For this week's update, we would like to share our rendition of one of Wing Commander's most unique ships: the Kilrathi asteroid fighter. It's clever blend of rock, engines, and weaponry is another testament of the Kilrathi's guile and creativity in the art of war.

Hi everyone,
We hope you've all had a great summer! For those of you heading back to school, we wish you the best of luck this year.
There are a few things we'd like to mention in this update, mainly focused on the progress of our project.
First, mission progress: The missions for episodes 2 and 3 are now finished, with the missions for the 1st episode nearing completion.
Second, new code features: New coding abilities that have been implimented into Saga include auto aiming, speed/distance multiplicator, better autopilot animations, and a better normal mapping code. These should lead to a more visually compelling final product, as well as a product that is even more in line with the original feel of Wing Commander.
Other progress includes the following:
In summary, the work is progressing forward at a good pace. In the mean time, we strongly encourage you all to login to visit the forums, check out our website, and send us some voice auditions.

Our last poll asked which fighter from the Prologue is your favorite. The Hellcat V won by a slim margin. The Thunderbolt VII finished in a close second place
Today's new poll asks which character in Wing Commander Saga: Prologue is your favorite: Assassin, Champ, Kettle, Ninja, Panzer, Sandman and Viking are your choices.
Later, after we find out which Prologue character you like, you'll have an opportunity to find out which Prologue character you are most like.

The Wing Commander Saga main campaign will provide the player with the opportunity to fly as a part of several different squadrons, just like the original Wing Commander series. Each squadron has a unique group of pilots and its own logo. These logos can actually be seen painted on the fuselages of the different fighter squadrons in game. Most of our squadron logos are inspired by actual logos used in the Wing Commander trading card game. Check out the screenshot for an example of some of the squadron logos you will encounter.

The WC Saga team is excited to announce a new Source Code Project development: the FS2 SCP now has a genuine autopilot feature, complete with fly-by animations. Up until this point, we were only able to create fly-by autopilot sequences using a somewhat complicated process. This new development has greatly simplified the autopilot issue. This is especially good news for WC Saga fans who want to make their own missions with autopilot sequences.
In a somewhat unrelated note: the database section of our website has been updated with new information.

For today's update we would like to showcase our final version of the Kilrathi Paktahn bomber. The Kilrathi Paktahn is similar to the Confederation Longbow by virtue of its torpedo attack capabilities. With multiple missile hardpoints and an impressive array of guns, this bomber can engage several fighters at once during a single run. With its six torpedo hardpoints, Paktahns are a Terran capship's worst nightmare. Its heavy armor and auxiliary guns make it dangerous to attacking fighters. Terran intelligence reports that Paktahns most often fly with Dralthi IV or Darket escorts.
