Whilst Origin likely used Wing Commander II as a huge cash cow to subsidize Ultima VII - much to WC2's detriment I distinctly remember a few short years later Origin gave Wing Commander III a lot more resources. At the time (1994) the gaming press declared Wing Commander III the most ambitious and costly game ever made at $4M. Its sequel upped the ante even further with a budget of $12M which made headlines beyond the gaming magazines and actually into the newspapers. Both good games incidentally and well worth a play.
