I guess that's why the last space sim I bought was back in 2000. I did get freelancer but was sorely disappointed once I discovered it was 3rd person point n click. Funny, by making space "sims" this way they take the sim part right out of it and thus seem to miss the target audience.

This is a truly disturbing trend but one that has gained momentum over the past few years. The record industry would love to adopt this model but so far hasn't convinced the buying public, yet oddly enough it's the public's desire for "on demand" content that seems to be driving it. It only...

Yeah wouldn't seem to make sense to stop supporting it. Maybe it's for debugging, might be best to check ATI's support forum to see if they mention what's going on.

Argh, looks like another mouse based RPG in space. Are joysticks out of style these days?

Yes but it all comes down to how much time you have, you can get carried away and that can slow down production.

Well you can't have it both ways, too much choice may be bad but no choices at all can also be bad. I always liked games that give more control, there could always be a "default" setup if you just want to skip it and play the next mission. Games like mechwarrior IMHO had a good balance...

Just a thought but did you just install new video drivers? If so try going back to the old ones. I think the last build of the ATI drivers has a few Direct3D issues for old versions.

I find around 12k is good. You have take into account how the other ships are moving and try to avoid a direct hit.

Too bad there can't be a ship file/loadout editor that would work with standoff but not allow cheating. Then custom loadouts would be possible but there would have to be some way to confirm the loadouts when the sim or game loads up.

Hey like I said, I don't like losing :p And no I really don't.... Just put things off too long but I find when I'm stuck on a model blowing stuff up helps! :D

"Playing the whole game" is what you do when you have time to kill.

Hmm, well don't let that stop you, I get my best scores when I start playing off-line, guess when it doesn't count you can just relax and do better. Good luck.

I don't like losing, and I played the game on ACE, should go back and play it on nightmare... But I hate getting killed even more then losing. Maybe you guys could make a guide to the mission tree after Ep 5 comes out. :D As for the 16-bit mode, I just got a new vid card and am having issues...

I have getright going all the time when I play, I get the same thing as quarto, a long pause then I die. I haven't lost a score since the patch. Only lost scores I had before was when I beat wave 15 but the patch fixed that.

Sounds like your vid card. Try 16-bit mode.

I think the weapon blasts would pretty much stay the same. I don't remember them being different in privateer.

Yeah I had to get out the beastwars DVD with the interview to remember the address. I had it bookmarked at one time but alas I didn't make enough backups. Anyway here's the site: http://www.detonationfilms.com/ See this page below for the stock footage, have to scroll down past the stuff about...

Sorry just a little gun shy I guess, well it IS a VERY useful site for anyone hoping for their show to come to DVD, has show voting and alot of other things. For example a list of changes from what was aired on TV and whether those add or take away from the show. You can even leave messages...

Man that's horrible news. :( He was really good on B5 and trek, he always had this clam collected way about him that gave the characters something extra, sometimes made the aliens more likeable then the main cast :)

Yeah it doesn't have to be part of the plot although if the game is as good as the artwork looks I don't think walking around would really be so bad. But my point was easter eggs can be fun, they could be hidden on bases and not be part of the main plot, maybe restrict walking around on bases to...
