Talk to Sandra Goodin

GOODIN
$NM, I'm Captain Goodin, attache to Admiral Terrell. We've been expecting you.
PLAYER
And yet no cake? I'm crushed.
Excuse my flippancy, but it's not every day I have the honor of being arrested.  
GOODIN
You're not under arrest, $NM. Though we have all the evidence we need.
What does the word smuggler mean to you?
PLAYER
It's an antonym for plausible deniability.
Sorry, Cap. I won't say another word without my lawyer.  
GOODIN
Relax. I'm only here to extend an...invitation.
You'll proceed to Perry Naval Base, where the Admiral will interview you personally.
PLAYER
Regarding...?  
GOODIN
Playing dumb, huh? Have it your way, then.
We've traced a series of disappearing and destroyed ships to your movements.
Looks like wherever you go, disaster follows.
Tell me, $NM, are the Kilrathi paying you to test their secret weapon...
...or do you merely keep the plunder?
PLAYER
I don't know what you're talking about, Cap.  
GOODIN
You'll have plenty of time to think about it... en route to Perry.
PLAYER
And if I don't want to go?  
GOODIN
You don't have to. As I said, you're not under arrest.
But something out there has the hots for you. Something nasty.
And if you really don't know what it is...
...if you're as much in the dark as we are...
...maybe the Navy and $CS can help each other out. How about it?
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
I'll hear the Admiral out, Goodin.
But I don't like sleeping with the military.  
GOODIN
You don't have to kiss us, $NM, just grit your teeth and close your eyes.
PLAYER
Better get a move on. You never know what's out there waiting for you...
PLAYER
Sorry, but working with you military types makes me nervous.
I'd rather tackle a monster than a bureaucracy.  
GOODIN
Red tape or blood, same color either way. No skin off my nose.
I'll be here if you change your mind.

Accepted

Talk to Sandra Goodin

GOODIN
Look, I know you hate cooperating with authority...
...but Admiral Terrell is waiting for you at Perry Naval Base.
Are you heading out, or not?
PLAYER
Yeah, I guess I might as well get it over with...

Accepted

Talk to Sandra Goodin

GOODIN
Really, $NM, you'd be smart to head to Perry Naval Base at max speed.
The Admiral wants your help in destroying that thing, whatever it is...
...and if you've got a brain in your head, you'll cooperate.
Will you meet with him at Perry or not?
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
I'll hear the Admiral out, Goodin.
But I don't like sleeping with the military.  
GOODIN
You don't have to kiss us, $NM, just grit your teeth and close your eyes.
Better get a move on. You never know what's out there waiting for you...
PLAYER
Again, I'd rather deal with a monster than the military.  
GOODIN
Have it your way, $NM.
I'll be here if you change your mind.

In Flight

Talk to Retro

# Couldn't I just say a few
RETRO2
Sinner! Ready thyself for righteous retribution! We know you possess high-level alien devices... ...machines of damnable intent! For adding to the technological burden of mankind... ...the Church of Man condemns you! In the moments left to you...repent!

SANDRA GOODIN - MISSION A

Summary The next time you land at a mining base other than Rygannon, you will be approached by Sandra Goodin, an attaché to Admiral Terrell, who runs the Confederation navy in Gemini from his office at Petty Naval Base. She informs you that everywhere you've recently visited, ships have been destroyed. Something extremely dangerous is following you and the military wants to work with you to stop it. Payment None.
Requirements Go to Admiral Terrell's office at Perry Naval Base.
Opponents Three waves of hostile retro Talons (fanatical pros) at whichever of the following places you go through on your way to Perry Naval Base:

Ragnarok — Nay 2

Nitir — Nav 1

Midgard — Nav 1

Newcastle — Nav 5

New Detroit — Nav 7

Surtur — Nav 3

Tingerhoff — Nav 4

There are five ships in the first wave, three in the second and three in the third.

  • Cheat: If you can't seem to make it to a different mining base, then you will want to turn on INVULNERABILITY and fly to one. You will not be able to kill that drone just yet. Once at a mining base, you will encounter a mission from Sandra Goodin to go to Perry Naval Base. Just afterburn there and avoid fighting. You can fight anything you encounter by using the techniques above. - "Havoc"

Notes

  • The Retros are a little annoyed that you have a shiny Steltek gun. They shouldn't be too difficult to handle, however the green egg may be after you too which makes things a bit more tricky. You are probably better off running to the jump point.
  • Once you arrive at Perry, go talk to Admiral Terrell.

Mission : 1

Comments : It may be useful to turn on invincibility for this mission since there is no payment. That way, you can give those crazy Retros a taste of your new gun without worrying about the drone at your back.

Comments : Useful to cheat? Yes, it is always useful to cheat But if you do that, you have not completed the game. In Privateer, you can cheat in many ways. Getting level 5 engine in a centurion, for instance, money cheat, OR invulnerability cheat. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Comments : How do you get level 5 engines on a Centerion (sp?). I'd like to do that. And what other 'cheats' are there? I'm on my 3rd playing of Privateer and enjoy it more each time. Next time I plan to cheat (like only a dirty, rotten, low-down, pos smuggler would). Ou, yeah!

Mission :

Comments : jt: I don't remember the cheat, it was some debug code in DOS, which made it possible to change ship without changing equipment. So just buy level 5 on an Orion, then use the cheat. Can probably be found with google. One could also cheat oneself info 4 Steltek cannons, and so on.
