    Purchasing Missle Launchers...?

    The Demon, for example, allows only 5 missiles in the heavy slot and 1 in the light slot. Just to clarify: Is this an error/bug/oversight? Or is it the way it's intended?

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

    F9 for speedmatching doesn't work unless you kill your speed. I.e. if you're going at your own max speed (and who isn't, under normal circumstances), matching the speed of another vessel by pressing F9 has ZERO effect. However, if you kill your engines (backspace), speed is reduced to match...

    Freelancer is better, sorry...

    I was not aware. Ok, feel free to call it an MS game then :( (Considering FreeLancer mkI won award for best game in '99, maybe they *shouldn't* have "rebooted the process") Yes, exactly, the game headed up by Chris Roberts before left and started Digital Anvil. (And not the UK-developed...

    Privateer is skippy in XP

    It's running fine on my 700MHz Athlon, 384MB RAM and GeForc256DDR ;-) WinXP/SP2. (only 800x600 without per-pixel effects, but framerates are almost always above 50, although they do dip down into the 20s on occaision)

    Freelancer is better, sorry...

    4 and 3 months, to be exact. The question, I guess, is how much actually changed from E3 1999 (where Freelancer was the star of the show, winning multiple awards)? Well, actually a year later even, since Microsoft didn't aquire Digitan Anvil until December 2000. In any event, D.A. was...

    Freelancer is better, sorry...

    I'd have to agree with the sentiments of several here regarding Freelancer (which was *not* made by Microsoft, btw). hurleybird puts it well, calling it "diablo in space". It was fun, for a little while, but the economics, AI, physics, storyline... well, basically everything but the graphics...

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

    Just to clarify: Like you, I'm not hearing gun-firing sounds. Just hits (shield, armor and hull), missiles firing and all explosions. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. (Which is kinda selfish, I guess!)

    Damage / upgrade problem

    This is a general interface issue with all the new menus. Sometimes catagories are warrented, sometimes not. The problem seems to be that they're *always* there (the catagories) - maybe they should auto-collapse if only one item was contained in them (e.g. displaying RADAR: OMNIEYE on one line...

    switching ships->upgrades lost & minor issues/questions

    ROFL! SELECT * FROM sectors WHERE FIND_IN_SET('miningbase', bases)>0; This is bothering me as well. Of course, the original suffered from the exact same problem and I've seen it argued here that it would be contrary to the "spirit" of the original to implement something like this (i.e. it...

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

    Very well done! Kudos to all involved! Denon_v's list of issues covered almost everything I had noticed (and included a few I certainly had not), although there are a few I that I'm not seeing (music and sound volume works just fine). A few other issues that I have on my, admittedly old...
