Sob, boo hoo, no voice in RF
Hey! I'm still playing it. But I do miss old "Brownhair" voicing his witty sallies. This game has terrific voice-acting as well as good writing....especially compared to new space-sims, such as X3 and SFRU (where the voice-acting and stories are god-awful).
BTW, where did the name "Burrows" come from? I don't see any mention of it in the original Privateer manual. Back in the day he was frequently referred to as "Brownhair" to differentiate him from WC1/2's "Bluehair." "Blair" came from "Bluehair," but I don't see "Burrows" coming from "Brownhair."
Took my Paradigm out and tractored in a few Gothris. Upgraded my Centurion with all the new RF stuff (except the small cargo expansion, which just won't fit after I stick on all the other stuff...but who needs it?)
I'm wondering if a pimped-out Stiletto might prove to be superior to the Centurion. Unfortunately, I like having a cockpit.
Really love this game!

The Stiletto has a cockpit.? I haven't bothered to switch to it yet; I just assumed that since it wasn't an original piloted ship, it didn't have a cockpit. BTW, isn't that a Starlancer cockpit?
I'm unfamiliar with the Privateer literature; I'll have to look into that.
Seeing your post, reminds me that I haven't checked out VS status for a while. VS is installed on this pc, but I haven't updated it or played it recently. Maybe, it's time to get lost in that godawful big VS universe again.

Hmmmm, not only does the Stiletto have a cockpit, but, wonders never cease, so do other originally non-pilotable ships. Obviously, people have been busy.
The Stiletto, Gladius and Demon have what look to me like Starlancer-type cockpits, the Talon has a Galaxy cockpit, and the Dralthi has the original Dralthi cockpit from WC SM1 (or was it SM2?). Nice touch. I wonder if someone is working to transfer over the WC2 Broadsword cockpit?
Edit: I was just thumbing through my WC Armada manual and it looks like some of those cockpits might be from Armada rather than Starlancer...except I don't remember any cockpits in that game. Thought it just used a HUD. I also noted that the Salthi has a cockpit in Remake, but I can't place the WC ship it's from. Looks like it's from the original WC or SM1/2.

It's just not the same without the cockpit. I would not even consider playing early WC games without it. You gotta have a cockpit.

Does anyone remember when/if the WC series did away with cockpits or added the option to toggle them on/off? First I thought Armada didn't have cockpits, but I checked the manual and they're there. Then I thought WC3 didn't have them, but once again I checked the manual and one's shown. Just don't remember if WC4 and Prophecy/SO had them or not. It's been years since I've played these games. I've got tons of unused gigs on my HD; maybe I should just reinstall all the WC games and answer my own question.

WC3 One could toggle the cockpit on and off. In WC4 there were no cockpits. Funny thing was in WC3 I preferred to play with the cockpit off, but would turn it on now and then. I think Prophecy was without cockpits also.
But for Privateer, no choice....there MUST be cockpits!!

As the original CD version of "Righteous Fire" was fully voiced, I would think it would be better to just transfer that voicing to the PR version. Probably a lot easier said than done, though.Lopaka79 wrote:Has anyone tried to get people to voice-over the RF stuff? Hell I'll do someones voice.
