    A strange bug...

    I've got the latest version of the WC:U files, and I'm experiencing a rather strange, and annoying bug: Whenever I land on a base or a planet, I continue to hear every shot being fired in the system I'm in. I hear shots fired, shields being hit, armor being shot off, ships being destroyed...

    philosophic problem with Jump Points

    Back when Wing Commander first came out, a friend, who was in love with the first few Wing Commander games, talked me into playing a few missions. I recall several missions where I had to guard jumpholes, scan ships, and prevent Privateer's from escaping through the jumpholes. Well... I never...

    Privateer 2 on XP - yes or no

    No... It was Buffalo something. And the game was definately pre-3D accellerators, and it was also pre-DirectX. I recall complaining to Origin that I was having video problems, and wondered why it wouldn't work with Windows 95. They sent me a floppy with the patch on it, still got it...

    Possible suggestion box improvements/ideas

    In the newest version, released last night, the Delphinus has been replaced by the Hornet. You can edit the "New_Game" save game, and change Tarsus.begin to Tarsus.stock, and then start a new game. (I used Wordpad or Notepad to edit it.)

    Harder to do pltline in WCU

    Well, I've had no real problems... Of course, I didn't start the missions until I had a better ship(s). For Tayla's missions, I usually use a Demon (Escort), very little can catch it in ab. A Centurion, with the rear turret on auto, ain't bad, either. One trick, if you remember to use it, is...

    "A leader is someone who inspires others to accomplish the impossible." I can't remember where I heard that... Probably when I was in the military. One of the outfits I was in had a motto: "LEAD! If you can't lead: FOLLOW! If you can't follow: GET OUT OF THE WAY! 'Cause I'm coming...

    Feed((back))

    When I created the Gemini Sector, the information I found stated that the Asteroid Field in the Pender's Star system was the remnants of both the star, and any planets that it had had. (It went Super-Nova, destroying everything.) Therefore, there is no star to find. The name of the system...
