Tiger's Claw Engines All Lit Up

Highly skilled artists like Tim Peel are often obsessed with detail, and when an odd shadow was noted in his last wallpaper, it needed to be fixed! The updated image below now shows the main engine nozzles fully illuminated. Grab it in either 1920x1080 or 2560x1440. For good measure, the view from the front has been included here as well, since such a gorgeous design deserves to be seen again! This model was originally created by the talented Howard Day.

I Like Big Boosters and I Cannot Lie...

Roberts Space Industries has posted two different articles that highlight the enemy fighter that's been featured so far in the new game. These shots specifically call out the big engines and numerous directional thrusters that drive the game's physics - what a day for engine lovers! The pictures also do a good job of showing off the alien race's Kilrathi-esque aesthetics. As far as the pledge drive goes, Star Citizen has now raised more than $800,000!
