I just gave the drayman a whole lot of armour.. I got so sick of trying to catch those hunters and kill them, only to have the autospawned 5 retros/pirates gliding in in between and destroying the drayman with the 2nd wave of hunters - so I made the drayman invincible. Now drayman is back to...

Huh? I've matched speed to other ships and reached speeds over 2000 w/ afterburners (on a Cent). Lots of times.

Yeah well, if Lynch is gone and he was dissapointed.. grab a save, or you're screwed.

If you've failed your missions and oxford won't let you start the missions again.. all you can do is grab an old save and do it again. Failing that.. well, you're screwed, you'd have to tinker with the campaignfiles to let you into the plot again.

repost, but important: Plot missions should not spew random encounters, ever (!!) - especially not att oxford 3 ! *cry*

A fully equipped stock Centurion costs about 400.000 - 500.000 so, it's your choice which way to go. I chose stock because I want to be able to change my configurations at will. Fully equipped means four guns, lvl 3 reactor/shields, missiles, decent radar (hunter 6i), tungsten all, turret etc.

I can recap the mission briefing for you. You were supposed to go to newcastle to contact a man called Smythe - who had information about the Oxford library codes. When you enter newcastle you get attacked and the mission ends. In failing to find this Smythe.. what would the next logical...

Wouldn't an enemy flying backwards, away from you - be one using the shelton slide.. a maneuver you can use yourself? How is that cheating? I agree though that autopilot sometimes drops you too close into the stack of enemy ships. I've had my shields down and getting hull damage by the...

How would I go about editing and adding to the storyline, for example if I wanted to branch out a new plot through fixers. I've noticed the /modules directory seems to list python files with something to this effect, but how would I go about tying these self made files into the main game...

You know.. the drag to steer option is what I started with, and it feels _exactly_ like when I played the original .. which is f*d up.. which consequently made me play with keyboard until a friend pointed out to me that the "Mouse on" option isn't broken :)

Where does one get the Tachyons for front guns anyway? I've only found the turret-tachyons so far.

Yeah, I figured that has with the texture and map loading too. It's not too annoying and doesn't detract much from the game really - since this game is soo cool and such a flashback to my younger days of Privateer in the 90's. Thanks for all the hard work guys.

I'm on a p3-500 w/ 390 mb of memory. I use 256 mb, Optimized Display Lists, Sharp filtered bases, Medium detail, 1024x768x32, reflective-per-pixel and it runs just fine for me. Only problem is the game freezes completely sometimes when you autopilot or jump - this lasts for about 10 seconds.
