I would like to offer the following you may not know about for those who English is not your native language: [ www.dictionary.com ]. If you come across a word you do not know, have a look-see at what it really means. It may be the original user is not using it correctly either, so it is not...

Dan_W- It almost sounds like you do not have the WCU stuff installed for your sectors (maybe they were not overwritten when you installed WCU over P:R?), or maybe when the non-Gemini sectors were pulled, someone went back and changed the Gemini system files to not contain the out-sector jump...

Warlock- Oh, cool. I will await patiently. Spiritplumber- is there anything wrong with Sol system other than getting into/out of it? (see my post about non-Gemini sectors on the other board, or that note I sent) If not, I already have a set of files that is fixed, tho currently you have...

Closest guess to the misuse of Nephilim (which are the giant type people Porthos mentioned) is 'Nephelium', which is a tree native to Asia and Australia. -thehawk

The mouse flight is not so bad, you just have to learn to fine tune your control. Think 'micro-movements' instead of the 'macro-movements' you are used to using. Yes, it does take quite a bit of practice. -thehawk

They were pulled because of something being broken in them. I have yet to get the details of exactly what out of anyone. See here for my nickel's worth: http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3753 -thehawk

Dan_W: Not sure for the *Nix version, but in the Winders version a screenshot is the i key, and it dumps a *.png file in the Textures directory.

Oh yea! Free Traders! Forgot about those. The BW ships I was thinking were maybe the Avenger and the Banshee. They might still be too new tho, so I dunno. *goes back to plotting his theft of a shipment of Excaliburs* -thehawk

Speaking of which, I had a comment about your thoughts on the mass driver cannons. I do not think they and the stormfires are the same sort of technology. Stormfires seem like they operate on the same principles our current firearms do. The mass drivers seem to operate like a rail gun, or a...

Maybe Scimitars too, since they were decomissioned by Confed? Heh. Even tho they turn like a Centurian mud pig, I like that extra durasteel plating.

*nods* They seem like they are grouped similar to the way we group constellations. The only thing that sticks out in my mind right now is something (I think one of the manuals) somewhere talking about how, with the current technology and methods of travel, actual spatial relationships of...

I might have a fairly complete set of save games from the other WC games, and I should be able to tell you exactly where you jump to as the stories progress (one route thru the stories anyway). Heh, if not, it is as good an excuse as any to play thru them all again.

In the other WC games, jumping between one sector and another is not any different than jumping between any other systems. That map is actually designed around a sector being printed on 11x17 landscape. The term 'poor schmuck desperate for cash' -is- in English, and it is -not- derogatory...

I have two comments (to start) on the Lieutenant Dan_W manifesto. Number one. I really think, before you start wanting to limit what sectors are available when, how far apart they are, what trials and tribbleations are required to get from one to the other, that a sort of 'mission statement'...

Just a quick thought that seems appropriate to this thread. If you hang on to your current original *.ZIP or *.RAR files, you can always re-estract a fresh copy of whatever file(s) you honk up in your pursuit of modifications. That way, you do not have to wait for some forum-angel to post the...

cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wcuniverse That place?

Thank you for the picture. *chuckles* To me, that thing looks like at least two ships that were sort of hybrided together (the nicest way I could think of to put it). No wonder the guy says it was a bucket of bolts merchant ship held together with bootlaces and luck.. I really like the way...

*puts out a bowl of cream for Spiritplumber*

I think I am missing something- where in the manual is there a picture of the Scarab?

I am going to guess it is 'Terran Confederation', which would be synonymous with 'Confed'.
