New X3 Mod Blasts Off

Lc4Hunter is working on a new Wing Commander mod for X3: Terran Conflict. He has already converted a number of Confederation and Kilrathi ships and put them into an action-packed promotion trailer. The mod will eventually include every ship from Wing Commander 3 and 4. Each of the ships pictured so far look great, and the background "environmental" effects are amazing. More information is available from the (German-language) project website.

'Origin Museum' Opens to the Public

A resident of Britannia named Diablo has opened a new museum on the Origin shard of Ultima Online. The structure has two wings and is full of "unique and rare" artifacts. Public tours are available now! Below are some Stratics shots of the museum's sneak preview.

Diablo has been busy working on an Origin Museum -- Two houses side-by-side, inside the Luna walls, just east of the North Gate. Following EM Faine Morgan's High Seas Gauntlet and Maze Diablo took us on a sneak preview tour of the museums.
The museum opened to the public today, Thursday, December 3. When you drop by, plan to spend some time as both buildings display an amazing number of rares and artifacts. I have asked Diablo for a list of items displayed and some of the history behind the items.
The unique and rare items are an amazing collection, and to be able to view them all in one convenient place is a real treat.
