I disagree. 4 PALC will make short work of regular M6s at an extreme range.
Right on commander !

true, but you only have maybe 5 degrees that you can hit with 4 palc on the tiger and panther and i've never gotten a m6 faster than a vidar to stick around in that zone long enuf to die, and even then PALCs are very easy to clip friendlies with due to fighters flying threw the afterglow...what ever that is.

I understand there are new weapons in NHTC. I cannot figure out how to get them.

Any help?

We can not give much help about this.

The archive is fine on the server.
However some people, like you, have trouble downloading it.
I can only advise you to try again.

I know this is a spoiler question, but I must know how the lottery works in this mod. I have been offered the lottery on a number of occasion and I thought that it was just a matter of docking at a station. However, I have been docking and nothing so far.
What triggers there to be an entry into the lottery or what do I look for to gain an entry?

Never heard of a lottery in the mod.
Are you using extra scripts ?

You might talk about Station calls by Peroxyde: (more life on stations and some surprises)

Ahhh yes. That could be it for sure! I have done a couple searches via google to find the thread for that but came up empty. Is there a thread for it somewhere that you are aware of?

Apparently, it does work with the latest version of the mod.

There is not much to do - if you hear about a lottery, stay docked and wait for a message. Read it : you will have the choice to buy a ticket or not.
Keep in mind it is a real lottery though, you have only a small chance to win.

The prize can be pretty decent, but can be very small too...

It is a genuine lottery! :D

"genuine" should be translated by "according to the Teladi rules, the organizer is granted more money than the players" :P

There is a problem with the "Hammer Torpedo Fabrication" facilities in that I can dock at them just fine, but either my ship or the facility explode when I try to undock from them. I have tried several different ones and same thing, BOOM! When I look closely at them, there is usually something that was placed in the way of the undock terminal (for example: a sign)

@ LightUrPath: A well-known and easy workaround for several M6 types with this (even vanilla) station collision issue: stay on the ship but tell the AI to undock it without collision detection by ordering it to idle, fly to, jump to, dock at, etc. Regain control when safely clear of the station by making any control input. Annoying if you are playing DiD, but the autosave on docking is a welcome safety net before this sort of thing happens.

This can also happen on just about any external dock if another wide-body M6 is parked on the arm next to yours!

I don't know what I doing wrong, but I cannot get a complete (578 MB) archive of NHTC. I've tried downloading it 9 different times using four different browsers (Firefox, I.E.,Chrome and Opera) with varying but never satisfying results (the DL'ed file sizes range from about 29MB to 184MB). I've used both 7zip and RAR knife (sorry NOT paying someone 30 bucks for the privelege of their interface, they who shall remain nameless but rhyme with BINDAR). No luck. I keep getting "Unexpected end of archive" errors .... not surprising I suppose considering.

I've tried downloading other large archives from this forum (ie Litcube's Universe, 874MB) and I didn't have any issues. Hadn't planned on playing it, I just wanted to see if there was some issue on my end. It doesn't appear so.

I'm really sorry, because from reading the posts on here it really sounds like fun. But, after so many time, I just have to figure something I can't control is causing an issue here, and I won't be able to get around it. Doesn't look like I'll be playing this mod. Oh, well ...
