    Which Capital Ships can be bought?

    And our reluctance grew when everyone bought one and no one went with the standard ships. Enjoy for now.

    Asteroid Belts

    Nope. If one existed in the original it would be in the remake. Pender's Star has always forced you to slog through the asteroids or take the time to fly around them manually.

    Sensetivity

    You can edit units.csv to reduce the max turning speed of all the ships, or ./privateer100/serialized_xml/SAVENAME/shipname.csv to reduce the max turning speed of your current ship, but that seems counterproductive. While steering will no longer be so sensitive, you simply won't be able to turn...

    A few things I've noted.

    I guess so. Or just try again, eventually you will have a clear path. Or you could avoid saving on a ship unless you have another savegame back on a base somewhere.

    Bug: Repair when just armor/hull is damaged

    In other words, basic repair is for things you can't select and repair manually. There is no HUD for you to buy or sell or repair, so basic repair covers that.

    Stock vs. Milspec?

    They are in there as a lazy way to get a well upgraded ship, cept it isn't fun, and they aren't flexible. Won't be there in the next iteration. I have no problem with the concept of milspec itself ( a convenient way to shorten the phrase "what the military uses"), but in general it isn't...

    Having Trouble Getting Started (music, no gfx)

    Or you could change your firewall rules to allow connections from your own computer (or just unblick vegastrike.exe and soundserver.exe)

    A -just binary- download?

    sure it's possible. I don't know that we have one up anywhere. You can always compile the source from CVS for your platform of course, but we can probably get the executables up somewhere.

    Privateer Game Questions

    Blowing up their enemies helps too. Two artifacts eh.. man how did that slip through. Been several related reports, we'll lock it down for a patch.

    Am I missing something?

    Wait, you are saying you cannot open the files in MAX? You got the mesher to work then? If max can't open .obj files (wtf?) use some program like Deep Exploration to convert from .obj to .3ds And google.

    Mercenary guild render, mining base model

    The obvious stuff is of course which systems have a known number of bases and habitable planets. There seems to be some sort of base at Blackmane for example. Beyond that (and possibly harder to figure out) is the question of which jumps can accomodate which ships. We know that large ships...

    Star Wars Trailer

    Well there has to be time for Luke to grow up :) I think we can get a reasonable lower bound of 16 years between 3 and 4 out of that. Oh, anyone have a mirror for that? It's proving difficult to google for permutations of ep 3 new trailer download

    Mercenary guild render, mining base model

    That would be pretty sweet, and a great help to anyone working on WCU. I imagine it would also be useful info just to have for your site :)

    Mercenary guild render, mining base model

    As far as I'm concerned, WCU is pie in the sky. It is a load of work that no one has bothered to do and I doubt anyone ever will. Spiritplumber is actually doing something (basically by herself) so it's no surprise WCU is leaning towards her ideas. If people want to see it ever finish...

    PR 1.0: Talking turrets

    With ctrl-w they will quit sometimes, such as when there are no more enemies. If more show up you have to prompt the turrets to get going again. Might be changed, but until then you get to live without total automation ;)

    Am I missing something?

    It would help if you said what went wrong. Did you tryfollowing Hellcat's instructions? If so, what sort of message did you get etc etc. I can gaurantee that the mesher succesfully converts bfxm to obj. Looking at his example, you might try mesher ..\units\centurion\centurion.bfxm...

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

    I understand that it does with your current ship configuration but it doesn't always. It was similar in the original: you could maintain speed if you almost had enough energy. It is more pronounced in the remake, I know but if you don't have enough energy, your speed will drop.

    Campaign bug

    Campaign fixers? They are supposed to remind you what your mission is, not give you another one. If they do, it's obviously a bug :)

    Pitched battle with one *HELL* of a payout!

    It's the kind of mission you can't beat without already having the best ship ;) Seriously though, the game has a bit of a difficulty curve based on how far along you are. The more money you have, the larger the enemy flightgroups are. Thus, a mission like that should not come about until...
