For this week's Saga update, Klavs is showcasing his new take on a Wing Commander classic: the TCS Condcordia.  Klav's reports, "I've been hard at work off the radar creating all new, never before seen content for WC: Saga. Some familiar stuff, some new stuff, but all with Saga's devotion to high quality. I tried to put my own spin on the old Concordia, bringing the old ship a little more into the real world. Hope everyone enjoys it, and gets warm fuzzy memories of WC2 without getting TOO upset at the changes!"




We would also like to share two other images. One was created by Lars, showing a bridge-eye view of two Rapiers taking off from the Concordia. In the other, Klavs shows us a peek inside the Concordia's cavernous fighter bay.

Fix the links, the http://"<url>" makes Mozilla cry.

That said, nice model.

Try this, and check out our homepage at wcsaga.com. If you can't see the images here, you should be able to see them there. I'll see if I can have a more tech savvy member of the team post some better pictures.

Also, Klavs has posted them here: http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/3d-gallery/36469-tcs-concordia.html

Sadly, my Wing Commander experience has been restricted to Super Wing Commander for the Super Nintendo, and Wing Commander Prophecy and Secret Ops, so I'm not as familiar with the Concordia as I'd like to be.  Based on what I see though, it looks to be one bad-ass mother.  The texturing is well executed as is the modeling.  I look forward to seeing it in action.

very impressive, any chance of a download of it to replace the logo entry in Prologue?  would love to base some missions off it.  also any chance of a Bengal class?

Concordia was only in WC2 (and the two expansion packs).  And yes she was definitely a tough customer indeed!  In the first capital ship to capital ship battle of the Wing Commander series around mission 2 or 3 the Concordia is attacked by a Kilrathi cruiser which is dispatched courtesy of the keel mounted Phase Transit cannon.  One hit from that and bye bye cruiser.  It was great

She was also in the WC3 intro

She was also in the WC3 intro

When he says this all you see is the front 1/3 of the ship sticking out the sea during the opening sequence after she is shot down during battle earth as a continuity for the player's story from WC2, I.E. why is he transferring to the victory

If I remember it correctly the Concordia wasn't shot down during the batte of earth but at a later battle.

Not the Battle of Earth.  The Concordia survived that battle.  As I remember it was a planet called Vespus and it was during a rear guard action trying to save other Confederation ships.  The Concordia was eventually forced into low orbit and crashed.

[Cobra]

The one crashed on Earth was like... Wellington-class or something. I don't have WCS anymore and I can't be bother to look it up right now.

[Tolwyn]

No carrier ever crashed on Earth And surely it was not Wellington-class.

[Cobra]

Play Wingcommander 2 again.

[Tolwyn]

Go play it yourself.

[Cobra]

Bah, you're both right. The Concordia crashed on Vespus. I didn't think it was Vespus, because when i played WC3 I couldn't understand what the hell they were saying.

[IceFire]

Open your ears?

[Cobra]

Seriously though, when I played it, the dialog was... muffled.

[gevatter Lars]

I can't remember haveing any problems...but then I have played the geman version. Maybe they spoke more clearly in that version or my meories are blured because I have heard that dialog so much that I can repeate it without hearing what they say ^_^
