Can't help out on the first issue. I agree that a high end radar is worth more than 10 credits, especially as difficult as tractor recovery is to accomplish. To have the ConFeds love you again, kill lots of Kilrathi, their main enemy. Killing pirates and Retros also helps, but it seems to...

Tractoring is one of the most difficult things to accomplish in the game. The only way I've had success is to target the object to be tractored in the front view (t), match velocity with the object (F9), target with turret (alt-t), overtake object to minimal distance without hitting it by using...

I can get it to work virtually everytime. Last night I was goofing around with this and I was able to get 2 boosted steltek guns for the first time. Talk about fire-power. I took a 20 ship bounty mission and only lost some armor in the early fighting, when every ship was pounding me. If it...

First, make a lot of money. Then land on XXN-1927. Be ready to kiss your stelgun good-bye. Remember all your 'pals' from the first go-around in the Potter and Clarke quads, and pay a visit to Masterson at Oxford. That should get you started.

It works so well and so fast that you don't see it work. You will see that it did work when you finish a particularly tense battle and have extensively damaged armor, and no damaged systems (they typically are already repaired before you can dock). Remember to repair your armor by selling the...

Re-sent the e-mail concerning 4 cloned stelguns.

hellcatv, Duh. I just figured it out. E-mail on its way.

hellcatv: I tried to send E-mail you about multicloning of the stelgun, but my mail service indicates the e-mail address "privater *atsign gmail.com" is not a valid format. Is this address "privater@gmail.com" or maybe "privater*@gmail.com? Let me know and I'll get you the info and a save...

I just finished taking out the Steltek drone with my 'Boosted StelGun' and was feeling pretty cocky, so I decided I pop some retros in high number with high bounty (thought I take on a Retro capship with 8 escorts to start out). On my way to J900 from Perry, I stopped at XXN-1927 to make sure I...

Thanks, hellcatv. Made the change and the derelict appears everytime. You know, the support you're giving on your free beta is better than most companies give on their $50 commercial gold versions. Thanks again.

Yeah, I always make sure Taryn has given me the proper instructions for the mission. I've ran it 10 times and the derelict has appeared exactly once. I guess I'll just go on from that one game that worked, instead of obsessing over where the gun is placed. Do you remember where the derelict...

I hate to have such a one-sided conversation, but I went back to re-fly the Steltek derelict mission, Taryn Cross Mission 4, to see if I can sell my inside left gun and have the Steltek gun mounted there, instead of the default right side, and I can't find the derelict ship again, even with the...

I moved the game files from Privateer Remake beta 0.9 over to Privateer Remake Beta 0.9b, and it works like a charm. There was the derelict right where the Steltek abandoned it, and where I could find it. Maybe it was a bug on my system (still only have music from one speaker), or I just...

I don't want to drop any spoilers, but I seem to be experiencing a bug in the Taryn Cross Mission 4, while working for the Exploratory Service. I've mapped out Delta, Beta, and Gamma on the first three missions, and fly the fourth mission to map out Delta Prime. At Delta Prime there is only...

I've been playing this game for the last three days, and it is really a blast. I haven't been so immersed since the original Privateer/RF days. I've made loads of credits. purchased both an Orion and a Centurian, and have even held onto Gramp's ship for old time's sake. I have gone through early...

Let me echo what others have said about Privateer Remake, and the great work and how much appreciation I share with others for your efforts. This is one of the most stable betas ever made. A few observations from a long time WC player and Privateer fanatic: 1) The enemy AI ship movements...

I can't get past the third mission for the Exploratory Service with Miss Cross as the fixer ( the mission right before you discover the Steltek derelict). By the time I reach the target system to run through the nav points, I'm either too low on missiles to effectively fight the Kilrathi who are...

Curious to know how many of you veteran WC pilots have been able to finish Privateer (Privateer 1 - Steltek Drone plot) in the Taurus. I tried out the newest version of VegaStrike last week, and the music that is played while I'm in dock made me homesick for Privateer to the point I had to play...

Hello everyone, I've posted a few times and I can see this board is frequented by pretty good and friendly people who share my love for these games. I've been playing WC games since WC1 came out (was it 1990?). A friend of mine was the only guy I knew who had a PC (I think it was a 286)...

I voted for WCIV, but Privater 1 is the true king. Privateer 2 was okay, but it really didn't deserve to be called Privateer anything; it shoud have called "Her Majesty'y Space Quest" or something.
