Mostly just DVD-Rs for lots of crappy b-movies. I don't know about the number of vulnerabilities still available for Windows 95, but I wouldn't take a chance on it. You can download an automated pentesting suite like metasploit which more than likely has a number of modules that could auto-hack an end-of-life patched Windows 95. Depending on your firewall, and browsing habits, it would probably only be a matter of minutes to hours before something wormed its way onto your system if you installed Windows 95 and connected it to the open Internet. This would be a good experiment to conduct in a VM if you got a Windows 95 disc around, I tossed mine out or I'd try next time I was bored.

The screenshot is a couple years old was Windows 2008 R2 Server as host OS, Fedora 15 with LXDE as full-screen guest OS running on right monitor, and Windows XP SP3 32-bit guest OS running in windowed mode with Rebellion playing on the left monitor's Windows destkop. Running Fedora 16 with Gnome3 as my host OS now, I know it's out of date, and I have been meaning to upgrade, but I'm seeding 1774 torrents at the moment and got several 11.5 TBs of encrypted storage I don't feel like messing about with. Each has its has it short comings, for Microsoft, other than maintaining cash flow, there is no reason you couldn't maintain XP for another 20 years and there be a lot of happy corporate customers, I suppose if I could be given XP with endless support or at least until 2040 I might still use it.

Windows 8 Tried the preview version for about 10 minutes and promptly deleted it. Steve Ballmer needed to be canned a long time ago and Windows 8/RT is just further proof of that. Anyways, you can't get me off linux these days, so VirtualBox on linux, ftw.

This is a mirror for the file in the OP since a guy in another thread says he's having problems downloading from there. :http://www.filehostfree.com/skin/stylish/thumb/thumb_zip.png

I uploaded it to a different filehost if you still have problems, try this one: :http://www.filehostfree.com/skin/stylish/thumb/thumb_zip.png

Don't click the green button, click the gray button beneath it that says "Download This File" then put in the code displayed and the file will download.

Now I know that there was a CD left laying around here somewhere...

Oh? I haven't played multiplayer in years. Maybe I'm remembering it incorrectly. The game runs the speed of the slowest client, so setting your client on fast won't speed it up, I like to play slow anyways, game is like a good chess match. Make every resource, character, ship count. Don't value anything as expendable.

I found the full manual in PDF strangely enough doing random google searches for Rebellion stuff a few years back, still got in on storage I think.

I recall your handle, gunships. I think we used to play on the Zone many years ago. Kaos, Clydes_Dale, Rogue9, Zebulon, a bunch of other old farts whose handles I can't think of at the moment.

I don't think moving it does, but a combat loss if your fleet is defeated and the result is an enemy fleet is left orbiting the planet can cause a diplomacy shift.

Yeah, since the time I made those files though, the free virtual machine applications available have become quite advanced. For the simplicity, and additional benefits, I'd just recommend setting up a XP SP3 32-bit guest OS in VirtualBox these days. You get the flexibility of scaling the interface and multi-tasking as well. http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/4869/swrebellion.png

Nah, nothing could be more complicated than using that package. I was merely suggesting make sure VirtualBox is setup to use Bridged networking mode so the guest OS network adapter gets its own IP address on your local network and looks like any other PC on your home network. Open up the appropriate ports for the guest OS's IP address in the guest OS firewall and open the required ports on the router. Basically, the same networking prerequisites as you would need for the host OS to work online. http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html Other benefits to running in VirtualBox is you can scale the interface, and multi-task. http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/4869/swrebellion.png

I feel more raped than a chick in a Women In Prison movie at this point. The worst part is rape counseling isn't even available, the only thing that could bring me closure are the unaltered original trilogy on blu-ray. George Lucas, raping my soul since 1997.

As long as you have everything configured correctly the remote computers connecting to your VM should not know the difference between a host OS or a guest OS. I'm not familar with GameRanger, but if the guest OS is supported and you have properly configured the guest OS and your network then it should work as it would on a real hardware.

Thanks for keeping my work alive. It's been too long for me to even remember enough to be helpful here.

If it's permitted I'll be happy to toss an ISO of the disc up on a public bit tracker and post it here. I can't see the stromtroopers pursuing me for sharing it at this point.

Star Wars Rebellion doesn't require hardware acceleration to work in the VirtualBox. If you have it enabled, and/or the alternative hardware accelerated DirectX to OpenGL driver (make sure it was installed while in Windows "Safe Mode" on the guest OS if you did), then try disabling the hardware acceleration, and/or removing the accelerated driver and using the standard VirtualBox display driver.

Sway the population with diplomacy so you don't have to leave a garrison, ideal for mine/refinery planets only. Bulk your production on planets where you can stage stronger defenses. Often in this game, a handful of defense units is worse than many or none due to the population support algorithm. If the planet has 50-70% percent loyalty you're often better just leaving it empty, but don't remove a garrison if you already have one with doing diplomacy to get it up to around 80% first or you'll find out quickly what happens when you remove a small garrison. Often I find a handful of fighters at each planet, or at least 3-4 planets have a dozen strong squadron in each sector will run off those small AI raiding parties. For the cost of garrisons, having the ability to chase them out of orbit or destroy some fighters is a better cost effective defense.

I like bulk cruisers early in the game. They are crap but they have quick repair rates and if you got a whole fleet of them you can run a dead one to the outisde coord points of the box, and keep your healthy ones in the battle, and in a few minutes you can bring the old ones back in and change out the second wave that are now damaged. Bulk Cruisers are awesome. Carracks are pretty sweet for repair rate also, but are anti-fighter (laser) ship primarily. Bulk cruiser > Carrack in ship to ship. VSDs are awesome for bombardment.

1.00 was always more stable. If you don't need to play between "Rebellion" and "Supremacy" versions in multiplayer, then don't upgrade to 1.01. Multiplayer between "Rebellion" to "Rebellion" and "Supremacy" to "Supremacy" should work fine on 1.00

BEER... did PA die or something? LOL Traitor chances go up as the game progresses, mainly after day 1000 and increases with frequency I think as it drags on... if you need more than 2000 you're doing it wrong.

Download VirtualBox and get a copy of XP 32-bit. Google for a VirtualBox guide. Install Rebellion like normal. No need for all the headaches of running straight on the host OS.
