Icehawk said:Acutally I do not think this a bug in the buggy sense (at least there is a certain twisted logic to it). Kitties LIKE IT when you kill other humans (Retros and Pirates hopefully, else shame on you) so since you are doing their job for them... as it were. You get better faction.
All I know right now: This system, i82854G/Celeron 2.0 GHz, blurry bases/hardware cursor (this gives me a cursor while landed, but not in space, all other modes give me neither), home system: Radeon 9600XT/P4 2.4 GHz, graphics turned all the way up (and all is perty).

This persistence of the outside universe through a reload of a saved game - aside
from being a way to create more salvage - also has effects in other ways. Ships are
still in-system and so on. This seems to affect certain missions in strange ways.
tasoth said:bug:
Holding the tilde key will lock your velocity vector as intended,
but this also works at speeds that normally require you to expend energy
(with the afterburner) to maintain.
How to reproduce:
1) Afterburn to top speed, stop holding the afterburn button
2) start Holding the tilde key
3) Note how you continue to fly at top speed without using any energy.
This enabled me to keep flying at top afterburn speed continuously, while
still having my energy bar recharge so I could fire at the confeds chasing my
tail.
No, it's a bug.SixGun said:That's not a bug, that's a version of autoslide (called the Shelton) that comes with the vegastrike engine. The manual explains it in detail.
Aron Figaro said:No, it shouldn't. There's no friction in space. Once you get your ship up to 1000/1200, then you cut your inertial dampners, which is what the Shelton does. That means there is NO FORCE slowing you down. Heck, you SHOULD be able to burn your rockets and keep speeding up past that point, but that's for the realm of other games, with more realistic physics models. It still works pretty well IMO.
