    What does Privateer 1.0 need?

    I have yet to quibble with what is in the Centurion. It's supposed to be sleek, fast and not much more. You can take minimal cargo and that is ALL. The Orion is a Hunter. They are prey. They need some room for some stuff. More than a fighter. They are PREY, they need to be gunships...

    turrets again

    I intentionally crashed my game to say this, because it would make me WANT an Orion Talking about the Orion and Turrets: Turrets: A DREAM is individual target selection for EACH turret. Both the Centurion and the Orion are Hunters. The Centurion is a Fighter. The Orion, is a Hunter...

    turrets again

    Turrets Or is that tourettes? That's what I used to be like in the original game with those useless hulks you stuck on to your ship to absorb damage. In the remake? Let's put it this way, I have a Galaxy You COULD call it a miniature Paradigm. IT. IS. AWESOME. At least it is with those...

    What does Privateer 1.0 need?

    Cargo Expansions: Right now, in 9b with the latest VS engine I can't get buy cargo expansions for anything except the Galaxy and the Tarsus. Orion and Centurion can not expand. It you want them to, you'll need to change the "Disqualifier" in the code that prevents Hunters or Fighters from...

    This is hardly fair

    I always looked at Perry as being on the FRONT of the war. Why else do you have it in Clarke, so close to BLOCKADE point whatever. I see massive Kilrathi battles there, no problem.

    Tarsus Anomoly?

    Compression Problems and an ODD-BALL card? Goes away if you change ships and back again, too. I'm building up my freighter. FRED-II. FRED-I looks to be doing really khuele, tho. Well, THIS isn't my droid. THIS, is what I think compression problems look like, even though I've never...

    Tarsus Anomoly?

    After running at least 15, possibly as many as 25 or 30 missions, UNSCATHED, only lost the shields due to some shots, no dings in the armour, I found I was getting faster and faster and faster. The fastest I noticed was 328KPS at standard cruise and 628 on burners. I have a screenshot of...

    This is hardly fair

    You should see how it looks after running 10 or 12 rescue missions and dodging back in to Perry on a couple of them. I think it's a part of the way it happens. Save game, quit, re-load the saved game. I promise you, they'll be gone.

    009a Campaign (bug?)

    Hey, I'd have him run 9b for those questions, Hellcatv. Said that the flavour he was running was 9a. Though I'll give that a shot on my easter-egg hunt as well.

    Found Easter Eggs?

    Oooooh! Goody! Goody! Goody! (Apologies to WB) <sigh> I should know better with this video card. Now to restart the game.

    Mission Issues

    Have we a Linux Egghead? Or a piece of fruit Mac user? I have Linux and Doze, but the Linux boxen aren't hot enough for the game. While I've always wanted to have a FrootLoop box, I never came across one for the right price. As for Sumarian, I come close with a dead language. I speak...

    Found Easter Eggs?

    One, compound word from your Hooligan Friend. SUCK-UP! I've come up with Goose-Eggs for easter-eggs. . .so far, but I have to have the ships to do it and. . .

    Mission Issues

    Yeah, I figured, but it went down, right. I was going to hold off sending you anything until you asked, but when it went up in smoke, YOUR STANDING INSTRUCTIONS are: Dr. Watson Log and all the derr files. I include the configs so you can see exactly how I'm running it. I mean, if I...

    Performance

    Y'know, I THINK you might experience the same issues here. But it's hard to say for sure, as I really haven't played VS. I experienced dome really bad frame drops and slowing of the action inPrivateer-R, but then I had swarms all over me, not five or six or even 20, but the Militia and...

    Mission Issues

    After the game finishes its crash, I'll send you the files. It didn't like my popping over here. It WAS the older engine

    Mission Issues

    I think there's something intrinsically wrong with that save. I ran two rescue missions and couldn't complete either. I finally dumped the cargo and am quitting it. I'll send you the files if you think they can help. Otherwise I'll load the new exe and run it.

    Mission Issues

    I know you can't tell when things are going to go south like this, but. . . You can't predict when the receiving vessel of a mission isn't going to be there, but it WOULD be nice to have it there when you run the mission. Once the ship jumped out of system as soon as I jumped in. I mean...

    I can't pause the game

    To be honest, NT IS a shell routine running in the OE on a form of Disk Operating System. That it's NT File System doesn't change a thing, It's still a form of DOS and it still communicates with NT via a command.com of sorts. It is architecture dependent and Yes, Mac has the same type of...
