What was the minor patch? I dont know of any minor patches after 1.4 than 1.5, which was never released. Last beta? Does this mean you have done beta 7 already and I dont have to test it? That would be so great! I have tested it since mid-March and I am getting tired of it.

P.S. If that didnt mean that I dont have to test it anymore and you still would like to get more bugs, resend b6.2 and The long-awaited response mail. Those E-Mails were left at my dads computer.

Cheers.

Lightning Jump really shouldn't affect anything. All it does is replace the hyperspace sound with a much shorter one (nothing). i.e. It doesn't do anything with missions, outfits, weapons,... Any problems would be the result of something else.

Im wondering the same as Gerry. Why didnt you answer me? Was I offensive? I didnt mean to offend with saying I am tired of testing. I just figured that I had been testing for four and half months, and felt a little tired. I have said this in earlier mails too. All I wanted to know was that did last beta yourself mean that you had already gotten to last beta and you dont need me to test anymore. If you havent finished making the last beta yet, then I could continue testing. I just need you to resend the b6.2 file, because it is sitting in my dads mailbox. And preferably the mail with the subject long-awaited response, if you want me continue answering the long E-Mail series. I found 6 bugs on Mac already, but I forgot the paper that had the notes to my dad. So I need it to my PC too. So if my part has finished, thats OK. Just answer me.

I have the beta 6.29 files. I must apologize for all of this delays, but look at hhow much interest there is. Suffice it to say that I will be working on the beta next week when school is over. Also, I have been working on the minor missions for Nova walkthrough with plot and technical bits typed out. If that is finished, then I will work on the beta. And I am still waiting for that 2nd beta of the top secret project.

General, just do what you can and see if you can get all of the missions to complete them. Expect the files in a few hours. Which email are you on right now?

------------------

I'll be glad to see f-25 2.0... i've tried 1.4 a couple of times, and it would never give me the nebula explorartion missions on Blaga, or anywhere else. (Also: the readme says that for the plug to work, you "can't be in Voinian space"... does that mean you can't go there at all, even foe UE missions?)

------------------

Correct!

No. I cant. The Neeg mission has too many Carriers for me to survive. That means too many Kytaan fighters, which will blow my poor Crescent Warship to pieces. Bomb already substantially bumped down the amount of Carriers, but I still get attacked by 7 fighters and die. Even with 2 Duel-Blast Turrets and Deuterium Armor. I guess a medium ship in the EVO galaxy is just too weak for the F-25 galaxy. He still hasnt found a solution to this, so I think I need to cheat by raising the shields of my ships to 2500. After the mission, I will lower it back. Unless there is more hard fights... I remember Acquire Centauran Cloaking Device being one. My E-Mail is for home: tom.runeberg@kolumbus.fi. But for every two weekends, I use my dads adress: mercury@welho.com

Edit- now is every two weekends. Send file here: mercury@welho.com

I answer you- through emails. Send me the bugs- otherwise, your part in the beta is finished. I need to get it wrapped up very soon, and if you can only work on it every two weeks it'll be too late.

Bomb! You answered me. Oh I see. I thought you would answer me on the board too in important cases. Yeah... ill send 10-15 prolly. Its finished? After testing mid-March to beginning of August... :eek: See, I can do it every day on my emulator. The problem was that b6.2 was sent to dads E-Mail, and I forgot to save it on a diskette to bring it on my home PC. So I wanted you to re-send it to my home mail, tom.runeberg@kolumbus.fi. But you didnt and I didnt want to use a old build, b6.1. So I didnt do any testing. About Neeg, ill just increase shields to 2500 again and blow the fighters to heck. So ill send some final bugs (I guess otherwise being over means that?), if you can resend me 6b.2. Or I can just copy it to diskette this time.

I'm still a little confused on the f-25 requirements... You're not supposed to be in Voinian space at all... BUT the UE central objective is needed? Does that mean you can't go to Pax Station to pick up defector, or go to Outposts Alpha, Gamma, or Theta? Then -- how do you fulfill the UE central objective?? (And it's taking forever to get the nebula exploration missions...) Thanks.

------------------

Um, it is necessary for now, but when it is released, you can go straight into F-25 with a new pilot.

General, just get the Forklift! It is an in-game cheat! I use it all the time. Work sometime.

If you are playing the first F-25 (1.4), then yes, its needed. It was a little strange question- Pax Station in Dogovor is Independent and Outposts, Alpha, Theta in DSN-1810, Bakka, and Yandros are UE Frontier. If you had checked the map you would have seen this. But really, you would save yourself the effort by ugrading to F-25 2.0 and using the included Pilot builder. It gives you access to the UE Cruiser and gives you ten million credits. It is the only way to make sure F-25 systems dont appear before youve gotten so far in the string youre supposed to go there. Even if you completed the Central Objective, even then F-25 systems can randomly appear. Unless you use the included pilot F-25 pilot. Depending on your viewpoint, that its already on the mission of finding the Bomarii homeworld either means that you get only the exciting part, or miss all the plot before it.

Edit: kauthor, I already tried. Forklifts wont home on them, so I get heavily damaged from primary fire while desperately trying to fire on them. I need to almost ram them, like is the case with Zidagar. Bomb wouldnt comment except joking that the Kytaan have very good inherit jamming. I already sued this earlier- when the Defend F-25 blockade was still 16 ships.

You cant land at those because you have bad legal status. You have started the Querin string, or blown up Kytaan ships in their space. Offer a bribe to Kytarr Minor and buy a K. Legal Booster. Its extremely expensive at 2.5 million though, so be sure that you have much credits.

i am on the Querin string ( attack Kylirr Majori then land at Modbrek)

Offer a bribe to both Kytarr Major and Modbrek, then you can land. Or as I said, offer a bribe to Kytarr Minor, and buy a K. Legal Booster, which clears your rating with the Kytaan. Then you can land- without bribes, which wont work if the goverment is angry enough at you. BTW, I assume that 1600 million is not much is sarcastic. That is the maximum amount of money allowed by the Nova engine before it flips over to negative. And the earliest copies of EV had a bug which caused it to flip over when you had over 2 billion credits.

Well, did you do the mission? I just remembered yesterday that if a planet/planets are mission destination, youre allowed to land, no matter how bad your legal status is. Have you tried landing or do you reckon you would be unable just because you have bad legal status? You can see if you are supposed to go on that planet as part of mission if you see something like "Cleared to land", instead of just "Landing reguest denied.", which you usually see. Or am I misunderstanding the whole thing and youre unable to land because youre constantly attacked? Then, after battling the Kytaan fleet that is part of the mission, just run away from the other ships that just happenened to be in the system. Afterburner away until your enemies are so far away they are so far away you cant see them, and far away even looking from the radar. Then quickly Afterburner back before they can catch you and land on Kytarr Major. Repeat for Modbrek.
