- The following has been taken from various sources.I done some of the
- hints and some other people did the others:

- ~Tips
-
- N.B:The Following won't work if you are on invunerable mode!!!
-
- Go to the New Detroit base, enter bar and talk to Sandoval. Accept
- his mission. When it is completed return to New Detroit bar and
- talk to Tayla. while working for her, do not destroy any pirates,
- tell them you won't tell anyone and they will leave you alone (if it
- doesn't work the first time try again). When Tayla's missions are
- complete go to New Constantinople and talk to Roman Lynch in the
- bar. During his first mission, Captain Seelig will attack you when
- approached so leave prepared. In the second mission when taking
- Regis to Romulus base, expect heavy attacks from Confed. The third
- mission is actually an ambush by Lynch to get the artifact, kill
- Miggs and go to Oxford base. Talk to the guy in the library and do
- his missions. When getting Hunter Toth to Oxford (he looks a lot
- like Salmon Rushdi surprisingly enough !) take care to stay near him
- or a load of retros will turn up to kill him. This is the same when
- protecting the cargo freighter, or it will be destroyed by pirates
- (it's OK to kill them now).
-
- Once you have access to the library, use the computer and analyse
- the artifact. When you've read all the boring stuff, go to Palan
- agricultural planet. Use you're Afterburners (provided you've got
- some) to break through the blockade. Go into the bar and talk to Dr
- Monkhouse. Go to the Basra refinery in the Palm system and talk to
- Lynn Murphy in the bar. Her missions are very difficult so pack
- plenty of missiles. Once you have destroyed the blockade (final
- mission with Murphy), land on Palan. Talk to Dr.Monkhouse again and
- transport him to Basra refinery. There will be a Kilrathi attack
- force waiting for you so take care. When on Basra, talk to Lynn
- Murphy and then to Dr.Monkhouse. When he's finished preaching about
- the Steltek, go to Rygannon mining base. Talk to Taryn Cross in the
- bar and do her missions. In the final mission, in system Delta
- Prime, you will find an abandoned Steltek base. Land on this and
- examine the derelict fighter. Remove the weapon and return to
- Rygannon. Talk to Taryn Cross and then go to the Achilles mining
- base in the Troy sector (where you start the game). Accept her
- "mission" and go to Perry. Enter Admiral Terrell's offfice and talk
- to him. Accept his mission and fly to Blackade point Tango. On the
- way you will bump into a very strange looking craft. This is the
- Steltek, talk to it and offer to exchange the Steltek weapon for
- something (they want to know where their base is). They will take
- the weapon but programme the drone that you have come to kill to
- only take a couple of shots to be destroyed. When they "teleport"
- to Delta Prime, continue to Tango. Talk to Commodore Reismann and
- wait for the drone to come. Kill it and watch the nice cut scene.
- After that return to Perry and talk to Admiral Terrell, well done.
- You've finished, this doesn't mean that the game is over, but you
- found out about the artifact and found the "treasure". By the way,
- if you ever talk to Admiral Terrell again he will tell you all of
- the people that made Privateer, backed by some funny music.

- ~More Tips
-
- Quadrant maps are an essential purchase, without them you will be
- incapable of jumping to systems in other quadrants.
-
- Loading ordnance before a mission should not be forgotten.
- Missiles are a safe bet in a tight spot, especially Friend or Foe
- Interception missile which immediately locate the nearest hostile
- vessel and home in to both their shape and engine heat. There's
- not much chance of getting away from these !!!
-
- A large weapon, like a Tachyon Cannon maybe powerful, but if you're
- in a fast and furious battle your energy will take a while to
- replenish, so a few blasts maybe all you get !!!
