    Enabling Autoslide?

    To use the autoslide function for the purpose of doing the shelton slide is a very nice feature. If it is abused, then that's another matter. There is no reason to substract features to adhere to the original. Those who don't want to use a function key do not have to and use only the features...

    Speech Pack?

    I agree with Cyberion. Components And the full.

    My first impressions.

    Ok, ok. Yeah, yeah, I meant the cockpit view. I love the cockpit view. :) fooey on the Hud view. I guess I was using the terms backwards. Please keep the instrument only (HUD) view. I cut my Privateer teeth with the old school view, but with the new view, I don't know why anyone...

    Repair cost and computation and other 1.0 obs

    True, I could get a jumpr drive and go out of the system but I'm just starting out and I'm sure I'll die if I do. But all three bases have a lot of upgrades including some unaffordable guns and fancy smancy stuff. Why not have a simple afterburner for the Tarsus? Especially if one needs it...

    My first impressions.

    I agree, more signs to show how fast you're going would be great. Hard to tell right now compared to the orig. Also, it would be nice to start flight with the cockpit view versus the HUD view as the default. I know people use it. Personally, I would prefer defaulting it to cockpit view.

    Very few cargo runs and faction problems

    This is a poor analogy. Seeing a movie in a stream of bits is unintelligible whereas a numeric value of +50 in the context is meaningful in that it tells you that you're liked by a faction somewhere half-way between neutral (0) or very much (100). A better analogy would be, "if someone...

    Talon armor and speed

    It still like the 1.0 pre in terms of talon strength than 9b. By far.

    The price of grain

    Ah, that makes sense. I'm not saying its bad. Its different and I wanted to know why. Thanks.

    Repair cost and computation and other 1.0 obs

    No, it does not appear I have an afterburner eventhough I have the sound. But none are for sale either anywhere in Troy! Will the 'known issue' be fixed in the 1.0 rel.? Not a big deal I guess. Yes, it looks like the repair amount is different sometimes. Once I saw it for 7000. But...

    Very few cargo runs and faction problems

    If I understand correctly, you want to substitute the numbers for a representative literal? Correct? I'm not sure if I like it all that much. I'd rather see a number since there is gradation and you can see how much you're loved or villified. Converting a numeric value to a word loses the...

    WinXP .9b: How do you see your mission list?

    Once you've accepted a mission, if you go back into the mission computer, it'll say the number of active mission, but there is no way to view what you've accepted as far as I know.

    Observations with Pre 1.0

    My system froze up just a second when the game was materializing a Talon pirate, which was part of a random mission. I show up at the location, but he is not there. I wait around and press a few buttons, and then my system just froze for just a second before the battle ensued. So, even though...

    Talon armor and speed

    Well, not being the best pilot in Gemini, I can't say its too easy, but it is easier to blow up a Talon in 1.0 than in .9b. I think its just right and close to the original. I'm playing in Medium mode.

    Repair cost and computation and other 1.0 obs

    I got banged up and needed to be repaired. I finally raised 10,000 necessary to get my radar fixed and whatever else. I started with a balance of 15,330.02. After I bought the repair ship option, instead of having 5,330.02 left, I had 6,330.02 left. So it cost me 9000 not 10000. Is this a...

    The price of grain

    Is the pricing of commodities supposed to be like the original? It looks like it based on the Privateer Playtester's guide, but some numbers seem a little off, like for grain for example. I bought it for 6.xx and sold for 21.xx. that's a huge profit. for generic food, it looks like the buy...
