I don't know about where you are, but here, the weather has shifted and it most definitely feels like fall. In order to help cure some of that seasonal depression, GOG has arrived with its autumn sale. This means the Wing Commander series is 50% off across the board. Fill out your digital collection from the links below!

The long-teased Creative Labs Sound Blaster Re:Imagine Kickstarter has launched (and already met its goal)! So what the heck is this thing? it's a physical 'hub' that you can reconfigure with different components including switches, sliders, dials and a tiny screen. It runs Linux and can operate apps like the SoundBlaster parrot and a DOS emulator without needing to connect to your PC. They say:
Re:Imagine is a modular audio hub that brings all your audio devices together in one place. Switch connections instantly across any input, and any output.
Customize your setup with programmable modular controls. Enjoy high resolution audio playback via a powerful DAC and amp. And you have superuser access to hardware, to create and run your own apps on it.
More than a sound card, it is your hub, your control deck, and your creative playground.There are plenty of additional details on the pledge page and a

…Brewer Corporation has confirmed the success of its recent campaign to acquire construction materials, with independent pilots delivering vast quantities of resources to meet its clients' order.
CEO Madelyn Teague released a statement from Brewer's Minerva headquarters:
"Our sincere thanks go to the many pilots who supported this campaign. The required stocks have been secured in record time, enabling us to meet the terms of this urgent order."
Independent observers believe that the concentration of megaship traffic and the secrecy surrounding the order, together with the reported direct messages to pilots pledged to one of the twelve Powers, are strong indicators of an intention to rapidly construct a science and security enclave around HIP 87621.
Analysts have concluded that given the sheer scale of Brewer Corporation's logistical operations deployed for this project, the enclave could be

…We've been working on a more expansive atlas of the Wing Commander universe and part of that involves finding all the space stations we've seen throughout the series. I recently went through Wing Commanders Prophecy and Secret Ops and thought I'd share some of my notes here! Here are all the bases we see in the game, plus an extra screenshot of the high poly model if they appear in a cutscene.

Ella Starbase
Class: Ella-type
Location: Ella System
Visited by the Cerberus crew in the Ella series. Behind the scenes material refers to it as 'new Ella' indicating it may be distinct from the Ella superbase from Wing Commander IV. The base type has eight targetable bridges, four on top and four on the bottom.
Wing Commander Prophecy includes two different in-engine base meshes: the more familiar relay station and a unique TCS Callisto variant seen only in the game's losing path. Callisto has a

We have traveled to the bottom of the sea and released the Sphere sphere! Sphere wasn't a classic but it was interesting enough… and you could certainly see the Wing Commander movie intro in its opening titles. For Halloween, we've voted to dress up as astronauts… and watch The Right Stuff (1983), a true classic. You can join us this Friday via Discord to watch along. Please note that the movie will begin one hour early (at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific) to accommodate the run time.
Our Wing Commander connection for this one is a cutscene from Wing Commander Prophecy. Prophecy selects a landing cutscene where Rachel reacts to your mission depending on your performance. Missions can be immaculate, A, B, C, D or F with F representing a total failure. This is one of the 'A' options where Rachel tells you you've got 'the right stuff'.
So what is the 'right stuff'? It's a term adopted in the 1950s to refer to an
