I'm not entirely sure of the current state of the map in the game, but you should be able to jump from xxn-1927 to Oxford, and from there to Mastif. If that jump hasn't been added back yet (from when it was taken out for priv remake) go to New Constantinople, Aldebran, Camelot. From...

How to Apply for Privateer Remake 1.1 Beta We are entering the beta testing period for the 1.1 privateer remake beta. We need volunteers who are interested in giving us detailed feedback about what is better, worse, and broken since the 1.0 release. We have divided the beta into two...

It would be interesting to have a poll attached to this, though I can get the same effect by counting up all the answers :D Privateer, the EA Classics (or EA gold or sometithing like that) CD version, with Righteous Fire and full speech included. Best 10 bucks I ever spent. I still have...

It's an interesting read (if you like marketspeak) but the mooment he claims there will be no recoil is the moment it becomes obvious the man has not a clue. I wouldn't hold my breath on this one. If a projectile flies off in one direction, the gun has an equal and opposite force applied to...

Heh I keep forgetting about that. Would be a fun thing to fix for 1.1

a forum all your own :) I'm looking forward to seeing how you implement asteroids. I'll be watching this space.

True enough ;) I guess that just shows that newton is in there. You'd need to change a few more things to do away with the compensators entirely.

The Vegastrike flight engine is newtonian. Your ship takes steps to control your inertia with counterthrusters etc and gives the illusion of more "atmospheric" flight. Want to turn off the illusion? read on. You could in earlier versions before a ton of people starting complaining about it...

My first post addressed internal game logic (Why would anyone build a base in the middle of a bunch of asteroids? cause they are built on asteroids! And no one built the planets, that *in the game* happen to be in fields. Why anyone settled them is beyond me) . Physics had nothing to do with...

We also have the music in ogg on the serve, and I am fairly certain the default install of the game usees the oggs instead of the midis now. The music folder should have both oggs and midis if you look. If you want to know which it is using, open up your /privateer/.privateer100 folder and...

when shields are at full strength, pressing 's' toggles them to 2/3ds. Pressing s again lets them charge back up. Pressing shift-s toggles them to 1/3d. Pressing shift-s again lets them charge back up. s and shift-s are toggles.

Indeed. Was just noticing that the other day that stuff was still in there. Would be quite easy to lop it off and leave a landing pad and computer screen. Luck: if you play with some of the added features, things might just break hehe. That would have been fixed long ago if the situation...

heh I won't argue with it looking strange, but how would something like that be physically impossible? You don't seem to have a problem with a large rock in there, what's wrong with having a larger rock (a planet?) Substitute rocks for all the satellites going around earth in different orbits...

If it is a mining base, built on an asteroid it isn't too surprising to find them in an asteroid field :) IIRC there are no refineries in a field. There is a planet or two, but they weren't "built".

http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/ Scroll down to the "Mods for Vegastrike" section. There are a few underway dealing with different sci-fi universes, including Star Wars.

Cargo.csv was something used to convert the prices into the format the game uses, but as was said, it is ignored by the engine. Base prices are given in master_parts_list.csv. We'll use grain as the example for this. There, its price is given as 13. This is a baseline price. You can...

Good to see you working through the game. When your cockpit takes damage, buy a "general repair" at the ship dealer. It is meant to fix everything that isn't on the list of components. IE, there is no "cockpit" component you can buy, sell or repair, so general repairs covers that.

I suppose we could make that more obvious.. with the release of 1.0, the Righteous Fire campaign was an unannounced easter egg. It seems to be pretty generally known by now though hehe. Meh.. still an Easter Egg to those who don't know.

That base doesn't have a name. We know. We've played both ;) Seriously though, well, I don't want to get any hopes up :) That is as it should be. Centurion's max in RF is 4. You can hexedit to 5 in RF (which you couldn't before) but the non cheating max is 4. Why not sell the gun you...

That screenshot shows the objectives for the first Tayla mission, not Sandoval's mission. Tayla isn't sending you to Liverpool ;) You're going to notice that a lot, on different worlds and with different ships. You might also notice that one of them costs more and is pre-equipped. Anyway...
