Title: Hi Post by: Murka88 on January 04, 2004, 12:43:38 am I've just downloaded the freeware Star Control 3
from www.the-underdogs.org but I can't figure out how to add ships to my mothership :-[ they just on the colonies but when I leave the colony the ships aren't with me,... plz help!!! Title: Re: Hi Post by: Culture20 on January 04, 2004, 03:05:15 am There is no such thing as the freeware SC3 unless its a demo.
Also, this is the UQM forums, which is a free clone of SC2, not SC3. Most people here hate SC3 with a passion. Example: My suggestion for the problem with your (likely illegal) version of SC3: delete it from your hard-drive, even if it doesn't contain a trojan virus, it's still the digital equivilant of necrotic tissue. Title: Re: Hi Post by: Ace987 on January 04, 2004, 08:02:47 am It's in the manual.
Oh, you don't have a manual because you didn't buy the game. Guess your going to have to figure it out yourself. Title: Re: Hi Post by: Urka-Murka on January 04, 2004, 09:04:12 am Its the full game - and its LEGAL
www.the-underdogs.org its an ABADONWARE site go check it out - search at the "search title" Star Control 3 - and WALLA - there it is now please answer me because I have the manual but i cant find it there :-[ Title: Re: Hi Post by: Rib Rdb on January 04, 2004, 09:31:12 am Since when is abandonware legal? the about page on the-underdogs.org says
Quote We believe that providing games that have been abandoned by their publishers, while technically illegal, is a valuable service..." Title: Re: Hi Post by: Ace987 on January 04, 2004, 10:16:39 am Har Har.... ABANDONWARE. That's the first time I've ever heard that phrase before. I've actually bought this game twice (sad eh). First time when it came out, the second time not too long ago on eBay (lost my first copy).
Anyhow, I'm not going to get into an argument about whether this is illegal or not, but I will say that your answer is in the manual (I just downloaded and looked through it). Title: Re: Hi Post by: Deep-Jiffa on January 04, 2004, 11:16:05 am Read this (http://uqm.stack.nl/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Gendiscuss;action=display;num=1067290824;start=15) and learn what is ABANDONWARE. ( first post ).
Title: Re: Hi Post by: Spurk on January 05, 2004, 06:00:22 pm Did you click the little plus sign next to the squadron of ships? When you do, they will fly to you and add themselves to your complement.
Title: Re: Hi Post by: Deep-Jiffa on January 05, 2004, 07:05:44 pm Why helping this criminal?!? Shame on you spurk!
