It describes just right your inexperience with <B><s>[b]</s>space games<e>[/b]</e></B>. Besides, what use of cockpits would be in <B><s>[b]</s>space games<e>[/b]</e></B> like Homeworld and Master of Orion?

<r> Incorrect Matti,<br/>

I guess you didn't read my earlier post, in this thread, where I said... <br/>
<br/>
"I can only think of two other space sims that didn't have cockpits and that was Freespace 1 & 2"<br/>
<br/>
Don't you just feel silly when this kinda thing happens? lol <E ...

<t> If it was Milo's vision, then as far as gameplay is concerned, then it isn't a great one. When I spoke to Milo on the newsgroup before he released Starshatter. He said the reason why there weren't any cockpits, was because they would take too long to make lol.<br/>
<br/>
In the future they may ...

I hear what you're saying Master, check my other post out. There will be some good news... hopefully sooner than later. The blinker wearing, stare straight ahead brigade need not apply

<r> I can only think of two other space sims that didn't have cockpits and that was Freespace 1 & 2. I wonder if the people who say they are not needed, have not played many space orientated sims and think that no cockpits are the norm (and god knows why people would want to turn them off?)?<br ...

I haven't voted as I didn't like the loaded option where it said... 'or do you think they are a waste of time' (or words to that effect) and also, I'm making my own for all the fighters.

<r> Thank you Milo, for the reply. That's all I was asking for.<br/>
<br/>
Now do I go back and read the fanboi posts in this thread? Nah probably not, as you've given me the answer I was looking for. It's always best to speak to the organ grinder rather than the monkey's <E>:)</E><br/>
<br ...

If it doesn't work I'll send you my code.

<t> Stop making a fuss? To be quite honest I resent that statement. In fact it would have been better if you'd not replied to this thread at all, as your reply isn't informative or helpful. If you haven't anything positive to contribute then I would have thought it best not to post anything.<br ...

Well I thought someone from Matrix would give an expected date of release. Failing that, where's Milo these days?

C'mon Milo, I've supported you by purchasing this game, the least you could do is post a reply regarding what's going on?

Damn, yet again mod creations that in reality don't do very much

Here's hoping for something useful one day to be made.

Reading that back, I do sound very grouchy... however it is morning time and I've only had one coffee so far, lol.

I was hoping for the stock ships to have add-on cockpits.

Will these ships you mention, replace the ones in the campaign? If so then I'll go get them...as soon as I know which ones to get.

Yes I'm impatient and I want it now lol.

Seriously, folks at Matrix, when's the RC going to be available for download?

Well I'm pleased to say that my replacement CD turned up today... free of charge. Excellent support from Matrix!

Is there some file that I can edit so that I can use padlock whilst remaining in the HUDpit (cockpit)?

<t> I was quick enough to post my worries/ask for help over my recent 'faulty' purchase at this forum. However I don't want to give any potential Matrix customers the wrong impression about ordering software from the company, hence my post today.<br/>
<br/>
Within 24 hours of me contacting Matrix ...

Papi,

The file cannot be read, so how can I copy it to the Hard Drive?

<r> When I placed my order for Starshatter, I had the option of downloading, but I thought to myself, be patient and buy a copy on CD and wait for it to be delivered, so this is the purchase option I went for. <br/>
<br/>
Well it arrived today (as I mentioned in my previous post) and I try to ...

<t> Thanks Shoe,<br/>
<br/>
The CD/DVD drive is brand new, no problems with any other discs. My second CD also cannot read the disc (and again no problems with any other discs). I've even tried it in the drive at work, same results, it can't be read.<br/>
<br/>
I think I've got a faulty disc ...
