Pulse, I think I already responded at alleg.net but basically your WMI (windows management instrumentation) isn't installed (win98) or the service isn't running (2K/XP).
If you run into technical issues, you'll get very speedy answers at alleg.net forums.
And forgot who mentioned it, but yeah, the spirit behind Alleg is very much X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter. And I agree the training sucks but it's still worthwhile to get a grasp of the basic interface. But feel free to abort the one where it sends drone after drone at you <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Oh and one question. Are there also the pirates and those aliens in the game still (forgot their names, sorry)? I loved the aliens' capital destroyer, with the 12 km cannon range...

In case you guys missed it, there is a scheduled "Big Game" this Saturday 4pm EST. This will have a 200 (yeah you read that right <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> player limit and take place on a *counts* 26 sector map called East-West. Based on past Big Games I expect between 100 and 130 players to show up! It's gonna be a total furball, and you can't find that kind of action anywhere else <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
It works and I just finished the training. I disagree w/ the way you have to wait for your ship to correct itself, but oh well. It was like that in Wing Commander : Prophecy, but it wasn't as bad.
<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> i downloaded this when you were giving the accounts out to NS forums a few months ago but i deleted it cause i couldnt get it to connect <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> now i know how to get it to work! w00t im going to do training then off to the internet! Iced_Eagle will be my ingame
Edit: wow training does suck as usual... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> now im getting .NET Framework 1.1 so i can play online o well im glad i got DSL!
First run the ASGS and make sure it controls the SOV Login and it will auto launch allegiance (dont click on allegiance.exe as it won't work) and then you should go to Web Games and it should auto-update (takes a hell of a long time... 315 files you must get to be updated! takes roughly 5 mins on ADSL) then you should be able to play. <a href='http://www.alleg.net/login.html' target='_blank'>http://www.alleg.net/login.html</a> <== for full details
Also this is very general but for anyone having connection problems its either the thing listed above or necessary ports aren't open giving you the failed to connect error... open ports 2300-2400
Edit: Anyone that has working Allegiance copy lets go and play! join the fullest server!

BTW- if you didn't like training, thats something we can cover on friday's game.
My game name is "Quaunaut(0)". I hope to see you guys there, and everyone, go idle in #ns-allegiance
So make sure you get things going before then.

Sooo, how do I play with the Ns homies?
My local time being GMT +8, 7pm would be... 11am the next day?... no wait, that was yesterday. Oops.
Anyway, if I'm on it'll be under this name.
