Just read trough the newest News in CIC and something struck me as odd..

There is a Picture showing 6 Ships first two being BWU Banshees but the next 2.. are just odd.. looks Kilrathish.. but not really.. does any one have a clue what Fighter that could be? (their two of them)
 
Too lazy to retype... copy and past away!

[02:08] <King_Ghidorah> those pictures he posted are clearly dralthi
[02:08] <King_Ghidorah> it's 2 banshees, 2 dralthi, and 4 other fighters
[02:08] <King_Ghidorah> above and below the plane of the other ships
[02:08] <DMJC> 2 more dralthi?
[02:09] <King_Ghidorah> no
[02:09] <King_Ghidorah> they might be Avengers
[02:09] <King_Ghidorah> or they could be the Kilrathi shuttles
[02:09] <King_Ghidorah> i forget what the shuttles looked like

It's really pretty hard to tell what the other ships are from that picture... I also suspect they're shuttles, upon further thinking, as it looks almost like Pasqual 1.
 
Breaking News

[02:35] <King_Ghidorah> oh wait
[02:35] <King_Ghidorah> were the shuttles corvettes?
[02:35] <Halman> What picture?
[02:35] <King_Ghidorah> kjhfaskdjgafhjsdafhjdsjhfadsjgfa
[02:35] <King_Ghidorah> i know what that is
[02:36] <King_Ghidorah> it's 2 banshees
[02:36] <King_Ghidorah> 2 dralthi
[02:36] <King_Ghidorah> AND THE GUN TURRETS OF A CORVETTE
[02:36] <King_Ghidorah> THOSE 4 THINGS ARE TURRETS
[02:36] <King_Ghidorah> AND THE LEADING EDGE OF THE CORVETTE IS DARKENED
[02:36] <King_Ghidorah> someone with a zone account post what i just said into that thread

Seems somewhat odd to me, as there aren't actually any Kilrathi Corvettes in Wing Commander 4... It isn't like they didn't have the game data for them though, and anything's possible in a pre-release screenshot. As I really can't see what they are in the background, I'll just post anything anyone tells me to!

[edit: here's more random bantering!]
[02:37] <TC_Sl33p0Rz> mkay
[02:38] <DMJC> lol
[02:38] <DMJC> think sorthak
[02:39] <King_Ghidorah> that's why the ones underneath are different
[02:39] <King_Ghidorah> and it looks like they're part of the dralthi
[02:39] <King_Ghidorah> since you can see some of the corvette's skin there
[02:39] <TC_Sl33p0Rz> which is odd, as they didn't ship WC4 with corvettes in it
[02:39] <King_Ghidorah> an it's brown like the dralthi
[02:40] <King_Ghidorah> instead of grey like the universal turret
[02:40] <King_Ghidorah> yeah they did
[02:40] <King_Ghidorah> the shuttles in the kilrathi systems are corvettes
[02:40] <King_Ghidorah> they're the only kilrathi capship
[02:40] <King_Ghidorah> well, not really a capship
[02:40] <King_Ghidorah> but the only big ship
[02:40] <DMJC> not weird tho...
[02:41] <DMJC> SAME game engine
[02:41] <King_Ghidorah> yep
[02:41] <DMJC> even HCL was able to port stuff across
[02:41] <TC_Sl33p0Rz> I don't remember there being corvettes in there...
[02:41] <TC_Sl33p0Rz> I know that
[02:41] <King_Ghidorah> hehe
[02:41] <DMJC> he had a darket going wheeee..
[02:41] <TC_Sl33p0Rz> hence why I mentioned that in my post, fool

[edit: and even more!]
[02:42] <TC_Sl33p0Rz> eh, I threw in more talking for the hell of it
[02:42] <TC_Sl33p0Rz> as I assume everyone wants to listen to me say stuff
[02:43] <mercury> I live to listen to you say stuff, TC
[02:43] <mercury> it's just that damn satisfying
[02:43] <TC_Sl33p0Rz> yay
[02:43] <TC_Sl33p0Rz> The Kilrathi shuttles in Pasqual were stupid little boxy shuttles...
[02:43] <DMJC> heh
 
:confused: Hmm.. jup.. looks sort of like a Dralthi.. if the part sticking of the Side is another fighter.. flying very close formation with it ;) hmm.. but that makes it 2 Banshees 2 Dralthis.. and 4 unknown Craft..
 
As I recall, its 2 banshees followed by 2 dralthi followed by 2 kitty shuttles, followed by smehting else, cant remember what. Probably 2 more shuttles. Sounds about right. Yeah, I think there was 4 shuttles.
 
It's something. It was a pre-release pic, so it could have a model they didn't use, like the Black Lance "Escort Carrier".
