It has to do with how well they aim. It does not let them turn faster. The AI used to overcorrect and steer wildly back and forth. Code was added to let them fly in a straight line (looks far less messed up). A result was that they could aim better than before, so in easy mode that new code...

Check your vegastrike.config. There are several instances of <var name="planet_detail", one for each detail level. Find the one corresponding to the level of detrail you are using and increase the number (must be a power of 2)

get close to it and press 'd' to dock with it

Like Brad mentioned, the first track posted is not the intro, bu rather the New Constantinople music. If anyone was thinking it didn't sound much ilke the one we were supposed to compare it to on the wcnews.com front page, that'd be why ;) It's been ages since I played my trombone :( Wonder...

I agree, that's a pretty nasty one. Enough so that I'd rather not discuss it openly at the moment, preferably not until a fix is worked out.

Part of staying true to the original means that you now have no incentive to earn more money. Loads of fun.

Or use pageup to scroll up through the messages until you get the text version of the pirate's message. Funny problem though :D What resolution are you playing at? A problem to be sure. We should scroll the text, or erase it and start at the top again or something. After landing on Edon...

Aye. While I'm not sure what is up with the displayed range, actual range is right on. I think the displayed range isn't taking one of the multipliers into account. Seems it is picking up <var name="gun_speed" value=".1"/> while missing this value <var name="game_speed"...

If you want to use a tractor beam, you have to actually buy a tractor beam. Tractor capability only makes it possible to mount a tractor beam on a gun slot for when you don't feel like mounting it on a Weapon slot (or using one in a turret)

Now, you can check to see if the fixer is animated or not (this works most of the time)

Preconfigured ships cause lots of problems and are being removed. Anyway, 4 full shots with 4 guns is 16 shots. Depending on your guns, 16 shots is quite a lot and certainly sufficient to drain your banks.

Ignoring for the moment the question of whether the Demon should even be available (addressed elsewhere) it is horribly unbalanced right now. Though cheaper than the Centurion, it is superior in many ways. Lower max shield is offset by the maneuverability and small size, and allows it to pump...

Centurion will be better: more torpedos ;)

Maybe you could stop bringing up the same point over and over again, especially after we've agreed with you. It's already gone in the version I am playing. Feel free to harp on about turrets though, as I simply disagree. That fidelity patch being made by someone else will set your mind at ease.

A fair number of bug reports are caused by people not remembering how things were in the original (no offense to Kraven). The Centurion justifies its reputation by being fast, maneuverable and heavily armed. About all the Orion has going for it are the thicker shields.

You are supposed to repair each component individually. Some components don't show up in the buy/sell menu (like your HUD instruments) so general repair fixes those.

I know what you mean about stiffness. I've got a Thrustmaster FCS Mark 1 that's lasted well over a decade, except the springs broke :) No resistance at all, make it quite easy to sit through those long dogfights. Centering it is a finicky matter of balance though haha

I thought originally that for WCU I'd increase the size of the gemini systems instead of shrinking everything else :) So yeah, go for it and see how it works.

Earlier versions of Vegastrike had buggy terrain when you flew into a planet, and a better implementation may return someday. Not sure how seamless atmospheric flight would work with the currently rather small planets, it would need to 'load' the level somehow. It would be a lot easier with...

Reminds me vaguely of http://www.bonsaikitten.com/ People get pretty worked up over stuff they see online :D
