let's take a closer look at the glow maps, shall we?

[Starman01]

Now there are only some light cones missing around the confed-logo and the front- and back-nameplate

[Tolwyn]

dammit, forgot about those

Time for some more screenshots. Those are missing the shine effect since Roy Fokker, our esteemed Fredder who took them has a Radeon card. But they are very impressive, nonetheless:

Two Arrows escorting something. What it is is a secret.




A hellcat:




A few Longbow Bombers from the Wilhelm Tell squadron:




A Savannah class cruiser:




The Hermes battlegroup(what's left of it at that time). You might recognize this location if you watched our trailer:




The fleet prepares for a strike:




The Hermes strike force is amassing for the final assault on a Kilrathi battlegroup:

Hi WCS Team.

Anything news?Relase dates or pictures.

[Starman01]

O.K, I think it is about time posting a few more screenshots, so I thought I show you people our newest addition.

I don't know about you, but I always enjoyed flying inside the WC3-hangars (allied and enemy) and shoot at the stuff parked in
there (also I liked the realism of having stuff parked there). So guess what, now WCS has hangar-stuff to blow up too
(Last one is a render, but it doesn't look much different ingame)

Enjoy:

[Ypoknons]

Cool truck. Can we blow it up?

[Starman01]

Every object in the hangar is destroyable

[Primus]

Awesome! Truly awesome.

Hi people,

I always loved WC games (actually i only played WC IV and WCProphecy Gold).  but those were enough for me to like the WC Universe. Though i found the film a little bit dissappointing. Anyway, I always thought that much capital ships and large battle groups would make WC a greater game above all space sims. And I'm glad to see now that, you guys in WC Saga team have achived that. I hope you people keep up the good work.

Question: So we'll be launching from hangars?

Yep, and land after mission-completion (most times) too

[Paragon]

I want to see more screenies...I've never played WC, of any sort, so I'm not sure what the ships look like, but most of the stuff here is pretty cool.  Some of the models look phenomonal...others don't...
 
Now, I can't do what you guys do, making the models and everything, but I was curious as to whether anyone was thinking of redoing them, because compared to some of the other models I've seen on HLP...

Those weapon effects are really really really cool though.  I just wish more of the pictures worked...for some reason I can't see many of them.

[Starman01]

Sorry for the recent lack of new pictures, but we are currently bugfixing the beta of our prologue or fix interface-stuff, which doesn't create any good screenshots (and the new interface is a suprise, so we can't show it )

But there might be a few screenies in the near future

Note the buzzard intakes and the nameplates:The Ranger-class light carrier is an aging design that was initially designed and constructed in the early 2580s, more then 50 years before the beginning of the Kilrathi War.  They are externally similar in appearance to the mainstay Concordia-class fleet carriers, which share a similar design linage, but a look inside their hulls betray structural breakdown, design complexity, and lack of fighter storage capacity that no refit can ever change.  Ranger-class carriers aren't very well protected, powerful, nor fast.  They are at a serious disadvantage when facing modern opponents such as the Kilrathi's Bhantkara-class. However, due to the recent turn of events during this War, they have no choice but to act as frontline vessels.

Discovering the full capabilities of glowmaps, eh ?

Looking good, very good actually.

The only thing I could point out is that the windows are all very bright and even lit.
Sometimes it looks more realistic if one varies the brightness of the windows slightly, or even add a few dark silhouettes here an there.

I'm still eagerly awaiting the release...

[DaBrain]

Finally new shots.

Looks very good.

I can't wait for fly through this hangar.

[Tolwyn]

I might add, that the Ranger is not fully finished. On the other hand, we wanted to show something new to our fans

[Starman01]

There is still this very small texture-error in the upper engine (3 faces textured faceted). I really hope that the ingame-thruster will cover that. If I have to re-pof it again, I will have to edit around 100 glowpoints (*hint,hint*, I wish I could post a video ) again, because PCS can't import them

But I like the look of this baby now

(Edit) BTW, sorry for the recent lack of updates folks, but Real-life has us all in his grasp, and besides that, bugfixing missions or waiting for important code-changes (another hint ) is not really a good layout for new screenshots.
