First things first. Kudo's to the team that made this wonderful mod. Playing wing commander has brought back some great memories, and now I need to get a joystick. Playing with a mouse sucks. You guys have left me begging for more missions, and I guess I will have to learn FRED in order to make my own.
My question is this: Does adding engine energy make the ship go any faster? Or is it a bug that does not allow the ship speed up with all power diverted to the engines? In the intro saga mission, I pumped all the energy into the engines, and the ship only went at 81 (the same speed setting with all energy normalized). It would slow down for if I diverted energy to weapons or shields, but adding energy to the engines didn't seem to make it go faster. It's especially annoying using a longbow and the AI fighters will lead you a long way away from the rest of your wingman.
I didn't want to waste afterburner all the time just to catch up or move quicker into the carrier.
I love the new autopilot. I actually never played WC4, so now I am left in the dark for the rest of the game.
Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about. Hopefully it's not too dark. I have to really boost my brightness levels in the game to see it on my normal brightness setttings.
