3rd Oxford Mission
- Thread starter Khavik
- Start date
I love this remake!!!
I actually finished this mission last night on the first try.
Ship: Demon
Guns: 4 Tach w/ autotrack
Missles: We dun need no stinking missles!
Torps: See missles =)
I Don't know if I was just lucky or what. Of course the Drayman was limping to Oxford but she held together.
The 4 tachs with autotracking is awesome. When I auto'ed in the demons were pounding on the Drayman. I flew in and took the one on her tail which was basically stopped and opening up with full guns. I blew it up quick and went after the others. I think the key was quick kills. The autotracking helped with that.
The second wave was tougher... basically because they would not fire at me... they just kept firing at the Drayman.
On another note... I'll take the gun config and the speed of the Demon over a centurion any day. I had actually scrapped enough money together to fully outfit a centurion. 3/4 million credits later there she stood on the flight deck in New Detroit. The sleek design... hard lines. I was drooling as a got into the cockpit.
I blasted off for glory and got about .05 klicks from the planet before I was dusted by a bunch of scrub Kilrathi. How embarrassing. The Centurion handled like a pregnant waterbuffalo after being in the Demon and the gun spread leaves a lot to be desired.
Anyway... Having a complete blast with the remake... This was one of the best games of all time IMHO...

Ditto, I friggin' *LOVE* PR, and I can't wait for 1.1. Kudos to you guys, big-time.
Relating to this mission, I think I figured out a great way to play through the game over multiple versions:
1.0: Grab a Demon ASAP, load it to the gills... almost done.
1.1: Centurion, baby... "pregnant waterbuffalo" it may be, but I still have visions from the original (literally, I have dreams about this) of floatin' in space as the baddest mofo in Gemini.
Later versions: Play around with whatever other ships I can.
Thanks again guys.... a labor of love that a bunch of us, er, love.

Just won Oxford on the third attempt.
On the first I was surprised by the Demons being green targets. Arghh. On the second I realized that the enemies are persistant, so the first wave had the leftovers from the first attempt. I killed them all and then reloaded and made sure my second nav point was where the hunters were hanging out. With my escorts (two Galaxies) I suddenly had a bunch of ships firing on the attackers and cleaned them up quickly.
Then did some Retro wacking -- gee, the computer generated missions will set up almost 20 retros -- that is a lot of Retros to whack in a Demon (autotrack, milspec tachyon cannon -- I need to figure out if milspec tachs differ from regular). Autotrack seems to mess up the ITS for aiming, but you can't sell it once it is installed.
Well, off to Palan.
This game is great!

Ah, thanks. I've been looking all over
I'm wondering if since energy seems to not be a problem I should switch to Ionic Pulse Cannon or not, but I'll hold off, since I'm enjoying the tachyons.
Finally got the tractor beam to work. I'd had some situations where it seemed to work automatically, but I got a handle on turning off the other guns and firing it and made a rescue! Hurrah!
Printed out the short summary of commands. Too bad Pause doesn't pause the game sometimes and that bringing up the map doesn't pause the game at all.
Hola, yo edite el archivo centurion.blank.cvs, en MS EXCELL 2003, en el invetario de armas, en lugar de limitar los misiles a 10, les puse 10000, y entonces fue facil dispararles a todos.
Pero la nave no resistio, mucho...
Asi que edit tambien la velocidad, los valores del capacitor principal, le cambie de nivel al motor, a los escudos, puse todas las mejoras a HEAVY, y ademas mejore la capacidad del combustible para saltar realizar los saltos hacia otros sistemas...
Lamentablemente perdi la mision 3 de Oxford, y ya no se que mas hacer, no puedo entrar a la Libreria, y no puedo conseguir la ubicacion del Deleretic Ship, tampoco puedo avanzar mas....
Por favor ayudenme, como regreso a la mision 3 de Oxford, o como puedo seguir a la fase siguiente...
Gracias..

the 3rd mission was by far the hardest in the game (no probs with palan as i only have to protect my self, and not some good for nothing, wuss drayman).
i often found the drayman was blowen up before i even got anywhere close to it, and then i would end up getting killed by the large numbers of deamons. all this talk of misiles, i am pretty sure i have fired my entire load of misiles at deamons and hit nothing. i also dont use auto tracking so it is almost impossible. however thanks to the respawing bug, where everything remains after you die, includeing your wing men, i have started to have more fun than i though possible. useing this bug, you can build up large forces of wingmen, (i have had a fleet of 6 steletos, 3 braudswards, and 3 galexys) they had no problem takeing out the deamons, and then, you can lead them into fights with confeds or kilrathi. you leave your wingmen in one system, then jump to the next and atack any one so they will follow you and jump back into the system where you left your wing men, doing this to your hearts content, i have mannaged to create some very large battles involving all factions. this is especially fun when you are in a paragidim or the kilrathi cap ship, (you can switch ships to your wing men if you want) and then you can have some cap ship battles.
sad as it is, i have to admit i have had more fun doing this then following the plot!!! (i played privateer 1 and rf to death when it was in dos). this becomes an awsome feture when you take several missions in the same system that involve large numbers of kilrathi, retros or pirates, and lead them into battles with one another.
if this bug is 'fixed' in the new releace, i think i proabbly won't upgrade.

Hi, I'm sick of trying Ox3.
Somebody said one could edit either the demon's or your own ships speed... so how do i do this?

For your own, take a look at .privateer100/serialized_xml, there's a folder for your savegame and inside the csv holding almost every stat about your ship.
For the others, kind of the same, but in units/units.csv
Be careful editing with Excel, if you're in windows, as that usually wrecks the files. Make a backup before doing anything, and if possible try to use Excel only to find where you have to make changes, and use a text editor to actually make them (like notepad).
