Front Lines Fan Author Returns to Duty

Fan fiction author Plywood Fiend, known for his long-running Front Lines series, is back with a new story. One Final Duty takes place during the final days of the Kilrathi War.

Hello, it's me again.

I can't help but feel a bit of a swine for posting this, considering the number of projects i've started and stopped abrupty once inspiration fizzled, including Front Lines itself.

Having played the exceptional Standoff episode 5 however, I find myself in a Wing Commander mood, and this part of the original intended Front Lines series was always something which was rattling around in the back of my head, so I decided to write it up at long last.

I've basically jumped right to the end, just as Lancelot Flight is making its run on Kilrah. I'm going to pick up the story there and run with it to the end in what will probably be about 3 to 6 chapters.

Thanks again to all who read Front Lines back in the day, I hope you enjoy this one.

Making the Game: HUD Piranha

Today's HUD is the nimble Piranha. For some reason, likely the square placement of the VDUs at the bottom, these all remind me of the Goran cockpit from Wing Commander Armada.

These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!

Please note that the "Download" link points to an older-style Visio file; these do not open in Microsoft's current Visio viewer. We have converted the VSD into a graphic which can be viewed by clicking on the document thumbnail.
