It is a Rapier, Wrapped in a Mission, Inside Enigma (July 23, 2011)

[ChrisReid]

The WC2 Remake has a new name: Enigma 2666. The overall setting is similar, and the updated title is a bit more creative. New shots below show off all of the game's Confed fighters and a cockpit view from the Sabre. Capships have also been implemented, and sharp observers will spot a few unexpected vessels among the fleet. These are slated to show up in a "Special Operations 3" expansion later on. Cloaking has been newly added, and finally, there's an updated shot of the game's intro movie. Find out more at the mod's website here.

​

I want to use now several WC1 ships in the [game] too. So here is an update of models we need:

Bloodfang MK1
Fralthi
Ralari
Targu II
Dralthi MK1/2 - Reason: Remember the old dos intro before WC2 was released? I take some lines from that intro and put it into the new one
K'tithrak Mang
Sol Sector Base
Supply Depot (Confed)
Supply Depot (Kilrathi) - in the works by FekLeyrTarg
and several civilian fighters and bases.

Perhaps someone can help us and send meshes.

This is pretty cool! I like the stealth fighters and your cloaking effect seems to fairly faithful from what I remember.

Everything is looking sharp. What was the reason for the name change?

Keldor from the Saga Team wrote this in the HLP Forum:

I'd like to ask you guys to maybe re-thing what you are doing here.
This project is about re-creating the look and feel of the universe and the games but it is NOT about re-engineering one of EA's games. That is on the fringes of being illegal and EA has a history of shutting such projects down... for good reason.
Creating your own interpretation of things and using their universe and design to do it, to show them their stuff is still loved very much is one thing. And even that they have a right to shut down. But recreating one of their products... that is not exactly what I think they'd like very much. it doesn't put any of your own creativity into action and instead takes away from their creation.
This isn't meant as any offense to anyone creating a "remake campaign" in here, but maybe something to think about. Maybe you should rather make a campaign about the Epsilon Sector Campaign or about the nephilim war or whatever instead of just recreating someone else's game...

I think he was right. A name called Wing Commander 1-4 Remake has more attention then the names Enigma 2666, Vega Strike, Last Line of Defence or Heir to Kilrah (thats another idea from me). And its not really a remake. I use ingame cutscenes and not the one from WC2. Some missions are different. For example you will destroy or see WC1 ships (Standoff was here the source) and have in some missions more wingman than in the original WC.

PS: Another "Fan" Remake does go the same way:
Night of the Meteor is Adventure in the Style of Day of the Tentecle but from the Story Maniac Mansion. They make own puzzles and the story is based on Maniac Mansion. But its not a remake.
