    Crossbow and Stat Conversions

    During my "research," I fired up WC2 and Academy and let the enemy take down my shields, then afterburn away and wait until they were fully recharged. It took lots of excel charts to determine the best recharge rates for each craft, and then I went from there and "guestimated" the rest, using...

    Alpha Test Game 4

    Not at all! It said Sierra 1 would move 1 forward and turn 1 left. I translated this into "speed 1, turn 1 to port," when it actually was "speed 2, turn 1 to port." You can see in Sierra 1's info screen that its speed is 2, so I guess that's what Skanks intended to do... Either I misinterpreted...

    Alpha Test Game 4

    That's weird... The error message is gone now, and I was able to access turn 12 CP. It appeared right after submitting my orders for MP, then going back and trying to open Game 4's menu screen. (It would let me go to the Phase 5 page, but threw the above message right after clicking on Game 4.)...

    I guess you're all seeing this, but in case not: "indicator:database_tail_target_update (1): MySQL query error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE `id`=3245' at line 1 SELECT...

    Turn 12 MP: "Zeta 1 can tell where Sierra 1 will fly next (rolled: 9)." Then clicking on tailing predictions: "None of your ships are tailing enemies, commander." M-hm... :D

    Crossbow and Stat Conversions

    Hm, I'm still missing my "official" ship list with the current stats, but what I did find is one of the first generation ship cards (from the physical version of the game). And yes, you're quite close with your guestimates... :) Here's what I found: Max Speed: 4 Acceleration: 2 (seemed to be...

    Alpha Test Game 4

    I got the exact same message. No ship name given, and another slide to the right. What's worse, I got it in the MP again instead of the EP. (Or do I only have a chance to read my tailing predictions during EP while we're waiting for other players?) Which means tailing is currently worth zilch...

    Alpha Test Game 4

    Okay, just to get this straight: There's no team IFF implemented, but we still use the Confed/Kilrathi IFF? If so, it's true that FF missiles from Confed craft would only hit Kilrathi fighters and Confed fighters with a damaged hull (and vice versa). I kinda thought that "no team IFF" meant that...

    Alpha Test Game 4

    Yeah, I bet we'll see some evasive afterburner action this EP... :p Now that missiles have info tabs (yay!), I'm wondering why Sierra 2's FF missile is targeting Zeta 2 instead of Wandering Soul. The latter is the nearest enemy, and it is well within the FF's fire arc. Also, Sierra 1's FF...

    Alpha Test Game 4

    Wow, that was quite something! I tailed Quail in turn 8 EP, and now I'm getting the tailing predictions in turn 9 MP! Thanks for the info, but I'm pretty sure I KNOW where the Quail I was tailing has gone by now. ;) What's more, the tailing message was "looks to be gearing up to slide right."...

    Alpha Test Game 4

    Turn 8 CP: The "Orders" button for Zeta 1 was sitting somewhere in the middle/left of the ship info screen instead of its normal position. Also, there weren't any valid targets for me to choose... So basically I just had to hit "Orders" and "Report" for nothing. ;)

    Have a look at Bravo 1 in turn 8... ;)

    Alpha Test Game 4

    ...and I'm back. Sorry guys, I had one hell of a week! Basically just signed in to game 4 and issued my orders so the game could go on. Of course, I tried to keep up with the forum, but I didn't get around to sign in and reply until now. So, in short: Crossbow data: I tried to find my old ship...

    Alpha Test Game 4

    Okay, second try... My first reply got wiped clean when the forum did some sort of auto-refresh (?) after I was half-way through. :confused: I guess Avacar could do something about the damage incorrectly done to Sierra 2. As far as grid size goes: No, 25x23 is not fixed or anything. Personally...

    Alpha Test Game 4

    Sorry, just came back from a long day at the recording studio. Okay, so: Sierra 2 took evasive action, and considering the angle at which the DF was launched, there's no way the missile could have hit the target. As far as I can tell, capi3101's DF should have missed, and there's no stray...

    Alpha Test Game 4

    Yeah, this end phase might finally see some explosions... ;) @capi3101: As Avacar said, it's not implemented. I've started to redo the existing internal damage system from scratch, but right now, I think the game rules need a lot more beta-testing before moving on with more (and more...

    Someone building a map editor? That'd be great news indeed! :) I'll also skim through the 3D pack recently released on the news section to see if we could maybe add some more ship types to the bunch. As for my vote: I'm for anything except a). So if b) or c) don't happen, I'm all for d). Savvy? :p

    Thanks a lot! If everything else fails, I'll gladly come back to your offer.

    Where to get old games offline?

    Those are about the answers I expected/was afraid of. ;) I've actually seen Starlancer on sale over at Amazon, but I'm not sure if they'd really ship to a US address when my customer account is German. :p As for Prophecy Gold: Yes, I'd like to have the larger manual. :) I'd settle with the...
