P&N for v1.78?

Pax · #1 October 27th, 2002, 07:01 AM

I've just discovered, much to my dismay, that P&N is not compatible with SE4/Gold v1.78 (errors all over the place).

P&N is one of my Favorites; there isn't a more recent Version than 2.5b available from PBW.

Does anyone know if thre's been an update? If so, where can I get a copy of it ... ?

[EDIT]
Never mind, got the needed info direct from the source.

Just follow my sig, and choose a Version 3 (gold), rather than a Version 2(classic).

Version 3 rocks - can't wait for the PBW edition so we can have P&N on PBW, take 3 - and I can be competing with SJ for people's business in the black market!!!

Hey i'm definitly in on the "black market" as it were. SJs going to have some serious competition now! That was a great idea of his.

Ummmm....
Well, I might be willing to host it, even if I don't play (which would be a bummer....)

So are you close to finishing the PBW Version, or is it still in it's infancy?

I'm not quite sure how far along the PBW Version is...

I do know that I have yet to:
- go through and rebuild the weapons. This will have to wait for the next public patch, though

- Add some racial traits (Gun Nuts!

)
- Copy in the legacy facilities from v2.6
- Rebuild the mine warfare system. (little to no sweeping, much fewer mines, and maybe lower mines-per-sector)
- anything else in my to-do list.

So, considering that the first item isn't worth doing until the next patch, and the only other major item is the mines thing, plus the fact that you guys really want it... I'll try and put it together this week.

Hey, you know, a merchant race with the gun nuts trait could make a LOT of money selling frigates enhanced with the Large Weapons Mount... nobody can even analyze it for tech because it's a racial trait! heh heh heh... I know what empire I'm playing next time - Crazy Edgar's Olde KABOOM!!! Shoppe

("One stick of dynamite in the left pocket, one stick of dynamite in the right pocket, and KABOOM! No more pesky ex-husband!")

(Anyone actually recognize this reference? SJ, you ARE from Ontario... hint hint!)

Pirate's & Nomad's Version 3.0 for Se4 1.78 is already available as a game Version on PBW. Has been for a while now. Or are you all talking about some other P&N Version specifically designed for PBW?

Ok, now I'm starting to worry.
My hard drive was giving me trouble... crashing or almost-crashing every now and then on startup.
I got a new drive, but the drive image I had didn't stick.
Now tonight I discover that the new drive is running a temperature of over 40 degrees C. On the outside. The whole drive rack was unpleasantly warm.

I do not like this at all. I was expecting to have migrated all my stuff to the new drive already.

Hmmm guess this is a good thread to post a question about P&N

I noticed the AI's are bulding fighters with Small Rocket Pods using a Micro Mount. Which would appear to give them a weapone with 0 damage.

Any way to avoid this? Will using your AI Patcher avoid this?
