Today just happens to be the birthday of the CIC's own ace. Ace is one of the greatest guys I know, and I wish him all the best...

Buy-ed Out Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Buy.com no longer lists Kilrathi Saga! Is this because they're not going to get any in stock or because some jerk bought lots of copies to sell for a higher price? If it's the latter, I must kindly inform you that you are indeed the very worst kind of scum.

Origin Movements Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

PrivateerOnline.de reports that former Ultima Online team members Raph Koster (Designer Dragon), Christopher Mayer (Faceless) and Rich Vogel (Dupre) have all been reassigned to an as-of-yet unannounced online project not based on Ultima. Could it be what we all think is next?

Make a Splash with WCUE! Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Here's a another status update and request for help from the Wing Commander: Unknown Enemy team... (thanks to Pedro).

Our splash screen competition is drawing to a close, all entries must be sent by Friday in order to be taken into consideration as we have already received enough to offer a good choice. On Saturday the poll will be altered so that you can decide on your favourite splash screen and we will use the winner. The only problem that we have not been able to find a way around is the disappearance of MK84 who was rendering the CIC room for the BWS Dauntless so once again we must ask for the help of the fans. What we need is someone to create one room for the Dauntless, it could be 3D Rendered, hand-drawn etc, the only requirements are that it is 640*480, color, contains a door for entering the briefing and 4 computer panels. The Dauntless is a border world ship, extremely old and Bengal class so these factors should be taken into account. If you feel you can help e-mail us here, this is very important and could affect the release date.

Die Befreier Cover Scan Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Bjoern Hellebrand was kind enough to scan the cover of Die Befreier, the first Wing Commander novel. That's Freedom Flight to those in English speaking countries. In Germany, Die Befreier is published by "Bastei Luebbe" and costs DM 8.90. If you think this is interesting, you can also find the previously reported German cover of Heart of the Tiger here.

Tragedy Strikes Rocket Derby Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Sevastian Hague reports. A veil of sadness hangs over the famous track here at Volsen on Hermes, following the tragic death of Rocket Bike veteran Vlotr Karstein. It was in the 18th lap of the Opi-Ola Derby that Karstein, who had led the race from the outset seemed to suffer a loss of power, and plowed his Wakashiri 5000 into spectator stand D. 27 people were killed and 150 injured in the crash, which saw Karstein's body shatter into hundreds of pieces at the force of the impact. As I write, race officials are guiding around a Vacbot, collecting his remains for ceremonial burial. CIS agents are investigating, and there is talk of banning the sport. All in all, a sad day for Rocket Biking.
