@Dondragmer - outstanding detective work as always! There's a guy who knows his stuff... I was going to take a stab at this and suggest it doesn't look like a fighter at all, rather a light capship cockpit - like a corvette, perhaps. It got me wondering if there were ever plans for an outing in...

That is fascinating! After the Amiga, my first PC experience of Wing Commander was on an IBM 386 (At 16mhz I think) - there was no sound card as such, only PC speaker effects, but they sounded very similar to the noises that Tandy seems to make; I wonder if they shared some DNA. Absolutely...

I still like Stingray's voiceover the most; he sounds exactly as I would expect him to.

Please, never disappear! Many happy returns.

Just beautiful - great to see that they're still airworthy too.

Glad it went well. I'd loved to have come, but on the condition that I was collected in person from my local airfield (Truro, England if you please) by one of the aforementioned B-25s and returned home in a Hellcat. The latter being one of my favourite American planes (in this part of the world...

Heh, it had to be a planet killer. Thanks.

Wow, these are great! I didn't realise how many there were. @Toast - what is that Behemoth shaped thing then?

In the last image, note the lack of shield readout on the autotarget screen on the right VDU. Much like in the PC version, if you had a low-end machine, certain features were missing. On our Amiga 600, the hand in the cockpit was static, there was no shield info and the cockpit explosions were...

A little late to this party but I'll throw in. What makes these scenes cool is that we only see them once; they're unique to the context of the missions. A lot of work clearly went into the Broadsword's mid-flight refuel, and not only does it look great but it adds to the immersion factor that...

Heh, yes...and being called "Morningstar" too, this is surely a nod to WC.

Not at all! I think most of us would have come straight to the CIC and post pictures if we'd seen that shirt!

That's a good one! I'd forgotten about the Batwing entirely, haven't really followed Batman since I was very small. I was going to suggest that the Galaxy has DNA from the Millenium Falcon, but looking at the two side by side I just can't find enough in common.

To the resident Wing Commander walking encyclopedia and possibly the most knowledgeable Wing Commander enthusiast on Earth; get well soon. ...and I only saw this after making a new thread about ship designs and feel kinda bad now.

@Lilja 's recent thread about the t-shirt with the Raptor-esque fighter got me thinking about the origins of some of our familiar Wing Commander craft. Before that discussion was had, I didn't have a clue the Raptor had an immediate design inspiration. So I've been thinking about designs, and...

I don't see why not. By the end of the war, Blair is a broken man; haunted by the countless deaths of friends, colleagues and his love interest and numb with physical and emotional exhaustion by the time he destroys Kilrah. I suppose in the hypothetical alternative universe you suggest where...

Indeed, the completed version of the Behemoth would have surpassed anything either side had produced during the war; even the Sivar Dreadnought. Shame about those 'soft spots' Tolwyn warned us about!

It's beautiful isn't it? I love that scene, the way the light from the PTC's blast illuminates the Fralthra before impact. I can just watch it loop, over and over. That does it! WC2 and SO play through on my day off tomorrow!

I went with the tablet, I could use it to reflect sunlight and hail passing ships like a signalling mirror...I think this misses the point of the question though, because in reality if I had to be stranded for a lifetime with no other Wing Commander media (a life sentence in prison maybe) then...

No Will Smith, no party.
