    Where to buy Auto-Tracking

    I've seen them pop up in other places such as New Detroit and New Constantinople as well, but there is almost always at least one at Perry.

    Sensetivity

    What Sith Lord is looking for is a something that changes the joystick response, not the ship capabilities. Assume that default joystick response is linear, which it probably is. This means that when I displace my joystick 50% of its possible travel to the left, my ships yaws to the left at...

    Target leading in turret AI... how??

    Uh oh - double thread. The thread here is more developed, and it would be less confusing if no one posted in this one.

    A few things I've noted.

    On a related note - to evade fire: - afterburn - target your destination - turn to center your target in your HUD and then offest it horizontally so it is near the edge of the screen - Start a rolling as fast as possible towards your target (i.e. roll to the right if your target is to the...

    To clarify, what are we not supposed to do? Jump while in a turret view?

    Joystick not recognized in Windows

    ! Another Cougar owner. Cool I have mine set up for 3 Axis Joystick and Throttle. You want to use the throttle, don't you? I have ruder pedals. If you don't, you want to choose 2 Axis Joystick and Throttle. I also flipped my rudders in the Cougar Control Panel. Are you sure your Cougar...

    Refresh rate

    There is a bug in Windows XP that defaults to 60 Hz for 3D applications. There are many easy fixes for this; RivaTuner, Reforce, etc. are all tweaking utilities that offer refresh fixes. There is also a setting included in ATI's catalyst control center (if you use an ATI Radeon card).

    Impressions and Opinions

    I am 99.9% sure that is in the Remake manual. But even if it's not, yes, you can have multiple ships. :)

    Asteroid Belts

    Don't you think that if the asteroids are changed so that they cause just as much damage on collision as they did in the original, but if we still can't shoot them, that they would make the game harder than it was originally? Yes, spirit, fix the asteroids if you can. :)

    Bug/Error report. (Sort of long, but not flaming)

    Actually, that is how it's designed. Because the Vegastrike engine uses Newtonian physics, and cargo is generally rather lighweight, it can get moving pretty fast sometimes. This never happened in the original, so speed-matching lets you still catch up to it to tractor it. The fact that you...

    Privateer Game Questions

    Because when you sell your ship none of your equipment is sold; it just dissapears. It's a bit of a bug, but it's easily worked around by stripping your ship, then selling it.

    PR 1.0: Talking turrets

    A quick check on your turrets is to jump to an external view to see if they are tracking. Not a very elegant way of doing things, but it works.

    Target leading in turret AI.... how?

    I beleive you've answered your own question: "a Galaxy can blow away Talons by the dozen. But enemy ships that have their own turrets become more challenging, and capital ships are very challenging." It unbalances the game too much; cap ships are deadly enough. Souds interesting, though; I...
