Saga Shuttle Assaulting A Target Near You

The WC Saga team has finalized the assault shuttle that will be used in their upcoming fan project. It was modeled and textured by the group's newest artist, Scooby Doo. Screenshots below demonstrate a typical mission where the shuttle is escorted by Hellcats to capture a Kilrathi transport. You can help provide feedback at Crius.net here.

Regarding the model, WC Saga aims to provide a wide variety of mission types. Among the sorties that the player will fly will be escort and close support missions for Confederation Marines operating out of this sturdy combat transport.

Apply For Darkstar Beta Beginning This Week

Wing Commander fans who'd like an early look at one of 2006's new space sims have an opportunity to apply as a beta tester for Darkstar One. The game's German developers are looking for dedicated players to spend a couple weeks playing the hell out of the game shortly before it goes gold. Candidates must be at least 18 years old, live within a country in the European Union, have a good handle on English grammar and meet the necessary technical requirements. If this sounds like you, apply now, because testing begins this week! A detailed list of submission requirements and information on how to apply can be found here. I definitely believe that the space sim market would be better off if Wing Commander fans had more input, so good luck!
