Choicest VGM - VGM #183 - Wing Commander: Privateer - Combat I

Soundtrack composed by: Laura Barratt, Marc Schaefgen and Nenad Vugrinec

And now we get to hear one of the combat tracks that features in Wing Commander: Privateer. This one sounds particular menacing and suspenseful at parts, so it works especially well when you're counting the seconds before a missile impact (and hoping you can somehow evade it). Another thing I fondly remember about Privateer during combat is the lack of variation when it came to the insults. Usually the enemy would taunt you during combat but they'd only have maybe three insults they'd ever utter. Not only that but all the pirates, for example, have the same lines. Consequently, if you're fighting a wing of pirates this is what it would sound like:

Pirate 1: "You're about to suck void buddy!"
(5 seconds later)
Pirate 2: "You're about to suck void buddy!"
(5 seconds later)
Pirate 3: "You're about to suck void buddy!"
(5 seconds later)
Pirate 1: "You're about to suck void buddy!"

and so on and so forth. No wonder the protagonist wanted to get rid of those pirates so quickly in the intro...

Thanks to C75 and WCNEWS for providing these memorable tracks.
