Kilrathi Asteroid in Privateer

Nay, TC, I'm with you and Meson on that.

You have to remember that Privateer is quite an old game, almost 10 years old now. I don't think such variability would be practical in those days, nor what the storywriters wanted.

Hmm, I thought you said that was a not-so-good point in your report.

In any case, most of the bartenders' jabberings seem to be plot related in some way.

Not even once? Wow, where is your sense of adventure?

I would have loved to see that in Privateer. In any case, even tho it is not there, I still go looking for it! :D

Not much of a *GAME* if there isnt a little fun and adventure.

Thank God? Why? Such ambiguous rumours are great, they give you things to look for... and not find ;).

I agree. I think if they do a good job having some of the rumors true and others not it adds a edge of wounder on the game.
 
I think I never went looking for it because I didn't like the idea of going out with no support (bases) and getting my ship beat all to hell after I spent all that money decking it out.
 
I went out looking for it personally when I first played Privateer and had my Centurian all decked out. I was racing for my life and those cats couldn't touch me :D
 
If you want to travel the kilrathi sectors peacefully then don't kill a single Kilrathi (or at least not too many) and you'll be friendly with them. I didn't do this on purpose, I almost jumped when a cat started talking with me peacefully :p A weird game it was, friendly with everyone but pirates and retros.

Zhak.

Yeah that works. You can also get the Confeds pissed off at ya by killing alot of there own ships and the Kilrathi will "love" you for it.

But your way Zhak, is alot more safer :D
 
or you could just slap on invincibility and go after everyone!!!:D:D

(i did that once. warning: if you do it, be prepared for hour long flights to someplace that should only take you a couple minutes.)

Surves you right to cheat! :D
 
I had already beaten the game several times before i tried that. and it wasn't the cheating. it was everyone wanting to kill me. i couldn't just let them live, i had to properly dispose of them :D. and is there anyone who hasn't used that cheat at least once? didn't think so.

(and anyway, it's only cheating if you get caught, and even then it's still not cheating. it's useing every advantage availiable:D:D)
 
Yeah, sometimes invincibility is the only way to get every last flaming cat and stay alive in the asteroids.

But hey, what do you mean by long hour flights?
 
I think I afterburned through the asteroid fields. You had to do violent circles with the joystick, but usually you didn't crash. It was useful for the missions prior to the steltek base, where there are lots of asteroids and Kilrathi. I don't remember using invencibility; correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't invencibility invalidate the mission you were on? That would only make it usefull for exploring :)

hell yeah. and i mean hour long flights cause if you are fighting everyone, you're gonna run into someone who doesn't like you, more like several people who don't like you. and run into several groups of several people who don't like you. and if you are like me (meaning you don't run unless a big green egg shooting green shit is running after you) it will take some time to properly dispose of those several groups composed of several people who don't like you.

Unfortunately, we were all students of his way of life, in that the American culture was his classroom. The only way to have escaped that was to hide under a rock. :p
