After you talk to the informant - he tells you to go to the Valhella system, unfortunatly the valhella system is not on the map (infact 17-AR, Talar, J900 and valhalla are not shown). Fortunatly from New Caledonia allows you to see 17-AR, and if you jump the rest of the systems become visable on the map. The problem is if you dont have another map apart from the one in the game - you are stuck :p

Another thing I found (though I did not complete RF in the origninal - so It may be how its supposed to be). You go to eden, and land on the temple. The guy gives you the clue about the moon, so setting out you expect to have to go to the moon to a secret jump gate - but there is none. After flying towards the sun/moon there (the radar shows somthing there infront of you) for 30 mins (leaving it to have a coffee in the meanwhile) I gave up and headed to the jump point of Valhalla - to find that the retro's were there. Is that right?

Anyway - managed to finish both privateer and RF. The 'hunter' battles are the only ones that seem a bit excessivly hard.

I cant remember being able in the original to go after a capital ship with 17 fighters protecting it, drawing them away (while in a centurion) and then afterburning back to the capital ship and blasting the hell out of it before the defenders bet back :p (a nice way to get 1m credits)

Thanks for the remake - I always wanted to finish privateer.
 
The problem here is that no systems are shown until you visit them or a neighboring system. IIRC when you take regular cargo missions, it displays systems you need to visit that you haven't explored before, but plot missions don't do that.

You would have this problem right from the start of the campaign if you hadn't been to certain systems before ;) Should be rectified in final when you can purchase maps.

In the original you did fly towards a moon (a background sprite lol) and there was a secret jump point there. The remake could stand some tweaking there, you shouldn't have to go to the jump to Valhalla.

Since you found the hunter battles hard, how did you manage to get through them? *curious*

Anyway, quite glad you enjoyed them. Hopefully you can enjoy the open universe a bit still, and certainly give the final version a try, there will be some .. well I can't say :D
 
Yay another superstar has made it through the RF release...well we have to give you a reason to download 1.0

but I assure you there will be...somehow :-)

I had a centurion - fully kitted out, so afterburner - till way out of the way, attacking till your shields are half way down, turn tail and run with afterburner, rinse and repeat. (if you wait too long for your shields to go down more - you just take too much damage - even if that means that you dont do any serious damage to the other ships). I think I remember a battle took an hour or so - luckely at the beginning, they manage to damage each other with crossfire. Thats on normal difficulty. On easy its still anoying just with the amount of crossfire - but its quite doable.
 
now that missiles deal the appropriate ammt of damage wrt armor in 1.0 (developers only so far) it's a lot more reasonable to pass such missions

I had a hell of a time mapping the Easter Egg stuff, because of this.. 1.0 definitely needs a way to buy maps or something.

Also, the RF missions are screwy. Tayla's 2nd mission's mission computer doesn't register when you beat the mission even though Tayla knows you did. Fixed, I heard.

But in Perry, the Goodin missions are all wrong; she says what Terrell said at the end of Privateer, but the inflight computer is okay.

Also, wasn't there a way for mobster Lynch to clear your record for free as a favor for killing Menesch?

Regarding killing hunters, esp. in the original Oxford missions: I got bogged down like 10 straight times, with or without wingmen, with a fully-plasma'ed out Centurion (Tachyon just wasn't cutting it against spry Demons, even with autotracking). So in a flash of inspiration, I accepted a Pirate bounty on a capship with 19 escorts. I went there first, afterburned and then autopiloted to the Demon flock, then kept afterburning through the fray until my shields were down. At that point, I hightailed it to a safer vantage point and picked off a few ships that tailed me. Many of the ships weren't tailing me, because they hit each other with stray shots in the confusion and now they hated each other.

Regarding earning money, what's easier than anything else is a Rescue mission, esp. if you have Cloaking. Zip in, suck in, cloak out. Insta-millions. Killing escorted capships is also very profitable, but it takes longer in real time. I remember in the course of about half an hour, with some reloading to get Rescue missions to show up on the mission computer, I made several million, enough to buy the freaking million-dollar Fusion cannons...
Plus when you go against enough ships, energy for weapons isn't a big concern because your shields get chewed up so quickly anyway. And quite frankly, I like the chilling sound of Plasma guns more than the soft sounds of Tachyon/Fusion.

Moral of the story: edit the cost of a fusion gun, or else make do with Plasma or Tachyon
 
Good tips!

BTW you can find the Lynch missions (I think they only work if you go to him BEFORE you kill menesch) at "Gemini/Pyrenees","Basque"
 
Oops what I meant was million-CREDIT gun.

Also I meant the Palan missions not the Oxford ones, which weren't fun but at least they weren't firing at you, so I just down-shielded and plasma'ed them to death.
 
Totally...that was a charm to play with...too bad it had to go...
but I think you'll find 4 fusions to be a-plenty :-)
