Unfortunately while I love the Trek movies, I just never got into too many of the games... I might check out Orion Pirates if I can find it super cheap somewhere...

Thanks for the info... when I get some free time I'll check em out...

<t> In no way am I bashing Starshatter. I love the game and it gives me a great space opera fix that I haven't had in years (i.e. Tie Fighter).<br/>
<br/>
I recently got into Harpoon3 and was just wishing that it could represent engagements in space. Has there been a game like this made? I'm not ...

I'm having trouble connecting to the server...

Do you have to input a port number for it to work?

<t> rkhigdon, can you elaborate on your long distance stand off tactics? I always close at high speed, use my MRM's to disrupt the enemy flight, and then close in for kills with SRM's and guns, both of which necessitate being fairly close to the enemy. I just don't think that you can rely solely on ...

hey Deadly Shoe... would you be ok if I included that information into my new tactics manual for SS? You'll get credit for sure!

<t> Regarding the ECMON levels and the scanners... have any of ya'll been able to tell a difference between STD and PAS setting in the sensors? Does it just mean that you can't target any ship but they will still show up as blips on the scanner? <br/>
<br/>
Regarding the camera, I haven't found ...

Thats a good point Tex,

You know what would make everything much simpler? Just increasing the degrees of time shift. If we had all the way up to 32x or something of that sort then there would be little to no need of the "auto" function....

Its no problem slickvic... I appreciate you putting a persistent server up in the first place. If you need any help playtesting it let me know!

<t> I fully agree about carrying more SRMS's than default though you get into trouble if the SRM launcher gets damaged...<br/>
<br/>
I have been using the augmenter when trying to avoid... man its been long since i've played an aviation game... i should know you shouldn't hit your burner after ...

<t> Hey guys... With Pheagey about to put his site up with the intentions of the being a comprehensive SS resource, I felt that we should start gathering together all our experiences into what works, what doesn't, realistic ranges for weapons, how many of a certain class cap ship to take out another ...

Pheagey... I'd love to help contribute... I won't be worth too much in the modding sense as my 3d skills aren't the best even if i can make simple ships...

Let me know how I can help out...

<t> Well altmunster and I are both joined just fine... But i just found out that it's not his server. But we can both launch into the flight environment... AKA i can even pilot the carrier around but can't launch pkgs or fire.... <br/>
<br/>
Altmunster claims he's used that server successfully as ...

<t> Hey all, Just wondering if any of ya'll have gotten a persistent server to work?<br/>
<br/>
Altmunster and I have been messing around with for about 30 min now and we both can connect and get into the game it just says observer on all the ships we attempt to command...<br/>
<br/>
Any ...

Where'd ya go? Its LHX from earlier... Well if you still want to try and play tonight let me know...

I'll check this thread every now and then...

<t> It seems that all the audio is done with Ogg Vorbis files... (.ogg extension)<br/>
<br/>
A very nice compressible format that I use for dvd backups and some of my home audio collection...<br/>
<br/>
Hopefully there will be some way to cue .ogg files to radio commands in the mods... would be ...

I'd LOVE to see a dock and redeploy immediately option... I have noticed there's a dock order in the nav points but I haven't experimented with it as of yet...

The ability to grab more missiles when defending the carrier would be a great addition!

<t> I'm planning on buying the game tomorrow as soon as I finish my application to professional school (which is taking WAYYYY too long btw... hehe)<br/>
<br/>
How large do the fleet battles get? I don't want any spoilers but I'm trying to get an idea on how grand a multiplayer or single player ...

hmmm i have all 8 buttons and 8 way hat and rudder twist and throttle working with my ancient original production sidewinder....

I'm sorry that I don't know of a fix...

<t> I want to say thank you for making the most amazing effort at giving us a more "realistic" space sim. Don't get me wrong, I loved the old wing commander space opera days and XvsTie but this is something special. Now I've only played the demo so far but I must say I was absolutely blown away just ...

<t> I just ran into the whole oldie sidewinder 3d pro running under XP problem. The thing is it works BEAUTIFULLY under XP without having to download any drivers. The catch is that Microsoft's websites all seem to say that it won't run and call me paranoid but I think its a trick to get you to buy a ...
