calibration, invulnerabilty (GOD MODE) are a few of the options that
are available. Be careful when using this "cheat" though, if you are
either flying a mission (cargo or plot) and you go into this option
screen to save yourself, the mission is considered a failure and if you
are on a plot mission, you are basically screwed. You'll need to go
back to a saved game (hopefully you remembered to save!) and start from
there. Bounty missions are different, apparently they are unaffected
by this option (sometimes getting rid of a mission is good, you can
only "hold" three missions...not including plot missions). You can
get into this mode at any time, even while flying!

Q. How do I kill the green drone?
A: When you are givin the assignment from Admiral Terrel, if you haven't
figured it out yet, you are to be the bait for the green drone. The
Confeds are going to ambush the drone in hopes of destroying it. Fat
chance, their guns are impervious to it. The only hope is your newly
charged up (by the Steltek you encounter on the way). Once you get to
the ambush site, and after a short formal conversation with the Confeds
the green drone will appear. The Privateer Playtesters guide suggests
the strategy here is to fire a few shot at the oncoming drone then turn
90 degreees to avoid its fire. It says to stay on its rear and avoid
direct encounters. It also says to avoid getting between the Confeds
(Commodore Reissmman and his buddies, a Paradigm and two Broadswords)
and the drone because they will shoot you down (friendly fire). I
think the best strategy is to get away from the Confeds and take the
drone on by yourself. It will follow you, always, so use it to your
advantage. A centurion equiped with level 2 shields can take a few
hits from the drone. If you have level three, even better. Only use
the green gun( the other guns are useless and drain valuable energy).
Line up with the drone and fire until your finger bleeds. Once you see
