Here's a look at some of the support craft to be featured in Wing Commander Collateral Damage. The blue ship is an enhanced version of the SAR-23 Condor. It sports extra fuel tanks, a pair of Ionic Pulse Cannons and a small turret. The other craft is a marine assault shuttle dubbed the "Charon" that's loosely modeled on the Hercules LC.
The fiction for Secret Ops' first episode is easy enough -- there's no branching, so it's not practically any different from the 'lead in' fiction. One interesting note: this version of the fiction includes parenthetical notes to add various images to many of the updates ("Images needed: “Jupiter 1” station shot (altered shot of existing starbase"). We knew this was intended, since one of these notes slipped through the editing process... but it's a shame to see how much concept was abandoned here. A select number of flashy screenshots would have improved the experience greatly -- the 'wall of text' was for hardcore fans only.
These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!
