Monee and Tye have been slaving away in Atlanta to prepare our convention attendees for the Wing Commander portion of the annual parade. They've completed a number of Prophecy-era flight suits and are modeling them below. The suits are somewhat material and labor intensive, so mass produced suits for everyone is out of the question right now, but they've posted a draft tutorial on how to make a set at Crius here. We hope to assemble more detailed instructions or kits for fans to make their own suits in the future.
If anyone in the Atlanta area wants to come and see the parade, we'll be marching from the Centennial Olympic Park to the Marriott Marquis/Hyatt Regency beginning at 10:00 am on Saturday, August 30. You can also check out shots of Maniac and Maestro wearing the original suits.
Although most places in the US still seem to carry Freelancer for $49.99, DemolitionMan in #Wingnut reports that Circuit City has the game for sale at $29.99 now. A lot of us here at the CIC had quite a bit of fun with this Chris Roberts inspired game. It does draw quite a bit from Privateer, and I'm really happy with how they solved the autopilot situation over interplanetary distances in a semimassively multiplayer space sim. People have been sending me reviews for it that discuss Wing Commander to one extent or another, so here are links to several. If you know of others, feel free to email them in.
