I doubt that this will work, but.... Try setting the scramble flag.

     Well I finally gave this one a go. On the whole, I liked it a lot better than Transcend in the sense that I didn't get aggravated by the end. And as a story it certainly kept me playing. But I'm not sure how much I really enjoyed it. I think this sort of, campaign style in general is not my cup of tea and I don't mean Ransom's campaigns specifically, but Homesick didn't appeal to me that much either. Just the sort of, I'm in one ship, with one inexhaustible loadout, flying along through different missions. I'm too much of a realist.

     Some things honestly didn't seem to make a whole lot of sense.

Spoiler:

Like the whole thing with the two transports, the Farae and the Qetesh. And people just take it as a given that they're being controlled by who knows what and go along with it.

Some of the characters seemed pretty, sporadic. I know it's pretty hard to keep a character consistent, but some of them seemed to waver in what their state of mind was. Or what the deal was, that sort of thing. Alpha 3 in particular.

It seemed wierd to not have Alpha 1 part of the story. I know Alpha 1 = the player, but Alpha 1 is basically just an observer the whole time until it's like "hey, alpha 1, go scan that". You know, its wierd to have so much discussion, and have everyone talking, except Alpha 1. Though I know you changed that with Transcend.

But anyway, it has some interesting ideas. If you release a part 2 I'll probably give it a whirl just for the hell of it.

Hmm, did you remember to get rid of the /data/missions/ custom-red-alert-removed mission that you created, when you switched to 3.6.10?

[##UnknownPlayer##]

Wow. It's 3am, I just finished playing this. Out of the blue I install FSSCP again and WOW. Great work.

[eliex]

I'm playing Sync for the first time . . . and I've just completed the first mission at night . . . and it really got me up tense.
Great quality mission!

[Locutus of Borg]

On one of the missions, it starts with nothing but black and the HUD

When I use external view I see the area as usual (stars, jump nodes) but not my own ship.

I can't continue the campaign because I have no control of my ship

This has been complained and solved like, what, a hundred times now?

It's a red alert bug that's present in 3.6.9. Disable red alert and it works.

[EDIT] Yeah, and Lobo pretty much posted about the solution on the page before this one.

[eliex]

Ctrl-Shift-S in the techroom mission simulator to unlock all missions.

Thx a lot for that. Accidentally deleted by pilot file, and I was going to resign myself to playing it from the start to beginning . . . but I found this. Thanks. 

By the way, is this the only special trick with Freespace? Is there more?

JAD2 mentioned something about a "nude patch". But haven't seen such a thing yet.

[Dark Hunter]

I would not take anything JAD says seriously, Lobo.

[Jeff Vader]

  Why not? Fine, I'll add the stupid sarcasm tag. [/sarcasm] Happy?

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Nude patch? Do you have a screenshot of that?

[Jeff Vader]

Nude patch? Do you have a screenshot of that?

Just play JAD2. Or at least I think it was 2.

[eliex]

OK, I have officially completed the Sync campaign. Just a few opinions:

- I liked it much better than Transcend because I just like "power in numbers," not when in Transcend it is only 3 guys.
- The overall plotting was excellent
- It was a fun campaign, recommend to all.
- Just a little bit odd at the end

Sorry if this has already been answered, but I'm getting warnings when I try to run Sync in 3.6.10.

I'm using this version:
http://www.freespacemods.net/download.php?view.217

I get two types of warnings. The first all look like this:
Warning: Use of 'ballistic primaries' flag for ship 'GTF Ulysses' - this flag is no longer needed.
but with various different ships. These seem harmless enough.

The second set is what worries me though:
Warning: Pbank capacity specified for non-ballistic-primary-enabled ship GTF Ulysses.
Resetting capacities to 0.

Is this an actual problem? If so, is there a fix for it?

[General Battuta]

No, it doesn't look like it - it just says the Ulysses has a primary bank ammo capacity defined, but can't use any ballistic primaries, so its primary ammo capacities are being set to zero. Not a big deal.

Right?

[Sushi]

But it does use ballistic primaries... at least, that's what the first warning message seems to imply.

The way I read it is that the ships are designed to use ballistic ammo, but the particular method for doing so is deprecated. Consequently, I'm worried that Sync is supposed to support ballistic ammo (but won't be able to).

Perhaps a better angle to take on the issue is to ask how primary bank ammo is supposed to be handled these days?

[General Battuta]

Believe me, there aren't any ballistic primaries in Sync.

At least none that I remember. It's not exactly a gameplay-focused campaign.

[Ransom]

Yeah, there's no ballistics. I've no idea why it would think there are.

[General Battuta]

Let me hastily clarify that I really enjoyed Sync!
