From the Priv2 FAQ at the OSI site on EA:
Does Privateer 2: The Darkening take place in the Wing Commander Universe?
Privateer 2: The Darkening takes place in an isolated section of the Wing Commander universe. The Tri-System is not currently a part of the Confederation.
This is pretty weak...
Seeing that both of these games are made by Chris Roberts and in a sense are heirs to WC and Privateer will this site support them? My first guess would be no. Since it appears that the WC lineage appears to be dead (not counting any online games) it might be a move to consider. Is the WC...
I'm not surprised by that attitude. Usually when I go to some site dedicated to a game and stir things up by asking a blasphemous question they circle the wagons and take on a very defensive stance, as demonstrated by this quote:

Why do I bother? You guys have made up your mind and are unwilling to accept any opposing viewpoint. It's like running into church on Sunday morning and shouting "there is no god!" I'm just wasting my time.
I've been on countless forums and every single one I've been on posts their threads in chronological order. From oldest to newest. Go to www.quake3world.com, their forum has 50 times as many messages and way more posts every day than this one if your method is better why don't they use it, they...
If you read the timeline that's posted on this very site it says that according to Privateer 2 human civilization first appeared on Anhur in 212 B.C. How can humans have appeared on another planet before interstellar flight. It makes no sense. Humans could not have evolved on 2 planets at the...
I knew you were going to say that. How do I know if something is interesting if I don't read it. There have been many times when I've thought that a topic wasn't interesting but I read the thread anyway and it turned out to be good. It seems to me that this has gone beyond the point of being...
But what you describe is only valid if you have followed a thread from the very beginning. If it's a long thread by having the first message at the top at least I can see if the thread is worth following. Go check out www.Quake3world.com and www.xwingalliance.com.
Are you insane? Privateer 2 better than Privateer 1. NO WAY! Privateer 2 isn't even a WC game it takes place in a totally different universe. Privateer 2 sucked, the game engine was good but the game was lame.
When reading several threads I noticed that the messages are in reverse chronological order. If you want to follow the thread you have to start at the bottom and work your way up. That's retarded. UBB is my favorite MB but this setup is stupid. The first message should be at the top and the last...
