The Art of Wing Commander Arena - Part Thirteen (October 20, 2007)

[Bandit LOAF]

Here's another original Confederation ship... but not much is known about it! It 'feels' like an evolution of the ship we showed in our last update, but the design is clearly different.

The top half, at least, seems to be based on the Longbow concept introduced a few days ago, judging from the design of the bow.

Exactly my thoughts as well. It's nice looking, though I like the original concept art of the fighter yesterday and of the modified Longbow individually better than this mix.

I like the concept of this one. But I don't see the Longbow in it. For me it looks more like a Sabre.

Just to be clear: we don't mean it's similar to the WC 3/ 4 Longbow but to the concept art of the Longbow for Arena, that Wedge linked to.

Mh yes I overread the "top part" of his comment ^_^
I think I just don't associate it because when I read Longbow I got an image of a ship with wings thick enough to carry missiles in them and not the thin ones it had in the concept.

If you just compare the two top parts I agree that it has similarities with the Gaia Longbow.

I really like this one. I can see the evolution from the Prophecy designs. In fact, with that paint scheme, you could tell me it was a concept from Prophecy/SO and I'd believe it.
