Just bought a sealed copy on E-bay (came with even the registration card, but the manual is on pdf) It loads up, doesn't quite recognize my CH flightstick and can't recognize the built-in sound. I'm thinking of trying to scare up an old soundblaster somewhere. Anyone have any experience...

On the other hand, I just flew to where the contact is supposed to be and he was there, talking with me. Sandoval's ghost lingered teh entire game, I've even had to deal with him distorting the visage of others who sit at his table (though I got their messages and missions). Now that I've...

in the original Privateer you either had to blow everyone away or thruster past the jump point, 180, then fly into the incoming fighters and break them off to force them to evade and swerve back just to make a safe jump. I rarely got dinged enough to worry, just zipping in on full AB and...

Did retros ever really roll over in alignment/friendliness? ////////////// You know you play too much when you check both bulletin boards for updates.

If you have already done his missions, just go forward in the game as if he were not there -- consider him a ghost if he reappears. I had him reappear on me, made the misstep of talking to him after I knew he was dead, ran the mission, figured out that it was an echo or a dead end, and went...

He just appears sometimes. Don't talk to him and you can ignore him. Otherwise, you can get lots and lots of artifacts that you can't sell. If you try to dump just one, they all go. If you ignore him, he isn't a problem in RF gameplay.

in the various betatest versions the save games kept going smoothly and cleanly. However, just finished up the RF smuggling, the bounty hunter, the oxford and the military missions and all I get at Oxford is a blank screen (when he should say, now my friend has heard about you and you can...

http://wcuniverse.sourceforge.net/downloads.htm That explains that. It was released, I just had the wrong url to refer to.

If they've statted it out correctly, lasers are very, very efficient! Neat.

Did not know that save and load would make them disappear and go back to the kind of state that the original game used. I was thinking more of spawning massive enemy problems or flying off to Oxford and taking retro hunting missions until the militia was friendly again.

I thought turrents did not draw from your reactor power pool. Guess I'll have to check that.

I used to refer to that potential configuration as the Galaxy gunship ;) Potent as heck. BTW, why laser turrents and not tachyon turrents?

Biggest problem is the drug running missions, if you refuse to kill militia (and I refuse to), then you can leave them like a host of mosquitos ... but there are solutions.

Yep, just run some place where they get distracted tangling with the neighbors ...

It appears that you've not gone to the refinery planet and instead are trying to kill the infinite amount of demons that will spawn. To to the refinery, pick up the missions there, in the end you will have taken care of the issues blocking you out.
