HOT DAYUM. Now THAT looks like a truly heavily armored Kilrathi warstick. Great job, guys.

That's exactly the one I'm talking about. I'm just wondering aloud if 1) the cockpit on page 14 of the ship art sketches is supposed to be that ship's cockpit and 2) whether or not that ship eventually became the Demon, statwise (since it is seemingly a "speedster".)

Gee, didn't think this was THAT boring a topic. :x

Following Kris' request, I've been sucking away at WCNews' bandwidth faithfully, and I came across something in the Priv ship sketches that interested me. On page 8, there's something that looks like a Centurion without wings. At first I merely assumed it was an embryotic version of the Cent...

If they do service theater, then there's the Vega, Enigma, Deneb, Sol/Proxima, and Kilrah Theaters.

Definitely the two tone wings. Awesome.

TBH, I'd just include the Demon. The Stiletto and Gladius are MILITARY ships; I doubt they'd be available to the common man.

Well, also consider that Priv is an older game than WCIII and thus they didn't yet know they'd buff the shield and armor stats. :p Heck, the Confed and Kilrathi ships of Gemini certainly don't have armor in the 100s.

Erhem. Shoot me now plz. I need to pull Armada up and see how it came out again, actually...

I think Tolwyn said once that a GeForce 4 TI or equivalent thereof was required to run the game at full shininess.

The practical reason for the Wraith not showing up being, of course, the fact that the TrueSpace engine would have choked on trying to make a ship that curvy :p

Pics as provided by Fleet Tactics (not the original models, but these guys are pretty faithful to the originals): There are some similarities between the two - rip off of the center particle cannon from the Morningstar and you'd have the Stiletto's nose... and the engine configuration...

I took the modern Stormfire as just being a Stormfire. The interesting thing about WC4 guns is that each one is sort of a "variant" on already established technology. It felt like an evolution of technology, not just a sudden tech dump. And LOAF, it still bugged me in SO because there was...

SO featured weapon creep again, to my annoyance. Prophecy was pretty good about it, though. The only new "gun" was the charge capacity on all the mass drivers. (This isn't counting the alien guns, but we've been talking about player-only ships so far, so I'm not counting them.)

You guys need to get the hell off of Gamespy, for starters.

It's called "trimming the number of guns WC ships use to realistic levels." WCArmada and WCIII had something on the order of a dozen gun types each - Armada got closer to two dozen. It was getting pretty ridiculous before it got trimmed down in WCIV.

A month of inactivity, and then raw tastiness. Awesome work guys.

You need no CD at this point; WCS is a standalone program.

I loved WW runs. Usually I'd skim the hull, jump right in front of a turret, fire off a HARM, follow it up with a few shots, and watch the turret blow. I have to admit, though, just so long as I could fly and blow stuff up for the good of humanity, I'd be satisfied.

Yes, I checked that, and just as I was coming back to change that, I got disconnected. Grr.
