Steltek It Away, Boys (January 22, 2007)

Bandit LOAF

Long Live the Confederation!
Here's one for the history books. The original Privateer features a spectacular opening cinematic... but the ending, in which the Steltek Drone tows away the Delta Prime derelict, has left many players underwhelmed. There's a good reason: a longer cutscene was removed to save memory, as the game initially shipped on 3.5" diskettes. It's unknown whether or not the original scene was ever animated, but the subtitles do appear hidden within the finished version of the game... and here they are!
BROWNHAIR: Rest in pieces, you bastard.

Meanwhile...sector Delta Prime.
Aboard the Steltek Scout, an officer notifies his captain of the drone's destruction.

OFFICER: Vessel recovered. Drone no longer.
CAPTAIN: To be good. However, weapons still in alien control. Wise?
OFFICER: No. Choice none. Damage acceptable. How much can single Privateer do?

Thats cool, but is that all they wrote?

I never realized that the scout had a crew, besides a pilot

It sure would have been cool to see what a steltek looked like
