VR, again, makes this a more fun/realistic experience. The Xwing games were a little better in that they made the AI more prone to doing 'cinematically stupid things' like flying over big capital ships so you could line them up and strafe them, they let you attack the larger lumbering ships and see things explode.but then we went to multiplayer in the age of the higher-speed-modems, and it went right back to being nothing but big "how tight of a radius can I turn and stay on this things tail" gameplay in those highly-regarded-but-repetitive-as-f Xwing vs Tie Fighter games. VR at least makes that repetitive concept.nauseating, so its like a ride You were just endlessly circling in space trying to get on the ass-end of your opponent. It's what killed off most of the early space games.the whole concept of space combat got repetitive.to a certain extent its why you saw a demise in flight sims as well in the 90's into the 00's.

Wing Commander.was it Privateer? That one that was like a Spiritual Successor to the first ELITE game (C64.whos with me!?!?) was fun because you could upgrade your ship, haul cargo and so forth, make more of a game of it, but by then the series was losing steam because every Wing Commander game can be summed up this way: Jousting in Space.
