Actually I'm not sure. In my recollection it was the same mission, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Yeah, but ironically he will die the following mission, regardless of whether you "boosted" his morale or not... :(

Congratulations!

Not all people do. In fact, I happened to see an old poll yesterday here on CIC which was asking for the favourite WC1 fighter and there the Rapier even won - barely - before the Raptor. I've always preferred the Rapier over the Raptor, it's fast, agile, has strong shields (not very good armor...

Yeah, you've to put up with a lot of crap with commercial games sometimes.

Yeah, that's what I meant. That the developers of Privateer took inspiration from the TIE-fighter sounds. Yes, the TIE fighters do make a lot more offensive "scream", but in my ears it's the same general "direction".

I get the feeling those were a little bit inspired by the TIE-Fighters from Star Wars, but of course Your Mileage May Vary... I agree, I really like the computer sounds.

...from hell... or something like that ;)

I don't think it was Prohpecy's fault. The genre itself sadly was dying. Yes there were some others afterwards, but they all weren't succesful enough (at least not in the modern, mass-market-oriented sense). I personally did play Starlancer as well as Freespace 2, but neither of them very much...

Somehow I get the impression I've been playing a different game... :D 1. About the overflow bug, I thought it was an overflow of the "sorties" number that caused it. When you start a new character, how can it happen, as the Secret Missions (each of them seperately at least) have fewer missions...

While you're at radio chatter, am I correct in the assumption that some of the Kilrathi radio messages were taken from Prophecy and some were done from scratch? To be more specific, the "lower caste" is from Prophecy and the "higher caste" is new? I'm only talking about taunts and death...

Really? Wow, that's incredible. Why wasn't the KS produced in a bigger amount, obviously the demand would have been there...? BTW, The price collectors items reach on ebay is in my opinion a good way of determining actual collector's value. People who are more determinded to just "get it...

...other than starting a new character ;)

I think it was quite intentional as to make them more mysterious...

I thought that was a pretty well known bug by now. The solution is, when starting to play Secret Missions after transferring your character, use a savegame editor to reset your number of "sorties" to Zero. Alternatively, don't tranfer your character at all, but that will of course cause you to...

Yeah, I know, I tried it all, ramming, missiles, and so on, but well, if I rammed too agressively I usually died, if not the Ralari died. Grathas are tough so the missiles aren't too helpful. I also varied my tactics, but somehow I never managed to succeed. Before you asked, yes I figured out...

Yeah but I like it better if the enemy actually screws you over (through bad luck), instead of a game error. Then just don't be too proud not to just load your savegame and replay the mission... ;) So you actually managed to defend the Ralari? I draw my hat before you. I tried it dozens of...

May I ask what the problem was? I think I remember experiencing similar problems in WC1 sometimes (although rarely). Loading your savegame and playing the mission again usually solves it, although that can be frustrating if the mission was hard. So I guess it's a bug - similar to the bug we...

Oh, okay, I understand what you mean, "The WC Fanfare" ;)

Well, I'm not sure about that. The existance of "World Class Track Meet" doesn't seem to have much impact on the collector's value of "Stadium Events". (Talking about the NTSC, not PAL, releases, of course)
