Because that would be very, very much non-canon? It's a trashhauler. It's not supposed to have good weapons. And I don't remember it having very good ones in the original, too.

Bug #4: When buying new ship and stripping my Tarsus for cash, I discovered that you have an infinite supply of guns... As in, sell them, switch to the Gladius, check the sheet, find the guns are there, sell them, 'buy' the Gladius again, and they're back again!

*looks at False Colors on his shelf* Been thinking of rereading it anyway...

Sweet! *salivates*

The point defense lasers, in other words?

*jaw drops* Nice screenshot, Quarto.

What do you mean by sensible? Accurate? Closer to Privateer? Closer to VS?

The first new role can be filled pretty well by the Gladius, which, not being a top-of-the-line Confed fighter, makes sense to be sold to trustworthy Privateers (like all of us)... It's actually pretty maneuverable, though it can't carry enough missiles (surprise, surprise). Balanced and an...

Okay, random encounters I can live with. They're unpleasant, but then, so is life, sometimes. Bug #1, though, is not due to 'random encounters'. And I just confirmed that it's not just with non-escorted Draymen, because I hit one with a one-ship escort... and the target was actually a...

That sounds like a bug.

Look for a line in the mission description that says 'shiptype.blank', that's the target. The last line is the number of escorts, or absent if there are no escorts.

Third, the game still seems to have some problems with the concept of an 'unescorted' target. I go in to hit a Talon that the mission description says is alone and there's at least three of them at the jump point... and at least one of the 'extras' was in the same flightgroup as the target.

Okay, I've dowloaded the game and started playing... and run into a few new bugs for you to squash. First of all, sometimes, when I take a 'Bounty-Pirate Capship' mission, I'm not after a Drayman but a Talon... with a Drayman in the background. The Drayman is not, repeat, NOT the bounty...

Hellcat, how much tweaking did the .exe take to get Privateer from VS, out of curiousity?

One of the Mars probes, actually. The launch tubes may have been an unacceptable design compromise, Atekimogus. Also, remember, other carriers are designed to operate in battlegroups, not as lone wolves like the Bengals. Because of that, they don't necessarily need to launch fighters as...

I really wish I could answer that. I really do. But Tolwyn would kill me... #1, under current builds, you can't do it. Not to say that the SCP couldn't modify it, but I double-checked this one with a coder, and no, you can't at the moment. As for what they may or may not have planned, I...

Voices will be in by the end of the weekend, Starman. And like I said, I'm not bothering you guys about it because I know darn well you're busy.

Never mind. Obviously, the idea of analysis from established fact looking for underlying principles is lost on some people.

Shut up, please. This is a serious discussion on philosophy and the nature of morality. Delance, I see your point now, and the reasoning behind it. My apologies for the misunderstanding. Criticalmass, you just kicked over an ant hill...
