	As the series went on, though, cockpits earned their detractors: they covered much of the screen space, letting you see less of the action. They took up a lot of memory to load and they required a truly exception artist to get just right. Starting with Wing Commander Armada in 1994, cockpits became optional. When Wing Commander IV shipped in 1996 it included no cockpit art whatsoever. As went Wing Commander, so went the clones: games like Descent: FreeSpace and Tachyon: Beyond the Fringe quickly followed suit and went with ‘invisible cockpits.’		As the series went on, though, cockpits earned their detractors: they covered much of the screen space, letting you see less of the action.
