 I to wish to thank the powers that be who slaved to put it up and keep it running,but I do have an inquiry why do  I not have the two ships that are near and dear to my heart the ID and the OS showing up in the ship yard I can buy a MNV,or a MNR any time I would like I can buy a OV also or any other ship but haven't seen those two show up at all and the other carriers very seldom, is this something that can be tweaked? if so please do
 thank you

Awesome, no serious issues? I was away all week and the db has not been cleaned in two weeks!

I may be able to tweak out carrier production for you deadman.

I have half a mind to leave Flat Out running on Heimdall with a few tweaks on infinite repeat since it is so low maintenance. Then when Thor is all ready to go again I can setup a more interesting server with an OCI and it will be freer for more community server hosting too. Though we need to work some development time and testing in there too.

cool thanks and check the pricing on them also it seems way to high should be more than a regular ship but when a HDWV cost half as much a a REG dread that seems a bit off (HDWVs cost 3509, REGs cost 6905, price diff = 3396 ) bit extrime.

 and I will test away when needed

Back in woot :)
Between GSA suggestion and re-re-examinng some firewall stuff ( how it changed is beyond me) I passed the DFM.
Until what date will the The Forge run before being reset to the Early Glory Days ?

The Bases seem to work well - nice for supply, can be popped with some effort.
Saw some new Fed players, advised them to seek out F9th, SSCF etc. if they liked Big Blue.

I can not log-on to online play for SFC2:OP.

Dynaverse thing, it said that I'm not online or a Firewall is on.

I turn off the Firewall but still giving me trouble...

Are you on a router or using Windows Vista?

If on a router.. set your machine to DMZ or configure the firewall ports of your router to allow the Orion Pirates permissions.

If you are behind a router you will need to forward ports 2300-2400 TCP&UDP and 47624 TCP to login. (allow pings from the WAN) Port forwarding applies to a static LAN config. The following site may be of assistance in this: http://www.portforward.com/

Some ADSL and cable modems have router capabilites in them that the ISP does not tell you about and often poorly understand themselves.

Understand what a private IP address is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_IP_address



If on Vista, find a copy of Windows XP and follow my Dual Boot guide that I have posted in the Engineering section of this forum. Vista is not very compatible with the Dynaverse servers and takes some work to get connection, and even connection once established, the server map will lag your client on a Vista machine for up to 2 min per map update.

I'm not on a router/Vista/cable modems, but I'm on Qwest DSL. I'm on Win:XP.

Go into start menu>run .. type in

services.msc

find Windows Firewall and right click, click properties, change Automatic to Disabled

Find UPnP and do the same thing..

also if you are using a Logitech mouse, go to Start>Run and type in

msconfig

go to Startup tab and uncheck anything with a path pointing to mouse or Logitech

restart machine.

Also when playing online on Gamespy Arcade or Dynaverse, make sure that you turn your Anti-Virus off.. it may be corrupting packets..

Also when installing the game or the patches and directory server fix, that you installed all of this with Anti-Virus disabled.. Anti-Virus programs are known to corrupt the patch/fix installers and sometimes even the game install itself.


Finally when installing the Directory Server Fix, make sure it is pointing to your game install directory.. sometimes the fix does not go to the correct directory.
