  1. Sounds like somebody is building Deep Thought II.
  2. quote:Originally posted by Masefield: The entire decade of the 70s was a mistake. Especially disco.
  3. Every time I wash my car, it rains. Same goes for the windows in the house ... wash 'em, it rains ... leave 'em dirty and, even if there's a major storm on the horizon, not a drop all day or night.
  4. Speaking of fleets and leaders, what's the status on those changes to our organizational structure? I'd like to be able, once again, to include the PF Charter in cadet training. But, as it stands, that ain't possible.
  5. quote:Originally posted by Raziel: I feel old. I can remember when people would scream bloody murder if gas went over a buck. o.o Try thirty-five cents. And you filled 'er up at a service station ... meaning the attendant worked the pump and, while the gas flowed, washed your windshield and checked the oil.
  6. Just so long as both get me where I wanna go.
  7. quote:Originally posted by Soback: ROFL, why is your avator looking so sad Marvin. Because she looks suspiciously like my doctor ... and whenever my doctor puts on gloves it's usually just before she tells me to bend over.
  8. quote:Originally posted by Kalshion: Someone get Marvin into this thread.... I'm still trying to figure why this robot is better than anything from Disney's Hall of Presidents ... which is about a hundred years old by now.
  9. quote:Originally posted by insecttoid3: reports say that the orbiter hit a bird 2.5 seconds after liftoff(did no damage though) Tell that to the bird.
  10. quote:Originally posted by LostInSpace: I hope they took some spare tiles up with them this time. Every tile is different. They would need to take a full set ... or, at least one of each of those tiles most likely to be damaged.
  11. quote:Originally posted by Andergum: The computer room is in the process of changing into a baby room. Leave the computer in the room. [*]The sooner the kid learns how to use it, the better. [*]You'll probably be spending a lot of time in there anyway. With a little practice, you can feed the kid and fly your ship at the same time. [*]If nothing else, he/she can fall asleep looking at the pretty pictures. P.S. Congratulations.
  12. quote:Originally posted by Teknocack Prime: ...I think I'd almost have an alcoholic in charge rather someone who seems so filled with vitriol and hatred.I accept neither option. Luckily, neither does the real military. Not often, anyway.
  13. quote:Originally posted by Hellbinder: So yeah i am all for the cencorship of this kind of crap....Shades of John Ashcroft. Cutting a scene is editing. Optically adding a mask to portions of a scene is mutilation. You can have your fig leaves. I'll take my art the way the artist intended it to be viewed.
  14. quote:Originally posted by Ben Zwycky: Everyone please feel free to me as much as they like. Come on, you know it'll make you feel better... Me --> <-- Ben Thanks, Ben. I feel a lot better now. I really needed that short break from updating Fleet documents. Stop by the Alpha Wing bar and I'll buy you a cold one in return.
  15. quote:Originally posted by Kalshion: ...I'll need to wait 6 months before I can join the active service (military).... Welcome back, Kal. After reading the above statement, though, I think you might be in line for The Remo Award for refusing to sit down and take it easy.
  16. quote:Originally posted by Matchoo: I created a simple mission generator program for roam mode in UC... If there is anybody here interested in trying it out, let me know and I will e-mail it to you. Mission generator, eh? Sounds like it's time to dust off the SP version of Universal Combat. Does it come with a readme file?
  17. quote:Originally posted by Cmdr Chavik: And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wind at your back. Don't forget you'll want the wind at your back ... assuming, of course, you're at the helm.
  18. A room has been assigned to you in the Academy Training section at Prime Fleet's forum. Welcome aboard, Cadet Samaelryn.
  19. quote:Originally posted by dk_winsor: I like the open endedness of the roam campaign but would like to do the occasion mission so I can take a break from conquering the galaxy. Basically, textual missions would be perfect. GBSIII allows you to do just this. You can even script it so alliances change according to how well you perform. The best part about scripting your own missions is you can spread them as far apart (time-wise) as you like. The SC apparently prefers the gut-wrenching experience a player gets when he/she must do it all "just in the nick of time" but, using GBS, you can build a series of missions that give you all the breathing room you need.
  20. quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: And if that happens, you [shingen] won't be back. That would be sad, SC ... the battle between the two of you (with Remo as your "second") is the next best thing to MP fleet meets. Heck, it has become a tradition. And about the "persistent" thing ... some of us simply use it as a shorthand term, in PMs or at the fleet forums, for the type of play you described above: quote:If we're talking about server side client stats saving; as I've said before; there are NO plans to do that in any game other than UCO, which is designed to do that from the ground up.Which is why I don't use it here, in the 3000AD forum, to describe server-side stats. For those not familiar with the shorthand, it can be confusing.
  21. quote:Originally posted by Shingen: One thing remains still, and to quote Marvin here: Funny. I was talking to someone just the other day about how you could get into trouble by being quoted. The least you could've done, Shin, was correct my spelling. It's spelled p-e-r-s-i-s-t-e-n-t ... sometimes I get sloppy when responding to a PM.
  22. quote:Originally posted by Cmdr Chavik: But what are those strips of Ribbons with no medals?Every medal (that I know of) is hung from a piece of cloth decorated with some stripe pattern particular to that medal. When you receive the medal, it comes with a "ribbon" decorated with the same pattern. Military regs dictate when, where, and how you can wear the full medal ... and when you should wear just the ribbon. For more information, you can check: About - US Army Awards, Decorations, Campaign & Service Medals. Notice that, when you click on one of the ribbons, it takes you to a medal that's designed as described above. Also check: US Military Service Ribbons and Awards
  23. quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: The official fleet servers will - of course - be UCAWA only. No UC or UCG. Thanks, SC, for that very informative summary. But, most importantly, for the above piece of data. Time for a fleet huddle?
