Cool....Flew a couple missions already and boy is it coooolllllll. Those suckers are fast. The Asteriod Base Assult was the bomb.

I like that one. I also love the StarbaseConstruction mission. Lots of "little friends" buzzing about.

Less posting - more fixing!

Heh....j/k

should I go for the as is and do the fixes?..or wait for the repaired installer?

I guess the correct question is....when do you think it will be fixed...tonight or tommorrow?

Hoi Herr Bert,

Is the installer linked above up to date now? I would like to try out your server before going to bed, so I can go full on tomorrow.

Take care

Not yet. You can use the manual fixes I mentioned above, or give me another 10 minutes or so to get the new one uploaded. I'll post in this thread when it is ready.

OK! The download link above should now include the corrected installer.

I'll get it in a new post for Crim to sticky.

Jeez the asteroid base assault is a whole lot different when your shields can't take even a single ph4. On the other hand it was cool watching my CenL go charging in with its 2 Cen+ and together unload 15 plas F's

Ooooo.....
This don't sound good for the Lyrans....

Thankfully they don't pop up that often and usually have another mission choice listed when it did, but yeah I can see it being murder on the lyrans at least I could launch my plas at range 10.

Pig:

With this in mind, I made the Lryan Fi-Cons able to be carried by the Lyran PF, and I let the Lyran carry three PFs instead of two.

Thus, you can attack with a leader, three fi-cons, and 12 ZY fighters, each armed with multiple drones.

And you've still got room in your flotilla for your independant support boat. You can take another Bobat, and phaser version, or the "e" bobcat with with ESG.

But yeah, the Lyrans face some limitations when facing long range firepower. That's why I tried to cut them an extra break whenever I could.

Haven't tried the asteroid base assault yet, but with the starter ship and a phaser leader, with the attendant pfs, wow! Death of a thousand paper cuts!
The ficon confused me when the fighters started popping drones, didn't realize that was supposed to happen.
Only problem I've had is jumping between the ships getting them to launch their pfs/fighters.

Good stuff HB!

Back up! Sorry guys, as mentioned in the "problem" thread, my ISP went down for a bit. They seem to have their wires fixed again now.

Thanks for the kind words!

Can't wait to check it out tonight!

Re: dos commands on Win98/Win2K/WinXP - to make batch files run on all I usually end up having to include the dos executables themselves in the distribution as many dos components were dropped from windows after 98... I forget now but I got so frustrated with it I just gave up on making reliable batch files and went here: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ ... I'll never go back, its really pretty easy to use and has the advantage of lzma compression (~60-70% better than maximum zip compression). I highly reccomend it. (totally free too!)

Hoi Herr Bert,
