hellcat: I'm still trying to come up with some useful info on the music problem. Here goes: I started the game back up. A Galaxy at Perry. The Perry base music was there. So I just let it sit while I was working to see how long it would play. After about 20 minutes or so, I figured it would go on forever. So I launched out to go to New Detroit to get an Orion. I was about 50K kliks away at 299kps when the patrol music stopped. I was doing a cargo run to New Detroit. Some Retros jumped me, no music of any kind. I sucked up the Retros, and continued on. All other sound seemed to fade as time went by. I got to ND and the base music came on, but quit after about 5 min. I could barely hear the bartender audio, even with the PC sound cranked all the way up. Stripped the Galaxy, and got an Orion. Sold the tachyons for 10 credits, and bought them back for same. Some other price problems, but that was the most noticeable. Took 3 cargo runs to Newcastle, and the patrol music was back, but not very loud. I did the shift > thing and it brought it up a little. Got blowed up. Did a restart to get a visible tractor beam back, and all the sounds were back just like in previous releases. Patrol music still cuts out, but good volume everywhere. Course, I was only able to go back to Perry and ND before I ran out of time. Scarfed up 2 Retros with the Orion and 50 cargo space. Ship description when I bought it said I could get an expansion, but it was red when I tried.
Was I supposed to be able to sell my Tarsus?
Wendy: AIM? What the hell is that? What you guys need to get is that you should be amazed that I'm on a computer at all. To me they're things to play games on. Since DOS is gone, I'm totally lost trying to do files and stuff in Windows because I don't know how to not F it up. I crashed my Windows 95 way back cause I thought I'd free up some disk space by deleting some stuff I never used. XP is even more dangerous to mess with.
