I've made a list of all systems and their bases available for download at: www.asciisector.net/extra.html

I'm not really sure where I'd add that in the game. It seems too much for the Quine4000 to display. I suppose I could have the 'm' key bring up a systems map when you're on a base, but I just don't like adding things like that to the game, without having them explained within the game world...

I thought about maybe adding that for 0.2, but then I decided to just make a reference map for people to print out. You can download it at: www.asciisector.net/extra.html But maybe you're talking about something else? Like showing where in a system your mission takes place?

Well, if you use the 'l'ook feature it shouldn't be too much of a hassle to find your contact character.

You can. The missions in your Quine4000 are all that will be affected.

The most important changes are 5 new systems, 8 new bases, and the ability to hire a wingman from a bar. Download it here: www.asciisector.net/download.html

I suppose you're right... :)

I'm kinda surprised we don't see those kinds of engines more often -- game engines that are scalable, so the game will play on older computers as well. Wouldn't it potentially widen the costumer base if new games didn't necessarily require top-of-the-line systems from the consumer?

That should be possible in Ascii Sector as well, so that's a bug. I'll check it out... EDIT: I just tested two patrol missions in the same system and using the same nav points. Both had Pirate encounters and the only thing I noticed was that sometimes a misson objective in one of the patrol...

Well, if you're really cold-hearted, you can just jettison him into space... EDIT: For the next version I'll probably just have passengers disembark the next time you land if their mission has expired.

That's correct. I'll consider adding this info to the manual.

Are you sure that there were fixer missions where you had to deliver the item or message to the base you were on? I've never experienced this and I just checked the code for generating fixer missions -- when the code selects which system to deliver to, it checks that the system isn't the one...

That is absolutely hilarious! :D

Definitely good news. I need an excuse to buy a new computer and when this game is done, it could be that excuse! :D

I've released version 0.1.3. Most bugs should be fixed by now -- if you discover a bug, please post it at the forums. Also, how does one go about getting added to the Fan Projects page? :)

Thanks everybody! :)

Not exactly a list, but bugs are reported in the Bug Reports forum at www.asciisector.net. The most serious bug right now is one that crashes the game when saving -- however, only one player is having that bug so far.

A few bugs remain in the game, but it's fairly stable and definitely playable, so I've decided to release the game. Download it here: www.asciisector.net/download.html

Gotta agree with all the Pink Floyd love. Their albums are those strange sort that you can go years without listening to, then all of a sudden rediscover them and their genius.

Hey, another Wing Commander fan project from Denmark! :D
