N-Philes Interview Raylight

In what seems to be an ever increasing amount of pre-release publicity, Raylight has given N-Philes an interview all about Prophecy. Unfortunately there are no new screenshots, but there is a bit of new information. Here's a quick round-up of the new info:

• The game has battery save instead of passwords for saving game position.
• The game will have limited in-flight speech, mainly restricted to death screeches.
• Destruction of capital ship components (turrets, bridge, etc) won't be in the game. Because of this we can assume that Defang the Beast is one of the few missions cut from the game. We can't be certain which others have been cut at this stage.

You can read the full interview here. It's a very nice read into the overall background of the game.

The Color Balance Really is Awesome

Edison Trent, Freelancer from the future, sent out a cover letter to prospective players to let them know that his game will truly be out next week. Not only did the CIC get quoted, it got the best quote of the bunch. You can read it for yourself below.
