&gt; I am searching high and low for a space-based trading game, similar to
&gt; Privateer, an offshoot of the Wing Commander series of games.
&gt; 
&gt; Basically, the type of things I am looking for is a a space system, with
&gt; various planets/outposts/whatever within that system where you can
&gt; purchase a ship (small at first) and do cargo runs between planets, or
&gt; mercenary type work, etc. Buy commodity X on PlanetA for 40, sell it on
&gt; PlanetB for 70, make a profit, earn money to upgrade your ship systems or
&gt; buy new ships, etc.

I know its _not_ exactly what you're looking for, but check out
Starlane:

<A  HREF="http://ciips.ee.uwa.edu.au/~joel/starlane/">http://ciips.ee.uwa.edu.au/~joel/starlane/</A>

and the my current test game:

<A  HREF="http://ciips.ee.uwa.edu.au/~joel/starlane/Arcturus/">http://ciips.ee.uwa.edu.au/~joel/starlane/Arcturus/</A>

Its not a space-trading game, its more an empire-building game, but
there
is a strong commerce element since players buy and sell units amongst
themselves.  The news entries will give you a flavor of the game; most
of
the interesting negotiations and deals happen via email.

Cheers,

Joel Kelso
