Wing Commander Privateer Player's Guide

Paradigm

The Paradigm is one of the Confederations most advanced destroyers. Featuring almost impregnable armor and shields, it more than compensates for its lack of speed and maneuverability. The Paradigm also has a deadly array of weapons at its disposal, making an attack of any sort extremely dangerous. It carries an astonishing variety of blasters, ranging from meson blasters to ionic pulse cannon. Multiple missiles can deter even the most aggressive Kilrathi aces.

Origin FX Owner's Manual

T.C.S. PARADIGM

In the year 2663, the Terran Confederation has spread throughout the galaxy, and the Paradigm is the pride of their capital fleet. Welcome to the edge of the Wing Commander and Privateer universe, where this ship is an important element in the Confederation’s tenuous hold on the evil Kilrathi Empire. (Privateer is a space com- bat simulator and resource management game set in the Wing Commander realm.)

You select the speed and class of the Terran Confederation Ship Paradigm as it seeks out and destroys pirate strongholds.

Appearances

Behind the Screens

The Paradigm was designed for Wing Commander Privateer but it was first seen in Origin FX.

There is some debate over the intended class of the Paradigm:

  • Origin FX says that users can choose the class of the Paradigm using a 'ship size' selector that gives eight different options.
  • It is referred to as a destroyer in behind the screens art lists from Wing Commander Privateer.
  • Privateer's internal files refer to the ship as FRIGATE.
  • The Privateer manual classifies it as "capital ship" but then refers to it as a destroyer in the description. The manual also refers to the Kamekh as a destroyer.
