I just finished playing Privateer 1 a week and a half ago, what Kilrathi Drone ship? Do you mean the Steltek drone the Confed thought was Kilrathi? Or did I miss something crucial in all the times I've beaten the game? As far as I know, the only Kilrathi presence were fighters. That's all I bumped into traversing the quadrants. I didn't spend a awful lot of time near Kilrathi space though, so maybe I am missing something.

BTW Privateer 1, despite its limitations, was one hell of a game! I love the similarities to Freelancer, like the VERY American and British names for planets and stations.

I had frequented the kilrathi space a lot. (I loved watching thier cruisers blowing up I dont care what anyone says , privateer and righteous fire are better than freelancer anyday!. If you loook at some game it goes to show that great games arent made from 3d graphics!
Ill see what i can do. if i can build 3d models from the bitmaps, then expect too see all of the ships. (if i can)

The ship you kill in the end, the steltek one. I was pretty sure the Kilrathi had it, otherwise why would it be attacking the confed since the steltek aren't into war or whatever. EITHER WAY IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER; we need someone to make ships with smooth curves that are just as much works of art as they are deadly.

And BTW
I read once that Privateer1 was done in "two and a half-d" and that's why you could fly through astroid fields at top speed as long as you kept changing direction. Those were the days...

I think someone is making a Privateer Mod. Personally my favorite ship of any game is the Freij MK II with loaded Kraven MK IV lasers in Privateer 2. It looks a little like the vessel the woman bounty hunter is driving in SW Ep II only more bulky.

I forgot to add why I like it. I use to play chicken with enemy ships and ram them. With the powerful shield I had I could probably ram twenty ships before having to resort to guns. I once sat in front of a respawning Pirate base and killed over three hundred of them in less than a hour (5-7 a minute) without having barely a scratch.
