I was just wondering if there are more mission types in the game rather than "Go here, blow this up/Kill him/Wipe out these ships." I don't remember either Privateer game very well, but I do remember some tense moments when enemies swooped (can you actually do that in space?) out of nowhere to attack the transport I was guarding or when I was trying to sneak a particularly illegal load of ... stimulants ... onto a police planet. Once I have explored more space, will I be able to find some cool new missions?

(I've finished the single player missions, but I've only explored the bare minimum number of systems to do it, although every system I've been to, I did land everywhere I could to get commodity information.)
