The UBW couldn't afford the newer capships but there were capships before that (which confed phased out a while ago) which sport big guns. Would AMGs and PTCs still be effective despite being considered by confed to be obsolete (like everything else the UBW has) :D

The top 40 in the UK is currently so poor that I spend more time listening to radio 4 than radio 1. Womans hour during the week tends to be better than 99% of the current playlist. I'm 17 for Christ's sake, radio 1 is meant to remain enertaining for at least another 6-7 years. I spent several...

well, yes, I understand that a prop like this would be very collectible, but its nothing in comparison to the animatronic kilrahti sold a few months ago. Although the price of the gun is not much in comparison:)

Yeah, $1000. Is anyone actually going to buy that? I often get that feeling when I look at the wing commander bids on Ebay when someone tries to sell WC1 on floppy disc for £12.99.

In WCP and Secret Ops Well I use the Nav Map a lot. I don't know how I managed to beat Secret Ops in nightmare without in. If I'm flying a devastator I try to go for the capship first. First I take out the engine to prevent it escaping (particularly useful with transports). Then i find the...

Yeah, the ion engines sure do look pretty, although if I was fighting giant cats/giant bugs/pirates in space I think I'd like something with a little more push. Going back to the original topic (mmmmmm drifting), there is a prop gun from the film on E-bay...

Seems a bit mean. My girlfriend loves the Sims and also Crash Bandicoot. She doesn't really fit into the classic gamer mould though. I've never really seen the point myself. I played Sim City 2000 for a while but just got board. After all, theres nothing to kill.

I'd quite like seeing a return to the older style of dogfighting with a relatively small number of ships in every engagement. WCP and WCSO were fun but it just feels somewhat silly for 1 confed fighter (the player) destroy 40+ ships in one mission. I'd prefer to have a less powerful ship and...

Unless you are using mouse control in WC3. If you're using a mouse then you have to click then hold down the right mouse button, which means you can't change direction at the same time:mad: But apart from WC3 (mouse mode) it is always TAB

Personally I prefer to pilot with a mouse. This is partictularly good for WCP and WCSO. It allows incedible accuracy and range of movement. I own a joystick but I've never been able to get used to it. If you do decide to use a mouse then it may be worth investing in an optical mouse as they...

I do own all three games. I just wanted the lovely shiny manuals and various other books. I don't have any of the documentation that came with the games so it is kind of logical (although not very). However, £50 is a bit steep for three games that I could buy for £10 fairly easily. AND those...

Thanks Jochen. The software Savings link was exactly what i was looking for. That copy of KS was beautiful. Apart from not being in the original cellophane wrapping it was pretty much perfect. I would have paid the money if I'd had it. On the minus side, my girlfriend and my friends would...

Does anyone know where I could find a copy of Priv 2 in the UK? I keep tabs on the UK Ebay but the game is pretty rare around here. I remember that someone once posted a site that sold the game in the UK but I've managed to lose the link. If anyone has any ideas I'd be really grateful...

My favourite has always been the Charging Mass Driver from WCP. The only problem is that the gun can inflict so much damage it almost feels unfair. I've always preferred taking my time lining up a nice clear shot before firing. The main drawback is that you have to wait for the gun to charge...

Thanks Chris, but when I click on the link it comes up as a 404. Is the address abbreviated?

Is there anywhere I can find online system maps for privateer 1? Thanks

Yoda just has the walking stick to claim disability benefits.

Fantastic! Thanks ghost. Privateer now runs fully with sound and mouse support. Unfortunately privateer does not seem to want to stay installed. When I try to run the game after restarting the system I get the "can't find JEMM overlay file" message. I can only play the game after...

The VMM32.VXD is the file that my PC seems to associate with legacy audio and mouse drivers. I've made the changes you've suggested. I've copied all of the data I can find onto the HD. Its the CD version so there's about 170mb in total (RF is included). Should I try to run the game from the...

Still Problems Yes, I'm sorry. There was so much I missed that particuar information. Thanks for the pointer. I've made the changes, altering: devicehigh=emm386.exe ram 16384 i=b000-b7ff to: devicehigh=c:\windows\emm386.exe ram 16384 i=b000-b7ff I made the change to allow for may own...
