One major problem

As Pieter said, all ships or neurtral even priates, and despite his suggestion you cannot go to your deck in first person mode and fire manually on them. Niether can you change your flag to priate and have any effect. That doesn't turn them hostile and it doesn't let you fire on them. \


A small thing the fast travel icons are truncated look pretty bad.
 
That is odd, Jason, I have just installed the Beta3 and my fast travel icons look normal. I did have that problem with the Beta2 though.

Also if you download pirate_kk's new patch that he posted, it solves the neutral ship problem.

Thanks for the link! However I think I wait a while longer
after reading the comments about the bugs. Beta2 is
very stable, so lets give the modders a bit more time!

If you want to fire manually, you should use the [V] key. The spacebar now fires automatically in 1st person mode as well.

Did you install Beta 2 first? If not, you'll be missing the right texture file, which would also make things look bad. Doesn't matter though. Beta 3 will have all required files in there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

It is? I thought there was a bug with surrendered vessels in there that would cause the player to end up suspended in mid-air above the sea. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
If you install the Beta3 along with pirate_kk's fixes, beta3 is much more stable, IMHO.
