Nothing like Righteous Fire for Privateer, nope. Though there are pretty large mods with campaign missions (I'll have to test it, but Crossfire seems to have added a large follow-on campaign to the main game's, involving the Starlancer factions coming back or something like that). Otherwise...

Note to self: while Klavs' models are really awesome-looking in some applications, they are really less than optimal for Freelancer, oof. The way he made his Rapier variants is kinda problematic for the in-game rendering. Modding itch satisfied now, I've played a quarter/third of the campaign...

The level-cap for the guns of each area's fighters is definitely a mistake in game design. As a remark, though, the Anubis Order fighter is an endgame fighter, but far from the best there is. You have to look for the Corsairs base to find the best one. For the story, if you guys want some human...

It didn't bother me that much, TBH, considering how really weird these Nomad ships were in the Freeport 7 scene. So what, the powerful aliens are indeed trying to not give a chance to the multistellar polities to prepare themselves or get their shit together, rather taking time to weaken all...

Heh, I found the story pretty good at doing its job of establishing a momentum to carry you all over the universe. My biggest issue with the game would indeed be the linear progress of ships and areas that was combined with a very unequal ship design, meaning that I was forced to choose between...

Warning, a lot of images under the spoiler, screenshots taken during the first mission to show how Freelancer can use the ships made by our best modellers: Long story short, it's just as I dreamed it could be, if not even better. Freelancer is one hell of a game.

Amen to this. And on the matter of progress, it's going pretty quickly: Importing the Hellcat now, and once the Razor and Excalibur are in, the first part of the game will be properly turned in Privateer-lite.

The game is notoriously hard to purchase in a non-physical version as there is no legitimate retailer for it in an online version, Microsoft having pulled it from its store years ago. Such a situation has led to various groups considering it as an Abandonware by now, with the consequences that...

If you manage to get a textured version out, it's definitely going into the Homeworld Remastered mod, probably in the DLC that'll cover the Nephilim War ships (if you'll be OK with it, of course). :-)

I definitely like this Hellcat too! Any idea whether it would be possible for someone to make it into an actual model following this design route? After all, it could make for a pretty interesting take on a hypothetical Nephilim War refit of the old workhorse, à la Arrow.

Blair ended up becoming a lootbox seller on the Nephilim homeworld, destroying their empire from within.

Yes, it wouldn't be too hard indeed, I can confirm that the units do manage to fit really well in such a mindset. :-P And, yes, I'd definitely want to see an AW clone with WC units, glad I'm not the only one who pictured a Dragon/Lance when playing the Stealth Fighter in AC on my DS.

How accessible would the game be to modding, may I ask? You people cannot, for obvious reasons, get Wing Commander ships in the vanilla game, but there are people here sitting on a lot of such ships and who would be eager to tinker with the game and insert them. Hell, TBH, I'd probably spend a...

Can we have Ewok paws too as an Easter Egg? :-P Yub, yub!

Pretty great cockpits, Howard! That made me notice something pretty funny overall: the Wing Commander I cockpits feel a lot more modern than in III and IV, with large screens and small amounts of buttons.

So, I... kinda, sorta... bought myself a wonderful planetarium software that allows the simulation of most of the known universe. It also allows the creation of skyboxes of very, very high resolution. Therefore, this: Oh, and guess what, it came with a professional licence that allows me to...

A late present, but a well-deserved one to make the lot of you rightfully proud:

Tell us when the company gets bought by Protonic Humanities, OK? :)

Love it! I appreciate the hexagonal pattern that calls back to the Typhon stealth carrier too.
