Reading way back I noticed you mention no specific card features to be supported. With the introduction of the XP1 package and its processor hungry attributes have you OR are you considering implementing features like Hardware T&L and other speed optimisations that are found on all common Gforce cards in most gamers machines? It would help a great deal especially when the processor doesn’t live up to much.
-
May have missed the nitty gritty...but what are the new system requirements to run BCM with the XP1 on top?
To maintain smooth play like I have now with what I got, will I need to get a major upgrade just to see these new features go anymore than 10fps?

Decided to go and play Roam in a small fighter class ship for a change instead of the large cumbersome B.C., and oh my god the game plays so much faster when in a small fighter class ship. Shows you how dam slooowwww the big mommas are.
Anyway I decided to fly out from G.Hq, to a moon and noticed an asteroid orbiting. Flying up to it, I noticed small disc like objects about two off, attached to the surface similar to the discs on space stations.
What are they?

Thanks SC....

1. Why when landing on Scorpia, it was raining above the clouds ???, is this a thing on all planets that have rainy weather,that rain goes up as well as down ?
2. In fighter craft, decide to play the ram CC ship game. Why, well wanted to see the fireworks. But I bounce off it!. My CC has shields down, mine are up yet should`nt I explode when flying at mach9 into it ??
Thanks.

Your right there..I have the Freespace MOD too...
-
You think that the era we are playing in and the technology that is being used, they would have figured out the simple task of keeping burglars out!!!!
-
I favour Brian1 ideas(and thats what it is an IDEA)...Not all of us are into Multiplayer games, due to not having the time to participate or have a decent connection necessary to play online with out darn lag creeping in.
He has just brought up an idea about on the fly generated missions, like in favourites like Elite/X-Tension and other Dynamic flight/space simulators.
It’s a good idea, and nothing is impossible with today’s talented coders out there.
Just sit back and wait and see..
-
I thought you were supposed to be having a break!!
Can’t argue with a man who has dedication like this can you.
-
I do... thing is its installed on home machine with no printer you see...work comp has printer so I can print ONLINE material from here.
Plus the fact it has been referred to throughout the forums by others for reference purposes. Which like yourself it puzzled me too.
-
Has anyone come across in the midst of space any Tribles, Space Flies or Space Whales (These were found in Star Glider, I may be showing my age here)... anything wierd I mean etc.
Meant to ask are there things like Black Holes, and other strange phenomenon out there?
-
Saw a few references to the Appendix on the download section of this site, if I was to print it out can I refer to it for use with BCM >?<, or are there certain pages that do not relate that I should be made aware of.
Thanks..
-
Just for the record, where can I find the following screen locations in the game...
What is this...An Asteriod ?

Lovely trees, me want to see..

This was spoke about well before the game emerged, but can trees be burnt or blown to pieces?

Well, I am stunned to read that things have really gone so wrong for such an individual. This Board is if a little too strict very informative, with the best crew of guys who are eager to help I have known since my days at the X-Tension forum.
SC, while again a little blunt at times shows so much dedication to BCM, that I can safely say that this game will keep me entertained for a very long time to come. His fast work with the patches and additions he throws in is nothing short of brilliant. The speed and virtually daily updates so far have really impressed the socks off me.
The game played fine right out of the box for myself, nothings perfect though and SC knows this and why patches are being released ASAP.
I can understand that if you just step foot in here without a little pre-background knowledge or understanding of the boards do & don’ts and so forth that it can come across rather cold and less than welcoming. Short fused and quick temper enthusiasts will obviously get the wrong end of the stick. When you’re in business and dealing with the general public, be prepared for all sorts I know.
All I can say is that perhaps this Trescott and others like him, should take a step back, sit down read some of the posts get a feel of the board and then after careful consideration and understanding post your questions. Let us get you started and hopefully get the game running without problems.
I love talking about a game I enjoy playing, I am sure many on here too also. All new comers young or old, like myself just be patient. If for some reason the game doesn’t run even after patching, worst-case scenario take it back and get a refund.
Hey I am not perfect, I can ask silly questions. But that’s me. Either they get answered or they don’t. But if there is a problem or I have a query I will ask on here. That’s what a public board that’s centred around a game should and is for.
If you’re in trouble, speak to the professionals because I am not one of them....

