i found a strange misbehave of ffe
in ffe crew members are allways(?) unexperienced compared to fe2 where you will have different skilled crew and low skilled are really unsuitable to manage a large ship >tiger (try, it's true).
is that disabled/unsupported in ffe?
or bound to a higher elite rank?
are all crew in ffe female?

further in jjffe all female crewmembers became male (name generating changes) why? does it was johns intention to do so?
does (character) name generating change in general in jjffe?

does anyone have a explanation, help, hint to that?

And in FFE, an unexperienced crew applicant :
Me - "Have you ever worked on a ship before ?"
Them - "No but I know what to do."
Me -"I'll pay you 5cr per week."
Them - "I think I can get better pay somewhere else"
Me - "I'll pay you 10cr per week"
Them - "I think I can get better pay somewhere else"
Me - "I'll pay you 15cr per week"
Them - "I think I can get better pay somewhere else"
Me - "I'll pay you 20cr per week"
Them - "Thanks I'll take the job"

Every time.

Not very realistic IMO, if you've no experience,
you start at the bottom, doing all the horrible jobs,
then as you gain experience you get better pay.

seems like in ffe all crew never worked before as crew but have max. experience, because fe2 didn't acts that way, unexperienced will work for a low wage, experienced not.
i have crew hired for 15cr in ffe (to separate in fe2 i allways pay experienced 20 unexperienced 15).

simply that you bump at all sides into the stations dock while docking with autopilot (in FE2)
try only unexperienced low paid, it should make a difference to ships > = tiger trader. maybe even misjump probability will be affected, but this i can't remember (i think therefore you have to test it out).
i haven't checked it actually, i just remeber that from playing FE2 for such a long time, usually i pay my crew well and select only experienced, because of this manner and if i remember right you can only hire experienced crew (or pay less) by a higher reputation (>10% extra).
but maybe i'm wrong at all :confused:

this referes to cd32 fe2 (the best fe2 imo)

btw. somewhere i have read that it's not possible to save more than the one file to internal mem (if you play on a cd32). that's not true, you can start the cd32 console with a custom boot cd and load a wb, setup a RAD and save afterwards to the RAD like in common fe2 to disk. if you play on a a4000 or whatever or emulated it doesn't matter anyway you can save to disk as usual.
to make cd32 fe2's save to internal mem function work you have to setup ENV: (on the amiga) by the command
mkdir ram:env
assign env: ram:env
copy envarc: env: all
in your startup-sequence
after it's possible to save/load to internal mem.
you can use that to finish time exceedet missions in time. after you received the message that your arrival is late save to internal then reload from internal, you will re-enter the system and all missions will finish in time (if date after jump is before termination).
also a load from internal will perform a "game reset" and you can get rid of a lot of pirates which have awaited you before.

Help!!!

Have downloaded GLFFE, the game runs but with no sound. I have tried various fixes but none work. FFE3D runs fine, but I want the original gfx updated. If any one can suggest a fix I would be extremely grateful. Thanks a million.:D

Sound works fine for me. Have a word with your computer.

Hmm, have you got the FX and MUSIC in the same folder as the exe?

Play FFED3D!

For the record though, GLFFE sound worked fine on my computer. If you've got some new-fangled OS like 7 or Vista, perhaps play with compatibility.
