Warhammer is a major MMO which has garnered much praise during its development. Congratulations to all involved in the project... and here's hoping the game is a smash hit! Wing Commander fans may remember that Mythic recently allowed us to archive a massive collection of Origin's relics - so we can say with some authority that they have a great team which deserves all possible success!

Star*Soldier Gloss: Page 37
This is the Star*Soldier gloss for the third powerups page:
CONCEPT: See the previous post!
- "armor plates" - This is a concept that the development team was very big on, but that I never quite saw as being so important - ships in Wing Commander Arena differ from classic ones in that they have plates and plates of simple Durasteel armor which can be easily replaced, rather than hulls made of increasingly prized metals. I felt the need to reference it a few times, regardless.
- "Mace Tactical Nuclear Mine" - Originally the Mace Tactical Nuclear Missile from Special Operations 2 and Wing Commander IV. This was actually the earliest powerup to be 'explained', as the game's Producer wanted a backstory for the mine weapon found in the Meteor Storm mode.
