Wing Commander Privateer Player's Guide

Mercenaries’ Guild

As a long-time associate of this proud organization, I can personally speak for their integrity and usefulness. For a reasonable membership fee, pilots are able to take a variety of jobs cleared by the Guild. This means no missions are illegal and payment is guaranteed. They also guarantee their clients that all guildmen are registered and can therefore be tracked and penalized for indiscretions. Any one individual may not have more than three missions accepted at any one time in order to prevent racketeering or simply over-committing out of ambition. All members have access to mission listings at any Guild office and are paid as soon as mission requirements are fulfilled. Reporting to an office is not necessary. The Mercenaries’ Guild is an honorable society and does not allow maintenance of offices on pirate bases

Privateer Playtesters' Guide

Mercenaries' Guild. The Mercenaries' Guild requires an initial fee of 5000 credits. Once you have joined, however, the guild guarantees payment on the missions you obtain through their computer. Assignments available through the Mercenaries' Guild computers are generally combat missions. They are also very challenging and higher paying than assignments offered through the general mission computer.

Missions Offered. Attack, bounty hunting, defend base, patrol, scout.

Behind the Scenes

A pre-release screenshot from an earlier build of Wing Commander Privateer shows an earlier version of the office and receptionist.

The greyscale image of the Mercenaries' Guild computer in the Wing Commander Privateer Player's Guide shows an earlier build where mission rewards were preceded by a plus.

Early concept art plans plans for the Mercenaries' Guild and the Merchant's Guild to use the same office with an interchangeable logo graphic.

The receptionist was drawn by artist Brian Smith and based on his sister.
