yup - the one and the same - havent been around in a wee while, but couldnt resist responding to mit's news....

WOW - gratz Mit belated I know - but better late than never...

(if there was ever a good excuse for bumping an old thread, its this....)

yep - fooli's right
click start, then run, & type ipconfig/all

should work for anything abouve w98

not sure if this needs to be in bug report or not

v.5.05 claims to solve the probs of not seeing others in space - it doesnt appear to (at least not those of us who are on the same external static IP address) - neither does the bit of additional code you suggested mit - any other suggestions?

not all the players show up as being in the system - even tho they are there, bit frustrating when they're the designated targets for the night also - crashlanded on Megacityone to repair hull damage. when I reelaunched and tried to infimp back to the fight, I kept being told that I could only use i...

but for some reason it won't let you download it to a third machine on the same IP (nifty bit of anti-cheating security mibbe?) - I tried installing it to my laptop (its on both chezzie's and my desktops) - and it wouldn't let me.

yep - my bad - completely misread you

cheers

missiles definately dont work in protected space - and notice comes up in the chat channel (small print!) - didn't it used to flash across the screen, or am i having a senior moment?

I'm still not sure I agree with any of this, but as Mit explains in the thread linked above, it's part design, part testing the water... while it's unfortunate when players like nostra are at the sticky end of someone's big laser-toting cruiser, it's a) kind of necessary to test this stuff in what ...

seems to still repair over time - my 8% hull damage has cleared

and no - i dont want it back....

ok - he's hardly played in 6 months because of various issues - so how is he supposed to know you've only been playing a couple of days? when he was playing, most of the space combat stuff wasn't figured out, so he's as new at that as you. how's he supposed to know you're new to space combat, rather...

As discussed elsewhere ... removing safe space was a little "feature" mit introduced a few weeks ago without telling anyone. At the moment, I think (no-one's online so I can't test it) that missiles are banned in federation space, but lasers aren't; and as you need to buy shields to prote...

no doubt the highly experianced Chezzie gained a great deal of satisfaction from shooting down an inexperianced and under protected merchant that was unable to escape or put up any kind of meaningfull fight ! bravo you should be a proud man Chezzie ! actually, he's not at all impressed at all with ...

Ship repairs - I'd like an answer to that too. In last night's combat testing fest, I managed to escape from some evil alien freighter with about 25% hull integrity remaining (well, he ignored me and chased someone else :). No way to repair at the station... f that might have been (at least in part...

ok - I've been away for a while and there have been various (extremely funky looking) changes to the game, so I'm just looking for a little clarification and yes, I've done forum searches but can't find relevant info :) ship repairs - how do they happen now? previously leaving the system or docking ...

30% is a bit steep - thats over 1/2 mill creds if I kill someone! and if thats incremental, and takes all but 10% of my cash if I kill 3 people then I'm just not gonna get into the space combat side of stuff. and I'm probably not the only one [edit:just noticed you said 20% not 30% - didn't have my ...

been tellin ya for ages this was broken!

still dippin in from time to time and, have to say guys, I'm well impressed with the new game features. is looking mighty fine

hope you's both well...

hmmmn.... i'm guessing the prob chezz and i have been experiencing has something to do with us having the same IP address, esp if there have been security tweaks...

NO!

there seems to be more of a prob with the gal wealth than it merely not updating often enough - for some reason it now only shows either me or chezz, (me on my machine, chezz on his machine), but never both of us at the same time, despite both of us being in the top 5. never used to do that, and its...

ok - you responded to a 2-month old post in a 6-month old thread to beg? and thats the best you can do?



I dont want to spoil the surprises for those who are setting out on the quests - It is sufficient to say that its worth it!
