Wing Commander Ships

Updated 2026-11-08

This table lists fighters, bombers and capital ships that show up across the games. Speed is in kps where WCPedia prints kps. Shield numbers are copied as printed: a Longbow "500" and a Scimitar "6.0" are not the same unit, and I will not divide one into the other.

How to read a cell

A blank that I rendered as an em dash means the field was empty in the source notes. It is not a zero. Detail pages exist only where search demand and a distinct history both exist: Dralthi, Longbow, Tiger's Claw, Rapier and Scimitar. Everyone else stays a row. 3D-print files are community models. The one checked Longbow STL is linked from that ship's page, not hosted here.

Use the table controls to sort by name, faction, class or game and to filter the rows. WCPedia images are not reused; the pictures on this site are Steam store screenshots of the 2026 editions.

Stats as printed. Shield column is the source number, not a converted centimetre value. Checked 8 Nov 2026.

Questions people ask

Why do some shield numbers look tiny?

Early-game pages print small decimals. Later bombers print hundreds of "cm equivalent". They are different notations. Both stay as printed.

Where are the blueprints?

The 1990 box used fighter overlays as copy protection. The Rapier and Scimitar pages say what survives. This site does not host the scans.

Which ship should I 3D print?

The checked file is the Longbow STL by tmetal on Thingiverse, CC BY-SA, 2.7 inch wingspan.
