Are you sure the PDBS were set to auto fire or defensive on the weapons console? Other than that - yes, it's annoying.

I believe if you're within 5km of the jumping ship, you'll jump with it. Although usually if you're that close it's PD guns will be firing at you, so it's not such a good idea.

YES, I am a fan of <U><s>[u]</s>Starshatter<e>[/u]</e></U>. Have been such for a L O N G time. [:'(] [:)] [:D]<br/>

<t> I think you mis-interpretted my fixing comment. What I meant was that if I find such bugs in my own programs I fix them.<br/>
I don't suggest fixes to these bugs explicitly because they're obvious.<br/>
See number... 20 (random number)<br/>
Problem - ships running into stationary objects ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Not strange at all. There are characters like Moriartie that get there kicks and satisfaction from constantly complaining. He even admits his fault finding in other games.

<t> Hmmm. Unknown ship - they don't do anything. That I can tell they're no important to plot progress (though they do give you lots of points for the destroyable ones). You should be able to just leave it be. Eventually something should happen.<br/>
<br/>
You might want to look at the "Forces ...

<r> Big multi-million dollar studios can have pathetic support too whilst I've seen several Small independent types that have excellent support (I'm thinking <URL url="http://www.positech.co.uk/">http://www.positech.co.uk/</URL> here - another 1 person outfit).<br/>
So it is possible, just that ...

Well I've been on these forums for over a month and so far no real support from anyone associated with the game, apart from the odd post by the matrix guys which was for technical issues (most of which seem to remain unsolved).
So no - I'd say no support.

<r> Very well written Psycho.<br/>
But why try to recreate it? Why not try a new "episode" in the life of "$Rank Psycho and his continuing missions to rid the universe of Hegemony Scum". Just remember to do screenshots next time - you can pause the game at relevent times so as it doesn't get in the ...

<r> Yep - Though I much prefer the cap ships - fighters aren't done too well IMHO.<br/>
It is possible<br/>
Actually no. I use the keyboard to fly the fighters. Been so long since I've flown a fig I'd forgotten. It's not hard using the KB - Mouse was too tricky if I recall (using standard model ...

<r> To answer the original questions:<br/>
<br/>
1) You can't change sensitivity - keyboards are digital - either on or off. You either roll or don't. Of course in theory you can change the _amount_ you roll but I don't think SS gives you that option.<br/>
<br/>
2) You can change controls in the ...

Yet again I shall point out that the game works just fine (a little laggy in large battles) on a GeForce 440MX. The only real bug is planets turning yellow at times. Thus any newer cards shouldn't have any problems from a hardware side.
Drivers however.....

<r> I'm thinking that the fact you could get your squad to kill themselves in this manner is a bug.<br/>

<r> Operation Firestorm - destroying one of the carriers ended that campaign for me (not really a spoiler, just a warning - if you want the camp to go on, don't do that <E>;-)</E> ). Everything else seems to be fair game.<br/>
<br/>
Only in Nightfall does killing a carrier not result in the ...

So why hasn't this simple fix been implemented? I believe this bug was around before version 5.

<r> Dragon carriers have weak spots. Hint: Try targetting the PD guns <E>;-)</E><br/>
<br/>
The problem with taking out carriers is that when they jump into another system, if there is an immobile object in that system, there's a very good chance they'll ram it and die before you can kill it ...

Did you get the carriers (Note: NOT a goliath class)? Killing one of them was what ended my campaigns. Otherwise you'll fly a bunch of empty missions for a while before it quits (I believe).
You can see enemy forces in the "forces" screen pre-flight.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>War has never, ever been fair. Why should we ask for our simulation to be?<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
Because it's a game therefore its primary purpose is to be fun. There are already all manner of non-realistic aspects within the game, one more wouldn't hurt.<br/>

<t> Well when I tried encom the enemy broadsword still started coming toward me at about 125km and torping me as soon he got within 100km (which meant instant death due to lack of shields). Also I had difficulty turning things on/off when at lower encom ratings. Thus I gave up on it and try the ...

<t> Find another game to play? Well apart from the fact that I come across bugs in practically every game I play. :-p<br/>
Also, had I paid money for this game, why would I want to set it aside to play another? That would be a bad idea from a fiscal perspective.<br/>
<br/>
As I pointed out, I ...
