Excalibur

FROM: Rear Admiral Tolwyn, CINCWEAPONSDIVISION
DATE: 2008.04.028

For this week's update, we would like to show you our latest work on the most advanced fighter available in Wing Commander Saga: the Excalibur. This model was created by limdaepl. We have used the highest detail official Origin Excalibur models as our guide, and we have tried our best to stay faithful to the original renditions.

A next generation fighter currently undergoing trials, the F-103A Excalibur heavy fighter is ConFleet’s first attempt into copying Kilrathi cloaking technology. Specifically designed to outfly and outfight the Kilrathi Bloodfang super heavy fighter, the Excalibur can take on any fighter in the Kilrathi arsenal and win. It can be configured to fly any mission in any space or planetary environment. It packs heavier beam weaponry, missile loadout, and shielding then any ConFleet heavy fighter in service with the speed and acceleration to rival even light fighters.

The Image Recognition missile blew away the competition in our last poll as a favorite secondary weapon, coming in with 40% of the vote. The Friend or Foe came in second, with 17.8%, barely coming in ahead of the torpedo. The lonely Porcupine mine came in last place, with only .04% of the vote.

Our new poll focuses on your favorite type of mission to fly. Come cast your vote!

ConFleet Intelligence Scout

FROM: Rear Admiral Tolwyn, CINCWEAPONSDIVISION
DATE: 2008.04.02

One of the most well-known Terran vessels encountered in WC2 is the civilian Free Trader, which in some cases, is much more then meets the eye. One of these special cases is the infamous Bonnie Heather, which was in reality a high-tech special operations ship captained by James "Paladin" Taggart. The WC Saga Team wishes to show their version of the ConFleet Intelligence Scout. This ship is intended to be the missing link between older scouts such as the Bonnie Heather and the Bannockburn (mentioned in the Fleet Action novel), to true cloaking scoutships such as Zachary Banfield's "Highwayman" and the Landerich stealth scouts mentioned in the False Colors novel.

The true speed and capabilities of these scouts remain classified to the highest level. In addition, ConFleet Public Relations can neither confirm nor deny rumors that the latest Terran spy scouts are being outfitted with prototype cloaking devices.

Server Woes

DATE: 2008.03.26

As some of you may have noticed, we are experiencing quite a few problems with our server. We won't bore you with all the gory details of what has happened, suffice it to say that we'll move our site to a new server. In the mean time the website is back online, and rest assured that even though we are working on our server woes, our work on the WC Saga main campaign continues.

DATE: 2008.02.29

For this week's update, we want to let you know that we are currently working on producing a German version of Wing Commander Saga. We know many of our fans are in Germany or speak German as their first language, so with the help of Mind Crusher Studios, we will have a fully German version, as well. We will give you more details as this release draws nearer.

Cockpits redux

FROM: Rear Admiral Tolwyn, CINCWEAPONSDIVISION
DATE: 2008.01.30

For this week’s update, the Wing Commander Saga team would like to give you a sneak preview of the Longbow cockpit. Although cockpits weren’t included in the prologue campaign, they will be available in the upcoming full release. We have tried to stay as faithful as possible to the original cockpit designs, as seen in Wing Commander 3. In fact, some upcoming code changes in the SCP engine will allow us to do a few things with cockpits that we didn’t think were possible until now… but you’ll have to wait until later to hear more about that. Check out the Longbow cockpit below:

DATE: 2008.01.08

The Wing Commander Saga team would like to thank everyone who voted in the CIC's annual Fan Project of the Year contest. This has been a productive year for the WC community, and there were many great fan projects to choose from. Thanks to your support, Wing Commander Saga took first place in a tie with another great WC fan project, Standoff. Among all our reasons for making Saga, our primary goal is to produce something that the fans will enjoy. Your recognition and support help us dedicated to making Saga the best it can be for all of you to enjoy.

Fan Project of the Year

So, we'd like to pay you back a little bit for your recognition by providing you with some more eye candy. The Blue Point base (seen in Wing Commander 4) will make an appearance in Saga's main campaign. Although we won't spoil the story with details about why it is included and what role it plays, we'll share a screenshot to show our rendition of this Confed starbase.
