This is the big prize for anyone interested in Wing Commander Prophecy's early visuals: an early version of the TCS Midway designed by Chris Douglas early on in the game's development. The evolution from Wing Commander III and IV is a lot more clear here!

When I played WCP I had wished that it had a stronger art design connection to WCIII/IV. That said, I prefer the version of the Midway used. Even though it feels like too much of a jump into the future from the Carriers in WCIII/IV. I'm not really liking this Mono-Hammerhead design, but it does feel much more connected to WCIII/IV era.

This is labeled as yesterdays "Cockpit Mockup" again - was that an accident or was there a reason for that (like an internal file name, or something)?
 
Reminds me a bit of Priv2...but every ship that has a not so standard look reminds me of Priv2.

I can't even tell if I like this one better than the actual Midway. The Midway they used is easier on the eye but it's also duller (if that is the right word).
 
I think it's only stranger because it's unfamiliar. Compared to previous designs, it's less strange than the Midway. I really like this one, and it'd be cool if it somehow made an appearance somewhere as some kind of bridge between ships seen in WC3/4 (which were mostly very old designs) and WCP.
 
Great finding. I really liked it.

Looks a bit like a Pilgrim Cross when you look it from a certain angle.
