Hey Spritiplumber, would it be feasible, as a quick and easy plot source, to use some of the WC novels or even the original games for navy missions in WCU. We could copy them completely, scatter them around naval bases with fixers, as prerequisites for obtaining naval craft.

make it suck down fuel like in escape velocity. Not reactor power but jump fuel. That would limit its use to only really desparate situations.

can anybody recommend a lite-weight csv editor for linux/kde? openoffice is bloaty/slow and koffice does wierd things with quotes when it saves.

I'm also getting seg faults with setup, under a fresh install of Fedora Core 3. had no trouble with .9b also tried this patch at: http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=16906 but with no success.

maybe because the orignal ships suck.

I would just like to point out that not only will the WC server be at legal risk here, but also our beloved sourceforge (and its mirrors), as that is where the actual game files are.

great! thanks for pointing out where the config values are, I'll play around with it.

in the original asteroids were about 1/10 the size of your ship... it's in the remake that they are huge.

yeah, but think about trying to shoot a rock the size of a mountain... would your guns really have any effect? Asteroid fields are great fun right now in the remake, but there's just no risk at all, even in a slow ship like the tarsus. It should be suicidal to enter a field in a slow...

I like this idea... capship bounties, but only thru the merc guild, as it would take a certified pro to attack a capship. I'm missing the fun of going after capships... it's a part of the gameplay that shouldn't be forgotten.

IIRC, asteriod collisions in the original were much more damaging? I remember that one asteriod would drop shields, and the next kill armor and probaly the ship (if flying thru with afterburners...). Asteriods were so dangerous and hard to avoid, at least for me, that running away on...

just to point out: resolution for surfing the web and playing games are two different things; browsers don't require openGL and a graphics card.

Don't you dare. gameplay shouldn't be confused with user interface. That means that hud view has nothing to do with the game story/ship type, it's just another way to allow a player to interface with a flat monitor better. And as for this righteous bs: I run it at 800x600, as my 32 mb...

I thought we were supposed to just post QA info with out debating each other's posts? How about thematically: NAV MAP Well, now that I have a 17" monitor I can stop whining that everyting is messed up on the screen :). But, how about if symbols for ships were replaced from the round...

I've noticed that it is always at the same price, 4995, if there is no damage, and it allows me to purchase it anyway. To make it more clear, you could rename it from 'basic repair' to 'complete' or 'total' repair. There's a way to see if ECM is on? How exactly?

I'm using a cvs VS binary (linux) within privateer, so maybe I'm missing the latest additions, but... 1. I can't read the damage screen in the MFD or no-cockpit view because of the background image of the ship beneath it. Like in this screen shot...

Wendy reported this problem as well. I have it every time in .9b linux. If you reload and try to use the tractor, it will work, but it doesn't draw the beam on screen. So it is the amazing invisible tractor. But after a fresh game start, the tractor beam will appear.

but, there is a difference between SQUADRON and FLIGHTGROUP. squadrons are unit designations for a group of air/space craft. Like a regiment for the army. but a flightgroup is just a group of air/space craft together for that particular sortie. So there shouldn't be any issue in using...

hey guys, sounds like great work on the repair system. I like Scavaneger's ideas, slower repair time in combat, faster otherwise. but I think 5 minutes per system is too long. Also, for the price difference, if it was that long there would really be no point in not just waiting for enough...
