    New HUD Target Images

    For the New HUD Target Images, do they enchance the hub images for the Privateer Remake 1.0? I installed the files and I didn't see any difference.

    Enslave/Free Slaves, Hitchhikers

    I'm not clear on the concept of enslaving and freeing slaves. In the original game if you use your tracker beam to pull in a pilot, you can automatically sell the pilot as a slave at the market. So how does this work in the remake? If tracker beam a pilot into the ship what do you do...

    Is Righteous Fire in the remake?

    Are the Righteous Fire (RF) missions and RF ship upgrades in the remake? Do I have to finish the original missions first in order access the RF upgrades? Or can I buy these RF upgrades in the original missions?

    Your first Wing Commander game?

    What was the first Wing Commander game you played? I remember the first Wing Command game I played was Wing Commander II on my 386 with just the PC speakers. Eventually I did get a 8 bit sound card later on and I was knocked off my feet when the character started to talk! The game was...

    Thoughts on the new nav map

    Yes it works, but it's ugly. My suggestions: -Go back to the original grid map and use smaller coloured symbols for the space stations, jump gates and planets. -Use contrasting colours for the text and buttons so it's more readable. (Eg. black/white) -Don't crowd up the text. I...

    Thoughts on the new nav map

    I have to comment on the new nav system. The symbols representing the planets and jump gates look very large and chucky---like playschool shapes. It was not a wise decision to use white texts on light grey buttons because it makes it impossible to read. I have to admit the original nav...

    Difference between the armor and hull?

    For the ship there are two features that can be improved: the armor and the hull. What is the difference between the armor and hull? In the original game you could just purchase armor for the ship and that was it.

    The Proper Remake?

    Personally I think there should be two versions of Privateer. One with the improved features found in version 1.0. The second version will be close to the original as possible. That way both parties for and against the changes will be happy.

    Where's the PDA?

    In the original privateer there's a PDA where you can access it on the stations. At the start you could create yourself a callsign. In the game you could view your cargo, credits and save/load game. What happen to this in this remake?

    High Res = Small Screen

    When I set to a high resolution 1024x768 I get a small screen size when I'm inside a space station, or world. The colour is set at 32bit full screen. The screen is normal size when I'm in space. How can I make the screen larger at a high resolution?

    Run All Old WC Games in DOSBox Walkthrough

    I figured out how to get the CD Privateer running in DOSBox using D-Fend V2. 1) Copy the files from the CD into the desire directory. (Eg. c:\privater) 2) Run the install.exe to configure the music and speech. For music choose the general midi. For speech choose the soundblaster. Save...

    Displaying IP Addresses

    I just notice on these forums that the IP addresses for each member are displayed openly. I don't think it's wise to have the recorded IP address displayed like this for security reasons.

    Loading the game is very slow

    Do you know where I can get the older drivers? The Nvidia website only has the lastest version of 71xx. UPDATE: It seems the drivers were the issue. I had to downgrade to Omega Forceware 66.93 and the game runs smoothly. You would have thought that new would mean better.

    Is the delay normal when I'm at the launch pad? UPDATE: I figured out my issue.

    Loading the game is very slow

    I just installed the game and when I try and run it takes a very long time to load up. I get the splash window up and then I can see the status where each file is being loaded. (Eg. Warp00x.jpg) But this takes two minutes per file. I eventually get to the main launch pad but everything...
