Ribbons Get Color Correction (May 4, 2017)

[Bandit LOAF]

Here's a cool surprise: marcomads has updated Claw Marks to feature the correct 'ribbon' colors! Wing Commander I awarded 'ribbons' for various achievements which were displayed on your character's uniform in the locker (and during medal ceremonies.) Ribbons were issued each time you flew a new fighter or when you completed a certain number of missions or kills. The Claw Marks manual included greyscale diagrams of the different ribbons... unfortunately, they didn't really match the ribbons in the game! Macromads has gone through and found the proper coloring for each:

As I'm reading the above entry it occurs to me that the ribbons were probably the one thing about the original Wing Commander I didn't even notice or gave any thought to at all. I mean yes: I read the manual entry on ribbons but I never once took notice of them on my character. It simply never clicked..I never even gave them a glance in-game.
Funny how the mind works sometimes.
