Development of WCU is back on track after a slight bump due to spring finals and the summer break. If you're interested in helping out, reply here or head over to the WCU subforum of the Vegastrike development forums: http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=12. Completing the...

Ahh, I see what you mean. Those aren't invented ships per se; they're subunitized versions of known ships. I think the Dorkrathra is a Dorkir class, and the Draymaster is a Drayman. Spirit decided to try making parts of the ships as subunits, so you can target the cargo holds, engines, etc...

We're currently wrestling with how to include the most WC content without running into consistency issues. WC1/2/3 and WC4/5 are different beasts, but they're all WC. Same goes with Privateer1 and 2.. how do you fit the Tri-system 'universe' into the WC universe that is much larger and fleshed...

Great work, Dreamer!

Wow, great submissions. Even the ASCII one. :) I've posted some comments below; keep those submissions coming! Cyberion: I tried to find your thread but it appears to have poofed, so thank you for reposting your image. Just from a quick glance, it seems a little too red - some of the...

Thanks to ChrisReid for putting this up on the front page today (6/27/05) If we get enough submissions, we'll probably move to a rotating splash screen system (as I'm told VegaStrike itself has) in the game. So don't wait, submit yours today!

That's ...um... very avant-garde. I like your use of the diagonal to draw attention. Incorporating the lightbu.. er, superbase, moebius superstring, and the seagull evokes the mysteries of space, time, and ocean birds in land-locked parking lots.

Request: WCU Splash Screen We need a splash screen for Wing Commander Universe. Currently there is no 'official' screen at all; we're using the Privateer Remake project's version. The new screen will be displayed at the beginning of the standalone installer process, as well as every...

Tarsus, Scimitar, Longbow, maybe a Hellcat. That'd be a good spread.

Actually, tractoring asteroids or placing minefields at the jump-in point is a great way to 'jam' jump points. :)

The WC games (except Privateer) didn't have a lot of bases, planets, etc... It was mainly about nav points and jump points. So scale could have been a bit.. skewed. Also, your carrier isn't going to go as fast as a fighter.

Lookin good.

I hope this doesn't get taken the wrong way... feline - that sketch would look great as a poster in a Kilrathi bar... :)

I tried to look up how to make table entries have different background colors - that would make the various stages of each task stand out more. Unfortunately, I didn't find a good way to do that. Maybe you'll have a little more luck than me.
