    Privateer 2

    As best as I have tried, P2 won't work under XP, at least on my system--but that could be because of my ATI video card. If you wanna try it on yours, download the P2 for Windows patch from the CIC files, make a shortcut on your XP desktop to DARK.EXE, right-click on the new icon and select...

    Running Privateer/rf/armada/pg In Windows: Howto

    Now that myjemm.exe is available, why is this thread still open?

    Dreadnoughts

    Many carrier drydocks and support stations were planetary-based, so on the ground they'd have all the space they needed to create a vessel of any size.

    Favorite fighter from WC3\4

    I guess you decided to use the flash-pak on the Ella superbase, or opted not to use it on the big V. Otherwise, you'd have been in a Dragon on that mission.

    New Capship

    I guess it's a good way to rack up posts and move up in rank :rolleyes:

    Hidden Privateer missions?

    This is something I've been wondering about for years, and some technical posts about P1 in another thread reminded me. There seems to be a dozen or so hidden piratical missions in P1/RF; if you look near the end of RF.TRE, there are several text strings that appear to be random conversations...

    New Capship

    LOL yes, it's surprising how long this thread has lasted. Makes me feel bad that I haven't contributed anything thus far..... (sarcasm drips)

    Kilrathi Saga Question

    Download the zip files, then run the executable file (for example, SO1inst, SM1inst.) A dialogue box pops up in Windows and will install the game. Each add-on game runs independently, so you won't be running them from the main KSaga menu.

    Dreadnoughts

    According to the CIC database, the dreadnought has 15 laser turrets and possible additional (classified) weapons. It doesn't have any anti-matter guns though, IIRC.

    Computer game quotes

    Yeah, I've heard something like that too...it's just so rare that he ever knocks out a capship component. Maybe he's usually in an escort role; I never really paid attention.

    Tiger's Claw death

    Casey sure did get all the credit; it's almost like the Midway crew were out to make a legend outta him, even though it was the first game you had dozens of other pilots on your wing who deserved as much credit. In WC3, after Angel died, I must have iced 25+ ships with one lone (useless)...

    Most shocking WC moment

    Speaking of easter eggs, has anyone ever heard the rumor of one in the Peleus jammer missions in WC4? I'd read about it somewhere several years ago, but was never able to find anything.

    WC 2 Special Ops 1

    Yeah, this mission gave me much trouble the first time around also. My biggest problem was that my target track usually was destroyed after I fought off the Imperial Guard Jalkehi, so I couldn't launch torpedoes. Once the Ralatha is destroyed, the Grikath aren't a problem because (at least...

    Favorite Fighter WC1 and 2

    Punching through phase shields has nothing to do with ship mass. Throughout the WC games there has been a technology race between fighter-mounted weapons and shields. In WC1 the race was virtually neck and neck, so capship shields could withstand a great deal of punishment but could be...

    Favorite fighter from WC3\4

    The Dragon became available fairly soon after the Bearcat was, so most players probably figured why go for the B-cat when you could get the auto-track with the Dragon, along with better shields, burners, weaponry, cloak technology, ...

    What happens to the cat daddy?

    Fleet Action gave Tolwyn a good guy image too. At the end of FC they at least tried to hint that things were going downhill for him.

    Hotel bomb blast shook Jakarta last Tuesday

    It wasn't shut down, just moved to the Off-Topic section. Perhaps the same will be done with this one eventually.

    Privateer 2 - Is it Wing Commander?

    OOOPS - that's what I get for typing too fast. As I said this argument will probably never end, no matter how foreign my views may be to the masses. If WC were all one big cut-n-dry movie, then yes, my "speculative arguments" would be null and void if they contradicted concrete facts...
