I am looking for an old DOS-game, I think late 80's or early 90's.
Top-down perspective. You played as a red guy, and I think you only started out with a knife. I remember that you could collect several different weapons. Finding two of the same weapons upgraded that weapon to a better version, so finding two pistols gave you a handgun, that fired faster and further. And finding a second knife gave you a sword (i think). There was also a flamethrower, a machine gun and a crossbow (I think).
I also remember that one of the first things you did was finding (or building?) a boat to cross a lake, but I have no clue what the story was about.

e: also, while the perspective of the world was top-down, you saw your character from the side. Kind of like the first Zelda.

I don't think so. Unfortunately I can't get enough of a story summary to be sure. But I think there was a plot line where some of your friends switched sides and you could either join them or be forced to fight them. Though again I don't remember if you actually had a choice or not. I don't think I remember flying capital ships though, I'm pretty sure it was fighter based.
Sounds like TIE fighter to me, the Star Destroyer you're on defects from the empire and you're forced to fight your own squadmates.

But that's probably too easy...
