In Game "News" question

Post by tom2619 »

Frequently there are messages titled 'Help Wanted'. These messages detail information about valuable stuff in with debris from derelict vessels, etc., after a battle. Its an invitation to show up and pick up this stuff for some fast cash. But, the locations seem to be impossible to track. Is this something that needs to be extensively researched by exploration, is there some trick to this, or is this something that still needs to be developed for game play?

Same here, I've never been able to go to these places.

Probably just fiction, but the other die hard Privateer players would know for sure.

Got there but there's Nothing

About those newsreels about space salvage and cargo and hulls adrift after a collossal battle, I carefully plotted a course and got to where the supposed battle occured - nothing. And forget about contacting x Squadron thats supposed to handle the salvage run - you can't find them, couldn't even know where to start finding them. It seems GNN(Gemini(?)News Network) airs these as fillers between your actual exploits and random inconsequential events.

Why does somebody do a post called "GNN Today" and make it so that the author post news articles about such things as development, tweaks, civil wars, ect. That would be cool.
