Released Fan Projects

Wing Commander: Standoff

Standoff is an add-on for Secret Ops, replacing basically all the original content: missions, graphics, sound effects, music, etc. The branching storyline will be based on events from the novel Fleet Action, and the graphics, audio, and gameplay recreate a WC2-like setting.

Wing Commander: Unknown Enemy

An addon for Wing Commander Secret Ops -- featuring new graphics, a new story, music, missions, ships and possibly voice acting. Unknown Enemy -- long the favorite of mod-watchers -- promises to deliver quality missions far beyond the complexity that Origin gave us with Secret Ops with a good fiction system. CIC Fan Project of the Year, 2000. Upon release the game should include 12 all new missions accompanied by complex in game cutscenes.

Flight Commander

Privateer: Ascii Sector

A sixteen color, text-based take on Privateer!

Privateer Remake Gemini Gold

Privateer Remake Gemini Gold is a multi-platform clone of Wing Commander Privateer. It aims to be closer to the original than other remake projects. Windows, Linux and MAC versions are available.

PiArmada

Clone of Wing Commander Armada, using and proving the Pi4x turn-based space strategy engine. Designed to implement all functions of Armada while improving the interface and allowing extensions. Windows XP, MAC and Linux compatible.

Possibly the original fan project, Vega Strike (an all-new space-sim engine) has recently been retooled and remoddeled for both the Windows and Linux crowd.
