resource points

[darknight]

havent played in a while soooo, i changed my loadout for the angelwing, then realised i needed some precision weapons, so taking the old one out still didnt give me any points back? i even uninstalled them all with no poits being returned, im sure its a silly thing i have overlooked?
thanks guys

Nah it really suck. However the game keeps an autosave of each briefing so you can go back and reconfigure.

The only time you get points back is when you add and remove a module within the same edit session.

Once you confirm the modification you never get any points back from removing a module. Which is stupid because some mission can get really difficult if you don't have a good setup, and sometimes you don't get enough point to properly refit your ship

I have a post regarding near infinite fitting points, make sure you start a new after making the changes.

cheers guys, dam that is silly, you should be able to re configure without that trouble, such a good game, does seem silly.
but thanks for the help

It's a bug that has been there since the beginning. Without access to the source code, there is no way to fix this. :-(

oh didnt realise that, had the game for years, just re playing it again, its such a good game of this type, easily stands up and beats a lot of todays, its a shame the JPI part 2 didnt get made

They ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up real bad, the kickstarter campaign had no work put into it. Only dedicated fans pledged any money.

Shipping a quick remaster for modern PC, like nordic did with the 2016 1.03b update, and by giving away Nexus 1 copies to backers it could have been a success.

The ship movement behaviors are unmatched to this day in this genre.

darknight, it's just a matter of understanding that the game was released almost.. fifteen years ago? Only some years later did games patches become more commonplace, and also the game devs didn't exactly stay on the radar after Nexus for awhile. It's unfortunate.

I used to have the same feels as you about not getting a refund when clearing a fitting slot. Eventually, I set up a series of saves anytime I played campaign. "Mid-mission" for when I couldn't finish in one sitting, "Resource Backup" for post-briefing, before I spend my points each mission, and "Main Save" which was for after I spent my points. I know, it's a bit save-scummy, I was young heh. But this way, any time I made a mistake in fitting it was super easy to correct by loading my backup file.

oh yea of course, im doing the save thing now actually :)
still love the game no matter what, just couldnt work out why i wasnt getting the points back, that dam Titan mission is a pain though, i got caught in the fort shield with my fleet outside it lol
