What an epic day it was when this came out and I got the big box as a gift off my parents, straight onto the PC until bedtime! I did wonder who the shadowy figure was at the time.

Wow, I've missed this; I thought it was a 3D print, but is it a kitbash? its impressive.

I get more of a Thunderbolt VII vibe off the original image?

Looks sharp! I have been playing through Tie fighter again (reliving my youth); up to battle 10, but I will need to restart looking at the quality of this!

Yes, I can see the resemblance, especially in that first photo. So the the next step, is it coincidence or something deeper?

anyone else get a "kilrathi-esque" vibe off that black lance carrier? I could imagine if it can cloak or something it might have kilrathi technology integrated maybe?

Its an impressive trailer and looking at some of the gameplay videos I get the feeling that they've got it 'right' in terms of feel for the main part. Not sure about the 5 v 5 mechanic, but I don't have a PC capable of running it so I won't be able to test it. Have fun if you do pick it up

That is a nifty piece of history; I am always amazed at the cost of the games back then, $60; and after all this time they are still about the $60 mark. Allowing for inflation they should be over $100

Grand prix 2, what a game! I think that was in the box of stuff I gave to the NVGA in Nottingham (well Sheffield now) So easy to crash though.

It had some really good ideas, even on the logistics side with having to organise missile supplies and replacement ships, having to escort your own freighters etc. agreed the flight engine was a little mediocre though.

that's pretty interesting. I never picked up Barnes ship was a Sabre I kind of thought the strakha / Sartha was a prototype proof of concept retrofit thingy in my mind, before they designed a dedicated fighter (Strakha could have been its codename :) ) The last one, I thought that was a Rapier...

Wow, HGreat news! thats a real nostalgia trip. Gunship 2000, what a game. And X-COM Interceptor, the intro is stuck in my mind.

Its a shame projects don't always work out. Can you share any deets on it now, or is it all still hush hush? I really enjoyed Starlancer, great seeing the early sketches and models again in this thread. Really liked the modular design of the Reliant, like you could just bolt on a new hanger...

i am liking those spacesuits; they're pretty snazzy! Great day for humankind.

"Look out for flying rocks" or "You're no good to me reduced to atoms" as a nod to WCA TV?
