    space trade games?

    I play privateer 2 right now for the first time and I love the trading system. As soon as you can afford to hire a monolith (which is better than any wingman) and have the money to load it fully, you can earn a lot of money with trading. beer and food from Bex to Anhur, industrial and hardware...

    Joystick troubles with Privateer 2

    Nice idea, I never tried to run P2 in dosbox, i just used it to install the game and the copy the winpatch over it. I followed your advice and tried it in dosbox but i can't tell you if the joystick works then, because an other problem occured. The videos break in dosbox. I don't get pass the...

    Joystick troubles with Privateer 2

    Recalibrating didn't work. The dot starts in the upper left of the calibration box. as soon as i touch the joystick, no matter which direction, the dot jumps in the upper right corner and i never get it back on the left side of the screen. I tried the joystick wit standoff and it works fine...

    copyrightquestion from a newbie...

    My fault. In german law part of the copyright on a creative peace of work is inalienable. Even when an author sells his work to a publishing house, part of the copyright stays with him. Thought it might be the same with US law, which is the decisive factor in this case. This is what i meant...

    Joystick troubles with Privateer 2

    Thanks for the advice. I'll try this. The funny thing is, as I said, that this just happens with Privateer 2. It worked fine with Privateer Gemini Gold didn't notice it with Secret Ops either downloaded it just for testing the Joystick, seems to be a nice game though ;) )

    OK, Privateer2

    Hi, sorry for double posting but for some reason i can't edit my post. I still don't get any missions and i really start to wonder what Privateer 2: The Darkening has to do with WC at all. No Condfederation...no Kilrathi.... I tried to look it up in wcnews' Encyclopedia, but I still didn't get...

    Joystick troubles with Privateer 2

    Hi, I use an Thrustmaster USB joystick. The stick worked fine with Privateer Gemini Gold (which I bought it for) but has little "turn to the right tendency" when i play privateer 2. (BTW, I use the Win Patch and run WIn XP home). Recalibrating only helps in one way, that the ship stays on...

    copyrightquestion from a newbie...

    I can't give you a really satisfying answer but I can tell you that you got to distinguish between the copyright of the game (like don't copy this cd...) and the copyright on the literary content. Even when the game itself runs as abandoned, the literary content, like character and story, can...

    Official 2005 Fan Project of the Year Voting Thread

    Hello, I'd really like to vote for Privateer Gemini Gold. Yet, it's the only nominated game I've played and there is an other message line concerned with the topic that newbies shouldn't vote. I don't know what this is about, so I'm a little confused... :(

    OK, Privateer2

    Hi you guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but, as you can see, I'm quite new here. Also I don't have much WC experience. I played WC 3+4 and Privateer when I was young and came back to gaming over Privateer Gemini Gold, about which I read in the Ct, one of Germanys...
