a very clever post.

Now, let's get down to more important things: this Vesuvius is ripped from WCP and is therefore only of mediocre quality. But we could use it... as a placeholder until my team comes up with something better looking.

PANI has just sent me three Kilrathi ships mentioned above. I might be able to finish them tomorrow, but again, that is not sure.

On the other hand: warzog has more than enough of work to do

Add me down for emotional support!

Actually for the past 6 months I've been the only one (other than news makers) to bring these updates about Privateer mods to TLR, not a lot of interest until now so I can definitely say its been as much fun to watch this progress as it was watching and contributing to the creation of the cloak. Let's just hope this turns out better.
-------------------------------------------




Yeah, I have to say, you're the only one who seems to consistantly care about the whole thing

Hey Tolwyn, I'll be more than glad to do some ship converting for you ...

As Tolwyn said - i sent him "Vaktoth" "Paktahn" and "Dralthi IV".... he will fix it, if it's necessary, when he can spend some time....

Tomorrow i will try to get "Bloodfang" "Sorthak" and "Khahaf" (anyone has good textures for this ship?)

@warzog - i think it's possible to rebuild the gemini sector - it will take a lot of time, but its not impossible, i think I hope my DOC was helpful....

so, i hope to get these ships work...

regards
PANI

standby on Khalaf. Use following ships: Darket, Sorthak. The rest will come from my own archives I really have to update WC3D

@Bob: excellent Send me a mail and I'll send you a few models, ready for conversion For example an excellent Caernaven or ... lemme see... Sheffield.

Regards Tolwyn

EDI: and could somebody write an update for the website?

Warzog its good 2 hear that u r planning 2 take today off to watch the SB .....but u wont u will b back moddin by noon
My son and I r playin your mod here r a few things I have noticed ans or woul like 2 see
sabers armor 2 low needs 2 b raised a ship like that should b more powerfull
dont like the missiles mutch would like u 2 add the gundam missile mod or some thing like it .It uses the ships power to create the missiles just like all the other weapons would like 2 see it in lvs 1/4/8 only also they should b mountable in the torp/mine/CD/CM hard points only .
add the jedi ship series by porsche very nice ships
need 2 fix the stuck weapon mounts(somebody allready posted this)
fix the way the ships bounce arround very anoying
there is a bug during the battle with the rindlanders at station willard if you take out the bombers 2 fast the game stops and nothing happens
this bug seemes 2 happen at several storyline missions if you destroy the enemey2 fast the game stops and u need 2 restart at the last savegame
all ships should be upgradable 2 lv 10
need upgradeable engins/armor/shields/power see reballance$tng 1.7 mods adds a lot 2 the game
would like 2 see a char sheet at the beginning or the game like in rpgs (baldurs gate neverwinter nights) to pick clothing/name & personal look.This would add a lot to char attachment .If u can make your char look the way u want and customeise your ship the way you like that would add to the over all enjoyment of the game.
I have seen several char editors on this sight maby 1 will work
would like 2 see a few more bases & populated planets u could add more ships that way ( there is a lot of empty space in FL)
alaska needs to be opened and populated as the order base with order ships/weapons/equipment/ unsuall stuff to by
need to be able to sell egected pilots & ransom back captured char
more missions add the ones from WC & pv raise the pay out 4 the ones allready in FL
the outcasts & corsairs need 2 have there own battleship groups that u can battle that drop loot
rogues/hackers/mollies/zoners should have gunships & fregiators that drop loot
make the ships affordable this will keep the hacking & cheating down
I know I am asking 4 a lot if i could mod I would do these things my self I have a friend that makes web pages and he says he is going 2 teach me 2 read script and write code being that I am 46 have 2 kids a mortgage and a time consuming business not 2 mention that I am a complete moron wear computers r concerned I am not real sure how It will go,But I am going 2 try

PS hope youe Doc dosnt read these posts if she dose ur going 2 b in deep $#%^&&
enjoy the SB and have a great day







have a great day

ok - "Khahaf" standby.... need the model for the darket....

@Tolwyn - just send me models....

