WC Saga Shares Some Intel

The WC Saga team has released new screenshots that show the updated look of the projects's tech browser. Information on missiles, guns and ships will be provided as they become relevant in the game. The gun models are polished up versions of the weapons seen in Privateer. You can find more images at the Saga website.

Wing Commander Saga features a tech room with information about all of the ships and weapons that the player will encounter, both friend and foe. In addition, the tech room will also serve as a location where new intelligence is shared with the player. Keeping current on the hardware and intelligence in the combat theater will give players an edge in their desperate fight against the Kilrathi.

Some Real Lion Art

The last time we posted hand drawn Wing Commander art, we mentioned we wished we saw it more often. Well, apparently it exists and people just don't tell us. KrisV found a neat image at DeviantArt. You can rate the work here. And this is the artist's explanation:

Hail followers of the cosmic cats!

I'm no artist and I lack in ambition to be one, but here I present one of my Noctis Interpretation. More precisely said, a theme crossover at Deviant Art. Two Felysians discovered on their landing place an alien - Kilrathi!

Kilrathi are a vile feline species of an old space shooter game namely Wing Commander (including novels) which were slightly design-inspired by the Kzinti concept (Niven's Ringworld).
