Not really familiar with how the AI works in the Freespace engine. I seem to remember that in Standoff and Wc3, as the Kilrathi got smarter and tougher, so do the Confed pilots. Does Saga work the same way? Am replaying on Hard, and it seems like it's a lot harder to keep some of them alive...

I've never ran into the memory crash bug until today. I tried restarting my computer, and got to the Standoff logo on the screen, then it crashed again. Are there any solutions to this one yet?

I'm not sure why it wasn't working before, but as soon as I read your post, went back and tried it again, and no problems! So, thank you!

Point taken. Actually went back and re-watched the movie. It wasn't as bad as I remember :) - maybe because when it came out originally, I was in my early 20's, and nothing was cool enough. Either way, it did indeed add a level of understanding to the characters and the Kilrathi; although...

In the episode 4 Losing Path mission "Backlash", they mention the possibility of taking out a convoy after striking at the Fralthra (and the two Ralatha). I've taken out the capships, but I can't seem to select the Nav Point for the Convoy? Is there a specific requirement that I'm not meeting...

The first time I beat WC3. When it first came out, I hadn't played WC2 yet, but had played WC1. My cousin told me that Luke Skywalker was in it, and I was in. It was really great to see all the...lesser-known...actors in there I knew - Biff, Luke, that British guy from Clockwork Orange. The...

Yeah, and when I ran SM2 through DosBox manually, it doesn't happen. WC2 and SO1 & 2 work just fine. Weird stuff...

Just got myself a brand-shiny-new computer, and re-downloaded WC1, 2, 3, and 4 from GOG. When I went to launch WC1 for the first time, the picture doesn't fill the screen, It goes all the way to the top, and the edges, but stops about two inches from the bottom. This gives the game a...

So, long time...doing a replay. Found a list of all the achievements and medals you can get, and am on Hyperion 2, trying to keep the Hermes' health above 89% (it's one of the bonus goals). It looks like that means it can't take even one torpedo. I've flown it (and reflown it) several times...

So, in the interest of setting a big group play for Arena, what about Sunday the 16th (that's tomorrow) at around 6:00 or so PDT? I don't know what time zone you're in, but if we could get a dozen or more people in on this, that'd be sweet

Yes, I'd love to. Spread the word!! I'll be on tomorrow. I use my stepson's username: TwoDollarsOnly. Should be on tomorrow night (Friday the 14th) around 8:30 or so , Pacific Time. To LeHah and Mace; you're on the list, whatever that means...:)

Me? It's 10:05 Pacific Time, Sept. 10th. I'm there right now. So, step into the Danger Zone, and prepare to have your ass handed to you braised, with a light curry sauce for just a bit of spicy! BLAM! That' right, I'll talk shit if that'll get some people on Arena! Don't like it? Come log...

So, it doesn't look like anyone really plays Arena, but I just got it, dammit, and I wanna play! So, this thread is just for that. Whenever you're on (or gonna be on) Arena, you can post it to this thread, and all the wingnuts out there can join in, and maybe...just maybe....

Just started with Arena myself; didn't even hear about it until recently, and just downloaded it last week, and no one wants to play (at least not at the same time I do) :( So, I'll lead off setting up this play date... Any wingnuts wanna get down on some Arena, I'll be booting it up tomorrow...

I love coming back to this forum; always interesting to see the creative dialogue flowing!! I take Quarto's point about the length of the missions in Saga. And the in-flight dialogue can be...well, you know, especially if you have to replay it several times. My two cents aren't worth a penny...
