Hey Guys!
First off thanks for this great game you made...... it always sets a tear in my Eye everytime i play it.... i always dreamed of that.... Priv in HiRes....
HellcatV was so kind to give me the DL Link for 1.0pre5.....
I´m running this Game in 1280x1024, extreme Details, full audio, VBO, 1 GB Ram, Joystick Control 3 Axis /w Throttle.
i hope i´ve posted nothing you already know and you are mad about to be noticed
I tested it a few hours and have some first Notes on it....
1. Startup.....
The Screen goes loaded with colorful jitter approx every 4th time i starting the game.
The first two Startups the Intromovie was played. The later Starts it wasn´t (maybe because i quit the game right out of space)
2. The Intromovie
Waaaaay of slow..... like the base screens in the Game.
The lower Edge of the Text isn´t visible.
3. The Bases in Troy
If i remember it right Achilles had a Merchant Guild and a Mercenaries Guild don´t i?
4. The Ship Dealer
I wasn´t able to buy an Afterburner for five to six Missions because it maybe hadn´t been ramdomly generated at the Ship dealers in Troy...... (maybe i´m wrong ´bout this Point) (Maybe the Ship Dealers in Troy could be outfitted with a constant amount of Inventory)
A Button with "Damaged Things" would be great....... and btw what function has the "Basic Repair" Option anymore while i can fix everything by clicking through the inventory?
As you wrote in "todo.txt" Stats of Missles Ecm etc...... It would be great if they were displayed behind the installed Parts (esp. Missles)
There is also something strange about the Ammunition.....
If i buy Heatseakers and mount them in an hold already loaded with something different - randomly the missiles i bought or the ones that were already installed disappear.
5. The Ships
I recognized that the Size of the Ships doesn´t compare to each other. I mean especially the Galaxy vs. the Tarsus.
Is it possible to show the Galaxy bigger on the landingpad and at the Shipdealer?
6. Movement in Space
Especially the Tarsus is a hell of a bath tub..... Could it be made a little more agile?
During a fight the Ship slows down to speeds below 80 KPS and is a sitting duck because of that...... man i killed a lot of pirates an retros in original Priv with my Tarsus but here i get a hot bottom by fighting just two talons......
7. The Weapons
I might be wrong but the weapons are as slow as in .9 aren´t they?
I am only hitting ships for sure when i can see the little Sticker on ´em that says "if you could read tihs.....(you know that)"
8. The Shields
Is the effect of starting with uncharged shields desired? If so it is alright. If not so ..... ist it possible to change this so that you can start with full charged shields?
9. The Displays
While flying the Galaxy the infos on the MFD´s about distance and the targets name got over the edges of the MFD.
10. The Joystick
I noticed while fighting that the Z-Axis changed.....it is funny...... it is like in a real filght sim..... If you fly head down (to an imagined suface) the Z-Axis acts opposite to flying head up.
Did anyone notice that too?
11. Some Questions
Have you deactivated the other Ships for Purchase in this version? (Talon, Demon, etc....)
In .9 i was able to autopilot through Asterois Fields with Cloaking Device activated..... i didn´t try it yet... was it fixed?
In the Manual there are described some different Kinds of outfits for the ships. Is this a planned feature or did i miss something?
Also the links in the manual...... is the Database described to come or is it history?
so now....... that´s all for the moment
Thank you again BIG TIME for this great Game!!!!!
