All demons have Autotracking? Things make more sense now... I'll go check out the other gear they have... hmm. "template" demon: Double-rack of heatseekers on one missile slot, 10 proton torps on the other (not possible with buyable demon). They've also got a miniscule moment of inertia...

A demon with 4 lasers and good aim is still a scary thing... hose those 4 lasers into something and you've got a nearly-infinite stream of fire, just devestating if you can keep connecting. Even a stock Drayman will (eventually) fall.

Looks good... but the torpedo wasn't around before the Action Stations timeline... unless there was other massive tube-fired ordinance laying around it'd be more of a bolt-on affiar, I think.

I'm not encountering any wierd damage effects, other than my stuff never gets damaged... the only time I take hull damage I'm dead three seconds later so there isn't time to notice anything screwy. On the other hand, I am seeing the "friendly enemy" effect and it's not making me happy. In...

recovering cargo: if you accidentally eject the Artifact during a mission, it comes back in as Space Salvage. Is there a way to get it IDed, or does the game track it as being the artifact anyway and you shouldn't worry about it, or does it even matter if you have the Artifact with you?

There's something this pack begs for: multiplayer. It'd be cool to have 10-40 player servers for persistent universe gameplay, or even better some way to implement chosen equipment and locations for confed v. kilrathi brawls. I've got no clue where to start here, but I'm looking.

I play with ambient factor set to 50. :) That said, if I have to be conformist and stick to what you're offering I'll take the 75.

Yeah, I ask because I've played a game or two where autotracking aimed for the current location of the ship, and the one time I installed an autotracking gun in the Remake I got something that actually curved in space, apparently to track the target (never got a chance to use it in combat...

the "match speed" function won't allow you to catch boxes, as you're never going faster than the box and will simply maintain the same distance. Hasn't the dev team already said that was going to be removed/fixed in the next release?

Try getting in closer... it only shows up as a little dot until you're within 1KM or so, then it gets real big real fast. How does autotracking work, anyway? Does it aim for the ITTS, or where the ship is right then, or do the shots actually curve to follow your target?

umm... the jump bubbles in Privateer are just virtual representations of the area in close proximity to the jump point where you can successfully use your jump drive. If you were looking at it without your HUD, you'd probably see normal space, not a glowy blue thing. I don't recall the...

If the price difference between the two isn't anything great, get the Audigy2... I dont think I've spoken to anyone recently who doesn't consider it the pinnacle of consumer audio right now.

I second the thought on the nose being a bit cone-ish, but it should be easy to fix. The rest of the model definitely has quality and class though.

I wish more people wrote fanfic of this caliber.

re: packing 1000 kilrathi into a Dorkathi: setting upper and lower limits Dorkathi holds cargo in 3 pods. Eyeballing, they seem to be between 50 and 60 feet long, and between 10 and 15 feet wide. Using the wonderful V=pi*r^2*h formula, this produces an interior volume of between 3925 and...

I smell exploit... but a reasonably useful one when cargo hauling with ye olde Tarsus.

The only reason I'm flying a demon right now is because I can't afford a centurion. Honestly, the tedium of flying from point A to point B through an asteroid field that can't actually kill you makes a fast ship a necessity. However, I think that the new pair of ships creates a great sense of...

Actually it just looks like something useful for internal reference. ABC.X, where A is the mission series, BC is the order of mission play, and X is the version of the mission. I dont remember the success tree so if there's not a branch across t'lan meth and h'hrass we'll have to find...

I seem to remember something similar (only loading one missile to a hardpoint). I've never had firing issues, though. I'll have to check if this is recent - I havent used real missiles for three or four releases, since ive always been a proton torp fanatic.

Since there seems to be some confusion Marine Carriers are probably similar in concept to the American LHA series (first ship named... drumroll please... Tarawa). www.tarawa.navy.mil Big, nasty, very good at what it does which is carry around lots of angry jarheads until they get a chance...