Tolwyn I will b sure 2 tell my 6 yr old daughter what u think of her post I can only hope u show the same compassion 2 ur own children if u have any

have a great day

Hello,
I downloaded and played your mod yesterday and last night. I enjoyed it tremendously. I played all the WC games and Privateer, Reckoning, and P2. I always liked Privateer better. Playing your mod felt like goin' home. It was great! I loved to ram retros with my Centurion, and I often outran superior forces on "patrol" missions. I loved to send a few rounds at 'em in turrent view while running. It is great to be able to "light the burners" and let 'er run! Love the rumble. Very cool to experience that again. I used to take several missions at a time and do them on one run to maximize profit. Probably sounding a little gushy, once more, THANK YOU.

John

@DRK: sue me now

@warzog: please add Lynx and Starman to the mod crew. Thanks in advance

Tolwyn, check your e-mail.

Ok here once again is Da Barkeepa who's computer is 180 deeges from the Tv.
I noticed the post above and eh most of the mod is good and i only have EXP with WC1/2 (3/4/etc never got around to my backland slum's of redneck county) and Priv1/Rightious Fire (same thing happened with priv 2)
only thing i see wrong with his post is the killing too fast might be his pc i'm running a customed Gateway (aka Top of the Line Piece of SH!T) and i blew up all 3 bombers before they even got to the cruisers...my only promblem with that mission was the fighters...took out the battleship so regular FL ships are at a big Dis-advantage versus the Priv ships (Priv really does kill FL)
Oh in other news i made my first Ship today.....shaped like a football stadium..... Doesn't fly too well because i forgot engine ports (opps) but the rouges gotta admit...nothing gets by me..or though for that matter (it seems to be classfide under planetoid =) )


When the Going's get Tough, The Tough get a bigger Battleboat.
"Shotglass moments before the Tiger's claw blew up"

Yeah, I lost one of the cruisers when I played that mission, but that's probably more because I suck than any balancing deficiencies <G>

Greyviper:
I've got the original Privateer paper Manual, and the other one would've saved me some time about a month ago!
As to the rest, once we get the ships, weapons, commodities, etc, in the mod, and working, then we'll concentrate on those kinds of details.

Sir Spectre:
With the current bevy of plasteel beauties, and Bob's insight on his old mod, I've had to basically rewrite the entire mod.
ALL of the ship's stats had to be redone.
Finally fixed the camera problems... Now the ships you pilot will be scale to each other, from your point of view.
Turns out that the weapons are all wrong, spent most of the pre-Superbowl time making new ones.
I've still got loadouts, ship, weapon, and equipment sales to redo, along with lootprops, and a few other things.
And then I can finish adding the generator mods, engine upgrades, sensor upgrades, and after that's all done...
I need to redo all of the shields!

Tolwyn:
Added those names to the list!
And...
What do you mean, "I have Centurion, btw, but it is not on my high priority list."
We're doing a mod called, "PRIVATEER!"
We haven't got a SINGLE ship from Privateer in it!
The Centurion is THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT SHIP IN PRIVATEER.
It should've been your number 1 priority!
And where am I supposed to cram the gazillion ships you're making?
And which ones are to be available for player use, random encounters only, or mission capable, or whatever?
I've got to hunt down stats for these things, do the conversions, tests, etc.
Near as I can figure, your goal is to cram every Wing Commander game into this mod!
(EXCEPT for Privateer!)

DRKmatter:
Gundam missles, and Jedi ships don't go well with Wing Commander's Privateer.
See the note to Sir Spectre on coming attractions.
As to the bugs, most are known, fixed, or in the works.

89jimmy:
Glad you liked it, but you aint seen nutin yet!

Bob:
Nope, that mission is partly due to the balance. Which is why I'm redoing everything.

(sorry for the above rant)

Watch your 6!

In Privateer the ships are:
Civilian---------Pirates---------Kilrathi--------Confed------------Seltek
Centurion------Centurion-------Dralthi---------Broadsword------Scout
Galaxy----------Galaxy----------Gothri----------Gladius----------Drone
Orion-----------Orion-----------------------------Stiletto
Talon-----------Talon-----------------------------Talon
Tarsus----------Salthi------------Salthi
Demon

Cap ships:
Drayman-------------------------Kamekh-----------Paradigm

To date, I've only received the Broadsword. And I can't recall actually ever seeing it in Privateer.
