Star*Soldier Gloss: Page 30 (September 12, 2008)

Bandit LOAF

Long Live the Confederation!
This is the Star*Soldier gloss for the first maneuvers page:
CONCEPT: These pages were planned early on, as a maneuvers page was integral to Claw Marks... and Wing Commander Arena relies even more on 'special' maneuvers which are somewhat akin to those found in a fighting game. As you can see we're using original Scimitar line art positioned in different ways -- that's because several games (including Super Wing Commander!) reuse the classic 'Scim as the example fighter for these articles. Other elements (arrows and such) are taken from the SWC manual.

REFERENCES-
  • "T. Bruckner" - Thomas Bruckner, Wing Commander Prophecy (fan) editor par excellence.
  • "clan halls... mounted bones" - Another reference to the 'I shall mount your bones in my hall!' taunt from Privateer.
  • "Satellite Techniques" - Apparently focus groups had trouble with the satellites, which is why this was added.
