    A request for moderators

    Could the moderators on this board stop closing and censoring threads? You are destroying any sense of community and participation this project has created. This board is turning into a Retro-only zone, the WCU fans have all left for the vegastrike forums... It would be nice if rational...

    asteroid collisions

    IIRC, asteriod collisions in the original were much more damaging? I remember that one asteriod would drop shields, and the next kill armor and probaly the ship (if flying thru with afterburners...). Asteriods were so dangerous and hard to avoid, at least for me, that running away on...

    component damage text/ repair system

    I'm using a cvs VS binary (linux) within privateer, so maybe I'm missing the latest additions, but... 1. I can't read the damage screen in the MFD or no-cockpit view because of the background image of the ship beneath it. Like in this screen shot...

    other ships. And stuff.

    I know it's been discussed before but... I maxed out my centurion by the oxford campaign missions... so the game was getting a little dull, even at hard level... To make things interesting, I edited the csv to allow higher reactors and shields, but now I feel like a cheater. But, are...

    speech problems in oxford during campaign

    Hi all, on linux .9b, I'm having strang audio issues... like the librarian starts talking as soon as I land, then as soon as I get the mission briefing, the 'haven't started' mission dialog starts as well. Missions seem to work, though... Sorry for the rant. keep making priv-remake...

    bug with energy levels?

    Hi, I have a shield 4 lvl 5 and a reactor lvl 5 in my centurion (I modiifed the csv to allow it but this shouldn't be the cause of this bug). At normal usage, with shields at full strength, afterburners burn down the energy to nothing pretty quickly. But, sometimes (it usually happens in...

    selling upgrades tractored in space

    Sometimes there are ship upgrades floating thru space, I guess after a battle that I missed (when I blow merchants up, I never seem to get any of these components in the wreckage). After I tractor them in, and then try to sell them at a base commerce screen, they're classified as "space...

    confused about ECM

    Does ECM work? I hit alt-e to start it up, but how do I know if it's working? Is there an indicator light or something? I don't notice any power drain or anything. After I land and launch again, do I need to restart the ECM? I can't tell if its off or on and if I've disabled or enabled it...

    problems with using turret tractor

    For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to tractor things in with the rear turret. These are the steps I follow: 1. Target item. 2. hit alt-t to have turret select, then ctrl-t to have turret AI on (after making sure turret is set to tractor, not guns). 3. Fly by item so that rear...

    autotracking for missile mounts bug?

    When I purchased an autotracking enhancement for a missile mount, I noticed: 1. There is no way to sell the autotracking again becuase it doesn't show up under the upgrade listing for your ship. 2. I'm not sure, but it seemed to cost much less than the 90k. 3. Autotracking for...

    music and sound effects at same time under linux?

    Can I have my cake and eat it too?! I tried this solution @ http://www.crius.net/zone/showpost.php?p=249017&postcount=18 but wasn't sure what to do with this file, and didn't see any effect. I can run it with effects working or with music but not both at the same time. This is...

    Hi, Want to get this running under linux so I can stop booting windows... After I run the installer, I cd into the privateer directory, and then what? none of the sh files are executable, if I try to chmod +x vegastrike.sh and then run it, nothing happens, no errors, no output, nada. There...

    Nav map confusing as all hell

    Hullo, I can't seem to figure out the nav map: 1. Icons for system features are too big, they overlap each other and the text (this at 800x600 resolution). The text for buttons along right side of screen are too big for the buttons as well. 2. The 2D view results in icons being on...

    sound problems

    Hello, On the setting for "all sounds" and 512 MB RAM, I'm not hearing all sounds ( I believe there is a missile lock tone as mentioned in the manual) or any music except the mission complete music. This is on windows with a 1 ghz athlon. I tried to hit 'S' as the manual says to skip track...

    Some questions for privateer-remake:

    Hello, Just played the game for 2 hours... wow what fun! Really like the graphics and playing in the privateer world again. The asteriod fields are AWESOME. Large, random asteriods going all over the place... makes it scary. Kind of feels like that scene in the Millenium Falcon from...
