And it is one that could have been implemented at the time without much more space (which was a major constraint, I know). The other, lower memory solution, would be Wing Commander reports on the crew that update after every mission describing Blair's and Eisen's regular crew assessments. It...

I'd think the most obvious way would be something similar to Mass Effect's Squad Selection Screen. Instead of different outfits and highlights, the character's poses and reactions would show their morale: Low, Neutral, High. For Example, Maniac: Low Morale: Stand with his arms crossed barely...

@Bandit LOAF summed up the issues with Tolwyn well. While Forstchen is a great writer, he tends to deify flag-level officers, and as a result, our views of Tolwyn get twisted by that. In regards to the BW conflict, a lot can be said of the visual narrative in WC-IV, especially the uniforms...

I'd love to see some STLs of the helmet bits and the ID of the base helmet they used so I could make my own.

I don't know why, but something about that Paladin reminds me of Hiroyuki Sanada

I concur, the angle or the width makes it feel off.

Love his reworks, can't wait to see more. Now, if only they were 3D....

It does take some tricks and even then some models end up with holes and other issues, but they tend to be minor.

Most of them are not. I have more now and can post them later but, here are the sources: Upgraded Tiger's Claw: Klavs Model Pack Conversion Concordia: Wing Commander Saga Conversion (IIRC) Tarawa: Klavs Model Pack Conversion Victory: Thingiverse I have since printed, a Snakier (Klavs)...

What are you planning for "story mode?" Are you going to cover the inbetween times after SM2 up through the death of the Tiger's Claw? Or will it be a reboot of the entire first game, up through the death of the TC?

I'm curious how you plan to handle missile hardpoints, internal bay, external carriage, or just not show where they come from?

I am just speechless, I have been working with him on and off on some projects lately and just, I don't know what to say. This is truly a major loss to our community and fandom.

Those service dates displayed there are one of the things that convinces me that the game was supposed to have another multi-year time jump like between WC1 and WC2 instead of the one year difference that the eventual game had.

Dang the Centurion is huge if that cockpit is correct. How long does that work out too?

That depends on the source. Most are from our resident master modeler @Klavs81 but the lower detailed ones are from games, the WC-Prophecy models are from @DefianceIndustries and the WCP upgrade project. The Hercules is a straight rip from Freespace Open.

And of course, the timelapse

As s promised. Here is lightly modified 3d printed banshee. I mostly just stretched out the back end to make it look more like the game and cutscene model.

Thank you. I took the model and stretched some bits to better match what we see in game. I think it looks better, will see how it prints.

I second this idea. Not normally a fan of the Hellcat, but I like this one.

Looking awesome, puts mine to shame.
