    Lego Arrow Zooms In (March 18, 2023)

    Yes, and again my fault: I compared the Armada Arrow to the Armada Banshee ... but yes, the quote of Plier points to the Border Worlds Banshee. I would still fly the Arrow... It would be great if you could fly the Arrow in the Wing Commander 4 Remastered version. It was not possible in the...

    Happy birthday Chris, I didn't know that your birthday is in March, too. My birthday is on 9th March ;-)

    Comparing Privateer to Its Earlier Builds (March 13, 2023)

    No problem, I certainly didn't misunderstand either. After all, we've been in contact for... ... for over 23 years. Time sure flew by, didn't it? And I'm 41 in the meantime... so also an "old hand"... Yes, the Test Bed is always a niec place to go. And it doesn't have asteroids 😁 ... as far as...

    Lego Arrow Zooms In (March 18, 2023)

    Nice model and yes, I think the biggest problem is the canopy ... the form just doesn't feel right as it's too round. Anyway, it's always nice to see my most favorite ship in the news! Keep up the good work! Edit: The side view and top view of the model look really great! Oh and one more thing...

    Comparing Privateer to Its Earlier Builds (March 13, 2023)

    Thank you! I'll keep on searching to find the secret jump point... Oh... and one more thing (to say it with Blair's words: It's Rylex (comes from Alex) ;)

    Comparing Privateer to Its Earlier Builds (March 13, 2023)

    I just changed my Centurion to fly 14,000 kps... by changing the game data for testing purposes. I would have liked the ship to be faster than 1,000 or 1,170 (Righteous Fire). Here are pictures of the TestBed sector...

    Privateer Logical Map

    So far, I have bad news as I've not yet found the old jump point that I found 10 years ago. But I've taken a look at the game data itsself and modified the RF.TRE files. Yeah, sure it's no problem to get a Centurion flying 14.000 kps or faster 😁 ... but that's not the point. So as you might...

    Privateer's Unused Noses (March 6, 2023)

    Thank you Chris and Ben, I've received a response and I hope I can find what I'm looking for. It was indeed a great birthday surprise! ;) If I ever find the hidden jump points again (as I did in 2012)... the CIC and the forum will be the first to know. By the way: I don't have Discord and I...

    For me it's more shocking that you still haven't had the time to answer my short private message concerning Privateer...

    Wing commander : Maverick Trailer

    Great work - I love it! ;) I've been to the cinema 9 times (yes, nine times) to see Top Gun Maverick last year. It's my absolute most favorite movie! It just can't get any better... so I hope they won't publish a third part...

    Privateer Logical Map

    I wanted to give you a short update about my search. So far I've had no luck with finding the other hidden jumppoints BUT I've learned something that I did not know up to now. This news is about NAVIGATION in Privateer. So, you all know the Nav Screen that you get when pressing "n". And perhaps...

    Righteous Fire Takes Out the Big Guns (January 31, 2023)

    Normal Steltek Gun (Privateer): Damage: 10.0 cm Energy Use: 19 GJ Refire: 0.45 sec Speed: 1175 kps Boosted Steltek Gun (Privateer): Damage: 19.0 cm Energy Use: 17 GJ Refire: 0.37 sec Speed: 1250 kps When I played the game first in my youth, I used Tachyon Cannons. In 2008, I used Tachyons on...

    Righteous Fire Takes Out the Big Guns (January 31, 2023)

    Did you notice that the Retros Fusion Cannons sound really strange? They definitely do not sound like a Fussion Cannon... it nearly sounds like a "poor quality" PC speaker sound. Weird... I just heard it while playing through Righteous Fire. I see it like Wedge and always thought it should be...

    Read All About Gemini Sector Changes Between Privateer and Righteous Fire (January 27, 2023)

    I'm still looking for the hiden jump points but so far I didn't find the two that I've found when playing the game 10 years ago. I know that one leads to Perry and it is somewhere between the jump points (or even at the edge of the map) but I've not found it so far. When I jumped through it and...

    Privateer Logical Map

    For those of you, who haven't found these two jump points yet. Here's a short description. Rikel to Eden jump point: - Go to Rikel Nav 4 (Vishnu Mining Base) - Open nav map and select Nav 5 (Jump to 44-P-IM) - Use autopilot when ready - Autopilot will then stop you at the edge of the asteroid...

    Privateer Logical Map

    Status update: I've played through the original Privateer and will soon start with Righteous Fire. So far, I've not found any hidden jump points in the original version. I've now flown 200 missions and saved 1.5 million credits (not cheated) to equip my Righteous Fire Centurion right from the...

    Privateer Logical Map

    At the moment I'm at the first Blockade Mission in the Palan system. I've taken a look at the Perry system yesterday (normal Privateer NOT RF) and so far I've not found the jump point. I'm curious if it really only exists in Righteous Fire. I'll play through the game and keep you updated. At the...

    Happy New Year! (January 1, 2023)

    So true! The Gladius was quite good but it had too little guided missiles. Yeah I know: "Some of us are able to aim, Maniac!" (said Blair to Maniac in WC4 when they were told that they could only use Dart Dumbfire missiles for a mission)... 🤣 Arrow had two Dart missiles... taking down a Kor-larh...
