Is there a patch?

Was there ever a patch for Stalancer? I bought it froma bargin bin and have been enjoying it, but there is a bug, at least for me, where I can see cloaked ships all the time, even when they are supposed to be cloaked. Makes the game easy, no doubt, but takes the fun out of it a bit

I heard about this problem somewhere here before. You could search through earlier threads to fin it (not sure if the "find" function works here - haven't tried it for some time). IIRC, it has to do sth with video card, but I can't tell for sure.

You're using Software mode right?

Umm, no, I don't think so. Software mode.. I'll try that. Thanks

So there are no patches for the game then? I just wanted to be sure about that as well.

As far as I know, there was never a patch for Starlancer. I think it sold poorly and no further effort was put in it.

I think most people can see "Cloaked" ships, well I can anyway

I assummed it was just supposed to make you disappear from sensors and slightly harder to see but not completely.
Always thought it was funny when you trash a basilisk and it smokes, then they try cloaking........ummmmm gee let me think.........still see you

Yes, but the lead indicator goes away, which makes it harder to aim at...plus the fact that it can slip away if it gets behind you.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

Officer: "Freelancer, what happened to the transport you were escorting?"
Me: "He told me my ship looked wierd...I invited him to have intimate relations with my SunSlayer"

Nope.. no patches or anything. Not even an addon of any type, which is quite upsetting, as the game has such promise.

Seems DA totally gave up on Starlancer in favor of Freelancer. A shame really. Freelancer is good, don't get me wrong, but the old flightstick games just have a place in my heart ( and alongside X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Wing Commander, Freespace.. the list goes on )

Maybe someday they will issue out something, but dont hold your breath

Infinity is only moments away...

don't forget Tachyon!!!

I'm gettign into independance qwar at the minute... and there seems to be support for it..

i'd have liked to have seen starlancer go the way of wing commander... and have a full online community of people making stuff for it... compleatly rewriting the story and the like.. (I'm still desperate to see an online game where you have a small team say 4 people controlling a corvette or bomber... you could have gunners pilots, and bomb teams... just a thought... also you could have a defending side, either massive cruisers or space stations... everone could have a gun turret.. missile launcher or repair ship... )
