[edit] Special

[edit] Big Boss

At turn 4 Privateers get 20,000 MCs on their Galactic Bank account from the big boss. (You can order tech increase at turn 3 to be paid by the big boss deposit.) 

Subject: Money Transfer 
We have acquired 20000 gc 
 from the big man.

[edit] Data Sharing

If any race shares data with the Privateers, the Privateers will be able to see that race's Universal Friendly Code.

[edit] Scanning

[edit] Privateer Spies

  • The Privateer Spies can give you a message about Bases with huge amounts of Megacredits or Contrabands.
  • The message does not provide an updated scan of the base or planet.
  • It doesn't depend on Spy Mana or your Spy Rating.
  • It loops through bases, starting at a random object ID and when it finds a base, there is a 40% chance that it'll check it for contraband and money.
  • Limitation:
    • It has no limitation in range.
    • The Base must have more than 30,000 MC or 10,000 Contras
    • It'll only send up to 5 messages.
    • The same spy report for these bases is sent to all privateer players in the game.
      • Your own base or other privateer bases aren't excluded.

[edit] Special

  • Privateers cannot build or trade foreign hull plans.
  • Privs can fight without restriction in combat with alien hulls. (That's their benefit; not everything else. Magik)

[edit] Advanced Transporter Beam

  • 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

[edit] Mark Ships

The basis of this is from past carnivals. The ticket booth would have the attendant sitting high above the customers so that they could see the customer open their wallet. They would then signal a cohort to brush their shoulder with chalk, thus marking the target for pick-pocketing later.

  • New Privateer race ability since Host 213.43.
  • Privateer ships can mark a target ship for the remainder of the turn.
  • You need to be within 5 ly of a target and having the capture target setting set on that ship and will mark if without a scan.
  • The marked ship just cannot be fully cloaked.
  • The effect of the mark is a detailed scan of the ship.
  • The mark will only happen when scans normally happen, so every 5 movement pulses.
  • If the HConfig value “ReduceScanning” is in effect, then this lessens the chance of the mark happening as it is a function of the Privateer scanners.

[edit] Boarding Laser

[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] Experience

Unlike any other race, experience is absolutely vital for Privateer ships.

[edit] Experience and Training

Crew
  • Ships can train 5% to 42% of their max. crew capacity per turn from any colonists on the ship.
  • Cannot exceed crew capacity. (You need some room to get new crew.)
  • Ship experience does not affect the number of crew trained.
Troop
  • Ships with an experience >= 50 can train 5% of the colonists on the ship to be troops.
  • You do not need to have empty room, you can produce troop from colonists even if your guests area is full.
High Guard
  • Ships with an experience > 100 can train 5% of the troops on the ship to be high guard.
  • A limit of 25 new high guard a turn can be trained by a ship with high experience (Host 4.000.165).

[edit] Experience gain

All ships can gain experience by surviving a space combat where at least one enemy ship is destroyed. On top of this, Privateer ships have extra means of gaining experience:

  1. + 50 Exp: Stealing an alien hull plan from an enemy base with the hull plan napper (MCBR)
  2. + 30 Exp: Taking a Privateer hull ship away from another player by spacing their crew with the Auto Capture attack (Any privateer ship)
  3. + 25 Exp: The money tap stealing more than 5000 mc (MCBR)
  4. + 20 Exp: Stealing an alien hull plan from an enemy ship's computer core (MCBR)
  5. + 10 Exp: Stealing an alien hull plan from an enemy gold pod that is docked with an enemy ship (MCBR)
  6. + 10 Exp: Stealing more than 500kt food from an enemy resupply pod (MCBR)
  7. + 10 Exp: Stealing more than 500kt food from an enemy base with the cargo grappler (MCBR)
  8. + 10 Exp: Stealing more than 500kt of all accumulated cargo from an enemy ship with the cargo grappler (MCBR)
  9. + 10 Exp: Using a boarding laser on an enemy ship if the enemy is using a hull that is not of his own design (MCBR,Skyfire Skuller)
  10. + 5 Exp: Using a boarding laser on an enemy ship (MCBR, Skyfire Skuller)

[edit] Boarding Benefits

  • Privateer ships with more than 100 experience get an extra attack bonus for their Troops during a Boarding action. 240 experience give a 240% attack bonus.

[edit] Special

[edit] Bases

[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.

[edit] Special Buildings

[edit] Missing Buildings

[edit] Long Range Effects

The Privateers have a number of different devices, assault units and other effects that can affect enemies - and usually allies too! - at long range. Some of these require a current scan of the target, some are 'area effect' and will affect all targets within range whether scanned or not.

Name Range (ly) Targets Affects Type Effects Notes
Base with 10k+ Priv Colonists 200 Bases Enemies and Allies Area Effect Causes unhappiness Cyborg and Evil Empire immune
River Royale 200 Bases Enemies and Allies Area Effect Makes money, causes unhappiness Cyborg immune
Pirate Cove 200 Bases Enemies and Allies Area Effect Steals food and contraband, causes unhappiness Cyborg immune (Evil Empire immune to unhappiness only)
Siren HAARP 20 Ships Enemies and Allies Area Effect Steals crew Solorians immune. Will steal from fully cloaked ships too
Assault Gondala 200 Bases Enemies Need Scan Kill colonists Cyborg immune. Undercities and Raid Shelters offer protection.
Cargo Grappler 50 Bases Enemies Need Scan Steals food Max 1000 from a single base.
Cargo Grappler 50 Ships and Pods Enemies Need Scan Steals general cargo Steals metals, food, med units and supplies, in that order
Money Tap 50 Bases, Ships and Pods Enemies and Allies Need Scan Steals money Only steals money from base if more than 10k mc is present
Hull Plan Napper 50 Bases, Ships and Pods Enemies and Allies Need Scan Steal foreign hull plans Causes damage to ships, destroys gold pod.
Fuel Robber 50 Ships Enemies Need Scan Steals fuel Solorians immune. Max 50 fuel stolen per turn
