I never got to play this but I've heard about it many, many times. Wasn't this an inspiration for Elite: Dangerous? Sure looks similar

More the other way round.
Elite Dangerous is based on the old Elite, look at my ealier post:

Privateer was inspired by that 80s Elite - as many other games, too.
But Privateer 1 was the best of them all. I so which they would made a modern version. But joystick games are dead in the big market.
Ah yep, thanks for illuminating me :)
