[edit] Special
- Privateers can not build or trade foreign hull plans.
- Privs can fight without restriction in combat with alien hulls. (That's their benefit; not everything else. Magik)
- Privateer ships can transfer cargo from any enemy ship. They can steal all the enemy's ord and repair units or any other cargo they wish if they have the cargo room to do so. Only the amount of fuel they can steal has a hard limit.
- Using Privateer exclusive hulls (hull id 82-88) they can steal up to 400 fuel.
- Using other hulls they can steal up to 50 fuel.
- The transport can be blocked by Transport Inhibitors.
- Undamaged, shielded Federation ships are also protected.
[edit] Auto Capture
- If a BR4 Class Gun Ship, BR5 Torpedo Boat, Dwarfstar Class Transport, Meteor Class Blockade Runner or Bloodfang Class Command Carrier in non-privateer hands is set as capture target by a Privateer owned ship, it is autocaptured at the end of the next turn.
- The target ship can be anywhere on the map.
- The capturing ship gains experience by doing this.
[edit] Boarding Laser
- Privateer Boarding Lasers kill more personnel (even more if the ship has the hull plan of the target ship).
[edit] Extra Damage
- Large Weapons on privateer owned ships kill 4x the crew, colonists and guests.
- If a privateer owned ship fires at a ship and has the hull plan of the ship, it does 4x the basic shield and armor drain (Exotic Tech boni are not multiplied).

[edit] Special
- Party Skiffs can earn some extra money (more).
- Assault Gondalas can kill small amounts of enemy colonists within 200LY (more).
- River Royales collect money from big bases within 200LY and while dropping their happiness (more).
[edit] Bases
Privateers can create bases on Asteroid Fields.
[edit] Crime
Privateer bases cause crime to move in odd ways on all bases with in 200 LY of one of their bases. About 10% of a base's crime will either move to another base or 10% of another base's crime will move to into a base. Bases with high crime tend to drop in crime while low crime bases tend to gain crime.
- The Evil Empire and the Cyborg are immune to this special Privateer power.
- Privateers get an extra 100mc in a base, if that base is able to gather more than 10 crime. If they are able to gather more than 50 crime on one of their bases, their earning will reach 200mc.
- The Base Log shows the following message:
It's a Party!!! Everybody have fun!!!
[edit] Happiness
Privateer bases with 10,000+ colonists cause a drop in the happiness by 10 points of all other players bases within 200LY.
- Bases of the Cyborg or the Evil Empire are not affected.
- Bases of other Privateer players are affected.
[edit] Blasting Privateer Bases
Blasting a Privateer base from orbit will uncover their hidden cache of booty. (Cash) MC, fuel, ord and repair units. For every 300 privateer colonists that are killed that way, 6 megacredits, 2 fuel, 12 ordnance, and 3 repair units appear on the planet surface. The MC from the base are also spilled on the planet surface.
