Shipyards Churning Out New Lego Ships Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Seth Brice has commissioned several new ships for his Lego fleet. The biggest new addition is the Confederation class dreadnought. It's cruising next to a Bengal class strike carrier in the first shot below. A Gilgamesh class destroyer and light cruiser similar to the TCS Manassas are also depicted (but not to scale). The final ship is a Kilrathi dreadnought inspired by the Agon Ra Sivar. Although the colors are a bit wacky, the general structures are surprisingly accurate on some of these ships. It's worth noting that Seth hasn't even played Wing Commander 2. The Confed dreadnought design is based entirely on various images he was able to find.

Wing Commander Fans Are Clear To Upgrade Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

As we get closer to the release of Windows Vista, more people have been asking whether or not they'll be able to play their classic Wing Commander games on the new operating system. Current Windows users may or may not be eager to upgrade, but those who do should not have to worry about losing the ability to play their classic games. There's been mostly good news for Wingnuts when it comes to backwards compatibility. Our preliminary testing shows that almost the entire series can be played in Vista in one form or another. We're optimistic because our tests were done on a older beta version of the OS, and methods for emulating old systems have been making drastic improvements over the last few years. DOSBox works well on Vista, and all original DOS Wing Commander games will play in it. WC games that were designed for Windows will still need compatibility mode enabled, and that will still be accessible by right-clicking programs' main executable files. As more Origin titles are released for GameTap, they will also undoubtedly be playable within Vista. And when all that doesn't work, there's always the Crius.net Tech Support Forum.