Ok all sounds truly wonderful, myself I prefer single player. Us 8am to 5pm workers are too knackered to have enough time for online playing never mind single.
But what with the extensive universe as it is, and the shear horse power it needs to run it in its present state, how on earth will it cope with all these ships flirting about everywhere. What’s going to be cut, surely something has to give for MP to work.
But what ?
-
If its at all possible, It would be great to be able to have more control on setting up the mouse (three buttons/wheel in centre) for free look etc, even perhaps the keyboard controls for 1st person. One persons view on controls isn’t everyone’s...especially to us UK players.
Now if I could set up my 1st person controls to how I am used to then in MP I could kick even the VET players back home to mummy!

Thankyou..... I new I hadnt missed somthing in the mystical Manual of life on BCM land.. Makes the Tractor Beam rather useless dont it if it cant even get Cargo pods....
BUT I could be wrong, we could be missing somthing here.... anybody know how to grab a CP with TB ?
Apply ASAP, or send a post card.
-
ok, when ever I try to Tractor Beam a cargo pod, I get the RED CROSS on my VID display, and no matter how I twist and turn the ship it wont lock on..
anyone know why ?
-
Isn’t that a little long winded to just get a cargo pod into stores? Man a shuttle, launch shuttle pick up pod, return and unload. (Mean time ones ass is being pounded with laser fire, or my coffee is getting cold).
I thought a quick tractor beam the thing, teleport it or something straight into cargo hold... would be so simpler. But I bet the later cant be done right?
-
If nobody asked any questions pointless to you or not, then this board would be very boring.
Every question requires an answer; every answer is a possible conversation. Talking about the game is what this is all about isn’t it?
-
Ohhhhhhh, so there isn’t any chance on using captured vessels to use as your own, or as escorts?
Is there anyway in bringing in Tractor Beamed ships and Cargo Pods into the cargo bays?
-
I agree about good games having good game play, but what makes good game play? Its not so much Graphics vs. Game play, as one is lost without the other. The graphics have to be to some degree good else the game will fail to pass off what it’s trying to portray to the player. The graphics have a hand in making game play what it is.
We play games as an escape to another realm, another reality. It’s about game immersion. Without descent visual cues, then it will fail to draw us in.
Our imagination can only be stretched so far, we need to see and hear what’s in front of us to fully believe the world with which the game has thrown us into.

Some years ago you couldn’t have a decent looking game engine without a decent game wrapped around it. You could though have a good playing game being fun and involved yet look like something from under your show. Most games I feel relied on the player’s imagination, as like when one reads a book. A book can be involving yet doesn’t have a single glossy picture in it.
But times have changed together with technology, you may have been lucky to carry this off once upon a time, but I feel the day a game is released without using today’s hardware in one shape or form are seriously numbered.
But why have one or the other. ? The best eye candy games being the 1st person type have the graphics, they push the latest graphics card to the limits and remain to provide pleasure from start to finish.
Then you have the Strategy/War games that have come along way from being simple shapes on a hexagon screen board. Now we have Age of Empires or CivIII for example all being the highest class of strategic game play yet provide graphics to go ohhhh and ahhhh at. They may not look out of this world yet we don’t expect to part with money only to look at little blips and blobs either.
Its not enough to pass a game off without using the £300 pound 3d cards special features and API`s to produce nothing but 32bit 4 billion polygon games with lens flare. Game players from shoot-em-ups to RPG`s want the graphics want 3d excellence and still want a dam good game with it.
These days with what most game players have in there machines, they want a game that is going to entertain and be able to show off to there friends.
Call us greedy, or perhaps just call us human. We the game public I feel want the best of both worlds, the great game play and the great graphics.

Little help on.....
1. Towed a ship into a Space Station with the tractor Beam. Yet couldn’t find the ship to sell? Left station yet ship was still not on Tractor Beam, what happened to it? and how do I sell them?
2. I am having trouble with initiating jump profile with SHIFT 9, since patching with 1002 RC9, coincidence. ? I seem to be getting "Cant initiate jump profile" all the time. Fiddling around with Navitron it worked...before I could simply target on the bridge and just go...
Now I cant find the key information in the manual regarding either, shed some light on the subject someone pleasssssssssse......

Read all about the G4 on TOMS HARDWARE site, and all I can say is hummmm, no direct support for DX8????, its faster yeah... but without the necessary processor to go with it would you get your bang for your buck!!..I only just got a G3, and yet haven’t unleashed its potential even close yet!!!
