Nob Akimoto sends information and screenshots from the upcoming X-Wing Alliance Wing Commander Total Conversion... and, boy, are they impressive! Based on these, this is without a doubt the best looking Wing Commander mod yet!
Anyway a lot of the basic models are done, but some of the textures do need work, as it can be seen. I suppose the help of anyone with the ability to create good bmp images to use as textures on the .opts would be welcome greatly.

Although we don't have a title for the TC yet, there are some things that we do have set in stone in terms of story.

The series is first set in early 2667 in Gemini, with the player cast in the role of a certain Matthew Robert "Coolhand" Tarkington, a newly recruited militia pilot.
The events basically lead up to the Battle of Terra, with some slight differences between the "canon" WC timeline, and this one. Mostly however you'll be playing a small part in a war escalated beyond anyone's worst nightmares.

Tarkington ends up playing a larger part in the war than he ever dreamed of, in several key engagements including the Battle of Vukar Tag...

Hopefully the multi-region/96 ships per region limit in XWA can be fully exploited to make the battles seem real. (BTW I'm not sure how many of you noticed, but yes, the name of the main character is a referrence to the Jake Grafton books. The character is even set to be a distant descendant of Toad and Rita Tarkington.)
