Changing units.csv changes all units in the game of the type you modify, except the ship you already own, if it is of that type. You have to do nothing to your save games. No kidding. The second Murphy mission in RF, where you're swarmed by demons as you enter the jump point, I went in with...

That's funny. I had that problem in the Oxford missions, where I was supposed to protect this Drayman, but the demons didn't show as hostiles on my dashboard, as I had been friendly to them to that point. I had to go to Palan first and kill dozens of hunters, to get them to hate me, then go back...

And actually, what's set betwen Priv part 1 and RF is WC3, isn't it Loaf? So, that's what should be the story between?

Doh! I was just looking at your timeline post, again, and cought that between Pivateer and Righteous Fire is WC3. So, if anything, we need to glue the end of Priv to the start of WC3, and then glue the end of WC3 to the start of Righteous Fire.

O.T.: What a great game that was! Every time I hear Louis Armstrong I reminsce playing Fallout...

Loaf: You're a walking encyclopaedia. I don't know who doesn't like you or why, but this project would be lost without your knowledge of WC. Spirit: As Loaf just said, the buoys don't emit balls, nor wireframes. They are communications relays, like communications satellites. Emitting anything...

Is there some place that pays fair money for Kilrathi ships? Seems I'm not getting what they should be worth... Only 10 creds a piece?! As scrap metal they should be more than that.

Aren't we all? As a matter of fact, that reminds me of another small failing of the original: Getting only half the price one paid for most upgrades is just too harsh. 70% would be understandable. It really dampens the urge to upgrade.. "Hmmm, I could buy engine 3, but I'd lose half the price...

What she's saying is, if you ever owned a drayman, delete it from your save files. Otherwise, all you have to do is unzip her file in the main folder, overwriting existing files.

Actually, the order of the offers in the deal should be reversed: First she promises payment in the form of a ship, then promises you'll get to keep your gun, and in the end adds the emotional punch line, of them wanting the best pilot to be the one using that gun.

In other words, Terrel doesn't just want your gun, he wants YOU to use it. He, or Goodin, might say, "We can do this the hard way, or the easy way: The easy way is you get the gun back but join our forces against the Kilrathi. The hard way is you lose your gun AND your freedom." And then you...

My whole idea was for Privateer to have no choice but to JOIN the military. That way there'd be a WC style stint in the military before RF. If as you say, this is the the end of the war, so much the better! Then perhaps this WC stint should be the shortest but greatest of all of WC, where at...

Sorry I didn't notice your reply earlier. No, I didn't start a new game. I had finished all of Remake except the Lynn Murphy missions, because I didn't remember where to find her. So I unzipped your files, and then kept playing. But I went places, explored the Vega system, back to New Detroit...

I was hoping they aren't. I know from Privateer, you can say some pretty racist things to them; but I haven't played the other WC games. It would be nice, if that's the case, if we could make a few subtle changes here and there to give humans a bit of humanity.

I'm with you. However, if you only experienced Privateer through the remake, let me tell you that race relations are broken right now. They don't work like in the original game. Maybe it's just some numbers that need tweaking, maybe it's something more fundamental, but, in the remake, I was...

Okay. I was just throwing that in. In fact, we may not need to change anything at all, but it kind of helps going through these mental exercises, so that one may know what the story behind the story is. Now we know we can have a blue ball AND/OR a buoy at a jump point, and that there is no...

Very, VERY true. I never understood this concept of having external views. I would get rid of them, myself. Thanks for the clarification about modern HUD's.

They are not a big issue for me at all, I'd get rid of them. I'm just aware of the fact that it's a big issue for other people, so I was trying to find some kind of compromise; and in the process found that the original Privateer has this inconsistency. So, might as well correct the...

Ok, like I just edited my own message, it's just an error that they made them visible from external views, or through side windows. And the reason they only exist in Privateer is because commercial ship computers generate them as such, but the military find them "goofy"... ;-) . ;-) . ;-)

I don't think that's true. I don't remember EVER being able to jump where there's no blue ball. There are NAV points without blue balls, but they are just NAV points, NOT jump points. In the missions off Rygannon, when you explore each of the systems the first time, there are no blue balls...
