  1. I found a way to keep Resnig from activating my injured marines. (He always seems to chose the guy with 23 life to ready for combat, while 2 or 3 marines with 100 life and 0 ff are still off duty). Periodically, it is good to send him to medibay (he must have a headache or a mental problem contributing to his poor judgement) and leave him there a while longer than it takes for his ff to reach 0. I.E. "Resnig you're grounded to medibay, and no gameboy either!" Besides, with the frequency of enemy boarding parties, he could use a break himself! This will help until XP1 and the "stand down" option arrives!

  2. There's a theory that GeorgeLucas got much of the Star Wars story from the Lensman. The books are real hard to find. I have only seen the first anime so I don't have enough information for a full comparison.

    Ogre is very cool. It started as one of those simulation games with the square cardboard chips for units, it came out around the same time as Star Fleet Battles, a tabletop starship game.

  3. Is there a market for illegal cargo items? So far I have been unable to find a sttaion that will pay for anything illegal. I have tried varios TRA and RAI stations to no avail. (If this is a game secret meant to be found by the player I don't want to know where they can be sold, merely if they can be sold somewhere.) As the manual states they are illegal by Galcom, wouldn't they be sellable elsewhere?

  4. Ive been trying the "Bum rush the show" method. I park around a friendly starbase, then attack and tow enemy ships. My problem is using $2700 missles to aquire a $5o bounty isn't exactly beefing up the old bank acccount! Although some juicy cargo pods certainly help. I am currently waiting on my drones. Anyone willing to share some lucrative Insurgent trade routes?

  5. I am considering a reformat. I have tried reinstalling windows, reintalling bcm, cleaning my registry and deleting /installing various video drivers. Xp doesn't allow me to reformat either through the recovery console or disk manager. On disc mangager the format option is unselectable, and using the recovery console I am told the file path is invalid. Is a second hard drive required to run the computer during a reformat? I have only the one partition on my 20gb 7200 hard drive. (Previously I had a PIII with a manufacturer (HP) recovery disk, so I have never tried to reformat conventionally until I bought this computer.

    A second HDD is not required to reformat your HDD.

    Since your system is totally hosed, your best bet is to reinstall XP from scratch. This means deleting the current partition and creating a new one.

    Backup any data you want to save before you reinstall XP, if you can that is

    Good luck and TTFN

    Thx, I will try to delete and then install...It wouldn't delete before but it might after a reinstall of xp(err...repair that is)
