I've had this happen before. It's usually just as I get killed by a Dralthi while the pilot is taunting me. Except it freezes just before my ship explodes.
You probably pushed 's' on accident. Just push it again and your shields will come back up. 'Shift S' will take them down even lower. If that doesn't help you probably have a weak or damaged reactor, so either upgrade that or repair it.
Actually the remake has been fine, it was Gemni Gold that's been giving me a headache (I played both just to get a taste of what they were like).
Which brings me to another thing I experienced in Vegastrike. I was in the Sol/Alpha Centauri systems looking at everything (except Earth which...
I've had the very same trouble with the Dralthi fighters. Got me so pissed off that I had to stop playing the game before I broke something out of anger...
But there is no ship buying screen in the origional Privateer or Gemni Gold. The Remake has one I know, but I assume the person who was asking would have noticed if he were playing the Remake.

I've been playing both, but I know it's the Remake, not Gemni Gold where you can purchase other ships, but as of yet I haven't found any. I bought an Orion out of shear frustration at not being able to find any other ships.
I docked at a base (Joplin I think?) before taking out the two or three ships that were chasing me so I could escape to what I thought was safety. While inside the base I could still hear the noises as if my ship were being fired upon, then an explosion. It's a good thing I couldn't access the...
I'm not sure what's up, maybe I suck at fighting, but lately whenever I see a Dralthi fighter I run away. Or at least try, they're fast enough to be able to catch up to the Centurion easily. It's gotten so annoying fighting kilrathi that I had to take a break from the game before I broke...
Well when spiritplumber comes back and starts crying because nobody liked his joke I won't be held responsible.
As to whether or not this thing will be a planet, I kind of hope it will be. If they decide to call it such it will be one more thing out there to study in more detail, rather than...
