WING COMMANDER PRIVATEER TORPEDO FREE

Price: 150,000 credits.Ĭenturion class - It looks and acts like a fighter jet. If you can defend yourself well and do a lot of cargo runs, it's not a bad choice but not entirely necessary. Despite all the armaments, Galaxies aren't too hard to take out. Two primary weapons and a secondary weapon can be put in each turret and in the front. Largest cargo space of them all and the most turrets (three - left, right, rear). The cargo hold is the same size as that of the Tarsus class. Can use the highest level of shields and armor, mount two primary weapons on the front, two in the rear turret, and one secondary weapon in front and rear. Other purchasable craft and their properties: tractor beam (used to pull jettisonned cargo into the player's ship's hold).topedo launcher (only ammuntion is the proton torpedo).They are (in order of least expensive to most expensive): The primary weapon types use energy rather than physical ammunition to fire and are much more frequently used. It isn't much but it works until you can afford better. It has little, but enough, cargo space, and room for two primary weapons and two secondary weapons or tractor beams. The ship you begin with is a Tarsus class. The player began the game as a privateer in an asteroid mining base in the Troy system. When I got this game it was already a ' classic' title and included the game's expansion, Righteous Fire, on the same disc. These, however, are pretty much the only drawbacks. The game also features no multiplayer mode.

Unfortunately, the only sequel ( Privateer 2: The Darkening) sucked (so says every opinion I've heard of it, at least, as I've never played it myself), the game is no longer in print (though if you look around, you might find it hosted online somewhere), and it seems another sequel and an MMORPG based on the Privateer gameworld/style of play has been cancelled. The game was released by Origin (way back before Electronic Arts bought it out) in 1994 and, to this day, I've seen only a small handful of games with the same level of freedom in them. Even then, the player can ignore the plot temporarily and even continue playing the game after the plot has ended, if he or she wants to. There's an actual plot which can be completely ignored (and even missed if the player never checks any of the bars at certain stations) if the player doesn't care to ' end' the game.
