Actually, for 1.0 per pixel lighting (not reflective, just specular) is the best option. I got used to the CVS .exe, which behaves differently there. Reflections are great, but in 1.0 if you have reflections you don't have specularity, and I prefer specularity. But it's a matter of taste. You...

In order of detail: Specular: just adds specularity, nothing fancy. Reflections disabled. Reflective: Reflections enabled. Specular Per pixel lighting: adds modulated specularity (partially specular) - not exactly what 3D jargon means by per pixel lighting, but looks nice. Reflective per...

It's just the stock market fluctuating. You're just without luck. I keep circling between New Detroit, Constantinople and Troy and found it several times in the way. Perhaps you should try that route. NOTE: Make stops in each system you go to.

Newer versions? I have 1.0 installed, and couldn't find the cvs... other than WCU.

Oh my... Paradigm! Extremely rare, but found it once. (I wish saving preserved that stuff... does it?)

I know they shelton. But it also stops you from using your thrusters. What I was saying is to turn off the compensators, but still be able to manually fire the thrusters, so you can fly manually.

In 1.0, I've seen repeatedly the Dryman for sale. So you can buy a Drayman, if you have the credits. I've seen also the demon, the original ones (tarsus, orion, centurion), and the talon.

That's not the flight engine, it's the inertial compensator. When you "turn off the engine", you're not turning it off. When you set speed to 0, you're telling your computer that you want to stop, so it fires the retro-thrusters. That's why it reads 'set', it's the intended speed. I'm...

Oh... but it will never fix the armor/hull. Those are only repairable while docked, and you have to pay for it.

You have to add a variable to the vegastrike.config to make it work. It's an omission in 1.0 that will be fixed in 1.1 (see the buglist thread) I think it's in section "physics": <var name="repair_drone_time" value="30"/>

I think what he meant is that doing so is somewhat cumbersome, when it should be an initial decision: "do you want to continue a saved game or start a new game?" Also, if you have a screwed up savegame (like I ended up several times), getting to a computer could be difficult. If the game...

That's the difference between atmospheric flight and inertial flight. I think it's ok. There just needs to be more commands to do the same yourself. Like a key to toggle strafe (instead of turning, sliding one direction or the other), disabling the inertial compensator, etc...

About the Joystick, I had the same problem (with a trustworthy ThrustMaster). It's the joystick's fault, not the game's, but the game can compensate. Take a look inside vegastrike.config, and find a variable, "deadband", in section "joystick". Set it higher, and you'll be ok. Of course...

Only it's not supposed to.

But in the original that wasn't possible. Messing with >2 cats was, at best, dangerous (if not suicide). I liked that, otherwise they wouldn't be so fearsome, would they? So I think it's a balance bug. Confed (and in general any buyable) ships can be upgraded too much. The autotracker is mostly...

I found something that'll make me rich, but I'll let you know anyway since I'm a honest person, and don't like taking advantage of impaired scripts: Sometimes the mission is, Take a load of Gems to Helen. And I'm in Helen. That's easy money, man. And it happened more than once. In a row...

That would rock, however. What use is there to have a fleet if you can't use the fleet?

A lot of it sounds similar to what I proposed in Dynamic Economy (only not dynamic), in that bases should have supply and demand. That would take care of 1, 2 and 3 (since making it realistic would imply creating supply and demand scalable to a whole planet like New Detroit, and that, I think...

I'm not saying that he doesn't have to try. I'm not showing pity either. All I'm saying is that he met with aggresiveness just a bit too soon, so it made him prone to react aggresively, and most of all, feel rejected. It's understandable. Perhaps if the subject had been approached...

I know. But I've seen this kind of writing while teaching in school, and while some of them write like this out of lazyness, some try real hard. And since we can't really know which case it is in upyr1's case, I think basic kindness should make people try to understand before attacking. For what...
