Recently ATFW (now at the flashy new atfw.net url) asked, "Which multi-player only space sim are you looking most forward to?" The unnannounced Privateer Online took nearly half the votes. Microsoft's upcoming Allegiance, currently in open beta, came in second with about half that many. You can find the exact results at ATFW. The next poll asks which untapped scifi series would best make new space sim games.
Another fan project here.. this one's for Homeworld. I'll let them describe it.
The format info for homeworlds models is released, and 3ds, lightwave, asc info is all readily available. A converter would be a simple thing to be made by someone who knows what to do with it, 2 nights work probably. That person which knows what to do is what we're missing. Any helpers?Also, any donated Wing Commander related 3d models would give us a jump start. So far I've made a Dralthi, but it's not much. Originally It was for the airquake2 mod for quake2. But I won't waste it if I have it. We could shave off weeks to get to the same point if some people felt like helping us out. Any help will be credited and VERY appreciated.
Basically, we're out to bring Wing Commander into the strategy game universe, and we want to make it as good as possible. So we're not overlooking any chances to make things sooner and better. We've got a lot of work to do, and we'd like to get a working version out as soon as we can.
