Widescreen monitor support is currently in the lead, followed by higher resolution videos and improved AI. Cast your vote at the Saga website.

Prelude Chapter 8 Halfway Complete

There's an imposing cruiser profile posted to the Frontier - Prelude to Darkness website, along with many more news posts. The project's Facebook fan page also has frequent updates. Ground vehicles are now in work to spice up future planetside combat, and overall progress on the chapter is half done. Things are progressing quickly, despite lew82's recent move.

The San Diego-Class Cruisers are very powerful ships and are primarily used as fleet escorts to larger ships such as Battleships, Carriers or Dreadnoughts, however Cruisers themselves are often used as command ships of much smaller ship groups.
