Some people are making a Privateer type game set in the WC1 timeline. It's called Pioneer. It's a ways off from being released, but the models for the Begal Class carrier are fantastic

Wow! That looks great! I always had fond memories of Wing Commander (especially I - IV) but never got to play Privateer.

I loved Wing Commander.

Eat sh*t and Die Gato.

loved it.

There was nothing finer than the universe Chris Roberts created. I'm still holding out hope for a true return to the series.

Wing Commander 1 was great. I loved all the different wingmen you got.

Privateer Gemini Gold is a remake of it using a fan made engine and runs directly in windows and has the righteous fire expansion
