    Missiles are your friend. Bye bye Talons.

    New HUD Target Images

    No problem, I will probably have new cargo images by the end of June.

    Astroids count on kill total?

    That is a known problem with turrets immediately after you buy them. The next time you start up the remake, turrets should behave normally.

    New HUD Target Images

    Haha, I've been waiting for you two to finish duking it out. :) I'll draw it soon. Should I redraw the New Detroit image as well? It's squished in its current form.

    How to switch of Asteroids?

    Ah, nuts. Not getting a new one of those anytime soon, I'm afraid. Will do. CPU limiting may be the bigger constraint for the asteroids, but there's definitely some GPU limiting as well with eye cnady turned on. In 1.0 pre-releases I played around lots with AA/AF settings versus asteroid...

    New HUD Target Images

    Hmmm. I drew New Detroit squished for 1.1. I asked if it was ok. Everyone said it was. Based on that, I should draw Oxford squished, too. Or, I should redraw New Detroit round, and draw Oxford round, and both can go into 1.2 or whatever is coming next. Argue amongst yourselves. :)

    How to switch of Asteroids?

    Yes, but that is a much more difficult change than just tweaking a config file. Once more advanced graphics processing is available in the Vega Strike engine, such as pixel shading, will that help with performance? I have a 6800GT on the way. We shall see if it can handle Rikel's 5 fields...

    New HUD Target Images

    Sure. Two questions: 1. What is it? It look very close to the agricultural planet, obviously, but it doesn't match my source art. 2. Do you really want me to draw it squished vertically like that?

    1.1 update - Sandoval is back!

    Yes, but there is no expectation that anything in pre-1.0 betas will work witha 1,0 release. A 1.1 patch, however, generally fixes things withou interrrupting your game. I'm sure a developer or two will be along shortly to clear this up, but for now don't assume the games just don't work; there...

    1.1 update - Sandoval is back!

    WCU is not yet compatible with 1.1. Don't use them together at this time.

    Privateer Remake 1.1 README

    I'm almost certain the installing the 1.1 patch over WCU will severly break things. WCU is not yet compatible with 1.1.

    9 years to complete this game!

    My fault. I figured I'd take the chance and assume you were running Windows. Anyway, Manual.pdf is there for your 97 pages of reading pleasure. There is an updated manual included in the 1.1 release - it's 98 pages. :)

    Starmaps

    Yes, they work. If you have not purchased maps, you can only see systems that have previously been visited, and systesm immediately adjacent to those systems. If you buy maps, you can see entire quadrants without exploring them first.

    Privateer Remake 1.1 README

    The readme included in the 1.1 release is not complete due to the fact that it was still be compiled while the 1.1 release was being packaged. Below is the complete 1.1 readme...

    Joystick problems anyone?

    Yes. Yes.

    9 years to complete this game!

    It's called Manual.pdf and it's in the main Privateer Directory. There is a link to it in the "Privateer" program group in your Start Menu. Personally, I think that it's not too hard to find.

    Cockpit for Paradigm/Drayman

    When you press "i" to take a screenshot, the crosshair and tagetting brackets are removed. If you want them in the shot, you will have to press PRINT SCREEN, pause the game, ALT+TAB out, and paste the screen dump into an image editor to save it.
