BREAKING NEWS: Arena Manual Sighted! Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Kotaku has posted the first pictures from what seems to be Wing Commander Arena's manual! They were sent a 60-page, full color 'in universe' magazine called Star Soldier to promote the game. It sounds like it's right out of Claw Marks:
The January 2701 issue of Star Soldier is 60 pages of ads, articles and details about the game and the universe in which it exists. It's pretty neat. The thing does a really good job of blending fictional pieces (like bios of the top 12 mercenary pilots and ads from Joan's Fighting Spacecraft) with hard facts (like the game's play controls, fighting maneuver tips and a list of Achievements.)
I certainly hope everyone gets to see the whole thing soon! You can find the original article here. They've scanned several pages of gameplay relevant material -- we'll have to wait for a hardcore fan to see more continuity material. Even so, watch out for the Scimitar diagrams and a shout out to a deserving Wing Commander editor...

Who Mods the Modders? Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Mustanger does! The creator of clay and wooden ships has set his sights to the electronic frontier by creating a pair of new missions for the Wing Commander Saga FreeSpace 2 mod! The missions are called Capture Destroyer (72 kb) and Transport Raid (131 kb)... and their content should be self-explanatory. They seem to be getting high marks at the forums, so try them out today!

Download the .fs2 files and then put them in the /data/missions subdirectory of your Wing Commander Saga Prologue folder. If you haven't picked up the Saga Prologue yet, it's available here.
