some mods down at the Script And Modding section offer PBE/Flak adjustments so they actually are as effective as they sound. Oh and its a nasty trick to equip your wingmen with these things. Once you do, they'll NEVER miss, and so kill lots faster than with normal weapon loadouts. Pity not many ship...

it can be a possible 3 things that induce pilots to bail: 1. His ship turning into slag metal with him in it. Sometimes, weak but rapid-firing shots rattle his ship hard, making him panic and bail more often. I've seen IRE's cap more this way, on occasion 2. Bigger ship hitting him. He'd panic if he...

check this and this and this to help with your capship woes.

Oh, and this may be useful for fighter-heavy M1's

dont get me started on how many Orcas the Borons lose in Kingdon End thanks to those stupid mini-roids... I've actually had to use LV's Cheat Scripts to keep replacing the dammed losses EVERY TIME I'm in-sector. Egosoft, get rid of those "sector enhancements" next patch for good. Not even community-...

Install, get 1.3 patch, install patch, play. Consider the game as around 70-80% complete and you're good

unscripted, with 1.3 (start from scratch), took me 2 weeks to get a fully kitted M2 out and fielded (got the weapons, items, etc first, then bought it)

Was a huge feeling of satisfaction when I did and yes, its the money/weaponhunt that's the problem, not the rank.

PBE's rock on a 'Cuda

Script and Modding section, M6 Upgrad Mod

I pity the threadstarter right about now

1.3 with the less-asteroids mod (starting a new game, trust me, 1.2 will spoil you with it's easy difficulty WAY too much) is perfect :) never had problems since (cept for when my cat jumps and starts rubbing against my joystick and so causes my ship to barrelroll straight into the closest asteroid....

Try Disco with AIRE's and 1 MJ shield only

not counting the stretch of the convoy span two sectors since it was SO long...

the "sector enhancements" (read: lots and lots and LOTS of mini-roids) tick me off completely (making me use the less-roids mod in the Script and Modding section to actually), but everything else was a definite improvement. Now I can actually play the game fine with some form of reflection on my shi...

You still have to admit, its the publishers and not the developers that have a large say in what the game should be (since they are selling of course, they wanna see something close to what was a best-seller too). While I admire Egosoft and their attempt to bring something new (which they suceeded o...

the mouse is naturally still connected to controlling your ship until you press the right mouse button (which turns it into a natural GUI based mouse on your HUD) When you start the game, you'll see a splash screen with settings you can adjust, check your joystick in the set input section and off yo...

Khaak capships = pure death

Khaak clusters = easy pie

someone see a pattern? seems like someone's compensating

I'm just happy shaders set to medium for me = reflections

Sweet pics btw, have some of battle scenes for the more action-centered crowd

The thick nebulae look most likely will come soon the lighning thing, I doubt it, since it'll be an effect that may be considered weaponbased in origin to the AI :/

upp the price just a tad on your rimes :) it seems you're using the split-even value the factory gives you considering the price of how much you're willing to buy the resources.

I can imagine heavy-nebulae sectors will be adjusted for the heavy-nebulae look of no stars but all thick and mucky nebula
