<t> 1) I’m now certain that with the introduction of 4.5.0 the old issue of fighters colliding with the carrier on landing has resurfaced. This was a nightmare of a bug that was previously squashed. It’s back with a vengeance in the new patch. <br/>
<br/>
2) Also, with 4.5.0 I can no longer right ...

<t> In terms of fending off fighter ASM's in a capitol ship, I had found that setting the PDBs to 'auto' then pressing shift+u to select the incoming threats worked pretty well in the prior versions except that it often times resulted in a CTD. In 4.5 the CTD has been fixed but it appears to me that ...

<t> I'm trying to work with the mission editor to create some custom missions. I can't seem to figure out how to force a capitol ship to use a farcaster. They keep using the quantum drive instead. Below is a simple "test" script that I've been messing with. My approach has been to <br/>
1) set ...

<t> Yes, I've been wondering myself. A few weeks ago it seemed as if it was right on the verge of release. Maybe there were some issues in the 4.5B testing. I'm curious if a few little pesty items are going to be resolved in 4.5. 1) When in a capitol ship you drop to EMCON 1 and then try to return ...

<t> I've not had much luck in intercepting fighters before they unleash their deadly load of ASM's into my cap ships (except for the aforementioned method to which millo has graciously resolved the bug with). Perhaps if the ASM release range was pulled in a little that would bring the fighters in a ...

Yes, actually I've found that the PDB's do a great job with torps. It's the ASM fired from the fighters they have trouble with on DEF mode.

Thanks for the bug squash Milo and if I haven't said it enough, this is truly a great game.

Perhaps not. But the CTD associated with the mannual targeting sure is. It's too bad really that the PD's wont engage ASM's on their own. IMHO I feel the game play is a little unbalanced in favor of fighters.

cheers

I miss-spoke. What I should have said is that the problem is with in-coming ASM's dispatched from fighters. Not torps. The DEF-mode PDB's have no problem hitting torps but they won't target ASM's unless you target them yourself by switching to auto.

<t> I'd like to report a consistant crash that I've noted for sometime now only I've just gotten around to reporting it. It's highly reproduceable. I've found that the only way to fend off in-coming torps is to set my turrents to "auto"-target and then select Target Nearest Threat" (Shift-Y) as the ...

Thanks! I'll be sure to back this one up this time!!

<t> Help!!!!!<br/>

I tried clearing off some space on my hard drive the other day by uninstalling software that's been collecting dust. I attempted to uninstall Starlancer since it's been sitting idle ever since star shatter came out. When I was doing that, however, I was half asleep and ...

Technically, you shouldn't be allowed to set navpoints for the ships above you before the mission starts either. But due to an oversight on my part, the game does not currently enforce this rule. I'll have to fix that.<e>[/quote]</e ...

<t> frigates are ideal for supressing fighters. I use them as escorts and send them out to intercept incoming fighters since capitol ships are rather poorly suited to handle incoming fighters. When I encounter a heavy capitol ship engagment I typically get them out of the area via Q-jump. They're ...

<t> After the 4.0.2 patch the game has been very stable for me. I had some issues early on but I think it was related to my Norton anti-virus. I've since not had any CTD's. As far as the capitol ship merging as a result of Q-jump, I rather like the challenge of that. Q-jump is risky this way since ...

<t> I think you need to change your philosophy and don't get hung up on a particular ship. Think in terms of your fleet, not just one particular ship. I've completed all but one of the campains so far and have mannaged in all cases to keep "most" of my fleet intact. I just take the badly wounded and ...

I've noticed this too but I'm not sure if you really do remain in passive mode or if it's just a false reading on the hud.

yes you keep your rank

<t> I'm having the same issue with fighters crashing into the CV when they return. Last night I lost about a third of the fighters when they came back to dock. I've tried several orientations and velocities of the CV but they don't seem to help. Last not I didn't move the CV at all and stayed facing ...

<t> Following the install of the new patch 4.0.2 I started the Shinning Fortress Campaign. I transferred to the Furious CA group and accepted an assault mission. Before starting the mission I set waypoints to consolidate all my ships in my sector (Dante?). This required a Q-jump for a few DD groups ...

<t> I experienced a great one last night. Unfortunately I don’t have the errlog.txt on me right now but I thought I’d report it anyway. I was in F3 mode observing a battle raging between the Hyperion CV group and two enemy CA and a DD. When the CV Hyperion fired it’s starboard PDB the game froze so ...
