Um...just an update. This little project is not dead, it's just in a state of suspension since I have a lot of schoolwork to do. Anyway, most everything I wanted to do (much of what's here and some other stuff as well) was completed about a week ago, and that's when I last tested it. I...

Yup, I totally agree. A more visibly dynamic economy is something I was thinking of working on, although I have to warn you that it will not be well-received by the majority of the community here (too divergent to be included in a 'proper' remake). Nonetheless, I did want to work on it and...

You can't make friends with Retros. Best way to improve standing with a faction is to kill it's enemies. Just keep killing Retros and eventually everyone (except the freaks) will like you, though it'll take a while and will make the game rather pointless and boring. I usually keep...

They fit on more heavily defended ships like the Orion. Don't worry, the Centurion is as mean as you can get in Privateer Remake (well..as soon as we balance that Demon). You don't need level 5 shields to lay waste to squadrons of pirates and kilrathi. You can switch to turret view to command...

Okay, ignore this post I'm using it to get help on my code :) Problem solved, wait till my next problem :)

Haha, I'm a moron. The reason it wasn't getting shown was because I had the file I was working on named dynamic_mission_b.py (i.e. the original file was being loaded instead of the modified one). Once I did that, it worked out fine. So that's done and matched up, simple and easy...

Well, can you abort the mission and re-take it later? Usually you can, but sometimes you can't... Wait. I think you can always abort it, but sometimes you can't refuse it...

Finish the mission, then buy the new ship. The artifact should have transferred, however. Anyway, do that and tell us if you still have any problems.

Don't be embarassed, these things happen! It took me a while to figure out as well, honestly (been a while since I used linux or anything non-windows for that matter).

Keep'em coming, Ace. The Few. The Proud. The Easily Amused.

I was sitting in class last night, and someone said something really stupid (don't remember what). I grinned and looked his way, then thought to myself..."Monkey boy, you make me laugh!"

The Paradigm has 100000, though I think that may be a bug.

Alright, if you say so. Currently, the maps are presented as quadrants (1/4th of a sector), so I was actually upping the scale. My only concern was that when you view the "full map" it's a pretty big map...took some time for the graphic to load. Now, I don't really have a problem waiting for the...

Let's see if I can come up with a generally acceptable list. First Menu button would be 'Map' so that you can switch back to it. I think that the default display for it should be an entire sector (4 quadrants), no more. Users should then be able to indicate preference for viewing the...

I think that the system/planet type indicator already deals with that. But you're right, there needs to be a more clearly defined theme and evident trend with respect to ships appearing in an area. I would think (guessing) that the dynamic universe module would address this, or maybe...
