Re: smugglers 3 Sorry for the double post, but I figure it's been some time and others may be interested in my findings. It doesn't appear that smugglers 5 sesession or invasion are availible from the company's website, according to their distributor it was discontinued from their catalog. It is however availible from steam, in the meantime I wait to hear back from the developer about this.HTH,Daniel URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=346869#p346869 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: smugglers 3 Hi,Thanks much dark. I was actually trying to buy five, but for some reason the neilsbouerr site, or rather the merchant they use says that it is no longer for sale... I'm not quite sure why, Smugglers 5: Secession that is. Is there another platform that it's best to buy the game from?Cheers,Daniel URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=346496#p346496 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: smugglers 3
Re: smugglers 3 I'm not sure exactly Daniel, since I haven't tried smugglers 3 with Nvda.I do know it uses far more standard windows controls than 4 or 5, list boxes, buttons etc, so sometimes you might be best off turning off screen review and using arrows, eg, when looking at lists of upgrades or the holds of your ships. I do remember needing to actually use simulated mouse clicks far more in the game than in 4 or 5, eg, I'd have to press the space bar twice in rapid succession to perform a double click on items with Supernova, rather than having supernova's usual instant double click keys work, so you might give that a try (I the left click emulation in Nvda is numbpad plus but don't quote me as I haven't had to use it thus far).In general however I would recommend playing smugglers 5 over 3, , particularly because the interface less haphazard and you can find a guide about s5 and Nvda in the articles room.Even in gameplay terms though, while 4 didn't replicate everything from 3, 5 now sort of does. orbital turrits and a lot of the ships are back, plus 5 advantages such as far more interesting combat, actual stories for each planet, professions, npcs etc, (you can even now still get married). 3 is a great game and I don't regret the time I spent with it, there is a reason it's now essentially been down graded to a freebee.

smugglers 3 Hi all,After reading Dark's review, I decided to buy the Smugglers bundle, which includes smugglers 3. However, I'm running into some interesting problems with the game with nvda. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm running it on windows10, but when using screen review certain things can't be clicked on. Has anyone else experienced this?NVDA 2017.4 and windows10 64bit.Many thanks for any help,Daniel URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=346450#p346450 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: smugglers 3
Re: smugglers 3 As with smugglers 4 and 5, you probably need the nvda review curser you cant just press keyboard keys and expect things to work. S3 doesnt have a blind compatibility mode the way s4 and 5 do, however it does have all its images etc labeled and uses list boxes and other more standard windows controls.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] looking for smugglers 3 tips and strategy
Re: looking for smugglers 3 tips and strategy Hi John. The first thing about smugglers 3, is that it isnt smugglers 4 or 5. In 4 and 5 it is! possible to do a complete combat path, take bounties and do missions and progress, however Smugglers 3 it isnt, since the cash you get from missions just isnt enough to do anything significant, for all theyre worth doing for fun. You8 absolutely have! to traide in s3. I did however once read a stratogy guide on s3 on the old Nielsbauer forum which gave some fantastic tips on how to make money trading, although it mostly only applies to the federation. Firstly, spend time trading around Finis until you have enough for a paladin or other similar ship with jump engines and can leave the system. Then, go to Cars system and buy drugs. These can be sold in Sol for a whacking great wodge of prophit, and though you run the risk of getting court smuggling its worth it. indeed, if your a real cheater you can just kee p saving and restore the game if you get a criminal reccord from smuggling though this is a little scummy. keep trading drugs until you have enough for the cariage transporter or one of the other big haulage ships. Then, trade it in, buy lots of cargo holds and carry on trading drugs. Once you have enough cash, you can then buy yourself a cruser.Id suggest the Neptun although if you have the s3 addon you can also buy the Gladiator. once youve got your cruser, you can then get into combat in a big way.To win the war you need to start capturing planets. To do this, once youve got a big enough ship you can go and find a planet and attack it. This will require winning several tough battles, usually 5-6 in a row. Again, if your a cheater you can hit alt f4 on the battle screen in planetary combat until you get an easy battle (and note orbital turrets arent an easy battle, though this isnt necessary if you ha ve good tactics and weapons). Once you have taken down a planets defenses you can either extort money from them (a lot of money though buy this point you should have enough anyway), or make them join the federation. If you get all the planets of a system to join the federation then that faction will declare peace.Thus, you need to take over three systems fairly quickly, though this isnt easy. As regards the treasure fleet, well