I've been up all night.
Question though: I seem to be able to tractor in Tarsus ships with my Galaxy. This makes missions against pirates or retros WAY too easy. Is this supposed to happen? Also, I was messing around with the definition files and discovered that if you are flying a Paradigm, you can gobble up jump points with a t-beam. Finally, if I make the basic Talon buyable, two things happen: 1 I can release the Talons I gobble up, and when I do they are on my side; 2 If I try to fly a Talon, I get the same rep as a pirate while I am in it.
Would be kinda cool to have, say, a drayman with a big tractor beam and a gaping maw and eat up light fighters like this, though MamiyaOtaru Spaceman. Which version are you using? You shouldn't be able to trctor in ships with a galaxy. If you were able to carry smaller ships, be it due to a bug, or a hypothetical future situation where you could buy a drayman , ejecting them causes them to act as wingmen, yes. That is an intended behaviour in Vegastrike, but one which will not normally be seen in Privateer.
Flying a Talon with pirate markings adjusting your rep: intended. Also won't happen normally. Sucking up jump points: not intended, but won't be an issue in normal gameplay. Basically, if you edit game files weird things will happen. Fixed it! I know this isn't canon etc. A fun thing to do is getting good turrets on your galaxy, buy a good escort talon, launch it, fly it and use the galaxy as a gun platform, then switch ships and tractor the fighter in and relaunch it for repairs.
Kinda like WC2 meets Starscape. Hope it helps I wish I knew of priv remake sooner or I'd have helped, I'm a fairly decent game modder I'm the kitty who figured out how to edit wing commander armada ship loadouts, soooooooo long ago. Before I forget: I also added a savegame to show what's going on. What I wanted to do is give the Galaxy a bit more flexibility really Another fun thing to do if you're a munchkin is drive a Paradigm, buy an absolute assload of escort talons, and go into Kilrathi space.
