Privateer 2 CCG Recreates Planets

Forums member Deacan has posted some new artwork for the work-in-progress Privateer 2 based Erwachen (Awakening) customizable card game. While previous work has focused on turning fighters in to cards, this new work aims to recreate Privateer 2's planets with a view to eventually recreating the entire Tri-system. It's not immediately clear what role these cards will play in the game, but it's quite likely that they'll perform a role quite similar to nav points from the official Wing Commander CCG.

Wing Commander Jumps To #1

Shortly after yesterday's update, Wing Commander fans helped push the WC Movie to the most popular film download slot in IGN's Direct2Drive service. It's beating out movies such as Aliens, Office Space, Stargate, X-Men and others that are typically popular on the internet. Wing Commander also quickly jumped into the top ten at Amazon.com shortly after it premiered for Unboxed in September. Good job!
