I didnt play the Priv addon, so let me ask this
the retros stole the steltek gun. they used it to copy it, right? did they manage that?
and did Grayson Burrows recover the gun in the end?

Yes, yes and no - but not in that order.

(Okay, yes, in that order. The Retros stole the gun and copied it. You track them down and blast the bejesus out of them... but you never get your gun back.)
 
Unless you hexedit and go around the problem . . but, then again, it's not the same as swiping your gun back from Brother Jones.
 
After the advent of the fusion cannons I kinda stopped caring but the game didn't seem to give it up. Like I said in an earlier thread, four fusions on a Centurion pretty much cleans up. Two direct hits on an talon and its toast. You can take down an orion or even a kilrathi corvette with only a few good hits.
 
I tend to agree that the Steltek gun wasn't so powerful to be more than a novelty. Four fussion cannons on the business end of my Centurion was enough to take down any pirate, hunter, retro, merchant, kilrathi, militia or confed, so I didn't have any worries except for those damned asteroids. I'd forget about those things and lose most of my ship in one skull-splitting PLANG.
 
fusion cannon is the development of the steltek gun or just a new gun you can buy (better than the plasma cannon, it seems)?
 
Well, when the Church of Man copied the Steltek gun, they appeared in the form of Fusion Guns on their Salthis. But then they went on sale in normal shops too at the same time.
 
There are two loadouts for the Salthi - you don't meet the ones with the Steltek guns until the very last mission.
 
This is another good URL for Salthi background (G) What's more, the internal filename for the ship in Privateer is Salthi.iff... and it follows the Kilrathi pattern of that era, with a huge number of surplus Salthi being assigned a whole range of roles (torpedo bomber in Voices of War, Hrakthi-class conversion in False Colors, etc.).

The Salthi torpedo bomber is the Kilrathi response to the dreaded Epee torpedo bomber.

Too bad the cat's intel didn't know it was dreaded mostly by terran pilots.
 
Dreaded by its own pilots!
It's surelly a Salthi, there are no doubts about it. Looks heavier, but looks cool.
If I only could play Priv and RF in my computer... =(
