Great news if you still need the Wing Commander Academy cartoons. I've just updated the WCATV mirrorpage, and I'm happy to report that the entire show is once again available for download! Thanks to Matthew O'Neill of the Mystery Men the 400MBs of Wing Commander history have found a new home. What are you waiting for? Go get them!

The negatives in Freespace 2 don't add up to a whole lot. You will have to own a fairly powerful machine to play the game at an acceptable framerate, and even on a powerhouse box, things tend to get a little choppy during the mammoth scale battles. As I mentioned earlier, the artificial intelligence has been improved over the original game, but in-flight dynamics boil down to the same basic concept we've seen since Wing Commander 2. For me, the only prevailing thing I don't like about Freespace 2 is that it never breaks the Wing Commander mold completely. While there is certainly nothing wrong with that, having seen glimpses of Digital Anvil's Freelancer, I expected a little more than I got.
Veltek spokesman Phlamin Omer reveals all. We at Veltek are proud to unveil the Maelstrom class Proxmity Missile. Research has shown that an astonishing 47.9% of combat missile launches fail to destroy their target, due to the missile being out-maneuvererd, the deployment of decoys, or simply an insufficiently powerful warhead. The Malestrom remedies all these problems: it contains a proximity fuse that will detonate the missile when it attains a certain distance from the target, rather than merely on impact, making it very difficult to avoid or decoy. It also has a much more powerful warhead, and a far larger blast radius, than conventional missiles. Buy one today, or it could be bye-bye tomorrow.
