 question, are all the files for GW4 going into a installer or do we have to DL them all separately?

Bonk is making an installer, but I will also post the individual files for those that prefer the manual method.

Tholian pinwheel... hmmmm... you know a custom mission can be written that would get three tholian ships to actually join together or disengage into seperate ships. Its easily done, just 'silently' remove the precedant ships(s) then place the antecedant ship(s) in exactly the same place applying damage recorded for the former. The deep scan toggle could be used while targetting a tholian ship to give the command.

I have a freshly imaged PC, just installed OP, installing OP+ now.   I'll know in 5 minutes if the installer is a go.

It won't be an issue when we go live, thanks to the letter "R" . . .

Ran several missions today, getting federation AI wingmen 2 out of 3 missions.....needless to say this is a problem, since i am Klingon.

The mission is one of the NW patrol missions.
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then it dawned on me; they are cramming for their finals.

Just noticed neutral space is " friendly" to Roms.. is it supposed to be?
Also noticed Rom GSF fighters aren't as good at taking out enemy ships as I'd hoped they'd be.. now I have to actually READ the shiplist.

Stupid SFB'ers, confuse me why don't you...

The Tenions are right, Not sure what else I can do about that.

I REALLY hope you you can get it fixed. When you have the same AI wing as enemies, the DV won't change after you complete the mission. This was the source of tremendous frustration on previous servers.
Even deliberatly getting the AI killed first was sometimes unsuccessful.

CTD when an AI R-KRV launched it's fighters on a NWpat14 mission.

Loaded the latest GW stuff about 2 hours ago, but will check for newer files.

Ran coops on three Holding Actions.  In the first 2, we had "host left" (no biggie, as we know very common, usually a user problem not a server one).

However after first mission we both backed out of the server and then back in.  After the second host left, we both rebooted and then came back in. 

On the third, rather unusual, neither of us saw a host left message, and neither of us saw a Mission Complete (or incomplete fyi) ... the game simply closed (as normal).  No PP awarded on any of them (for me at least).

Like I said ... very good chance this is a user issue and not a server one ... but wanted to cover the bases.

Second though, there is nothing wrong with this ship that would cause the gae to crash.   I just tested this ship with a stock loadoiut and it beahved fine.

Gues we don't need that patch after all  ;D

EDIT:   Just drafted that same ship, it functioned fine as an AI enemy.   No patch is needed because of this issue.
