    Hadrian's intro animation

    This looks fantastic. Does the Tarsus gun have no sound for any particular reason or just because this is WIP?

    Privateer Remake 1.0 - Bugs

    The base should be there. Land on it and you will find the gun. If the base is in fact not there, it is a bug.

    Privateer Remake 1.0 - Bugs

    - In my Galaxy turrets, I can target my own ship. - "Turret Attack target" and "Turret Fire at Will" stop shooting sporadically. This happens especially frequently with "Turret Fire at Will" when aiming at a "friendly" target. - When shooting at a Drayman, when it is very near death it...

    You bought a "milspec" Centurion. It comes with a default reactor and shields, so they are automatically repaired when you buy a "Basic Repair". Milspec ship versions have caused much confusion and will be removed in the 1.01 patch. I suggest, if you have a save game right before you bought...

    Thanks and Questions

    1. Go to the mission computer, commodity exchange, or ship dealer, enter the interface screen, click on Save/Load, and there will be a "Quit Game" button at the lower left. 2. No, no movies. They have been captured from the original, but there were problems implementing them in the remake...

    Both of the Centruion's missile harpoints contain tractor capabiltiy by default Clearing one point of missiles should allow you to mount a tractor beam.

    Questions about 'stacking", etc.

    75% is max. Despite the fact that the sound (ripped from the original game) mentions trading, that doesn't actually happen in the Remake. Since you can own multiple ships, if you buy a Galaxy, your Tarsus sits there waiting for you. If you have no need for it, you should stip it of upgrades and...

    Galaxy jump drive

    I suggest you buy maps in game. The Privateer flying around in space has no internet with which to connect. :) Go into the ship dealer, then enter the upgrades room, then enter the software booth. Maps are available for purchase there.

    Hi there

    Yes, level 9 is for capships. Level 5 is the max for a player ship, and some ships don't even support that.

    Wow...fast

    That's why there is a MATCH SPEED command. If you use it, things can't outrun you.

    OS X Joystick - Hatswitch?

    The hatswitch is the 4- or 8-way thumb switch on the joystick, and shouldn't have anything to do with axis centering.

    Suggestion: Wingmen

    It's already built into Firefox. See the google toolbar up there at the top right? Click on the "G".

    Bolt speeds

    I know why, and I don't even use a mouse. A joystick centers itslef, a mouse does not. There is a reason real aircraft and spacecraft are flown with a joystick...

    Wow...fast

    That's not an ejection pod, it's just the HUD-only view (press F1 twice). The speed comes from matching speed (press F9) to something that is going very fast.

    Thoughts on the Tractor Beam and Spaced Cargo

    The Vegastrike engine is based on Newtonian physics; cargo is rather light, so it likes to go flying off at high speed relative to your ship. To catch it, target it and press F9 to match speed; this sets your zero speed to the speed of the cargo. Then you can afterburn towards the cargo until it...

    Galaxy jump drive

    There may be no jump drive for sale at the base you are on. Try flying to another base to see if there is one available. If you wish, you can sell the jump drive from your previous ship, then buy it back for your new ship. If you have not sold your old ship, it is available in the Ship...

    Bolt speeds

    I beleive we have just discovered why Dan thinks this game is so hard. :) If you can't aim, yeah, it's going to be tough. This works best with a joystick, no doubt about it.
