It's the farthest thing on my list from Privateer, but I thought I'd mention it because it does at least have a decent backstory and some worldbuilding and storytelling. Very fluid and arcade-feeling, but still quite fun and deep. Everspace is a rogue-like space combat game.

Same flight model as Evochron, so if you want Wing Commander but more sim-style, go with Arvoch Alliance.įreespace 2 with mods is probably the most polished and complete mission-based space combat game out there, as /u/kalnaren suggests.įinally, there is Everspace.

Next to Evochron is Arvoch Alliance, which runs on roughly the same engine but is more of a mission-based space combat game in the style of the main Wing Commander series or Freespace 2. The developer focused his attention on the flight model, so the Evochron flight model is hands down the very best space sim flight model that has ever been created.

(And as with the X series, there is a fantastic mod for Evochron Legacy that makes it look gorgeous.) The Evochron universe is 'quieter' (not as many NPCs out in the black), but it's a solid game. Similar to the X series is the Evochron series, the most recent being Evochron Legacy.

However, the devs are killing it right now and the game is already up to version 1.32 and they expect to get up to 2.0 by the end of February. As of right now, X4: Foundations still has a number of bugs that make it seem more like a late Early Access game. The current pinnacle of the X series is X3: Albion Prelude (and the pinnacle of that game is the Litcube's Universe mod, which is a total conversion that makes X3:AP better and more engaging). The X series focuses more on the game economy, and you can build fleets and stations and trade networks, and take on other factions. Next in line to that will be the X series, of which X4 is the most recent (less than a month post-release). But it's pretty, and very immersive, and if you accept the limitations of what the game offers, it's a lot of fun. If you want storylines and strong player impact on the game universe, you won't find it in Elite at the moment. The problem with Elite right now is that it's very wide but very shallow. The experience closest to Privateer (open world 'sandbox'-like space game with combat) at the moment is going to be Elite Dangerous. Thank you for putting up with my love of the infamous Privateer 2! :( Should I be trying X3? Freespace 2? X4? Or even something more obscure? I was looking forward to SC, but I'm going to put that mess out of my mind until it's really playable. I really loved WC: Saga, but it doesn't offer the freedom of Privateer. I enjoyed Vega Strike, but it's a bitch to run on machines younger than 2 or 3 years now. So, I know there are some newer space sims around than Privateer 2. This is also something that I think WC: Saga does well. Additionally, I adore the dark jagged art style. In general, I just love the dark and gritty feel of the game, and I find it very immersive.
