Um, what? You should need to use any CDs or DVDs… Just mount the image.

Base infocards include “navigation notes” and there appears to be a gun modifier for every faction, though their effects lie dormant.

There is an Ew04_02_base referenced by Planet Pygar with files in the EW04 folder and even in Universe.ini, but there’s no docking ring.

Does selecting NPCs flying Startrackers give anyone else CTD?

Would that perhaps be something to do with this old restored intro movie from the bonus DVD? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rcg06jURsFM

I know that Sinclair found the artifact (shown in the film) on Pygar (“I found it on Planet Pygar and knew immediately that it was of great archaeological significance.”).

Gibbon restored planet pygar in his phoenix mod, there’s also a working pygar mod on moddb I think but the landing sequence is not as well done as gibbons version.

Took a trip around the Edge Worlds.

I think youre talking about Sprague, Cassicuda did a hacked landing script for Gibbons mod. Gibbon just incorporated the Pygar mod thats out there in his mod.

As for Startrackers, the Xenos are flying Starblazers (Startrackers as we know them)
interestingly in the resources dll’s the order in the list goes
Starflier
Starblazer
Startracker

So, maybe we got their names wrong for the last ten years

there is also a reference to a “Space Creature” as well as some interesting capital ships, i.e. Bretonian Comet class Battleship as well as the normal br battleship. Loads of interesting stuff.

Rh06 seems to have been called Bremen

Wow, this looks exciting!

Is the Phoenix mod still running on a server somewhere?
Is Gibbon still around?

I don’t care for the technicalities of who did what, but the version in gibbons phoenix mod has an accurate landing sequence etc, the version on moddb needs more work unfortunately.

Crete looks freaky!

Mods not running on a server anymore but you can still download it from the strategy informer site. As for Gibbon, he hasn’t updated his moddb page in a while but I expect he’s still up to mischief, think he frequents SWAT sites rather than here now.

At any base push + - buttons

Also other numpad keys such as arrows.
