(sorry, just had to get the 100th post on this thread, it's a personal goal of mine :))

I think they fixed the link last night.

As I said in the post, the Spikeri is a corvette...

Yeah, I realised it was a corvetted after posting. Oops.

Why label it a Fralthi?

And I still say that the WC:Invasion ships have been mirrored. Pity, that's the only fault I find in them.

Those are some sort of... slave-ships...

Yeah, but didn't Freedom Flight identify them as corvettes? I mean, there's nothing to say that the cutscene ships are the same as the corvettes in FF, but it would certainly make sense...
 
I thought so but theres no way those ship models could be mirrored. Maybe some of them but not stuff like the Concordia class carrier and Pelican transport.
 
While we're on the subject of Freedom Flight, what's the ship on the cover (never read the book, going to pick it up tommorow). I just gotta know.
 
When it was originally the cover of WC1 it was a Dralthi. Dont know if they changed it to anything specific. I dont trust the images on the covers of books (and especially comic books) cause they usually have little to do with what is going on inside.
 
yeah, I mean, what's the ship on the cover of End Run? It looks like it might be the Tarawa, but the numbers don't match up.
 
That is the mutilated cover of WC2. Just like they changed the cover of WC1 for Freedom Flight, they did the same for End Run. Look at the cover of Action Stations. Theres a guy wearing all this freakin weird stuff on his head and two women in the background. Find ONE woman in the whole book who is around for more than a few pages. Only HotT and Price of Freedom have accurate covers cause they actully took them from the game boxes' covers without changing them. Even False Colors has a somewhat messed up cover cause the Excaliburs arent painted right.
 
I kinda envy the german version of AC. At least THEIR cover bears SOME slight relevance to the story. Although, the US version has some ships in the background which I suspect are the battleships, if I recall.
 
Hmmm, I havent seen the German version of AS. But still just like in Freedom FLight, End Run, even Fleet Action, i dont think the ships acurately portray the way the ships actually look.
 
Freedom Flight is referring to those little ships in the background, IIRC... it mentions the corvette landing and letting out troops, different from the already-landed slave-ships. (So, yeah, you can see them in FF -- but they're no the big round ships).

The cover of End Run is like the cover of Wing Commander 2 -- a carrier that's the same class as the ship in the story, but *not* the same story. (WC2's box has the CVS-14, whereas Concordia is CVS-65... End Run simply has a different Escort Carrier). The fighter is, presumably, a Grakhi.

The theory regarding the woman on the Action Stations cover is that she's the one from the end who's trapped with Kruger (and that the guy is Kruger).

It's possible that the ship on the cover of Freedom Flight is the Kilrathi starbase seen at the end of the book. It's possible that it's one of Fleet Action's Vatari, although I'd rather believe that the SNES SM1 heavy fighter thing is a Vatari, since it better fits the description.

Don't think there's anything wrong with having an Excalibur in different colors -- although Excaliburs are only vaugely mentioned in False Colors.
 
Thing is, there are two women on the cover of AS, and there are no female major roles in the book.

What is a Gakhri, by the way? Never heard of it.
