Query: Is it necessary to have turrets as 'children' components? If not, it may be possible to have the turret as an upgraded/upgradeable weapon placement hardpoint instead. Then the firing view could just be a 'directional' view from a different camera position relative to the ship perhaps...

Can there be a warning dialogue as in the original? When I accidentally (or even 'accidentally') hit a friendly or neutral, they'd give me a break for just one or two hits. Sometimes they'd even allow me to take a shield section down entirely. Perhaps scaling the damage 'allowed' by faction...

Understandable, but why have hull and armor both? Why not just have beefier armor(or a beefier hull)? Why not 'dumb down' the non military AI? The Kilrathi were always harder than the pirates and retros. I'm not sure that it was all hardware. I do also remember that fighting was very...

Perhaps I'm missing the point, but why are there two types of armor? In Pr1, when the armor was gone, any hit to the ship would kill the ship. The Orion (which I'm not defendig here) had the thickest fighter-class armor IIRC. Why is there a Hull in this remake? If it's necessary for programming...

Whomever you are, try new vidcard drivers. IIRC that's what fixed it for me.

How would that become supported? Through a Vegastrike code change, or more like a scripting differece? I ask because this seems like a fairly important part of the Privateer portion of WC. Fighting is a big part of Priv, and cargo is a major way to make money. Plus, I sometimes needed to have...

You make a good point, and I agree. I'll modify my point. There were six total missions in the computer at any one time inr the original. I've waded through 30+ bounty missions in the remake. I like the remake, and the missions in general, but I'd like the six missions per landing per station...

Y'know, I have to agree with Crowley here. Troy especially needs more insystem missions (Stacking Patrols! Whee!) and fewer outsystem missions. I really like how there are only 3 and 4 missions in the Merchies' and Mercs' Guild Computers. Perhaps that same thing could be done with the Mission...

I have the original stock Tarsus. I buy another ship. The cargo gets transferred. I go to the commodity exchange and look at the manifest there. it shows the cargo. Also has added a book or some wood...then I go back to the ship dealer. Swotch ships. Tarsus now has double the cargo that it...

Umm, I hacked my sav to add 1mil Credits so I could test modifications easily. In My fleet, whenever I change ships, I get any sold cargo back. I've sold Achilles a load of Iron, Tungsen and gems a lot of times. Every time I switch ships on the same base, I get these back, and lose upgrades to...

[edited out buncha stuff previously covered P.S. I sent that cvs file to that addy Thanks a lot guys! I didn't think of that exactly. I just now got a few screenies, and now with that Gladius I only have the dralthi gothri kamekh paradigm orion centurion broadsword and stiletto to get...

The reason I was asking about the HUD is that my 3d proggy is nerfed by either my vidcard setup or a screwup in my OGL ver. I have been having a tough time getting the ships to import into Milkshape or wings correctly (Textured). In MS the ones that (I assume) have LOD models are jumbled...

I'm not trying to get outta doing the HUD pics here, but...I think that I can. ;) A little question though: Since the video system in VegaStrike is so advanced, couldn't one make the default enemy view in the MFD be a top-down 3d Camera of the enemy? This would operate like the video views...

Right on! I've never been able to get reliable shield data (I'm awful at getting the info out of the .tre files) Thanks Mamiya!

You're welcome, and thank you Hellcat for listening ;). Now, I'm having trouble getting the ingame models on my screen with Wings3D, and am interested as to what program you used to get the pics and animations that you have from the origianl. I've had spotty luck with HCL's Viewer...or are...

I think that we're reading too much into this. Since Privateer Remake 1.0 is intended to have just what was in the original, why not just do what the original did: you let the rescued pilot off at the next base you come to, or you take off again with your slave. The rest is best left for WC...

@ilricca: I'd assumed that that was what the WC Universe Port is gonna be. Everything in WC Universe. Could just be me though. -Chemus, FanBoy of Doom! "or was that anti-Fanboy of DOOM! ?, Pasta/Antipasta...?"

Thanks for the links folks! I found Quatro Pro on my compu, and it turns the trick (hmm that may not be what I meant...) I have a question about the VSD units in the units.csv file. What do they represent? Being blind, I can't find it in the wiki. Thanks again :) -Chemus, Atlantean Hamster

Err, I don't HAVE excel, and won't spring for or pirate it. Works fubars the .csv fromat with a buncha quotes and removes some characters. I don't wanna edit this by hand. Any Excel replacement suggestions? I'm on dial up btw :)

No, he was a pilot, and he should have credits to buy junk. Slaves are slaves and can be freed to be passengers as per your script. just my cr.02
