    Exactly what CAN you buy?

    In the ship dealer's, after you've joined the mercenaries guild, look under mercenary ships. The heavy is the Centurion, check the other types (light and medium) for a demon).

    Thank you Thank you!!!

    I have to agree, I'm very impressed with the remake. Freelancer suffers from the designer deciding to force you to play it their way. The entire high transit system and lack of autopilot just gets old after a while and is designer arrogance. I've been tempted to load up some of the mods for...

    Darn repair droid, other comments

    Well ... I did the edit suggested in the forums ... which resulted in my launching all my games as blown up, in space, or on the landing pad without a ship. Went back and deleted the added code and everything is back to normal. Bought a Kamekh. Hmm, flies only by keyboard, no mouse control...

    Thanks for the heads up, that will save me from trying. Any suggestions of where else to look and what pre-requisits apply? Thanks.

    *spoiler alert* do I have to play Tayla's game ?

    I finished the original Privateer without ever killing any Confed or Militia pilots. Lots of running. If you do that, they forgive you immediately in the original.

    Are cloaking devices available in Privateer?

    So it just shows up randomly? What heading?

    Exactly what CAN you buy?

    I'm perfectly happy with the Demon, though I managed to finish the original game with a Tarsus once I got a good handle on playing it (and discovered that the Steltek Drone can't kill you when you are in a death spiral). I'd like to try a Dralthi or a Goth ... or a Jalthi (Privateer needed...

    Privateer Remake 1.0 - Bugs

    Replaced the ATI 7000 with an ATI 7800pro and now I can run all the video options+ and it is nicely smooth. I also switched the mouse to USB from the mouse port. Sometimes the darn "fix" menu just doesn't want to come up. Arghh. But, I'm enjoying this. If I could just remember my...

    Help required concerning RF

    When he clears your record, it makes all the affected factions (pirates, Federation, merchants, militia) go up to +100. That is useful. The old Lynch just reset you to the beginning marks. The problem is that if you focus on killing retros, you can get everyone pretty much happy with you...

    Maps of space lanes

    The Playtesters Guide had maps. Worth the price just for that.

    Cute, the net disaster page is fun, with the various ways it destroys a page.

    Idea: Tips for new players

    I wouldn't mind a rescue mission that paid 47K instead of 4.7 ... and I need to get up some cash to buy a tractor beam.

    Privateer Remake 1.0 - Bugs

    It is working better. I'm amazed that the video card made such a difference. Guess I need to read the rules for the mod to figure out how to do things I thought I knew how to do. Just landed at a planet without hitting D again. Mission computer doesn't kick up when flying, couldn't...

    Privateer Remake 1.0 - Bugs

    My video card is a late model generic made by ATI and rebadged by CompUSA, but it is x8 AGP. Maybe I should pick up a 7600? Would that make a difference? I've now set as follows: 1024mg of memory vertex arrays sound effects only sharp bases retro looks (I understand this to be the...

    Privateer Remake 1.0 - Bugs

    No, means I have some other problem. What options are you running under, and does it make a difference what kind of mouse maybe? I'm flirting with buying a joystick to just play the remake, but it sounds like that won't solve the problem.

    Privateer Remake 1.0 - Bugs

    I'll be. I had landed a couple of times before without doing that. BTW, any idea why the mouse jumps so? I'm running an x8 AGP card (ATI 7000 with 64mb ram) on a 3.2ghz P4/2gig of ram system. That should let me run without all the options disabled and a mouse instead of joystick...

    Minor issue with mouse

    Vido card has x8 AGP, though only 64mb. Should be enough.

    Hit a mining base without docking. Did use the "request to dock" dialog on the com too.

    Minor issue with mouse

    Still too jerky to play. Ouch. Low detail, etc.
