Would you have use for some other images? The ones I am talking about are included in the demo of EOC. One is a sketch of the T-fighter, another is a cross-section of a Puffin-class Tug.

When they're already in the two demos listed here, there's no need to uploaded them again.

Your post made me install these two again and I discovered an amazing thing! The Online Beta contains a little bit of development material.

There are instructions on how to create the bright fonts from the game in Photoshop and there are even the source .psd files for the GUI of the game in there! That is awesome. It looks like when they put the Beta out they forgot to remove the source files. These things are missing in the CD demo that came later.

This means I may be able to give this website a little more I-War touch ;)

Space. The final frontier.

this is an oldie but a goodie

does anyone remember being out and about and some NPC comments on how nice your ship is and then challenges you to a race? Is there anything significant to that?

I have tired following that ship, blowing it up, formating with it... it doesnt seems to do anything, no reward, nothing.

just curious if anyone got any other results form that encounter.

I've had that happen, almost always when your ship's "threat" level, specified in the ini files of the ship and its various subsystems, is a high number or you're in the patcom. As far as I can tell, it's just in the game for atmosphere. After the other guy takes off for a randomly designated location, the script running whatever he's doing ends, so nothing really happens. I just ignore them now.
BTW, I forgot to mention that on my storm petrel, I gave light hardpoints the ability to carry regular PBCs. The PBC did get a lot weaker, because more were carried and on lighter ships, but it did enable the storm petrel to take on anything up to destroyer size. It also let you have greater firepower on the comsec, because quad lite PBCs really did get weakened in my weapons rebalance.

Very little about the game is not known to me. Any questions you got, throw them at me. :)

I've never had that happen to me as fr as I remember. But you guys have played a lot more than I have. I think it would be interesting if racing was an option for earning money in the game.
