There's No Dork Here

The Dorkathi is a fun ship to run across. It's great to line up, lay some steady fire down on his engines and watch the big explosion. And who could resist clustering eight Dorkathi for some Mace Missile practice in Academy? Marc has cleaned up the textures on this classic transport and posed it for everyone to see.

Concordia: We’ve detected a pair of Dorkathi troop transports in the system. We don’t know why they have strayed from their destroyer escort, but you and Stingray will intercept them and stop them from rejoining their convoy.

Stingray: Roger that, and lemme at ’em, Concordia!

Concordia: Glad to hear your enthusiasm, Stingray. Just keep it under control. We’ve beamed you an updated patrol pattern, putting you on an intercept with the transports.

Maverick: Roger, Concordia. Each of those transports can carry over a thousand enemy troops...

Concordia: Correct, Maverick. Each transport you take out is a thousand troops our Marines don’t have to worry about. We expect that they’ll have a fighter escort, so be careful. The transports are your main targets, so don’t let them escape.

Bad News For The British And French

It looks like the wait has gotten a little longer for European Wing Commander fans who are planning to pick up EA Replay. The release dates listed at both Amazon and the EA Press site have changed from February 23 to March 16 for the UK and March 15 in France. No other information has changed, and Germany still seems to be on track for a February 22 launch at this time. If it makes it, that would rule out localization problems. Whatever happens, it will undoubtably be worth the wait.
