    Privateer 2 IMG File Problems

    To get your Dosbox (are you using DOSbox?) to know that you have a CD-ROM drive and where it is you need to type in a command that looks like mount d d:/ -t cdrom -usecd 1 -ioctl or similar

    Starlancer

    About stability.. ...back in the days when I used to play SL online, I found the no-cd patch to make the whole game run bettter.

    Privateer of my dreams

    I actually like Privateer 2 the best. The reasons include: -Great graphics for the locations. They're really exotic, and have a lot of backstory (all the great text in the database). -Randomly triggered cinematic non-plot missions. The way this was done, it made me play on and on because...

    The destruction of the Vesuvius

    Navy as in the ones running the ships, Eisen's branch? The pilots have different Lt ranks too, at least in WCP, where Casey, Maestro come aboard as 2nd Lts and Stiletto is a 1st Lt.

    Border Worlds Conflict

    I always understood it like that too.

    The Durango

    Yeah, fighter complement would be interesting to know. From what was seen in WCIV, I'd say it had no more than something 20ish fighters... But then the WCP Midway felt like it only had two dozen fighters either. ;)

    Wing Commander - Icons!

    -Characters (I'm thinking mostly of live-action Blair and Maniac in WC3, 4) -Gameplay, action, balance -Interactive story (decisions like whether to defect or kiss Rachael and different mission paths depending on your performance) -Cloaked enemy ships (nothing like 'seeing' where they're...

    Time Travel?

    Is there anything more to it than RT vs. round-based in computer games? I'm not so good at getting the subtleties in english texts...

    Is there a Kilrathi hell?

    In WCP they say something like "my ancestors are awaiting me" when you kill em.

    One thing's certain... They did NOT operate from Blue Point Station.

    Stuck in P2 :(

    Meeting Prochnow on Crius, during the dialogue you can choose whether to do his mission or not. Something like "sounds more than slightly illegal I don't like the sound of it" vs. "good enough chance to make a few quick ones why not". If you accept the mission (why shouldn't you?) your...

    Best Weapon Combo

    WCP's Piranha: Firing one two full guns shots at target, then switching to the Stormfire (or what was the name?) gun for a few shots, then quickly switching back to another full guns blast to finish the target off. "F", "G", "F" makes them go down rather quickly. Also like to charge that...

    Ser Arris' unofficial diary

    I've been a little busy the last month and after having played the last part of the main storyline lost a bit the interest. But I will write and post the endgame chapter at some point in the next days. Rhineheart-Nabakow-Kronos.

    Ser Arris' unofficial diary

    Ser Carmichael up to Rhineheart - - - - - - - - - The trip to Hephaestus included a rather large Kindred encounter. I had somehow anticipated an ambush and brought a Nuke'em bomb along. I didn't need it though, my own Flux Beams combined with the heavy guns of the beer-carrying Ilia MkII I...

    Sera Banks up to Ser Carmichael - - - - - - - - - After having my business on Hades finished, the situation I found myself in gave me a headache. So I didn't feel like heading straight for Bex and I rather checked the ads for some quick mission that's near to Hades and voila, I found one...

    Ser Arris' unofficial diary

    Ser Mitorr to Ser Hassan - - - - - - - - - The trip from Hermes to Janus IV saw no encounters worth mentioning. Landing on Janus and taking its equivalent to public transport was quite a sight. Talk about excessive terraforming, city planning and shiny chrome cabs. Knocking at Jan...

    Ser Shondi up to Ser Mitorr - - - - - - - - - The Surgeon's Blunder bar on Crius is a strange place. Who else would have his major drinking etablissement coloured white than a people of crazy doctors? And the group of dancers performing there all the time with their red organ or blood...

    Ser Arris' unofficial diary

    Ah looks like it's been cleared now. So I'll put in the other few chapters I've already finished and just have to be patient until someone makes them appear.

    Ser Arris' unofficial diary

    Still not working. "Won't be visible until a moderator has approved of its content." Couldn't an admin please give me the right to post longer messages? I'd really hate to break my chapters down into 20 different, short posts...
