Missions

There are two main categories of missions in Privateer 2: ones you get from the Bulletin Board, and ones involving the main plot. This page deals with the former category. See the Plot page for those missions.
Missions are divided into several categories: Patrol, Seek & Destroy, Assasination, Escort, Defense, Rescue, SOS. Below are details for each mission.

Difficulty: Easy
Reward: 3800
Route: Hermes to Nav 151

"Infected Humanists"
From: CIS
Difficulty: Hard
Reward: 16,000
Locations: Anhur and Nav 12
Go to Anhur and scan all the ships for "Infected Humanists." Destory them. Your best bet is to scan the faster ships first, and those closer to the planet.

You can use Nuke'Ems now. Once the area is clear, go to Nav 12 and repeat the process. Remember not to kill all the ships until you're given permission. This part is also harder because some pirates start attacking you.
