two questions from a noob

I just installed the Privateer Remake on my Intel Mac today and I love it.
Two things: My ship doesn't appear to have afterburners and I can't find them for purchase in the upgrades. Whats up with that?
and the music works but there are no sound effects, any ideas?

Welcome Someonelse it may be because PR has not been updated for three years :wink: and all work on it has stopped there is a mod that is carrying on and that is Privateer Universe they have moved to the new VS engine version and have added some more story lines and ships from the WC canon that can justifiably be in the Gemini sector at the time the no sound effects may be a product of OSX's broken sound libraries explained here apart from that not sure on afterburner availability in RF haven't played it myself.

Enjoy the Choice :)

Do you know if I can port over my saved file from the first Remake?

With the change to the new version of the engine came a new save game function that kinda precludes backward compatibility so sorry besides the start of the game is different you have to earn you first jump drive so you are limited to the starting system till you complete the missions to unlock it also the download is directly from the subversion repository with may be a turn off but that save file is just a text file so easy to hack :wink:

Enjoy the Choice :)
