Yeah I used 4 Tachyons when I played it the first time back on my 386 machine when I was 12 years old. But now I think it's difficult to aim with the outer cannons on the wing of the Centurion. So I put 2 Lasers outside (2 Tachyons inside) and have less energy drain... faster fire weapons...

Thank you very much LOAF! :) That helps a lot... I'm still unsure, which is the best weapon for Privateer. I always thought the Tachyon cannon (without Steltek gun) ... Fusion Cannon had too slow speed and too short range... My favorite weapons for Centurion: Laser - Tachyon - Tachyon -...

Hey everybody, I found the following chart: https://www.wcnews.com/articles/gunchart.htm Are these numbers correct and tested? Rylex

Heya everybody, I've seen the manual from Gemini Gold here: http://priv.solsector.net/downloads/manual.pdf The gun numbers and damage/speed seem a bit wrong for me. Does anybody have a complete list for all the guns in Privateer and Privateer RF? The Meson Blaster nearly as strong as...

Hio Deacan, I'm sorry to hear that 2007 was not a good year for you... well 2006 was a bad year for me but 2007 was better. I've read the CIC news and I wanted to ask if you still acceppt orders for your German Privateer books? Well I am from Germany, too :D and I really would like one...

Hi Alex, yeah mip-mapping I heard that before :p:D. You don't need to include an old fashioned linear filtering just for me. I'll play with my configuration today again. I guess it's ok then. Do you force Mip-mapping in applications that do not support it? There's a driver setting for...

Hehe... I have to disagree here. I noticed that the textures do not look that detailed under OpenGL. Sure the star background looks great and I always prefered OpenGL when compared to Direct3D. Just open the technical Database in Standoff with OpenGL and look at the details of the ship...

I've installed the new nvidia drivers from September with WHQL and the game now works OK in OpenGL (not upscaled) 1024x768 ... it doesn't however work with Direct3D in 1024x768 and 32bit. It only works with 16bit under Direct3D. But I now use OpenGL so it's ok...

Hi Eder, I think I selected "Quality" on this PC. (I'm now sitting on another PC and not at home)... I never use "performance"... I always try to get as much quality as possible. I even disabled most of the drivers optimizations on filtering techniques. Like I said: OpenGL doesn't work...

Standoff Episode 4 Hey everybody, the new cockpits especially the Arrow looks great. OpenGL doesn't seem to work for me. Is there a known bug? The mouse hangs a lot and I really can't play the game because the delay is perhaps one fps per second? :eek: ... I got a Geforce 6600 GT and an...

OK I see have much too learn... :D ... that's when you're for a long time in hospital and come back and read the stuff... Well concerning WC4 it had the worst cockpit layout of all WC games... means: It had no real cockpit. But the game itself was really good :)

I know that Chris Roberts had nothing to do with Feelancer but still however I love Freelancer :D ... concerning cockpit view... that is a MUST for Wing Commander styled games. So I'm happy that Freelancer has the classic cockpit view when pressing Ctrl-V ... a 3D-view of the ship from top of...

OK but... It is nice to see the name Wing Commander again in a new game but so far I'm not convinced about WC Arena. So far from what I have seen it is not a real "Wing Commander" ... they just use the name and a some WC-like style (which looks ugly in my opinion) for a simple shoot em up...

Haven't posted here for a long time but need to say excellent great work. I'm impressed very much!!

I have to disagree here completely! The cockpits gave the game much more reality! Yeah sure you can't see that much but hey you still have a radar. The Tarsus cockpit was really hard ... Orion was better and Galaxy... but hey once you had the Centurion you didn't had to think about that problem...

This is not correct if you compare it vs the Arrow of Armada or WC Standoff. The Steltek drone has only 1700 kps afterburner speed and the Arrow from Armada is much faster ... the Arrow from Standoff even has 2100 kps. So my favorite all time ship is the Arrow... (the fast Arrow like in...

Sorry yes I really mean the Raptor. The Rapier is an excellent ship and even was this back in WC1 times... :D And Lt.Death100 ... the Rapier is from WC1, too... well not the new Rapier II model but the original Rapier is from WC1 :D In Standoff... Gladius compared to the Rapier... I think...

I absolutely do NOT agree at this point. If you mean the Gladius from Privateer then OK it was a bit weak but still not that bad. If you mean the Gladius from Standoff then there are still lots of ships worse... (like Rapier or Hornet in Standoff... Hornet with Neutron guns is really a joke...

In my opinion all ships without afterburners suck... even if they have turrets on all sides. The Arrow by the way is still one of the best fighters. Sure you need to know how to fly it... but still back in WC Armada I remember crushing all my friends with the Arrow... so the Arrow is still...

:) yeah I was quite sure that somebody else discovered this video "feature"... I just remember the first time when playing WC3 back in 1995 (yeah a bit late I know but my computer was to slow in 1993/1994) ... I immediately recognized it in the video. Later I've seen this video more often...
