Its Christmas eve, I have places to go and drinks to drink so I will make this fast. This thread is being started to publically unveil the latest work of the WC Saga. This one is a canon ship that was never seen in the games, but unlike the Jutland-class that was an artist's interpretation, we have original artwork of it.
This next ship on the line is the Kilrathi Dubav-class light carrier, a warship that was cut from Wing Commander 3. I was able to find it in the “Making of WC3” CD-ROM that Origin released with its first official WC3 guide. I was also able to prove this carrier’s existence through Victory Streak and False Colors. For the time being, we named this carrier class the “Dubav” as a tribute to the False Colors novels, in which the light escort carrier Dubav was Lord Ragark’s flagship. We intend for this ship made to be that warship.
Armament is six Laser Turrets and a torpedo launcher. As this is a carrier, its fighter complement is 40 combat spacecraft (five 8-ship combat squadrons) and a support squadron of 8 Naktarg shuttles. Length is still being debated but we’re guessing to be around 600-ish meters.
This above picture is the exact picture as seen from the Making of WC3 CD-ROM. The below pictures are the new model themselves.
Credits are as follows: concept art and blueprints by Origin Systems, modeling by Lars (it’s a long story), and textures by Starman.
