Ha! Problem solved! Excrept from the documentation for WC1 savegame editor: "In addition to the above, this program also automatically corrects any series list overflow errors in the saved games. The overflow error causes some pilots, most notably Spirit and Angel, to die for no apparent...

Seems that way. Now Hunter turned up dead too, and I wasn't even flying with him. I could reinstall Secret Missions and restart the campaign, but I think I'll see if I can undo the harm with the savegame editor.

I've encountered a weird problem while playing Secret Missions 1. Every time I finish mission Jotunheim 3, I end up standing alone at the debriefing, and Spirit is listed as KIA. No matter what I do, this always happens. I've tried sending Spirit back home during the mission, finishing the...

Back on the topic... I recently got Prophecy, and Dekker looked naggingly familiar... Just realized that was because he played Arnaud's brother in the Invisible Man (TV series, that is).

It seems that mission T'lan Meth 9 from Prophecy is missing from the CIC guide. Could this be fixed?

I wonder why IMDb is listing games with absolutely no cinematic content? I tried searching Lode Runner, and found info on the original 1983 game...

I took a look at couple of other vBulletin boards, and there the oldest message came first in the thread...

Why, oh why are the messages arranged so that the first one is at the end of the thread? On EVERY SINGLE other message board I've ever seen it's exactly the other way around! I've rummaged through all the settings I've seen on the board, and I haven't found any way to change this viewing format...

I also prefer the older way, but I absolutely HATED how the only system that seemed to get damaged in enemy ships was shields. Nearly destroyed Kilrathi ships have escaped me at top speed more times than I can count. Sigh, memory constraints, I guess. Going a bit off-topic, how many games are...

I'm running Darkening on a PC with AMD Athlon 1333 MHz and GeForce 2 with 32 MB memory. The problem is that the 3D flight sections of the game run FAR too fast. I tried slowing down by using a program called Turbo, but that makes the game jerky. Any help?

Re: Re: Why Paradigm? Never even seen that game. My intended reference was to other ship names in WC, such as Scimitar, Longbow and Hornet.

For a singular capital ship I'd find that easier to accept, but it seems to me that we are looking at a whole bunch of *Paradigm-class* ships. And as for the other meanings, my encyclopaedia only knew the grammatical use. Amazing what you can learn at places like these.

For me, this is one major bugger in Privateer: why on earth would anyone name a battleship 'Paradigm'? I can understand naming ships after swords, or other weapons or flying creatures, but paradigm? That's a linguistic term, fer cryin' out loud! What does that have to do with flying or fighting?

Even PCXdump locks up the game now and then, but at least it only does that when taking a screenshot, and not in the middle of everything.

What would be a good screen grabber program to use with Privateer that wouldn't make it extremely prone to lock-ups?

I've recently been playing the original versions of WC1 and 2, the Kilrathi Saga and Privateer, and I noticed something that strikes me odd: In WC1 and 2, when you got shot at, the scanner flashed red in the section you got hit. For some reason, this is gone in KS and Privateer (I haven't...

First of all, I suggest you buy another laser with what little money you have. Next, take a look at the mission computer (between commodity exchange and bar at mining bases) and pick some missions. Unlike Elite, missions are a much better way of getting money than trading. Since you don't have a...

To get back to the original question, I have played with ideas that concern Privateer, since that's the WC game I enjoyed most. First of all, it would be nice if you could broadcast a distress signal, and depending on the system you're in, it could attract merchants, pirates, Kilrathi...

And Iceman's daughter was captured by the Kilrathi there.

So Iceman is a canuck... should've guessed that. But what excactly happened on Vega Nine?
