The Progen Privateer (PP) is a Trader class within Earth and Beyond. The PP has more reactor power and weapon slots than Terran Tradesman , and so makes a good second-line fighter. It can also install more powerful shields than the Jenquai Seeker , and thus may survive longer in heated battle. However, this is accomplished by giving up device level 9 capability and also the number of device slots, thus limiting the ability to both buff/debuff and resist incoming damage at the same time. Progen Privateers are also slower, due to the progen preference for heavily-armoured ships.
The Progen Privateer was originally planned, but never implemented when Earth & Beyond originally went Live in 2002. Users of the ENB Emulator may now experience and enjoy playing this class of pilot.
