DragonCon Week Is Here!
It seems like just yesterday we were all at LOAF's house getting ready for the '06 DragonCon. This year we're at Frosty's place, and we're almost set to go. The entire staff (minus Kris holding down the fort at home) drives down to Atlanta on Tuesday. In addition to the famous DC street parade, the CIC staff will also be promoting Wing Commander in the lobby of the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. If you're in town for the con this weekend, stop by and say hello! CIC visitors get a special new CIC gift! We'll also be participating in various panels where we'll have the opportunity to let organizations like Baen know Wing Commander fans are out there and want more. Many pictures, webcam and updates to come!

Saga Knows Nose Art
The Wing Commander Saga mod for FreeSpace 2 has released a new piece of artwork showing off some of the squadron artwork included in the game. This is a cool choice that harkens back to the original Wing Commander when players would see a Killer Bee painted on the side of their Hornet when taking off and landing:
The Wing Commander Saga main campaign will provide the player with the opportunity to fly as a part of several different squadrons, just like the original Wing Commander series. Each squadron has a unique group of pilots and its own logo. These logos can actually be seen painted on the fuselages of the different fighter squadrons in game. Most of our squadron logos are inspired by actual logos used in the Wing Commander trading card game. Check out the screenshot for an example of some of the squadron logos you will encounter.
Three of them are from the CCG: Hell's Archers (Arrow), William Tell (Longbow) and Mud Shark (Thunderbolt). The Hell's Archers were VMF544, assigned to the TCS Ark Royal.
