#13 Negative shields; Privateer 1.2 (savefile attached)

[Paul Fenwick]

Love the Privateer remake; absolutely fantastic! However during play I somehow managed to get myself into an odd situation.

Put very simply, I have a ship that has negative shields. You launch, the shields DECREASE and then eventually go negative. Unsurprisingly, once you get hit (even with the smallest of weapons) you die.

The good news is that that I've got it in a save file, which I've attached. The bad news is that there were some oddities before I got into the negative shield situation, and I don't have savefiles for those. In particular:

* I had a ship that produced no power, and was
listed as having a negative power production.

* Said ship would not accept a reactor. Upon
purchasing another ship, and transferring back
to the original, it *was* able to accept a
reactor, and it somehow ended up with fine
art in its hold.

I'm using the Privateer Remake 1.2 release for Windows. If there's any additional diagnostic information I can attach to make things easier, please let me know.
