Try the Privateer 'remake':

I've wanted to but it's a rather large download and I'm still on dialup. Broadband users should be able to get it without much trouble, though.

Thank you Baron. Thank you so very much. I've been yearing to play Privateer again for a very long time, but haven't been able to on account of it running at an inhumanely fast speed on my PC. Now, not only can I play Privateer again, I can play it with purty graphics as well.

Played Freelancer a bit, but it felt like a console version of Privateer. Dumbed down controls & really rather restricted 'open-endedness'. Now, if someone's gone through the trouble to make a mod that addresses the open-endedness ie: lots more ships/equipment/random missions etc. I might consider popping it back on the HD. If not, I'll stick with my Privateer remake.
