The Art of Wing Commander Arena - Part Fifty-Five (January 16, 2008)

[Bandit LOAF]

This space station shows up in a lot of early concept art but was ultimately replaced with the Perry-style base seen in the game's intro. It survived well into a working build of the game, though - when Chris and I first saw Arena the original station was in place.

Neat.

The style reminds me of Priv 2. Even though I like the design, I am still glad they used the Halsey-class station. It is very nice to see connections to other games, especially when they're spin-offs. (Though one should never overdo anything).

Wow, that's a really, really nice space station design. It looks straight out of Secret Ops to me. Plunkett-level good looks there.

I almost wish they hadn't gone through the trouble of replacing it with Perry, even if it would mean one less gimmick from the other games.
