FreeSpace Discussion / Re: Ordering support ship to repair and rearm wingmen?

There never has been as far as I can remember.  I think you could order a repair with cheats, but I've never seen the usefulness of it. 

Friendlies call for rearm when their missiles are depleted anyway, you can't see how many missiles they've got left.  On the repair side, subsystems are self repairing if not completely destroyed, and a friendly fighter that's taken so much damage that it's lost a subsystem altogether will probably be dead before the support ship gets to it.

FreeSpace Discussion / Ordering support ship to repair and rearm wingmen?

« Last post by Iain Baker on April 17, 2024, 05:05:32 am »

Hi there. Is there a way to instruct a support ship to repair and rearm a specific fighter/bomber? And if not - can I feature request this please, and if so how?

I ask as I was playtesting the other night and several of my wingmen had taken some damage, and one was below 10% hull. I got them to follow me to a safe area and called in the support ship. What does it do? Goes to the craft with say 95% hull first and only fixes the ‘10% hull and on fire’ fighter last - after repairing about four other only slightly damaged fighters. 😂 Grrrr…

A ‘rearm my target’ option on the comms menu would be ideal, especially if issuing the order pushes the craft to the head of the queue.

Attention pilots! The 53rd Hammerheads have arrived! Fly today!

Thanks for the patience. With the poll, you decided you wanted squadron patches, and though it took a while, what better way to begin than with the 53rd Hammerheads!

This is a 3 inch (2.54cm) circular velcro patch in military style.

The Unification War / Target monitor

« Last post by Kane Kaizer on April 16, 2024, 07:24:13 pm »

I'm honestly amazed that this campaign is apparently still being worked on. But in the latest version, 2.0.2, I can't seem to use the target monitor box in the lower left corner of the screen. Is this supposed to happen or do I need to do something? It's kind of awkward to play without it.

Also, sometimes I can target ships on my escort list but I can't actually see the escort list. Not sure what that's about.

The FreeSpace Port Upgrade / Radar icons

Playing 4.7.1 and for some reason I can't figure out how to enable the ship radar icons instead of the little blips. I remember being able to do it years ago but for the life of me can't seem to remember how I did it anymore.

I get 46 errors for some reason, but it doesn't seem to affect anything in game surprisingly. No idea how to tell what the errors actually are, though.

My two cents: at the end of the day, I consume/play creative works because they are just that, created. They are a way of sharing in the skills and talents of another person, whether it's their ability to craft fantasy spacecraft out of nothing but Blender and their own imagination, to craft a piece of music that they devised, or to deliver a great vocal performance. That creative spark is a fundamental part of the human existence as far as I'm concerned. If the mass-market entertainment industry starts going the way of soulless algorithm-generated pablum, then they've officially lost me as a customer. I'll stick to what's being made by actual people.

And that's before you get into the massive ethical issues raised by applying generative AI to a deceased person's voice in order to generate a novel performance without their or their family members' permission. No thank you.

I'm looking forward to you playing Incursion and its sequel Return To Sol.

They have somewhat similar gameplay to "Renegade Resurgence" (which you liked) IMO.  Missions are, for the most part, fairly quick and to the point.

It's functionally not that different from IRC. The HLP ~link removed~ discord really isn't very fast.
