New Bridge Commander Mod Pack Coming Soon
BES continues to work on his Wing Commander mod for Bridge Commander. The latest update includes a number of new capital ships for the game. Screenshots below feature some Kilrathi cruisers taking aim on a Confederation Behemoth and then getting caught in the fire from its massive cannon. I'm still not quite sure how such a gigantic thing lines up to hit a mobile target. Only a few WC3-era ships remain unfinished, so a new beta release should be available soon. Bridge Commander owners can try the first test here.
These ships are from my Wing Commander ship pack for Bridge Commander and BETA2 is nearly completed. These were just a test to see how they do without fighters, just capital ship VS capital ship. Most pics were taken while zoomed way out to get most ships. Also there are bugs in these shots. If you don't notice, then cool. :)

Quotable Wing Commander Gets British Nod
Benjamin Dunham was reading the new issue of GamesTM and found a cute little Wing Commander mention. I'm not too sure why a gaming magazine from the UK cares about Jack Thompson at all, but I do know quite a few people that have quoted Wing Commander in class at one point or another.
Jack Thompson has been called many things by anti-censorship campaigners, the gaming press and gamers themselves. He has become the father who thundered that videogames were evil, the school teacher who confiscated your gameboy, the bully who pounded you for quoting Wing Commander in class. In the video game industry, no man is more reviled.
Now who can claim to have quoted Wing Commander while having their Prophecy Advance confiscated?
