That's an awesome project bringing back one of the best games ever (IMHO) to life on Linux PC.

Did you know that JA2 featured a native Linux version back then already? It was ported by Tribsoft (afair the only title ever). Last time I checked it could still be played with some workarounds but Stracciatella is obviously the better choice today.

Shame what happened to this franchise. None of the following games cut it :sad:

Quoting: TheSHEEEPDid you actually play the game?
In something larger than the smallest ship?

Is that a Who-Has-The-Longest-Carrier? Cuz I'm Split all the way down, baby :D

Fun aside. Your itch has been scratched and I stand my point: Your positioning sucks. You play that long already? Well, mayhap you're doing it wrong for a long time then. Did you ever read any Sci-Fi featuring space battles? I'm delighted the way this is implemented. You pay for errors - ESPECIALLY with huge ships.

Nice, it is indeed available now. Odd that this happens always minutes after complaining :huh:

I assume they still haven't fixed the bug/idiotic design that shots which hit your allies turn them hostile towards you so that whenever you try to aid an ally you actually end up at war with them.

Oh my…

Quoting: soulsourceThe complaint was not about UEFI in general, but about the Secure Boot feature. The idea behind Secure Boot is not stupid, but that Microsoft is the only trusted issuer for keys is at least questionable from a market perspective.
(I am well aware that all UEFI implementations should allow custom trusted keys to be added, but let's be honest: How many mainboards ship with firmware that really exposes this, and how many users even know about that feature?)

Ok, got it :D

It's a miracle what a bunch of actual sentences can do.

I mean it's not like people _have_ to use Twitter style comments everywhere :happy:

Quoting: scaineI think the irony is that it's meant to be "secure". Also, it was touted by MS for consumer laptops for "security" reasons, but in reality, putting the marketing BS aside, it just made Linux harder to install. This further solidified (as if that was needed) their monopoly on consumer O/S hardware.

Ah… nope. That's BS. Sorry :) There is more to UEFI.

I can agree on that not everybody needs this.

What's the irony?

Secure Boot is part of EFI. That is not Microsoft specific.

Heh, while awesome I highly doubt that anyone here uses TC and has a Chain Of Trust implemented (or even uses the TPM chip in any way even if one could and it's usually just sitting there waiting for You :woot:)

Thanks for sharing tho. Totally my alley :)
