    Bidding is hard me thinks...

    High, You got a couple of really good advises :-). One more: If You are willing to pay 50$ for something go and bid 50,37$, maybe you outbid someone who bids 50,00$ .

    The end of Earth & Beyond is nigh!

    Hello, I'm glad to hear that about the US Server. On our stations there is only Basic Equipment in stock. If we want something special (Purgs, MS, even Sport+), we have to produce it. That often means we have to sit into a Mining Boat and start the chain from that point. Oooops, it is...

    The end of Earth & Beyond is nigh!

    High, Jumpgate rules and is a great game, at least on the European server. I never played on the US server. It seems to be more PvP oriented overthere. It is the closest thing to Privateer you can get for money.

    I must be nuts.

    The Darkening Hello, one thing I really hated in 'The Darkening'. You can't jump if an enemy shows up on the radar. And they never jump out. The frighter you are escorting jumps out and you stick at the place, because there is a pirate 1500 clicks away <grrrr>. This was imho the fun killing...

    Privateer: How do you get started?

    my way Hello, I first sell the Laser and the dump fire's. Buy 10 FF's and go out, hunting for Retros (with the missions of course).The Pirates ? After a couple of times, begging for mercy they are friends :-). Because you don't have a colored Radar you have to communicate to see who is the...

    My Privateer Thread

    Hello, It is, of course, just a question of personal playstyle. For me the Tachyons are best. The Tachyons also deliver a nice chainfire , when you have wasted your energy. Even a Tarsus, equipped with 2 Tachyons and 20 FF's is a very good fighter.
