Title: Privateer 2 / FS similar-ness
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 27, 2002, 01:12:02 pm
Has anyone noticed the similarities between FS and Privateer 2: The Darkening? I just bought this game from a market stall and it's great!
Anyway, the Kindred Vendetta looks a bit like that black and yellow Terran Freighter, (Poseidon? I haven't been able to play FS for over 6 weeks now, so i've forgotten.) And the Papagod shuttle looks the Zeus Bomber.
I also think that the ILIA freighters would fit in well with FS, so perhaps a few mods or even a total convert would eb in order?

Im playing all my space sims again cos i got a joystick (how did i do anything without it????!!!!) and P2 wont install on XP!!! AHHH! I have to wait till I build my old 450 with win 98! (strangly enough, my other win 98 box, the 1gig, runs it perferctly, and after some copying, xp ran it slowly (interface that is) and there was sound degridation.... weird...)

oh yeah, about the frieghters, well cool, I was thinking about nicking one of the designes for me mod, their well cool and they have turrets! YAY!

Turrets in P2 make any ship armed with them a freaking battleship.

Actually, it's the Chirilliacan (or whatever) that looks like the Poseidon.
