so i recently discovered the video game privateer and i am somewhat addicted.
what happened was that i found vega strike (which comes with my distribution of ubuntu); vega strike is a remake of privateer, but it's not complete yet, so many of the features don't work. i was disappointed because there was a lot of awesome features to vega strike. so when i found out that it was a remake, i went looking for the original and found that privateer was an abandonware game and was available for download and compatible with my distribution of ubuntu. so i downloaded it.
the premise is that you get your own spaceship. that's it. you can do anything you want with it. you can be a trader and trade goods all over the galaxy, you can be a pirate and shoot down merchants and steal their wares, you can be a mercenary and fight against pirates or enemy marauders, or you can be a bounty hunter and search for rogues and pirates or you can be all four at once. as you make money, you can upgrade your ship or trade it in for a different one. so it's pretty addictive.
so if i haven't been posting much lately, it's probably because i've been playing privateer. you can find the download at http://priv.solsector.net/ :)
