Making the Game - Part 15 (May 20, 2008)

[Bandit LOAF]

Today we have a theoretical (and unused) mission series put together by Captain Johnny way back in June 1994. It details an encounter with the mysterious Prophecy aliens in a setting steeped in Wing Commander lore -- Olympus Station at Ghorah Khar. Any fan projects want to try making these into real missions?

Hmmm...that could be doable. Are there any pictures of the Gorah Khar station anywhere? I think the Standoff team did a Vision version of the WC2 Station, which would of course need to be retextured.

Olympus was a Wing Commander 2 "Star Base".

Is this a reference to the "_ALIEN_SPECIES_" from the WCP Dev Docs, or is this a reference to the Nephilim? Because those documents you the term "Prophecy Aliens" to describe the Nephilim.

Instinctively, I thought about the Luyten (or was it Krieger?) missions from SOPS.
They sure didn't lack good ideas.

I'm not sure what you mean. The aliens don't have a name at this point in development, so instead of Nephilim the documents you see will refer to them in various other ways (I don't think they ever actually become 'Nephilim' during Prophecy's development process...)

Well, Captain Johnny identifies them as the "Second Alien Race" to be introduced in anything more then a single ship. I wasn't sure if this referred to the Nephilim, or another Race entirely.
