Ascii Sector v0.5.2 Released Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

There's a whole bunch of new fixes and some neat features in the latest version of Privateer Ascii Sector. Chris Knudsen has the details below. Using the new Brilliance and Ultimate contraband even skews time during combat! Download the game here.

  • Fixed bug that would lock the door to your hotel room if you walked on and off your ship.
  • Various code changes in my continued effort to squash crashes due to SDL music playback.
  • Added anti-cheat measures.
  • Added a margin of "nothingness" around the walkable area on a base so that something at the edge of the area won't be hidden beneath the boxes with various information at the edge of the screen.
  • When on a base, you can now move the viewable area outside the view of your character, both while looking around and when aiming.
  • If you're critically wounded, you now also lose health while flying in space, so you can bleed to death while flying your ship.
  • If you have a repair droid, it will gradually clean up any blood on your ship from, uhm, "accidents".
  • Confeds and militia now detect corpses on your ship, fine you and attack.
  • All commodity events will now have a news item posted in your Quine5000 when they end.
  • Ships will now send an apologetic message if they hit or destroy a friendly ship.
  • When in Combat Mode, the game will now show you how much time you've used, as well as how much time an action takes.
  • Added Brilliance and Ultimate drugs to manipulate time usage when in Combat Mode (can currently only be acquired by stunning or killing a character that is carrying Brilliance or Ultimate).
  • Added quicksave (F8).

The 'D' series is divided between the game's first alternate losing path and the two important "Relay Station" missions - the ones which send Blair off as a Nephilim prisoner.

These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!
