Privateer
Wing Commander
Privateer
PRODUCT POSITION
Privateer is the next generation space-combat and
trading simulation, using the technology pioneercd by
the Wing Commander series. You will move through an
intensely cinematic universe, experiencing the two very
different thrills of clinching a hard bargain and real-
time, 3D space combat.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
In the far reaches of the frontier lies Gemini Sector,
your new home. Its string of outposts forms the Te~rain
frontier. (iemini has become a breeding ground for
smugglers and pirates, where deals are made with a
handshake and broken be a volley from a Meson
cannon.
Privateer takes you to the seamy side of the Wing
Commander universe. In the Gemini Sector, pirates,
merchants, militia and mercenaries all struggle to make
a quick buck in the shadow of the Kilrathi border. On
this frontier, oppotunity abounds for the resourceful and
the ruthless, and you choose your own path as you
seek to pay off and modify your ship.
It takes keen resource management and crack piloting
skills to succeed. Between fighting off Kilrathi, trying to
avoid bankruptcy and dodging asteroids in the Fariss
Belt, a privateer's days are long, dangerous and full of
adventure.
KEY FEATURES
IBM
* You select your ship and modify it according to
your needs. Choose the sleek Centurion fighter,
the Orion tug, the trustworthy Galaxy-class
merchant or stay with the decrepit Tarsus scout
you inherited from your grandfather.
* Forge your own alliances. You choose whether to
live the life of a plrate, merchant or mercenary.
As long as you make your ship's payments and
keep a step ahead of your enemies! you're a free
agent.
* Includes a complete universe with more than 50
bases and planets in more than 60 systems.
Adventure, trade and exploration are limitless,
even after the main game has been completed.
* Origin's dynamic sound system matches the
changing on-screen action.
* Your enemies want more than a kill stenciled on
their prow - they also want your cargo. The battle
for salvage adds a new dimension to space
combat when you try to tractor in valuables before
pirates can get to them.
