There seems to be a problem w/ my computer and/or SFCOP patch. Under version 2.5.3.8 while playing as any race under ADVANCED era, I can't purchase X designated ships (i.e. F-XFF) right now. I'm only LT. Commander ranking, so I'm not sure if this is normal. Is this problem a bug, a problem w/ my computer, or something normal? Do I have to be at least Captain rank to get X designated ships to appear?

It's a known bug and has been passed on to Taldren..
.. however the fix is easy.

Open up explorer.. and find your installed copy of SFC:OP.
Go inside of it under MetaAssets\ServerProfiles\SinglePlayer\ .. and edit Time.gf with notepad

You'll see:

Quote:

[Clock/StartingDate]
BaseYear   = 2263
0         = 0
1         = 10
2         = 20

Add:

Quote:

3 = 30

Then restart your campaign. From scratch, sorry.

Thanks. I'm not a very good programmer, but I'll give it a shot.

I had to delete my saves anyway, or at least move them to a secure compressed folder, I just installed 2538 yesterday, so I'm not very far anyway. All I have is a Fed destroyer.

correct, try "3 = 37" to start at 2300 with the basic stock shiplist.

3=30 would have worked with my own shiplist, you see.

Your old saved games won't work with the new patch so you have to start over anyway.
