any games similar to starlancer?

[Slapshot136]

Starlancer was one of my favorite games, and I haven't been able to find any games that would be of a similar type, can anyone recommend me a game that would be similar to it (but newer/with less bugs)?

this is mostly for people who have played starlancer, but basically any good "space-based science fiction flight simulator computer game" as Wikipedia puts it

there arent any expansions or w/e as far as i know of, but I was wondering if there are any games based off of it?

I don't remember which is the newest, but I always liked the game "Freelancer"
and there is also a lot of mods available for it to turn it into almost any sci-fi game you want:thup:

I think you can download all the Wing Commander games for free now.

If you are talking about the copyright going obsolete, then sadly no
I recall it to be 25years for that to happen

I dont mean there license went out. I was looking at a bunch of list of Freeware games, official lists where games are actually freeware not expired license and the wing commander games were on it.

Found it, Privateer Gemini Gold

The official site is down for it but its a freeware remake of the Privateer game - very old school.

ty, i was kinda looking for something that wasn't trading-based, because the part i liked the most from starlancer was that you acually had missions that weren't too dull and actually had allies that did stuff (not to mention multiplayer lan)
