Privateer on Mac
It plays great on Jaguar but the joystick doesn't work right on Panther (I've had the same problem with Vega Strike.)
There's alot of wierdness with ship upgrades:
- You can't add cargo space to the Tarsus
- The Orion, Century, and Galaxy all come with the same size cargo space (150 cubic meters) and you can't add cargo space to any of them.
- Proton torpedoes appear and act like fusion guns w/ a limited ammo supply but no power drain instead of a slow heavy-damage missile
- You can't put a generator, engine, or shield upgrade on a stock or milspec Broadsword
- I've yet to find a ship that takes the Shield/Heavy/multi-regenerator upgrade
- I've yet to find a ship that takes the Engine/Heavy/Multi-speed upgrade
- You have to sell you existing generator(s) to be able to buy the gun coolers and then repurchase your generator.
- There doesn't seem to be a cap on the number of ECM's you can buy
- When you purchase more armor/hull because yours is damaged, it just adds it instead of replacing the damaged armor/hull
- When you purchase better generators, shields, or repair systems it ust adds them on instead of replacing the older upgrade
Privateer is one of my all-time favorite games. Its great to be able to play it again.
