Armada Never Looked Beta (November 5, 2010)

[Bandit LOAF]

This batch of Wing Commander Armada screenshot's was used by Origin's publications team for several years in advertisements, web sites and e-catalogs... but look closely, it's not the Armada we know!

The screenshots were taken from a very early build of the game. Because specially designed models for Armada's lower resolution engine weren't ready yet, the game used Wing Commander III's already-finished Dralthi. Then check out the instrumentation on the invisible cockpits...

If you want to write it .

Well Dosbox has upscaling and some of the alternate builds support pixelshaders which you can play around with to make the game look better.

That one Kilrathi sihouette looks a bit like a Jalkehi. Also, they seemed to have planned for some smoother (I don't know a better word) numbers, i.e. 600 maximum velocity instead of 595.
