#DOSBOX WING COMMANDER PRIVATEER FULL#
The game made the transition from animated cut-scenes to full motion video, one of the first computer games to do so it was frequently marketed as the world's first interactive movie. The new, blockier forms were made necessary by the then-primitive state of polygon graphics, as WC3 was released a few years before the first true 3D video cards and all 3D effects had to be calculated by the CPU. Terran craft were redesigned from "planes in space", while Kilrathi craft were totally redesigned into asymmetrical ships with prongs, barbs and cutting-tool-esque surfaces. The ancient alien artifact is the main plot device in Privateer and players will find numerous factions willing to either kill you or ally themselves with you in order to get close to it.WC3 featured an entirely new line of ships and fighters, abandoning the technology of Wing Commander and Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi.
If his mission is accepted, the players will keep the artifact in their possession and learn more about it as they progress through the game and fly missions for the game's various fixers. As collateral he offers you a mysterious object which he claims is an ancient alien artifact. Sandoval wishes to hire you for a simple cargo run delivering iron to a refinery base. There in the bar of New Detroit, players will find a fixer named Sandoval. When players are ready to begin the storyline missions, they must first go to the New Detroit base. When flying from one location to another, Confed and Militia patrols may scan your cargo hold for contraband. These commodities range from agricultural goods to textiles to weaponry to electronics and even to illegal drugs and slaves.
Not all bases have both Guilds, some have either, and some even have none.Īdditionally to earning credits, players can also buy commodities from one base and sell them to another. There is also a Merchant's and Mercenary's Guild in which the player pays a membership fee and is able to sign up for higher paying missions.
The miscellaneous missions can be obtained from a mission computer located on any bases. The different types of missions available are: patrol, attack, cargo, and bounty. Players earn credits by completing various types of missions as well. The story missions can be taken on whenever the player wishes to. The game has a huge sandbox style, allowing the player to go wherever he/she chooses. On these -planets players can take on various missions that can be obtained from mission computers and interacting with people. The main gameplay is made up of space combat and flying, traversing the universe grouped into star systems and landing on planets and bases. Players can choose to become a pirate, a merchant, a mercenary or a combination of the three. Some of them will always attack the player on sight, others will only attack if the player has choosen to become their enemy.
The game is set in the Wing Commander universe and it contains seven factions: Merchants, Bounty hunters, Retros (religious group), Pirates, Militia, the Terran Confederation and the Kilrathi.
