Eder from the Standoff team has released screenshots of what could be one of their most impressive features - rendered cutscenes. Interaction with other characters will take place through these scenes which utilize an old favorite style - talking heads! It looks like the team have done an astounding job recreating the style of WC2 right down to the uniforms. Remember, it's just over a week now until the release of the first episode on December 23. The episode 1 download size is currently estimated at around 80-90MB, and you'll also need the Secret Ops starter pack to play.
A new batch of in-game screenshots has been released for WC Saga. They're quite a bit more interesting than static renders. We see Hellcats and Arrows on duty and a flight taking off from the TCS Hermes in these shots.
What they escort is a secret. :)
I expect we'll see more shots such as these as the game nears completion.
Richard Garriott, creator of Ultima and founder of Origin Systems, Inc., is in the news... the space news! CollectSpace reports that Garriott placed a winning bid of $15,540 for a small bronze rocket statue which flew aboard SpaceShipOne's recent commercial launch. I guess we know what happened to all the money we spent on Wing Commander III Premiere Editions! You can find an article detailing the purchase here. The statue now has a pair of historical connections: it was sculpted by Erik Lindbergh, grandson of the famous aviator, and Garriott himself is the son of an astronaut (Owen K. Garriott, one of NASA's Group 4 scientist-astronauts, flew as part of both the Skylab and Shuttle programs).
