Underappreciated Venture Returns Twice as Tough (September 11, 2013)

[ChrisReid]

ScoobyDoo has a new Wing Commander concept ship to share. This design is a souped up Venture class corvette that's split into two variants. One is meant for dogfighting against lighter ships while the other is a command cand control platform with a large reconnaissance disc on top. Differences between the two can clearly be seen in the high resolution wallpaper shot below. A heavier and more compact version of the design made its way into the Enigma 2666 project earlier this year. The Venture is a very underutilized craft in the WC universe, so hopefully this design finds its way into more of the WC mods out there that use Scooby's ships!

The Seagull and Seahawk. Both use a very old model of the Venture as a bases template. Seagull is an SWACS variant with less turrets while the Seahawk is an anti-fighter platform (3 stormfires, 2 lasers, 1 missile)

After Milk Run I gained a new appreciation for the workhorse corvettes. If any WC mod happens to SC the Venture is the ship I hope to see the most.
