NEWS: The Man Behind the Machine
The Man Behind the Machine

One of the areas in which Wing Commander excels is in its ability to bring to personalize its epoch stuggle, which it accomplished in part by giving a face, a believable personality, and in many cases a name to the many pilots and crews of the ships that the player encounters throughout the series. One way in which this feeling was generated was through the usage of communication visuals which showed the man, or the Kat, behind the machine. In our effort to recreate the feeling of Wing Commander, Saga has created customised com animations. We've included one screenshot to give a preview of what communication visuals will be like in Saga.

Tolwyn’s reputation for risk taking with other people’s lives was considered  to understate the facts. The admiral’s willingness to sacrifice anyone or anything to achieve his objectives had long been lauded in the popular press. He was “the man who got things done”.- Colonel Blair

No errors, no random CTDs, just pure fun and proof of why getting hit with missiles is a bad thing.

Re: NEWS: The Man Behind the Machine
this is way cooler than low res imported animations from wc3.  while its understandable if you end up using them for the Kilrathi (unless one of you got an animatronic head off ebay), original stuff is always great to see.  Thanks for the monthly updates guys, i know we all appreciate every shred of info that comes our way. 

The only thing i miss are all the old screenies from back when most of the models were being shown off.  Shots of the Dralthi and the Longbow that have just disappeared from the forums.  Saving server space?
