Not per the manual ;-) I'm seeing no effect in the demon and the centurion. Perhaps because it only has an effect in cockpit mode? I don't think I've flown anything *but* the tarsus in cockpit mode, so that might explain it.

Playing the game these past days, I've come across several keys that don't work as indicated in the manual (default Windows install, P:R v. 1.0, manual v. 1.0.3). Note that this is not an exhaustive list, just those I have come across. alt+s Should enslave captured pilots. Does nothing. F1...

The easiest thing is to do faction hunting in a demon. Ok, so it wasn't available in the original privateer, but... The reason is that it can go 1200 with afterburners, thus quickly getting you 10k clicks away from any hostiles you *don't* want to kill (after which you press "a" to go...

And by all accounts, these new models will all be gone in a future release. As far as I understand it, the plan is to fork the project in two: 1) A true Privateer Remake, staying as close to the original as possible. 2) A free adaptation, keeping closely to the wing commander universe...

If you get a faction to -100, it seems like it takes quite a bit more to get them to like you again. What you need to do is go hunter-hunting! ;-)

It's there by default in mine when I'm flying.

The biggest thing would be to select one of the non-"per-pixel" modes. 800x600x32 should play great on your system. Higher rez should also play just fine. I don't see anything there that could be causing your problems. You might try *not* using drag-to-steer (I don't use it myself). What...

I was going to answer this, but then I thought better of it ;-) Read the "sticky" msg about loading grfx.

Which "fixing" are you going to do to them?

A biscuit?! Oh boy! I'd better try then ;-) What settings are you using? (when running "Setup Privateer")

Simply flying a mapping or cargo mission for a faction won't budge your standing with them. You need to kill their enemies ;-)

When I fire any weapons, be they laser, mesons, plasmas, tachys or whatever, there's an initial delay before the first volley is fired. It seems to be about half a second, which makes one fear that the refire delay is implemented "fire-side" instead of having a "true" weapon recharge. Anyone...

I've suggested the following MINOR modifications to the asteroid fields which would, imho, make them much better (and more true to the original): - Set the velocity of all asteroids to zero. - Add a dense fog or dust cloud. The result would be that asteroids seem to come (almost) out of...

Only the best shield is used. For this reason, it makes no sense to buy a level 1 if you already have a level 2. "Stacking" them doesn't provide any extra shielding, it only takes up extra cargo space. The level 2 shield *does* give more protection than the level 1 shield. The bars indicating...

I get the physics argument (of course), but since ship speed is limited, one would assume that there is some reason for this (spacial disturbances causing the drive or reactor to lose power / ship to shake, insert other pseudo-scientific argument here). For me, this just breaks the immersive...

SPEED MATCHING BUG Besides speed matching not always working unless you kill your own speed (e.g. backspace), it also allows matching of speeds higher than your ship is capable of. In a Demon, I matched speed with a Centurion going at 1000. Sure, demon can do that with afterburners, but they...

What you're missing here, imho, is that power consumption has a lower bound, below which it is not any better to have the weapon consume less. Clearly, if your reactor can keep up with continuous firing of the weapon, it doesn't matter how little energy it consumes. So, basically, what...

*SPOILER* Here's another annoying bug: If you leave the system during the the second Oxford mission, without visiting the jump point that starts the encounter, the screen still tells you to visit the jump point, but even going back and visiting it doesn't start the encounter (nor does it...

Asteroids This seems like a common topic. Personally, I preferred the old-style asteroid fields, but all games seem to have gravitated towards the new kind. I think the reason for this is that the non-spawning "static" fields seem more realistic - despite the fact that the asteroids in these...

Haven't had any problems with the in-game stats. Kills and faction update just fine. (Faction is extremely easy to influence, however - far more so than the original, at least as I remember it). I have the same problem with the Nav computer as you. It seems to like almost-white on white...
