Re: Frontier Download Link
Apparently you can view installed devices when jettisonning items at a station. It turns out that the unknown device was an EMP deflector, which nullifies EMP effects imposed by enemies. Useful! I should remember to go back and finish up the freighter mission chain. It'll still be hard, but I've got...

Re: Frontier Download Link
I beat the Arena - the final fight is fairly easy, and the prize is 10k credits. I haven't mapped out the game yet, but it's looking like the systems at least have unique names. I wonder what George meant when he said there wasn't an end. I still haven't seen some of the enemy ships from the startup...

Re: Change Ship mod
I always targeted the head. The body drags you in all sorts of crazy directions if you let it - it'll even move faster than light at the right angles.Also it's quite funny watching a Balin dragon stretch itself out when you change to one of its sections. Like a Slinky spring gone crazy!

Re: Britannia, Fleet and Ares ideas
Firstly, "Black Fleet".. excellent. Can't wait to see them! (I have a vision of Captain Jack Sparrow drunkenly stumbling into his Cent/X cockpit. LAUGHS) "Bring me that horizon!" Britannia could have a TeV-9 and a NAMI launcher to fire XM900s. The original function of Brits was as Worldship - kille...

Re: The Final Strike
Finished three days after I posted in a months - old thread? I'm glad I helped, but I didn't realize I helped that much. Congrats on completing the mod!

This is an old alpha. The newer content isn't out yet.

Re: Frontier Download Link
More: - The Smartcannon is (still) a very useful weapon, but Anvil missiles are more plentiful and more reliable - The shipping company increases both reward and difficulty as the player continues to win, and will lock him out after 3 failures. I'm sure it's possible to get past the 6k mission, but ...

Re: Frontier Download Link
Updates on what I have discovered: - Systems aren't stored before loading, but some are preset. - George hid secret items in the areas around those evil green things that steal your fuel. I have yet to kill one, but so help me Oracus, I intend to kill all of them. - The secret items are special. The...

Re: Frontier Download Link
Testing confirms that my save - load configuration works. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on a Virtual Box, and opening Frontier.exe using Wine. Anyone interested in setting something similar up can contact me with any questions.

Re: The Final Strike
In case you're still working on this, I'll answer to the best of my ability. On the wiki, it says that the Ares Sect relocated to Ares Prime. Is this the name of the mars-like world, the system, or just the name given to the area? The planet. Also, do we know roughly when the Ranx broke-away from th...

Re: Frontier Download Link
What OS did George say would be best for running Frontier? Are there any that would logically be publicly available? Would any Linux variants work?
If all else fails, it's easy enough for me to install Windows 10 on it. I'd just prefer something lighter, if feasible.

Re: Weapon Balance Observations and Suggestions
I've made headway here. It's not all that difficult to write a script that mimics the function of a 'passthrough' value. It's not difficult to have said script create a different kind of weapons fire instead of another of its own, or to have it increment a value stored on the projectile. It's not ha...

Re: Weapon Balance Observations and Suggestions
I think we should look into whatever's made the Kiloton Cannon so weak in recent builds. It can't even breach a Class V deflector most of the time. Is it possible that the balance algorithm overestimates the number of fragments that will hit when a projectile is set to preemptively explode at a larg...
