We've got two more updates from WC Tactics today. The Kilrathi Dorkir Transport has been added to the Nexus engine and is ready to haul stuff around. The model comes in at around 1800 polygons, which puts it on the lighter side. I'm more of a Dorkathi man myself, but those twin tanks look neat from certain angles.
The next addition to WC Tactics will be a shipyard facility. Chevie has released this tentative design. It was partially inspired by the Pegasus station.
To help with the concept, AD grabbed some shots of the the space dock seen in WC4's Speradon System. If you look closely, there's a neat little Hellcat attached to the structure. It can't be independently targeted, but you can blow it up.
It's been a while since we've reported on the latest updates involving WC Tactics for Nexus. The mod has been going some internal shake ups, but the core gameplay still seems to be intact. The Scimitar Medium Fighter and Waterloo Cruiser have been added to the game engine. Nexus' interface is pretty slick, so it's neat to see more and more Wing Commander ships added in.
The WC Tactics mod has released a pair of new spaceframes to fill roles in the Terran and Kilrathi fleets. The first ship is a Kilrathi frigate with a small launch deck and a variety of munitions. The second design is a Confed shuttle with a nose-mounted hatch to facilitate the way Nexus docks small craft. A variety of Tactics discussion is going on over in our Fan Projects & Editing forum. That's also a good place for new projects and potential ideas to get tossed around.
A new set of ships screenshots has been released for the WC Tactics mod. The game now has transports in the form of Draymen and Diligents. Chevieblazer's Drayman was inspired by Howard Day's high quality model. You can find more information on similar projects in our Fan Project & Editing forums.
Another set of WC Tactics screenshots has been released. Be sure to let Chevieblazer know what you think!
Well, there will be more confed races named in my story than just humans and firekkans, but you won't play the vanilla nexus campaign anyway. For now I'm integrating all ships in a single sample mission, just to look how they behave and sort out the one other balancing issue, since afaik there are no charts defining how much power a heavy neutron cannon or laser turret has.
Twin-engined Venture-class corvettes remain the archetypal Terran Confederation corvette to this day. From the end of the Vega Campaign to the opening moves of Operation Backlash, Ventures have served in patrol, reconnaissance, VIP transport and escort roles. When assigned to border patrol duties, a Venture may remain on station in space for two or three years without returning to base.Notable Venture-class corvettes include the TCS John Bunyan and TCS Johnny Greene, which helped perform the initial reconnaissance of Vukar Tag, and the TCS Marciano, which was one of the first responders to the Goddard disaster.
The Fralthi will be appearing next. Some preliminary shots have been released. Chevieblazer is looking for feedback on the designs here.
