Try Not To Drool Over This Fake Wing Commander Mockup... (August 3, 2015)

[ChrisReid]

This is not a real product, but we sure wish it was! Fakes Forge creates imaginary collector???s editions of games that don???t exist but sure ought to. The box cover merges Blair???s face from WC4 with the Star Citizen Bengal class carrier. It comes with an imaginary Saitek X52 and classic blueprints. Even Klavs??? Raptor makes an appearance! There???s lots of tiny little details that make it evident that the artist really knows their Wing Commander!

The player takes the role of a nameless pilot aboard the TCS Tiger's Claw, a Bengal-class Strike Carrier. The player gets to name the pilot and chose his callsign. The pilot (known in-production to Origin personnel as "Bluehair" after his most notable feature) quickly rises through the ranks of the flight wing, and (presuming the player performs ideally in the cockpit) eventually leads a strike on the Kilrathi High Command starbase in the Venice System.

Hornet cockpit meets TIE Fighter cockpit... interesting. Klavs' Raptor has been poached as well. Can't figure out that fighter with the Bengal though; resembles a 350R or M50 with the wings ripped off. Maybe a Scythe?

Anyway, thanks for the late April Fool's joke.

Ouch.

They say you're not a true artist until somebody steals your crap. I'm honored! Actually, I think that particular shot came from the Flat Universe folks. Pretty sure that cockpit shot is straight off of somebody's uncredited Deviant art page.

I almost want to cry that this isn't real
