While AWAAP development is still paused, hope is at hands: "Bandits, coming in at eight o'clock high...break, break, break,........Gold Wing take those fighters, Natley and McArthur with me, we're going after the bombers....I'm going in on the leader.........got him! his starboard engine's burning up.....follow my lead men, tally ho!" ".......Damn it Gold Wing keep those fighters off us, I'm being torn to pieces......primary fuel lines been hit.....Jesus, keep them off me you bastards....those last two bombers aren't going to shoot themselves down....good God they've got the Bristol, her tanks have blown, she's going down!" A Wing And A Prayer is a total conversion for the Homeworld 2 engine, moving the action from space combat to early twentieth century aerial battles between a variety of fictional aircraft and airships, ranging from scout fighters up to ironclad super Zeppelins.

I'm all too aware of the hefty gaps between AWAAP news posts, and given that I'll be leaving the country for a month this Monday that problem is likely to get worse before it gets better. The good news is though that work continues, currently in the form of redesigning the strike craft for the German and British sides.

Having created a small cohesive Pirate side I decided that other two factions lacked defining traits, they were more of a random mixture of aircraft than a cohesive 'race' that could be quickly identified by shape rather than by colour. This redesign is intended to address that problem, and I present to you the first of the new German craft (from left to right; Fighter, Fighter-Bomber, Heavy Fighter, Rocket Interceptor)

German Fighter and Fighter-Bomber German Heavy Fighter and Interceptor

The Fighter and Fighter-Bomber are based on real world aircraft, (the Fokker Dr.1 and Albatros Dva). For that reason they stand out the most amongst the German aircraft. The majority of other German aircraft are going to be in a delta wing formation (with the wings at the back of the craft and horizontal stabilisers at the front), have rounded tail fins and sport a number of other unique characteristics.

In other news interest in the mod continues to stagger me, especially given the limited amount of activity over the past few months, I’d just like to extend my thanks to everyone who’s demonstrated interest or contributed ideas or advice.

I'm afraid I have no intention of recruiting a team untill all conceptual work is completed and I can dedicate my attention to managing the project, rather than trying to fufill both roles at the same time. Untill then you'll have to make do with the occasional render by contributors.
