Thanks for the support guys.

You might have noticed my absence from the forums for a while now. Part of it was just my yearly summer overload but recently it's been a bit more than that. My wife's maternal grandmother is 92 now and is fast approaching the point where she won't be able to stay alone any longer. The plan is to have her move in with us once the weather cools a bit and we can shut-off our swamp cooler, early September or even later this month if the current weather trends hold. She's not an invalid so it won't be like having another young child in the family but this will dramatically change the family dynamics in my home for some time. As such, I've requested an extended leave of absence. I don't even know if I'll be able to pop in from time to time as I just really don't know what to expect. Until later!

LOL...my first forum posts began with questions on how I could get my crew to spend more time in the Library to boost their AI levels. What ensued was not the most graceful entry into this group.

quote:Originally posted by Kasey Chang: In the HTML/Appendix Upgrades, the Stormcarrier was referred to as G-Super Carrier. However, under carriers, Stormcarrier is listed simply as "Super Carrier". So... what is a "G-Super Carrier"? Gammulan, although it's rumored that it will lose that distinction in the future.

SC1 is an abbreviation indication Shuttle Craft 1 and Detention Hold and Brig are NOT equivalent terms. I throw prisoners in the Brig (indicating that they are jailed) whereas I assign marines to the Detention Hold and they are NOT in the the Brig. The current nomenclature exists for a reason and has worked very well for quite some time now. IOW, any unification is not needed. As to a comprehensive compendium of the nomeclature, I belive that one was started some time ago by a couple of players but not sure what happened to it.

quote:Originally posted by Kasey Chang: Uh... I guess it's a LITTLE ambiguous, but I think I found the passage. The answer to my question is YES, since the manual stated that "the higher the protection level, the more plutonium required". However, at the time I thought it was referring to shield generator upgrades. Lower protection levels (25% vs 100%) uses less plutonium...correct. Upgraded shield generators will use LESS plutonium than the downgrade version because they are more efficient. They will, therefore, use even less plutonium to maintain lower protection levels.

quote:Originally posted by TopSpeed: I have been using the Logistix screen. Logistix-Crafts-CC-Deck 3. Weapons Pod #2 is red, with 0% integrity. When I click on it, the menu for repair, replace, and upgrade is present, but none of the options can be selected (they aren't greyed out, are light but not highlighted). Then, as Pugwash suggests above, it's likely that the parts are still in an asset cargo bay (shuttle, OC) or you're docked at a station. Repairs at stations usually work whereas replacements at station usually DO NOT work (that is by design).

You have to go into Logistix and tell your engineers to repair or replace it.

It'll work as long as the First Ammendment challenges are defeated (I'm interested in how they'll claim that this impedes their free speech, just because you can say it doesn't mean I have to listen) and as long as those of us who register are vigilant in reporting offenders.

quote:Originally posted by Sir John Falstaff: No matter how many mercs I waste they keep comming back. They are pesky vermin. Is there a way to eliminate or hamper their spawning? Fighters, if you have them. Launch and order to attack the mercs. When the mercs attack the fighter either let them duke it out or have the fighters high tail it back to escort the CC and you take out the offensive merc.

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: I have to agree. But its still annoying that he continues to post while ignoring my questions. I mean, what I'd like to know is, if he has the printed manual, whats he doing with the downloadable online manual for BC3K?!?!From this post, I'm guessing that he wanted a PDF version so he could do searches on it. I know I wish there were a way to combine automatic searches with a printed manual as I prefer the printed word but love a good search function, but I digress. quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: So, Jaskatar, why are you using that very old manual (and causing us such headache)? Also, which version of the game (BCM or BCM Gold) do you have and where did you buy it?

quote:Originally posted by Bandus: I have a question actually. Has anyone ever seen Resnig do something INTELLIGENT? As in, has anyone ever seen him do the right thing in a given situation? Yes, however his AI is now at 100.

quote:Originally posted by jascatar: This manual : http://www.3000ad.com/downloads/bc3k/bc3kmanual.exe I figured as much, that's the manual for BC3000 which is the precursor to BCM and BCMG. Relax Bandus. I mean look at it from jascatar's point of view: What if BCMG were written and supported only in French? The fact that jascatar is being so persistent is proof that the game is indeed for him. If he were trashing the game, which he isn't at all, then I would agree.
