I often wonder what's happened to them. I've tried some of the open source stuff but it really takes them a long time to get things working really nicely when it comes to open source. Nothing beats the epic nature of Wing Commander III and IV, as well as the Privateer games. I still have tons of fond memories about them.

It's an old game which I'd love see revisited as an MMO. In an ideal world the content of HW1 and HW2 would be assimilated into Eve Online.

The graphics as you said just seem sub par now but the gameplay for space based RTS is the best Ive ever seen. Just dont try Homeworld 2 as I really could not get into it.

Same with Homeworld. And it's never the same to go back, the graphics and gamplay just doesn't seem as good.
