So I reckon I shouldn't quote the game where it says, "Damn, you're ripping me apart?"

Don't mind me, I find it amusing. Somehow it's "ok" to run guns, sell dope, kill everything that moves, not to mention the sexual innuendo that the game is rife with ("adult situations" abound) yet a word here and there are "bad'' because some poor innocent child may read it? I am definitely missing the boat somewhere........... but that's not unusual.

On another note, I'm picking up from reading more of the threads that you are one of the ones creating this stuff. How do you learn how to do it? If it's a long answer, send me a PM so we don't clutter up the forum, but I'm interested. Shame ya'll can't get paid for all your hard work.

I think the ATTs will make the faster moving bolts like lasers much more accurate. ATs have an expanded angle to shoot, one will find it rather unuseful with guns like plasmas or neutrons, but overall, it is a benefit for the dumb turret AI.

Your "fleet" actually is no fleet, but you can switch between your ships without having to sell them and their whole equipment all the time, as it was in the original Privateer.
Bubba wrote:Not really sure if the auot tracker is doing any more than regular shooting, but I'm not selling them. I didn't notice it making the photon torpedoes much more accurate. Well maybe a little more accurate, but they still don't turn do they?
Note that autotrackers are designed to work with guns, still they can be used for special equipment. You need an advanced radar and a lock on your target (L key), then you'll notice the hell of a difference.

It also was in the original... only retros are eternal foes, and even this can be reversed theoretically.
Bubba wrote:Hey, while ya'll are being so helpful, does anyone wanna come help me pour some concrete and set a door?
Depends on where you are living... I'd need a flight ticket. I prefer flying from Stuttgart.
Bubba wrote:But since you remarked so gently as well as eloquently, I will do my best to temper my "enthusiasm" as it were, just for you. Fair enough?
I think targ wanted to remind you that this is a public forum, which would mean the same as you would swear and curse while walking around on a street. The forum is not under our control. From time to time an admin looks around and might ban you for swearing and cursing, which would be a pity for you could no longer post questions, see?
targ wrote:Now I feel awkward for bringing this up. Ah well, I'll say what I feel should be said anyway. *Hits Submit*
I don't think one should feel embarassed to stand for something he/she personally doesn't care for, but the community standing behind him/her. This is a warm and fuzzy place and shall be bewared, IMHO. Targ did that well and without any counterstrikes beneath the belt line, which is a clear sign for personal and common experience, a fact that doesn't seem to be advanced in other places.

EDIT: Hey Bubba, congratulations to your newest GG forum rank:

Naw man report away. I'm laughing my butt off. Little losers with a belly full of self importance like to feel "cool" by using the mod/god powers to change things. I'm just glad that I could give them the entertainment, as long as they are amused, I'm amused. After all, isn't THAT why we all come to message boards? Amusement?

As far as flying from Stuttgart? Not a chance pal lol. Although you DID answer one question I was going to ax you, are you really in Germany. Ich lieben auf Bamberg zwie jahre. (Think I spelled two wrong, but just damn, it's been 20 years since I had to speak or write the language lol). Phonetically (in english) it would be "zvie". Over here we are covered up in Mexicans and other Hispanics so my linguistic (non)skills have been devoted in that direction. What the hey, I'm now basically illiterate in at least 4 languages now, how's THAT for an accomplishment? Oh and how about if I say shiesse? Or is that also verboten? LOL I just ain't right................

Hey, BTW how do you complete a cargo mission with a freakin' Draymon? I tried shooting the cargo off my ship in space (he was docked at a station) but apparently it hit him and blowed him up (like that usage of blowed lol, it's redneck for blew) into a brazzilion pieces. I reloaded to try again, but alas, the delivery was different the next time. So Wot's eh the deal? (does ANYONE yet recognize the Umma Gumma reference?)

EDIT: Oh and why does this thing time out on me? I have the site open as I'm playing the game, but after a couple of hours when I hit reply, I have to log in again. Can't remember that happening to me before on a message board.........

EDIT: Changed twie to zwie (still probably wrong and deleted a redundant "now".

It just gets better and better. I just attempted (and finished) the mission that took me 300+ tries on the Gold version. Just golly gee, it took me one time and I expended 7 missiles. Yeah I'm playing the EASY mode but that was my freaking point. On easy mode it SHOULD be "easy". It should NOT take over 325 tries and a fluke of luck to get through the 6th (or is it the 7th?) mission of the game. Gold is fornicated up like polio. Their "sticking to the original game" is as shallow as a Baptist saying that Jesus turned water into freaking grape juice, all pasteurized like Welsh's. LOLOLOL. Wonder if I will be able to get too Oxford next (I couldn't on the EASY version of the gold game).

Just <golly gosh darn it>, (wouldn't want to offend a child here who is dealing drugs and killing things by saying da......... nevermind) can't wait to finish this up and move on to a higher level after I relearn my keystrokes. THIS is why I love this game. For the nth time. GREAT JOB people on your recreation.

I should mention here that Mamiya (Otaru) and his merry band of coders (including SpiritPlumber of WCU fame) built Privateer Remake on the foundations of the Vegastrike engine & game.

The rest of us are just standing on the shoulders of this wonderful piece of work. The Parallel Universe mod is our way continuing where PR left off in the spirit of it's developers.

Mamiya & Spirit would be very happy to see you enjoying this game, Bubba - expect more of this great stuff in the near future.

We could really use Mayimati and Spiritplumber back, if at all possible. What are our chances of regaining their interest?

Obviously, a lot of cultural context - this is about as far as I got using Altavista's Babelfish languate translator :)

Mamiya (Jason Winzenried) has been gone a long time - SpiritPlumber , who knows?

It really all depends on if they regain their interest in PR and/or WCU again. One can always hope :)

We're in a fix right now with this .exe and need some help - the more help, the better - so do you think it would be worth sending an email their way about this?

You Kinda got mixed up Bubba. I did that when i first started learning German. I remember most now but still am rusty. I would love to learn Spanish.

Spiritplumber was supposed to be back in may. Still not back. Dunno about Maimya.

Edit: z30, yeah alot changes with the grammer and context, zwei was spelt wrong.
