    3rd Oxford Mission

    How many demons do you face? I never faced more than 6 - i think it was 3,2,1 as well as a couple of dralthis mucking things up for everyone - but dralthis are way easier to kill than demons =)

    weapon problem

    cloak...it's all about the cloak. Close in to about 1000 m on cloak on the rear of a talon, decloak, let it rip - one salvo should be enough to destroy a talon, and cloak and afterburn away before its buddies can respond. It takes a little finesse to get the timing right because the cloak...

    3rd Oxford Mission

    Ditto about the demon. I think it's 2x2 gun layout is better than the Cent's 4x1. Your fire is much more concentrated and therefore does way more damage. It's odd that autotracking is not working. What scanner are you using? I've found that autotracking works so much better with the BS Omni...

    Questions getting started

    Hi all, I've played through the remake and decided to give WCU a try. After installing and playing the game for a couple of hours, I have some questions. 1) I started out in the same base as in Priv but with a different ship - the Hornet. Is that supposed to happen? What happened to...

    Privateer Remake 1.0 - Bugs

    RF missions: not sure if it's supposed to be that way but I encountered only one or two dralthis on Goodin's patrol sweeps. Ship appears in random places in the ship dealer screen. sometimes normal, sometimes on the way left. Sound effects sometimes cut out during speech in fights - in...

    Cap ships

    Did the RF mission last night and saw the paradigm in action vs a dralthi. That ship looked really impressive, laying down a huge field of fire from its turrets that took out the dralthi really easily. I didn't try attacking the paradigm, but it looked like it would be a tougher challenge than...

    Protect the Paradigm? How?

    Maybe a maxed out demon, with the second level of engine enhancements. The enhancements make the demon faster than a stock stiletto. I assume you have autotracking as well. If not, definitely buy them.

    Cap ships

    Is something broken about how cap ships work in the game? I took out a kamekh in a dinky stiletto with 2 tachyons and no missiles. Basically I parked 500m or so off the nose of the ship and held down the trigger for five minutes before it blew. I took maybe one hit. It seemed like the ship...

    Bolt speeds

    try getting a cloak. It makes the game really easy, even those 20 ship bounty missions. Just line up behind a ship, decloak, rip into your prey, and then cloak before anyone else can respond. Rinse, wash, repeat. Yeah, escort missions suck.

    Demon Or Centurion ?

    "I think the Demon should be limited to shield 2 and engine 2 in the next release." -or limit the weapon mounts to light weapons. I mean, 4 tachyons on a light fighter? Every other light fighter in the game has either lasers or mass drivers.

    Palan missions problems

    Agree, the demon is the best ship in the game. I just finished the original campaign in a fully kitted out demon. Once I got a joystick, the oxford missions weren't too bad and the palan missions were pretty straightforward. I think I died only once for all the palan missions. Also, the...

    Demon Or Centurion ?

    or a demon with tachyons and boosted steltek, with autotrack mounts. Talons simply evaporate. Plus you have the speed to escape anything.

    Speedy bug

    Hi everyone, I've been having a blast playing this game! I got stuck one the drone mission in the original and never finished the game. Not this time though... =) One problem though. I fired up the game today and noticed that suddenly objects seemed much much faster. I don't know what...

    Which Capital Ships can be bought?

    saw a kamekh for $80 million i think.

    Asteroid Belts

    First of all, great remake! Brings back lots of fond memories. Second, I remember a trick from the original privateer where I could fly through an asteroid belt on full burners and not get hit by yanking up and down on the joystick. Doesn't quite work anymore though =(
