name I didn't noticed for I soon changed it. You ain't got a jumpdrive, so
you cannot jump to other systems. You are currently in Troy system, Humboldt
quadrant. What you gotta do is to make some more money so that you can buy a
jumpdrive and become able to jump to another star systems. You also will need
to buy additional sector maps (this is done in Software Booth at Ship Dealer's
hangar), or you'll be unable to find anything in uncharted sectors. Each map
costs 2000 cosmobucks, but you can buy all of them for just 5000.
There's much of action in the game but anyone should solve his fighting
problems himself - there's no common way to defeat enemies. For example, I
used my MoneyMaker and made 255 FF missiles before each mission. This amount
is quite enough to get thru the most tough missions, like the one where you
encounter total of 11 Kilrathi in three waves and then Kamekh with two
Grikaths of cover (that's not counting retros). Sure, you can try to go thru
without any cheats, especially when you have a joystick for ship control via
keyboard's too rough to point guns exactly where you want :(u'll see that by
yerself).
It would be wise to save game before each new mission - this will allow you
to replay it if you fail. Unlike Wing Commander, Privateer's storyline is
straightforward and if you fail one of the crucial missions you'll be unable
to go further and finish the game. By "crucial" I mean missions given by
game characters. Those you get from Mission computer, Mercenaries' Guild or
Merchants' Guild are not important for the storyline - they're just mean for
making money.

Ok, let's go over the game now.

Q: Where can I get the money?
A: There's couple'o'ways: you can take missions at the Mission Computer and
receive paiment after accomplishing them (most likely those will be
patrols or something like that), but that will take much time 'cause your
