My God, It's Full of Stars

We have a treat for you today: the famous Wing Commander Universe Map included as a poster with Wing Commander Prophecy has been rendered as a digital image using its source files! The result is a beautiful, crisp 11,016x6,840 pixel scan that weighs in at just under fifty megabytes. Thanks to Jetlag for generating the incredible image from Origin's files! PopsiclePete, who has also been working on this effort, hopes to have a searchable PDF version available in the future. Here's a low res (5000x3100 pixels, 6 megs) version for those on a limited connection.

Fans Continue to Celebrate

Deathsnake created a fun layout of his Wing Commander ships on behalf of the Enigma 2666 mod. There's a great assortment of WC2-era Confed & Kilrathi capships lined up to commemorate Wing Commander's birthday. A few vessels that weren't actually available to fly around in WC2 have even been decked out in fleet colors of the Enigma Sector at the time. Hit up the CIC Forums or #Wingnut to join in the fun.
