Cool! I love it when sci-fi tech comes to life! You got a URL for that?

Not handy. I've noticed two different shield techs listed in the popular media recently. One is designed to zap and defeat incoming shaped-charge armor-piercing cannon rounds. The other is the plasma shield which someone posted a link to on this forum recently.

Help, I need somebody...

Umm. Just downloaded Prop 2.4.2. Several, well all really, of the non-stock races included don't have pics or AI files, which of course causes errors when adding a new race.

Am I missing something. I did d/l the complete Version.

Extra races are in separate file. Go back to PvK' site, they are there. He put them into separate file so people won't have to download big files every time there is a new Version.

Yes, this is a link:

Whoa. Major, major bug I just found.

Fighter Shield Generators (when you have lg fighters and level III shields) upgrade to *AFV* shield generators. This is very nasty, because the AFV shields are the same size but make 1600 shield points! Also, for some reason upgrading fighters adds an extra life support component.

Speaking of upgrades, I find it very irritating that ECM II (for example) upgrades to ECM Ia. This is something you never want to do to your ships.

What you do want is, after getting new tech, to click on "upgrade" and get your ship equipped with the up-to-day stuff. Going through and changing ECMs back to full-power Versions all the time is no fun.

Of course this pales in comparison to upgrade bugs that affect gameplay...
