…The Wing Commander movie club has kicked off October right with a spooky horror movie: the 1968 classic Rosemary's Baby. We found it to be a stunningly well made movie full of visual texture and nuance. The story is maybe more relevant than ever again, an allegory about society's belief in its right to control women. Now: the Wing Commander connection here was always slight, so we're going to lean right into it and try and collect everything we know about the character named after Rosemary's Baby's controversial director Roman Polanski.
In the 27th century, Lt. Adam "Bishop" Polanski is one of the veteran wingmen aboard the Tiger Claw in the Wing Commander movie. He was played by veteran British actor Mark Powley, best known for a long running role on television's The Bill. He is a Rapier pilot and flies ship number 35.

…Verman has been experimenting with some technology to bring some of Feng Zhu's unused Privateer Online concept ships to life! They write:
It's been a long time since I contributed anything to the news, I still visit the site often and have quite a few projects for Wing Commander going on at the moment (along with a million other projects too). Well I decided to do some tinkering with 2D image to 3D Modelling AI, using a site called Meshy. I always loved one of the ship concepts for Wing Commander Online so I thought I would test out how good the AI was just using that concept art to produce a 3D model and also the textures from the artwork. I attached some screenshots.
I also made it freely available on Sketchfab so people can download it and make it better or use it in any projects or just study it...
I have also done a couple of the other models but I haven't had time to get them uploaded to

Display MoreUlimann644 is back with maybe the most recognizable Wing Commander ship of all time: the original Dralthi medium fighter! You may recall that they've previously rendered excellent Fralthi and Hornet models… and the fleet keeps expanding!

AD made a pretty neat discovery the other day: a Spanish language radio program called "Space Wars" aired an hour-long look at the music of Wing Commander on September 3 on radio station Querétaro 100.3 FM. The broadcast include samples of lots of music and even one of Jazz's piano pieces played on a real piano! AD recorded a copy which you can listen to below.
We would also like to thank uu from Discord for