there you need to first be lucky and actually encounter them, since unlike in s4 or 5 you cant get special sensors to try and track them down. Once you run into the treasure fleet, you will have a similar time to a planetary combat and lots of tough battles. The only problem is that to be tough enough to withstand all the battles you do need the best and biggest ship with all upgrades, which makes the actual cash reward from taking out the treasure fleet a little superfluou s, though it does add to your score. Then of course with the addon there is the little miniquest about getting married and the chance to do gladiator games, though that takes lots of money and requires huge amounts of combat. In general, a lot of stuff in s3 is good, but to me after s4 and especially s5 s3 now feels a little lacking since combat, capturing ships, exploring and winning the war is so much simpler, heck, in s4 and s5 you actually have to find! the treasurefleet. I also do miss the prophfessions of s4 and 5, since in s3 you pretty much have to trade and do a bit of smuggling and piracy rather than playing a pure combat or pure pirate game, thus meaning you dont get so much variation in gameplay styles. Though all that being said, I do like the many different ship types in s3 and I hope that when the s5 addon comes out well see more ship types for the game, since it does get a little tiresome fighting only two or th ree ships of each class. I also do like the planetary capturing system too, indeed I do believe something similar will be coming in the addon but well see.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156863#p156863 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] looking for smugglers 3 tips and strategy
Re: looking for smugglers 3 tips and strategy Thanks, that helps a lot. I guess I just havent traded to much because of the amount of time it takes, and the fact that the game pretty much forces you to quit after so many turns. Ill have to buy a cargo ship next time rather than a combat ship and see how that works out.Ive never seen an orbital turret defending a plannet, are they only in the addon?URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156904#p156904 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] looking for smugglers 3 tips and strategy
Re: looking for smugglers 3 tips and strategy Well S3 as I said was before the profession system meaning that treading is really the only way to make big money. On the plus side, you dont have! to trade once youve got a big enough ship meaning you can pretty much drop it, and if you take the stratogy of doing drug runs from Carsen or New manchester to the Sol system you can make money pretty quickly. Not being as much a trader fan though i will say I do prefer the later games for this reason. Im not sure if orbital turrets only appear in the addon or not, since Ive always owned the addon as I didnt see the point being without it. I do know the Addon does make combat generally in s3 much more interesting since there are more ship types and weapons to play with, for all its not quite as intricate as in s4 where the system got utterly redesigned, much less s5 which can get pretty complex.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156927#p156927 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] some questions about smugglers 3 full version
Re: some questions about smugglers 3 full version Smugglers 3 is a good game, but s5 just has so much more these days I wouldnt really want to go back to three. Indeed, while four missed a few things from three like mines and ranged combat, theyre all back in five plus a hole bunch of other new stuff.Btw, there is a quick and dirty way to make lots of money in three in a short amount of time, --- drugs! More specifically, drugs are very cheap in the carse system on new manchester or carson, and very lucrative in the sol system. So, the best way to make money is buy the biggest ship you can and just shuttle back and forth a little, once you start doing this with a cariage class ship with five cargo holds you can make enough for a battle cruser in only two or three runs! AFter that, well you free to do what you like. Of course 4 and 5 stop this little exploit by making it much harder to smuggler illegal goods without the necessary skills, but since the rest of the game is much more fun and since in s4 and 5 you can! advance through missions and ignore trading if yu like, this doesnt matter.The most fun I had with s3 was during the mariage quest (beware spoilage ahoy!). When the govenners daughter asked me for a pretty neclace, I flew to the planet to find I couldnt in any sense aford it. However, since the planet had been taken over by the scummy syndicate, there was a better way to get the money, that being bombardment! I blew 7 shades out of the planets orbital defenses and then looted it of cash. However because! they were part of the syndicate they wouldnt sell to me, so I then bombarded the planet again! and forced them to sware loyalty to the federation so I could buy the necklace with the money they just gave me! Well you cant say my war on them destroyed their economy! .I hope that lady appreciated just how much major devastation that necklace cost, --- quite an expensive luxury. Well at least the thousands who died during my multiple stormings of the planet gave their lives in a good cause, or sort of. So, this is clearly how to impress the opposite gender, --- gio thermal nuclear war!URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=152648#p152648 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
