"H'as aiy'hra n'hakh ri'kahri krikajj, nai korekh sha'yi"
"Beyond the eyes of my enemy, I shall prepare for the day of his destruction." Wing Commander Invasion's latest ship is the imposing but unassuming Kilrathi Comcon from the Movie. It's a support ship that fills an important surveillance role in the game. Players who deploy the sneaky craft will have a major sensory advantage over the Confederation. Download version 2.0 of this WC mod for Star Wars: Empire at War here!
As you already know, the Confeds have the Pelican repairal tender. The Comcon has a dual purpose. Firstly, it has the ability to use a "sensor ping" anywhere on the map. This sensor ping will last for about 30 seconds and reveals a limited sized area. Secondly, this ship also has a much larger "field of view" and will clear the Fog of War to a much better distance than ANY other ship in the game. It is also limited to being constructed 3 times in any game.

New 747 Takes Off
The new Boeing 747-8 flew for the first time this afternoon over Everett, Washington. This inaugural flight comes one day shy of the anniversary of the original 747's first flight way back in 1969. The iconic hump over the forward fuselage is still present, but the body has been extended and the plane has been outfitted with a brand new wing design. Engines, the flight deck, interiors and other systems have been patterned after new technology developed for the 787. Today's flight featured the freighter version of the plane. The passenger model with an enlarged upper deck will be ready next year.
