    Update on the Belkin Nostromo N52

    Heh... I don't have much control when my wrist is cramped at a 45% angle! :p: I just can't control anything that well with my left hand. When playing `Half-Life` there's a place where you have to jump to the back of the elevator shaft. I probably fell into that damn thing 50 times or more! I...

    Update on the Belkin Nostromo N52

    Nope. It's a device to keep you from having to use the dreaded keyboard/mouse `set-up` that FPS people seem to love so much. http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage...oduct_Id=157024

    Accidentally sold my trade mission stuff

    Welp... I'm just proud to put in 14 posts on my first day. Hope you guys can deal with that!!! :? Time to hit the sheets. I think I'm doing much better this time around than I did in my initial start. Still don't have a lot of cash.. but I have much better officers at my disposal, at the...

    Accidentally sold my trade mission stuff

    welp... the box lets you save about 20 times. Despite that (which I've used often!), I decided to start over.. and credit the first 30 hours or so to "training". I'm doing a bit better now. There were a lot of things I screwed up the first time around. I thank ye matey! One question... how...

    Another quick question (or 2..or 3)...

    You're not gonna believe this.. but I bought the Nostromo N50 on sale for $15 bucks a coupla years ago... and haven't even taken it out of the package!!! Is the N52 much different? So on Xbox.. I might as well sell everything? No bonuses?

    Another quick question (or 2..or 3)...

    ...if build 11 is in the Xbox version.. yeah, I have it <sic> Man.. I feel like a lower class citizen playing on the Xbox! augh... (But even if I did have it for PC, I'd get the USB adapter for my Xbox controller. I absolutely HATE using ASWD keyboard controls. It cramps my hands up!) Anyway...

    Another quick question (or 2..or 3)...

    Does the little cross that you can find (an item of faith) actually have any modifiers to it? Perhaps raising your luck rating a bit? Just curious... I've been holding on to it in the off chance it does. Also, in my first game I got a bronze ring that said something like (Hawkes family...

    Accidentally sold my trade mission stuff

    Any way to figure out what you were supposed to take to a certain merchant? I did this once before (doh!), but then I remembered what it was, bought it again at a different island, took it back and everything was cool. But I forgot (or never checked actually) what I was carrying this time...

    Is POTC now worth buying?

    I'm sure the CPU is what's powering you Capt. Cookie. And as far as getting a better GPU... I didn't know what an AGP slot was when I first bought this stupid Sony.. or I would have made sure it had one!!!!!! :x So I think I have the best PCI GPU I can get.. at least a year ago it was...

    What's a pinnace?

    Thanx Mad Jack. From what you are saying it sounds as if Meier's and Port Royale have it right. In PotC, the Pinnace is a class 3 or 4 ship, of which I've only sunk one so far (for 4666 Exp pts!), but was then sunk by it's accompaning Brig, so all was for naught. Admiral... I'm not sure what a...

    What's a pinnace?

    This may seem like a wierd question... but both Sid Meier's Pirates and Port Royale have the Pinnace as the smallest ship in the game, but PotC has it as one of the larger ships. Anyone in the know out there know which is right? :wink:

    Is POTC now worth buying?

    Well... it wasn't that lame 4.5 years ago. But I've maxed it out `upgrade-wise` (unless I totally tear it apart starting with the motherboard and CPU) and have fallen behind. Pentium III 500mhz, with an ATI 32mb GPU card (`All-in` Wonder Rage 128) So yes... my Xbox is much unlamer. heh....

    Quick interface question

    Actually this did work. I was able to assign a Captain your way Keith, but I couldn't assign a cannoneer to the other ship until I "transferred" the new guy in the harbor. Thanx both of you. I still am not getting very far in this. Now that I have 2 Xebecs, every encounter I come into...

    Quick interface question

    oh.. so i have to be in "sea" mode first and "exchange" the officer over to the other ship? thanx for quick response! :wink:

    Is POTC now worth buying?

    Geez.. us poor Xboxers are missing out.. rats. Do any of the mods actually put in the real Caribbean Islands? I was a big fan of Sid Meyer's Pirates, and I know he's coming out with a new one soon. But from what I've seen it's still cartoony, and I really like the more realistic feel this game...

    Quick interface question

    Hiya people. Noob here. Heh.. wouldn't have to even ask this if the "instruction manual" were not so anemic! I just had a second cannoneer join the Darkheath gang, but I can't figure out how to assign an officer other than a Captain to a ship that I'm not personally in charge of. I'm on...
