    Publicizing A Plethora Of Privateer 3 Pictures (January 23, 2006)

    I can't recall if this was the same version or not, but I know that at one point we'd brought Tracey Hickman (from the Dragonlance novels) in to help work on a Privateer version - P3 or Privateer Online I can't recall, but I think he was on site for a few weeks at least working with us.

    New 'Murphy' Class Destroyers (October 21, 2005)

    I seem to recall that when I designed it I did in fact intend for them to be torpedo tubes, very much inspired by the nose-flanking tubes on a submarine.
