#Adze ship wing commander privateer series#

You get a roomy cockpit, loads of cargo space, and you can add top and bottom turrets if you feel you need more fire power. She’s not as flashy as some ships, but she sure is practical. Can I tell you about the Orion or Galaxy?Ĭhecking out the Galaxy-class merchant ship? Good choice. You are obviously a privateer who likes firepower… But I’m afraid my boss won’t let me trade ship for ship.

Reject: Hmm… let me give you a sales brochure and my card. Your payment will be deducted automatically. You’ll find your new ship fuelled up and waiting on the landing pad for you. So how about it? Interested?Īccept: You certainly know a good deal when you see one, friend. Any credits left will be credited to your account. I can use your old ship for trade in, including any extras. Beautiful, eh? Look at those hard edges, the aerodynamic sleekness… Did you know the Mercenaries’ Guild has endorsed the model 2069 as the best publicly available fighter? The Centurion is a real bargain, priced at 200000 credits. Note the racks for 4 guns, 2 weapons and, of course, a rear turret. As you can see, the Centurion is a heavy fighter. D'oh! Another one to note: X674 354G displays an ML04 Heron and describes a ML4D Salvia destroyer.I see you’re looking at the Centurion. These show the military ship pictures with civilian ship names, and in two cases (the light and medium) give two different names in different entries. Note on the military ship names: the four class names come from somewhat-inconsistent CCN booth entries.

It's less clear how the M元B connects back to the two civilian Faldaris (it looks, if anything, like a pirate Tacon.) The 04 series is a mess, including four seemingly different ships in totally different roles (including a military destroyer!) The ML01 Duress/ML1B Light and ML02 Heretic/ML2B Medium connections are clearly intentional.

And they shuffle together in a very interesting way! The designation may indicate that these are ships of a military origin if the families refer to different shipbuilders, ML must be Ares Systems (established to be the manufacturer of the Freij MK II in a news story.) The ML family is the biggest group, It includes higher tier, seemingly military-oriented civilian ships, a variety of pirate ships and all of the military fighters. This suggests that the Blade is a development of the Kalrechi, which is further borne out by the visuals (and the shared heavy fihter classification.) The PL family is centered around the 'low end' civilian lineup, ranging from the Straith (the cheapest ship in the game) to the Kalrechi (the cheapest heavy fighter.) The only aggressor which fits into this family is the Kindred PL4B Blade heavy fighter.

They even fill out missing numbers in the ML series! Analysis and very sexy charts follow: When ordered with the civilian ships, an implied relationship comes to the surface. Pirate and military ships, with some exceptions, use the same designations. MLA - partial series of pirate fighters.PRH - partial series of pirate fighters.PLM - partial series of pirate fighters.We also know from the civilian designations that related/follow-up ship designs use the same number and add a letter: M元A Faldari MK II, ML6A Freij MKII, P元A Skecis MK II, CR1A Gea MK II and CR3A Ilia MK II. In every case, the ships increase in role (but not necessarily sticker price) with each iterative number. The Weird World of Privateer 2 Ship DesignationsĬivilian ships in Privateer 2 divide into several ranges or families, each of which generally includes a ladder of light, medium and heavy fighters or a group of ships of a similar type (ie, all transports and all shuttles.) Ships in these families are numbered, though there are two apparent missing designations in the ML family (ML04 and ML05.)
