In retro news, I’m using my Heavy Thrusters to light a 22-candle cake for Freelancer. Chris Roberts, the mind behind Wing Commander, was behind this fine mix of dynamic economy, faction-driven conflicts, and narrative-driven campaigns.
In the fullness of time, Freelancer has since gone on to directly influence a new gen of space sims with its groundbreaking vast open-world, seamless planetary landings, and an intuitive control scheme. The DNA of this true classic can be seen today in titles like Elite Dangerous and No Man’s Sky, the latter of which you should totally lock orbit with, due to its incredible VR antics.
