I don't recall exactly how ramming worked in the original, but in the VegaStrike engine, it seems somewhat random. Physics dictate that two colliding ships suffer EXACTLY the same amount of damage (measured in energy). I've often had my front shields completely killed plus damage to the armor...

A correct encounter table has been discussed up the wazoo.

Dumb question perhaps, but who are the devs? Is there a mailing-list, irc channel or the like that is used to coordinate the effort?

This thread isn't really intended as a discussion (but rather just a *list* of bugs). However, let me quickly point out, that what you experienced is most certainly not a bug; you simply ran out of jump fuel. There's a huge, ugly, non-alpha-transparent bar showing your jump fuel status right in...

The Demons are harmless - just extremely hard to kill ;-) Their specifications appear to be identical to the original (as listed in the manual). The problem with the Ox3 mission is that the *strategy* they employ is extremely effective (far more so than the more "direct" and agressive...

Centurion. (fully outfitted, 4 tachys)

Is there any way ppl (like me, for example) could help in this respect? That seems like a much more manageable way to help out than diving straight into the coding (helping out with the models isn't exactly up my alley).

It's in the bin folder along with the main executable. It's called "setup.exe" under windows. If you let P:R create a Start Menu entry, it's also located in the Privateer group (and called "Setup Privateer").

Oh, I'm sure he knows how. I am also, however, quite sure that he didn't manage to do so on my computer without me knowing seeing as how I was there the whole time ;-) You could take a trip to Palan and shoot yourself some hunters.

uhmm.. yes ;-) oops.

I've seen the mission passed using the Centurion equipped with tachys (and no aim-bot or "cheating"). Not that I've done it myself yet, but my (younger) brother demonstrated it for me :( Anyway... just saying that the mission is far from impossible - we just need to suck less ;-). I would...

It is fully Open Source, however - and remarkably free from security bugs. Not completely immune to homework-consuming canines, sadly...

What are the differences between the various difficulty settings in P:R? I've tried everything from easy to insane (for some reason I haven't tried "impossible" or "easier" yet) and I just don't see any change in *difficulty*. There's a slight change in "style", but it seems to be equally...

Press semicolon to respawn. Do note that the game uses US keyboard layout, regardless of what keyboard (or layout) you actually have. Semicolon is the key to the left of L (without shift). CTRL+d for suicide (self destruct) might also be what you are looking for.

* Torpedo / Missile Launcher bug: The launchers have a severe propensity to get out of sync. That is, the left launcher always fires first, so when you fire over a single torpedo, wait a few seconds, fire another etc., you can actually run out of torpedos on the left launcher while not using the...

I'm running the Remake with a GeForce256DDR (that's a "GeForce1"). It's better than a Voodoo3, but not by a huge margin, unless you run on a slow system (even slower than my 700MHz Athlon). See e.g. this comparison (the Asus card is the GeForce256DDR). Do note that the Voodoo3 has problems...

I thought militia were basically conscripts (i.e. not necessarily volunteers) - and historically paid (although not always, and not always much).

The Cloaking device is a bit of an Easter Egg (and will almost certainly be removed from the next version of the pure Privateer Remake). With regards to the storyline, try visiting the bars in the large systems (i.e. New Constantinople, New Detroit etc). Roman Lynch is the guy you need to...

You're completely forgetting the "explorer" type player. Someone who visited every single accessible system before even getting a new ship.

Hidden cargo space is *not* implemented at this time.
