  1. If u rotate while taking damage u'll end up with 90% of your systems at 0% and 40% hull/armor left. Now think if it was your car and u are driving behind a truck carrying bricks. As truck hits a pot hole few bricks hit yoir car and everything inside explodes and your friends die while outside your car has only few bumps and scraches. Somtimes it seems that your systems are not inside protected by armor but are external like pods attacheted to the ship. kinda funny in a way
  2. Yup would be nice I lost good 10 hours of gameplay with one mistake. now i just have to aim better
  3. I agree first your want to drop colonists next you'll want to tell them what to build. its not CivIII. Like SC said you dont have to play casts you dont like. I never play Explorer or Diplomat, but i love the fact that i have option to do so if i want. Since Elite and Privater i wanned to fly any ship in the game, (if its there already why not let player have it) and here i have that option. And you dont have to trade in the game to make money. I play as Merc all the time and i NEVER trade. I get into fights and salvage caro to sell at near by station. Sure you cant make 10Bill in 5 mins but there is not much you can spend your money on in the game anyway exept repair. And to upgrade your ship you need only several mill and you can get that from selling few nukes (you can find those sometimes). Who knows what Explorer or Dipomat will be able to do in MP or BCO, but for now its nice to get in one of those ships and see what it fills like
  4. Enjoy your well deserved vacation Derek And on behalf of us gamers say Thank you to your family for being supportive as they have been. (otherwise you probably wouldnt be here with us) Mmm... vacations are good, just came back from one wanna go again.. and again. hehe Well enjoy yours
  5. I can reproduce it. You wait for station to launch some marines to defend against other marines Then you take over that station and if u kill marines that station launched game crashes. this is as clear as i can be i send the save file already. hope it helps. better yet hope its just my com doing it
  6. Well first you should enjoy the peacefull time (there arent that many). The way i see it, those of us who palyed game long enough dont have time when there is nothing to do, there is always need to upgrade, make some money or look for trouble. those of us who are new, may take that time to open a manual and read it for when thing start happening (usualy bad things)so u know why bad things are happening and how to make them go away when they come looking for you. its not so much for Humor but more practical solution. Personly i love watching my marines in perscan while they serch, they get in all kinds of strange places.
  7. I desided to leave my home base around Zenlon and since i upgraded my cruiser with new top of the line shields and engine i thought i'd look for gammulians or some other trouble. Being indie i have no duties exept to challenge and amuse myself As as was passing through Sygal i saw a hostile insergent station. I desided not to jump on station's guns right away so i jumped into a small group of ships fighing near by station but outside its range. Taking station head on was a suiside so i waited for some one else to engage the staton and keep its guns busy untill i close in. 2 mins later valkerie carrier jumped in as per my orders. As carrier came in range of radar exploded with red dots as it lunched 20 or so space marines towards station. Station replied with 2 fighters and 20 marines as well. While both sides were busy i got right nest to the station slowly lowering its armor. By the time carrier was blow to bits stations armor was at 5% Thats where i lowered my main gun to 10% and turned off my PTA and slowly began damaging station. As soon as station realized that battle was lost it sreamed SOS, thats when i quickly docked with it ordering my marines to spread around it and take the the first base for the mercs. and so i got my first station for all mercs out there. But outside those pesky marines where still flying around eachother (but not shooting wish intruders did that in my ship) (The strange thing was that station wasnt using all its guns on me or val. carrier. only 1-3 at a time. May be Stations PTA was targeting enemy marines but not fireing on them. It should probaly ignore them, or taking stations will be way easy)
  8. Guys at my EB are polite too, and when i ask about BCM they tell me if date has changed. Even tho i see that they are holding some negative comments they have on their mind about the game, probably so they can make another sale. i pitty those poor bastards, they dont know any better.. really.
  9. Does anyone have a statis pod, so i can get in and wake up when its all ready... Then again knowing SC he keeps coming up with new stuff all the time so probably i'll never wake up. It all sounds too good to be true. like everything else SC does. Ok who wants to start new countdown T minus....
  10. Well if u can waist mechs with planes and chopers easy then u can waist tanks with planes as well and low profile is not gonna help. And why did planes get into picture. We were talking about tanks vs. mechs if we are talking about killing fast why not start droping nukes from satellites and such, everyone is gonna die.
  11. I never said i know much about tanks i got into this topic couse i like idea of mechs and i like challenging ppl and what they belive in and i picked mech side couse its difficult to defend mechs possition without facts. I enjoyed this. And learned about tanks a bit. I should become a spy, finding ppl like u who will be proud of their technology so much that they will talk a lot more then they should Like some one said "The truth is born in doubt" And some one else said "The only way to find out where your limit lies, is to make one step beyond it"
  12. Be it as it may. Is mech better then tanks, thats questionable. Is it practical to build one, not this days. And by the time we can build them, there will be something better then mech and tank hopefully something different. I am gonna withdraw from this battle becouse i dont have physical evidence on my side. I am still mech fan and i think Mech will beat the crap out of a tank any day of the week in real life like it does in a game.
  13. The way i see it, it comes down to math. Lets say it takes 10 hits to destroy a tank. realoading gun every 30 seconds. now lets say tank A shoots at tank B and tank B starts shooting back. In 5 minutes tank A will make 10 hits (assuming no one misses) destrying tank B, but it will aso take 9 hits itself ( since tank A began shooting first). Now lets take mech. It will have 5 guns and will take 20 hits to destroy (in theory its has more armor and weapons) Now as tank A will take 1 shot, mech will reply with 5. in 1 minute tank A will be destroyed taking 10 hits while mech will recive only 2 hits. so in theory mechs will last longer on the battlefield then tanks. When comes to fighting usualy simple principle applied 'He who delivers more damage in shorter amount of time wins, while taking less damage himself' isnt that why we have tanks instead of arming sodiers with LAWs. Now i have a question for you Aramike. What do u see tanks will evolve into in the future. Or will we use same low porfile form of the tank till humans turn to pure energy beings? And speaking of radars how did you and Soback bring real life radar on 31st century mech, we are taking about 31st century mechs with 31st century technology. Ofcourse mechs is gonna suck if you put 21st century technology on it. just like tank will suck if u put balista on top of it instead of a cannon and move it around with horses instead of engine.

