***Disturbing Thoughts of Privateer***

Thu Mar 27, 2003 5:30 am by Stryfe

i just had a quick sniff aroud the net after completeing SP... the story line has soo many elements from Privateer in it its not funny.. even (if my memory serves me right) the main character looks similar :S

Alien artefacts, and english planet with a university, a scientist to study the artefact... :O

good grief...

hmmm the original Privateer had 64 systems me thinks... is it just me or is that quite huge for a game that was packed into 16MB?

lol i think i better search for a junky 486 so i can play it now..

Freelancer - Privateer MOD anyone?

anyone take the liberty (scuse the pun) of counting how many systems there are in freelancer? ( wheres that map gone ) you add all of these systems together.. . its almost a galaxy in itself... (well not quite), and on the topic of a galaxy...
how about the starmap for the Battletech® universe?
wooo talk about infinite expandibility :S

AHHHH the Troy system! =)

*Fond memories return*

What a great time it was. Wish it was still playable on my PC as I still have the full speech cd of Privateer heheh. Ahh the number of times I ran contraband from the pirate base in Pentonville to New Constantinople.

OOh and didn't the Padre system have a pleasure world. I sold many slaves to them there. =)

I put the music from Privateer (three of them) into game in Bars. The Main ditty for Liberty Space. The lesser planets in Liberty has the other agriculteral song; industial bases has that wierd mining base sound. Pleasure planet music I put on Pirate bases. Sounds really good in full stereo; original was MIDI format.

The original music is much better than that $hit music that plays now in bars (all sound variation of same thing; except for Kusari space Bar). Found them on the Net at a website. about 10 meg long for each in MPEG. Dowload is only 3 MEG in MP3 format, just use free sound convertor off Net.

16 meg..... pah

ELITE did better....

Elitelancer.... <--- the forth place. don't just vistit it, stay in it!

I still have Privateer 1 on this very computer, which dual-boots with windows 98 and also runs other old favourites like X-Com UFO Defense!
