    Righteous Fire question can't talk to Terrell

    The only time you need to do missions for the sake of references is in order to get the guy at Oxford to put you in touch with this Monte guy; nothing to do with Terrel.

    It worked! Looks like I'm doing AOK now, thanks! Make sure Spirit gets them.

    Your hack of the Junction.system seems to work. Even missions going to it work. I had a strange phenomenon at the oceanic planet there; not sure whether this has anything to do with your hack, but just in case: I took a cargo mission to Troy, but I couldn't buy anything else at the commodities...

    Galaxy jump drive

    For radar that has color, check the descriptions at the bottom of the screen. If it says that it has friend/foe distinction capabilities, it means it has color. The other feature that becomes important later is ITTS, which gives you a reticle on the HUD that leads the enemy ships, so you shoot...

    I did, actually; I should have reported back immediately. I mistakenly took a save file that had a mission in it already. I haven't played much since, and won't until tomorrow; I'll test a bit more. Thanks.

    Problems with Savegames

    There are no cheats, as such, but you can edit many of the files. I ended up cheating to pass that mission. What I did was slow down the demons. I opened up the units.csv file and drastically lowered their speed and rate of turning. In that file, you'll see the various models of ships down the...

    Hellcat, the changes don't seem to make a difference. I just took a *cargo* mission to New Detroit. This must be a bug: I checked the objectives once I got into new detroit, and said I must visit the jump point to ND-57. I go there and there are about 10 kilrathi insys. As usual: flying in ways...

    I wonder if it might not have to do with the fact that the system name already exists as a sector name. Wouldn't explain why Haven doesn't work either, though.

    Hawk, now I did re-install privateer remake from scratch, and the March22 wcu rar files, and for sure, Gemini still doesn't work. I took a mission there. Once in Junction, the objectives screen said 'find jump to Gemini'. I select the Gemini jump, auto, Jump, and I'm in a system that has one...

    So, do you like the new jump bubbles?

    Okay, Spirit, finally I re-installed priv-remake and wcu, so now I see the new bubbles. They are gorgeous! There's a technical problem with brightness, though; and it's not a matter of making them darker or brighter. The problem is that they are alpha blended, which is not the effect you...

    That's odd... sure you're not killing confeds? If you see confeds and pirates fighting, and you get yourself involved, if you accidentally hit a confed it will anger them. Confeds like it when you speak friendly to them, and when you kill Kilrathi. In my country of origin, the military once...

    Well, when I unrolled the zip files I did not see any error messages. Besides, not only is there no jump from Troy to Gemini, but there's also no jump from Gemini to Troy. Okay, I'm going to re-install everything. Hmm... maybe I should use the cvs... I got lost with the rest of your post. I...

    Thank you, Hellcat !!! Indeed, INDEED. I tackeled this very subject in some other thread, and that's the ONLY solution I was able to find to the traditional problem of balancing a game throughout the evolution of the player's skills and capabilities, without resorting to cheating against the...

    Suggestion: Wingmen

    R.E.: dictionary.com, who would have thought? :D :D :D :D Seriously, every time I NEEDED to check a dictionary I searched for "dictionary" in google and always forgot to bookmark them. Done now. In my personal bar in Firefox, too. I looked up canon, and I had got the meaning right from...

    I've already driven trucks, cars, AND motorcycles (owned a Virago 500, rare model, and later a Kawasaki LTD750). In the virtual world, I've piloted all kinds of military aircraft. Let me tell you: Landing a fighter aircraft on an aircraft carrier manually, and using a realistic physics model...

    Okay, then the game installer should tell me I need a joystick, and I just wouldn't play it.

    Look, it's not "practise". Right now I'm flying a Tarsus, and I'm oscillating around all the time. I know once I get a Cent I'll oscillate much less. With the demon, I tried it a few days ago, I can even aim straight. It's a matter of unresponsiveness of the ship that is programmed by the...

    Draymans had multiple turrets.

    Great post, Batman. About the ability to launch but not recover escorts, it would work in my kind of game, namely where the number and strength and frequency of enemy encounters is more in line with what one could expect in real life. Like there was this sim game TFX, around same time as...

    Draymans had multiple turrets.

    Spirit, maybe LOAF has a point about Draymans joining convoys and stuff? Remember in Fallout how you join convoys. Could be just like that: If four Draymans agree to a run, each must have a minimum of 2 launchable escorts to participate, say, and the group pools resources to hire a few extra...
