I'm having high hopes for both Star Citizen and the indie game Rogue System - the later one is very simulation heavy and could bring back the warm feeling of getting a damaged craft under control, only on steroids this time. None will have the SW licence, but hey - can't have everything, right?

Btw. how come nobody really cashed in on the Battlestar Galactica hype?

I worry that SC is way too ambitious. I never really thought Wing Commander ever delivered on it's hype, and I think SC is more of the same. I look forward to being proven wrong though.

BSG online has a bit of a following, but being browser based I gave it a miss

WC4 is still my favorite spacesim - don't know about the hype beforehand, but for me it was just a very well told and engaging space opera.

WC3 is one of my favorite games of all time. Everything was done so well in that game, for its time.

Not to mention that the cutscenes look much better than the Wing Commander movie ;-)

I still have that game on six CDs somewhere; I wonder whether they're still unscratched enough to be playable ...
