For a truly safe passage through space, there are three civilian crafts (remember, you're not with the military in this game) you can buy on the free market: the Orion (described as 'a tank' in the manual), the Galaxy (a large merchant ship) and the Centurion (a medium fighter). Even new guns, cargo space upgrades and such can only take it that far. You're starting the game with a second-hand model which is hardly state-of-art anymore.

What is all that money for? You can buy better ships and upgrade them with new equipment. Speaking of pirates, you're also free to go their way, too – smuggling illegal drugs can be highly profitable, but harbours the risk of running into patrols, of course. These have a wide range: the Merchant Guild might ask you to transport something or escort one of their members while the Mercenary Guild might offer you money for patrolling a sector or killing some pirates. Of course, there are many more goods, and not everything is as obvious as this example. For that, there's a rough scheme of planetary classes: agricultural planets have a cheap surplus of food, which, in turn, is desperately asked for at mining planets. Buy goods on one planet and sell them on another. Instead, Privateer tries to go along the lines of Elite: You can freely fly around and earn money whichever way you want.
In fact, there isn't even the branching, but still fixed scheme of flying mission after mission. This isn't exactly frontier (although one outer edge does go towards Kilrathi space), which means compared to the 'main line' Wing Commander games, everything is a little calmer.
In Privateer, you take over the role of a (choke) privateer based in the Gemini sector of the Wing Commander universe. Also, what should I describe it for – everybody already knows it! Then again, maybe not really everybody. What can I write about such an immensely popular game which hasn't already been said.

Most of those sources have Blair and Maniac graduating before WC1, yet in the academy series they are still 'cadets'. A different account of Maniac and Blair's academy days than was given in Wing Commander Academy game manual, the Kilrathi Saga Manual, and suggested in the Wing Commander 1 & 2 Ultimate Guide, among other sources. But its still not without its problems in continuity errors.įor example contradictory information on who was the captain of the Tiger's Claw during that period. However Star*Soldier places it more or less concurrently with WC1.

Have I forgotten any installment in the story? Thanks! Old post, but I just wanted to comment that Academy tv series actually was originally set in 2655 a year after Wing Commander despite have ideas that would suggest that it's before. Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedomįrom what I've read Wing Commander: Privateer, the Righteous Fire Expansions pack, Privateer II, Wing Commander Academy Game, Wing Commander Arena, Wing Commander Armada and the Wing Commander motion picture don't have anything to do with the main story. Wing Commander II: Vengence of the Kilrathiħ. So far I know that the following things take place (In this order:)Ĥ. I really enjoy it but I realize that its pretty plot driven and I should start from the beginning. BobBlusoe: I've wanted to really get into this series for a while, and have played a couple hours out of a couple of the games.
