P&N for v1.78?

Ok, now I'm starting to worry.
My hard drive was giving me trouble... crashing or almost-crashing every now and then on startup.
I got a new drive, but the drive image I had didn't stick.
Now tonight I discover that the new drive is running a temperature of over 40 degrees C. On the outside. The whole drive rack was unpleasantly warm.

I do not like this at all. I was expecting to have migrated all my stuff to the new drive already.

Hmmm guess this is a good thread to post a question about P&N

I noticed the AI's are bulding fighters with Small Rocket Pods using a Micro Mount. Which would appear to give them a weapone with 0 damage.

Any way to avoid this? Will using your AI Patcher avoid this?

That would be a bug. The rocket pods are already fighter-sized, and micromounting them ruins 'em.

I guess I'll have to type up a huge restriction list for the fighter mounts

Update on my situation:
I have got a new, new harddrive, and after staying up all night, I've managed to pull off the most important stuff from my old disk.
Had to replace my CPU fan, since it just gave up the ghost, too.

Scandisk is slowly cleaning up the copies I've made... been running for a few hours now...
Some files were crosslinked five ways, it seems.

If all goes well

I should be able to restore my c-drive image, and be back in business tomorrow.

SJ, you should include the No AI Mod with future releases of the PBW Versions of P&N. You don't want the AI attempting to play those Versions, so why not kill it at the source?

"That would be a bug. The rocket pods are already fighter-sized, and micromounting them ruins 'em."

Or just up the rocket pod sizd and damage..simpler.

All good ideas, you two.

Was it Geo who made the No-AI mod?

PS:
My C: drive has apparently been restored sucessfully, since I am posting this from my machine.
Unfortunately, I didn't quite plan ahead properly, and in restoring my C: drive, I lost access to my D: drive (with almost everything except windows).
So, I can't get at my low-level drive management tools to make my D: drive visible.
I'll have to borrow a rescue disk on Monday.
