Chris Douglas, an artist who worked on every Wing Commander game from Secret Missions 2 to Prophecy, saw the renderings provided by Captain Johnny and kindly forwarded us even more beautiful ship renderings! Check out the Dragon (missing from the previous set) and two new images of the Piranha, showing previously invisible details (like the purple 'Diamondback' markings on the latter ship). Now, who has that Wing Commander IV Dralthi beauty shot?
The Tigershark never really got a fair shake -- the game made it clear that it was a clunky ship to suffer through early on until Space Superiority fighters became available... but it still has an excellent look to it that isn't quite like anything else in Wing Commander Prophecy. That 'whole body' cockpit makes it feel a lot more like a science fiction fighter than some of the others (which are more inspired by modern warplanes).
Thanks to Captain Johnny for both archiving and providing this material!
