Star Citizen is really making waves now, even outside the gaming community. This is exciting stuff!

I don't think anyone in the Trek camp wants Star Wars thrown under a bus; they would just prefer that Trek stays true to its origins instead of being unduly influenced by Star Wars tropes. There is precedent for this. It's a well-documented story that Paramount made the first Trek movie as a...

Because the tone and style of SW and Trek have always been fundamentally different. SW is fantasy in space and puts a high priority on action sequences. Classic Trek is story-driven first and foremost, and in episodic format is much slower paced than SW. It's also closer to proper sci-fi and...

Has there been any info on setting / story for the new series? Too soon?

Go for it! I borrowed it straight from the game anyway. Tried to stick as close to the source material as possible. If you need a different angle, give me a shout.

Good to hear! Back to your awesome artwork now.

Yep, I wasn't a fan of the WC3 Hellcat paint job, I thought it was a bit dull. I also tend to think that I enjoyed flying the WC4 version more because 4 is overall a better game for me. Hard to be sure. I am shamelessly plugging my own work on your thread (sorry, sorry..), but seeing as you are...

Lovely! Have to agree, there is something special about the Hellcat aesthetically. It just looks right somehow as a fighter. Rugged, tough, no frills. I prefer the WC4 version, which is why I built that one.

Personally I much prefer the lighter textures, the one on the right seems a bit busy.

What's wrong with that statement? Seems about right.

On a roll now! Man, I have to brush up on my spacial awareness, I've always found HW a bit challenging.

Star Citizen mod, anyone? Would be epic.

I downloaded the mod this week after grabbing Homeworld on a discount Steam sale. It looks brilliant! Will it update automatically when I launch Steam?

Excellent! Good to see some progress. The intake (that's what I've always assumed it to be) looks spot on to me. I like the mock-up idea; it could be very useful as a guide for the final model. Keep up the good work!

That's fantastic!

Flat Universe is a totally standalone project. A very cool one, I might add.

I've had many a spin in my Aurora, and I won't be buying another ship. I want to repeat the Privateer experience starting with the Star Citizen equivalent of a Tarsus. :) I've contributed money in other ways as well, but no more ships for me.

I'd suggest the GOG route since a) they have added cool updates such as HD quality movies for WC4 and Prophecy, and b) it takes care of the compatibility issues. You would have a hard time getting many of the original versions to run on a modern Windows PC.

I bought an Aurora back in November of 2012. Still only have a single Aurora. Every little bit helps, right? Besides, CIG have always been adamant that you don't have to buy more ships if you don't want to.

Now that's what I call decorating! Season's greetings to all.
