It's a quesiton of convincing it to use Admiral level difficulty... and KEEPING it.

This is true, it seems to have the nasty habit of switching back to Captain's level after you leave the campaign. If you use EZ.ini to switch to Admiral again after you leave the camapign it seems to stick for good.

Can someone post an example of what the shortcut to bypass the intro and keep the fighters is supposed to look like? I'm not really clear on what I need to do. Thanks.

One other thing for the Bug Patrol FS - Will someone please take the "Read Only" status off the Bindings file so that the keyboard remapping will work? I have to go in and turn that off every time I patch and it is annoying.

Usually, I just drag and drop a "shortcut" of StarFleetOP.exe from its home directory to my desktop. That does the trick.
As for Bindings.ini, DavidF tried in the current patches.. and got frustrated. It was mentioned to him towards the end of the patching process, so he figured he'd try for next time. I'll add it to the list.

Go to the properties of the icon you use to start OP (right click), and change the target to
C:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\StarFleetOP.exe

and use

C:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\

in the Start In entry.

This will skip the intro and avoid the crashes that some people have with the campaign mode, and give you fighters too.

EAW seems to put have the correct Start directory to begin with wheras in OP its empty.

OK, I am going to ask a stupid question here.

What is the intro for Orion Pirates?

I played it a while back and am going to reinstall it this weekend since the patch is out but I don't remember there being an intro movie or anything.

Thanks,

Ken

There is a Paramount and Interplay intro movie.

There will be no progress reports for a while, sorry. DavidF is working on QAing Black9 at the moment, I believe.

Does somebody know about the dissappearing mines, when one makes a suicide shuttle but doesn't use it. You get the shuttle back but not the bomb. I suppose this could be a mission script issue and not part of the patch, but I don't know.

It's not a problem in EAW, but looks like it slipped through the OP upgrade list. Not a major issue but a significant minor one.

Every now and then this needs a bump so it's not forgotten. Maybe someone will stop to scratch.

I just patched OP with the 2500-2538 patch and now whenever I try to go into single player campaigns, the game crashes. I'm running StarFleetOP.exe. This occurs whether I run the program directly from the installed folder or with a "corrected" shortcut. The game worked previously, and re-running the patch program informs me that my game is up-to-date. I'm on Windows 2000 Professional SP1.

Thanks.

Did you remember to delete your saved games? They will no longer work.
