Jeremy Roberts Takes On Veronica Mars

Sinclair_K was watching TV and saw a familiar face that we haven't heard about in little a while. Jeremy Roberts, who played 'Gash' Dekker in Wing Commander 4 & Prophecy, starred in last week's episode of Veronica Mars. He's aged a bit and gained some weight, but it's been almost ten years since he filmed scenes for WCP. The actor has been performing mostly guest television roles, but he also had a part in Herbie Fully Loaded last year. Recent photos of Roberts can be hard to come by, so Sinclair grabbed a nice high quality segment from the show for everyone. You can check out the 11 meg wmv here.

P2 CCG Builds Equipment Cards

Here's a look at a couple of equipment cards that Deacon and Hudson have been working on. The Warp Shield is their latest addition, and the Coolant Units have been recently revised. In addition to the temporarily invulnerability that the shield provides in Privateer 2, it will give a slight all-around shield boost in the fan card game. I assume Nuke'ems are somewhere in the pipeline.

Warp shields provide invulnerability to all known types of weaponry for 10 seconds. They are extremely expensive, and they only work once. They are not currently available through the CCN, but prototypes are in the last stages of testing and they are expected to hit the market very soon.
