Prepare to be Boarded
Standoff's Pierre and Quarto are still plugging away at coding the final set of missions for Episode 5. The winning story arc is somewhat predictable for fans who've read Fleet Action, but the losing arc is a little more dynamic. The online scoreboard is also being upgraded with new missions and features. Eder has posted more details below.
More mission progress
Having received this week another new version of the two missions Pierre was working on, it's safe to say these are finished, apart maybe from a bug or two :-). That leaves two campaign missions still left to complete - one of which Quarto is currently working on. It's a pretty complex mission - I can say without revealing too much that it involves a bunch of Marine shuttles - so for once, the extra time taken is actually understandable. Anyway, hopefully he'll have that done before Easter, and then get onto the last mission. Pierre, in the meantime, has gone back into the simulator, making final adjustments in preparation for the scoreboard-enabling of the last remaining sim missions.
We've also made some small progress with voiceovers this week. There's still just under two hundred lines to be added (most of which are already recorded, and merely need to be cleaned up and filtered), but there's well over five hundred lines already accounted for. Tempest doesn't have much spare time lately, so we can expect the remaining voices to take a while yet. Still, I'm sure they'll be ready by the time the missions have all been debugged ;-).

Making the Game: Mission I2
Mission I2 is the second of the 'working up to the dreadnaught' missions in the Kilrah series. This is the one that involves intercepting long range capship missiles before they destroy the Midway. On one hand, it always bugged me when Wing Commander would use a gimmick only once (like these missiles)... but then gimmicks that were re-used (like the Wasp booster) quickly lost their charm.
These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!
