Here's an interesting article at Computer and Video Game News, which comes to us by way of ATFW -- it's about a rumored MMP game called "Earth and Beyond" which Westwood has been developing for almost five years. What's so interesting? Some time ago, one of the reasons we were told Privateer Online was cancelled was because Westwood was developing a similar concept. On another note, perhaps this news can bring some general hope to the masses... if one EA Affiliate can keep a project secret for five years, why can't another?
A Talent for War also reports that Digital Anvil's Conquest has been cancelled by Microsoft. So much for their lofty promises of non-interference with regards to DA from some years back.

The WCDC posted this final update on the Wing Commander: Lost Universe mod for Secret Ops. So it goes.
First I would like to say thanks for putting my mod on your website, I guess you liked the story I had planned. Well you deserve a reasaon why it has not been updated. First, I didn't get as much help as i needed and I got a job in the industry so it was very hard to work on a mod By myself and do my work on our games. Since then I have founded my own company. After we get set up in our new offices we start our first game, LOL, and yes it's a space sim - something very new and good and something no one would ever expect, there are people that want to do the Mod again, but no plans as of yet but may be in the future. And plans to talk to Origin to buy the Wing Commander Fanchise, but we are still talking about it. If we do decide to do it we would first talk to Chris because I personaly would like him involved in the game. So WC:Lost Universe might come back.Plus, if anyone would like to have my idea tell them I still have all the stuff I made for it, so just tell them to email me.
I just wanted to thank everyone for their enthusiasm about this language project... I'm hoping to put up a 'notes' page later today that will include what we already know from the games and what we've worked out so far. Stay tuned!
Oh, and a silver florin for me for locating another furball for the Kilrathi List -- Krihakh. If you can tell me what game he's from, you get a GOLD STAR.