  14. Aramike you keep making point that tank has a low profile, compare to what mech, soldier has smaller profile compare to tank and yet we still make tanks. Mech is not a walking tank its should have more armor and weapons so that tank will do little or no damage agains it. Low porfile of a tank will not help it 'couse mech locks on to a tanks power sig. miles away, behind buildings and obsticles where profle makes no difference, becouse its red dot on a radar and it tells u there is a powersourse there with a gun aiming at you. Thats why in the game when u see red dot on the radar u dont care if its a small truck or a mech, what u want to know is how much damage it will take before going down. Mechs are a since fiction, so is everything else in our lifes. Long time ago there were those who said 'One day people will fly', and those without open mind said 'You are crazy, it cant be done becouse it can not be done'. then there were people who said 'One day we will go to the stars' and close minded people branded them crazy. becouse it couldnt be done then. Everything we have now was since fiction 50, 100, 1000 yeas ago, and what we call since fiction now will later take physical form for some one to live with. Plus this topic has gone off track a bit. the point of it was 'It would be nice to have mechs in afgan.' not 'Why military doesnt make mechs'
  15. The way you compare tank and mech is like comparing hammwv to a tank they are 2 different things, tank is a huge gun on wheels and mech is a weapon platform. What would you like better having 1 gun fireing every 20 seconds or 5 guns firing every 4 seconds. And mechs dont need to cary any ammo most of the weapons used on mechs are energy based. I agree u cant make a mech this days. its just like trying to make M1 with steam engine. cannon balls and powder its just not gonna happen. But saying that mechs will never be part of battle is not true. Engines are going to become smaller and more powerfull. They may not be same mechs as we know in Mechwarrior but there will be mechs down the road. When it comes to war simple principle is applied "Bigger is better". Thats why we make cruisers and battleships instead of useing fisherboats. Its evolution, infantry will have armored powersuites and tanks will become mechs in one form of the other.

  16. Personaly i cant tell any horror stories like that, i just dont bother to remember them. In the last 3 years i had problems like yours every month or so. where i wanned to upgrade my system or make it better, and i'd end up messing it up so bad it would take me next 5 days to bring it back to the point where it originaly was. It was easyer to just reformat HD and nuke the system for me then to restore it. Thats why i have my HD devided so i can nuke my com before breakfast and reinstall everything before my coffie is cold ------------------ "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you"

    BCM newbie's

    I hope there will be newbie forum. Not we need one, but at one point we were all newbies when every one was saying how bad the game was. And if we wanna make BCM one kick a$$ game we need to make ppl feel welcom so they can spread the word that there is no game better out there. ------------------ "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you"
  18. Hi guys, just another new face on the boards.I cant say i am new to BC, i got v2.0 when it came out. so i have been playing it a lot. Tried running it a month ago couldnt, so came here for the patches. and now wanna say hello to every one. I noticed that ppl dont like newbie questions here so there wont be any for me,i know manual well enough to start quoting for it Like some one said to look through the posts for any questions before asking any that came up before, and i did just that. I have gone through most of them,it took me a week or so, found a lot of usfull info tho, and not just about the game. So like i said just saying hello nice to meet all of you. ------------------ "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you"
