Figures, just after praising WinRar, I found out that it will not chop up this mod so that I can have floppy-sized files. Actually, this is the second time this morning this has happened to me. I never had any troubles with winrar before. Has anyone else had this problem?

See answer in Official Image Collection thread.

That's ancient technology isn't it? Don't you have something better than floppies? Burning CDs or ZIP disks or memory sticks?

Well, it is ancient technology. I work for the state of Florida, and probably only Jeb Bush and other head honchos get the good stuff. I just have to deal with what I have to work on.

You should get a USB flash drive. You can get a 64 MB one for 20-30 dollars. Just plug it into any computer with a USB port, and away you go!

Might have to install some drivers if it's an old OS. Maybe he's not allowed to do that on his work computer.

Why can you build the death star prototype in this mod? Wasn't it only used to test the idea of the super laser?

Fyron · #**558** November 15th, 2003, 09:48 AM

Because this is a mod, not a scenario. It is designed for general play within the Star Wars universe, and not every universe has to act identically to the movies.

Well the DS prototype was nothing more than a hollow skeleton. I could understand it's purpose being there if it was a prerequisite to building the real thing, but I don't see any reason to have it in as its own combat ship.

That is so true. I wish I could do stuff like that, but I got to follow state policy. Heck, my boss frowns on me doing anything unofficial on the computer as it is, but allows me to do so.
