…It's time for a new poll, and today we're asking about the special Kilrathi fighters of Wing Commander 3. Wing Commander 2 expanded on the light/medium/heavy fighter concept with the introduction of Confederation bombers, but WC3 dramatically increased the scope and scale of the Kilrathi fighter fleet. In addition to the return of the Strakha stealth fighter and Bloodfang superheavy, the Paktahn bomber is added to compete with the Confed Longbow. There are also three unique specialty designs: the ominous Sorthak "fighter killer," the K'ha'haf asteroid camouflage design and a nifty atmospheric craft, the Ekapshi. We don't see a lot of these ships, but their existence goes a long way to fill out the world and drive home the point that we're just seeing a glimpse of vast complex universe. Which one of WC3's speciality fighters was your favorite?
The old poll was there to gauge people's take on 2026.
