I did see that message; well, I guess that I'll be fulfilling my own TOD4 then !! [ 09-21-2003, 08:20 PM: Message edited by: Jaypexx ]

I have completed TOD3 5/5 in BCM v1.09.01 and the game states that I have completed my inaugural missions. The counter for the next mission/tod then stays at all green 0:00:00. Did I do something not to gain access to TOD4? Also, I've collected all of the "INTEL" related artifacts as well as the TA Shield, but I've haven't come across the KARANIAN MARK IV REACTOR or the TRANS-MATRIX CLOAKING DEVICE (I know where to find the R.A.N.D.O.M. though ). Any suggestions?

In TOD3 2/5 & TOD4 1/1, what is the penalty for capturing a starstation if Galcom wants it destroyed? I would think that accquiring real estate in those areas would go with their guidelines as far as ezpanding. Also, you might have captured the station before that mission was given & destroying a TER/MIL asset might not look good on the ol' resume.

After reading the following links (http://www.3000ad.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000587#000000 & http://www.3000ad.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?u...=000129#000005),, I still can't get the Salamanda to come out and play, even after attacking her peep in self-defense in that region. I have loitered with weapons systems inactive, I have used probes & not used them, and I have even tried mining the jumps gates to keep her from leaving. I have even entered Tyrinnis cloaked & uncloaked. If the radar is passive mode is gray, then I have done that as well. So if there is a way to get into battle with Sally & a stategy that I haven't employed above, then by all means educate me on what to do.

I actually had a shuttle tow Starball and the Vagrant said that the shuttle was under towed and took off without it. I sent that shuttle after them and two sectors later "delivered it" to the Vagrant - mission accomplished...

You could start by using common sense Yeah, I just realized that most cargo carrying vessels seem to go on "patrol" in a region before docking or jumping out of there. I'll keep a better eye out in the future since it might have been how I found the CO artifact. Thanks for the advice folks...

True, but how are you supposed to look for the artifacts without endangering your shuttles? If the BC had a "collect" option or something that could tell you to search a particular ship, then it would be a different story. Just the same, thanks for the reply.

As a TER/MIL person, I can use the cargo scan interface on the BC or shuttle to scan the cargo stores of other TER/MIL ships, but not the ones of other races like the ones carrying the artifacts - NO STORES INFO is displayed. The only way I any know that someone has something to "collect" is by using that command on deployed shuttles to retrieve the cargo & only then do I know what the other ships had on them. If it's me doing something wrong, then please let me how to correct this issue. Thanks.

In regard to TOD1 Mis 3/5, I have rescue the SOSed Diplomat8 and delivered it to Ramix, yet I didn't get any exp. points for making sure it made it home (let I lost some when it exploded in my face ) and it is said to be destroyed in TOD1 Mis 4/5 briefing . If it's predetermined fate is death, should I even bother trying to save it? Also, I probably shouldn't capture Zerin before being given the order to do so if I want that promotion a lot sooner, huh?

Just after I made my post, I found reference to your weekend update, which is now installed and seems to be functioning properly. I still wouldn't mind seeing a "Save & Resume" though .

quote:Originally posted by Bandus: What exactly, besides the difference in name, would there be between a Quicksave and a "Save and Resume" feature? The difference between the now defunct Quick Save and my idea is that you would be sent to the save screen to do your thing and then be automatically returned back to the game after it was successfully & safely saved. Right now, with Save & Exit, we go to the save screen and then out to the main menu, only to manually resume the game.

SC, maybe you can replace the Quick Save feature with a Save & Resume feature, since that is what most of us do anyhow. Save & Exit should be used just for that, when you actually want to quit the game or that particular profile. I'll siddown now....

I have read the manual, but thought that it might be for ships or something in space. Thanks for the heads up. Say, how do you get into the Nightstar in Obsida? When I went looking for that artifact in that area and came across that ship, I knew it was there, but I couldn't find a way in and I was there by myself with just a shuttle...

I just captured MUL/INS(?) TULON in ACM mode last night and tractored the remaining enemy ships to my newly acquired station . However, the system is still bringing up a red CAS warning and I believe that it has to do with that orbiting supply station, which I tried attacking till I was blue in the face . How can I put it under TER/MIL control or destroy it to get rid of the warning? Also, what are the supply stations and how are they used in the game since they are everywhere ? Finally, TER/MIL TULON destroyed its former ODS, so how can it be replaced? Thanks in advance for any assistance provided...

It happened again! Some of the pilots were dead and cloneable; some were dying; some were just to healthy and I couldn't find them on the planet! Whay gives here? If I can't rescue them nor find them, then I can't replace them either....
