It's true.....but money isn't never enough.....

Anyone still have any idea....?

Me neither KIRAN....... perhaps one day we'll get paid our dues.....

The note was to remind me that, if I did eject the pod, I'd lose anything stored within. But, while checking it out, I found that if I loaded items into a CC pod via Logistix they didn't register when I later went to TacOps-Transporter. To actually "stash" items off ship, I needed to load the pod via Tactical. I must be missing a step somewhere P.S. Edit time for previous post has elapsed. Loading a cargo pod in the LOGISTIX interface it's the same as loading the cargo bay of the transporter for deploying a cargo on the furface of a planet..... it's true that it create a cargo pod on the planet but it's not your CC cargo pod that one.....

Thanks.... probably I miss it in the manual but it's not on page 10... I got the italian version of the BCMG manual...... I'll check twice..... sorry

I see in the COMMLINK inteface in the stat page stat I have a salary granted for my work in the terran military as a commander of a GCV spaceship...... Well the question is simple.... anyone knows when that damned burocrats will pay me that damned money? Is there a fixed delay of time such as once per day or so, or I must do something impressive to be payed.....? Thanks for the help...!!

It clearly states that I can use the eject button from the Cargo screen to loose them forever OR I can eject the pod from the bridge. The book does not explicitly state that the pod can be picked up if ejected from the bridge but it IS implied. So the question is how do I eject the pod from the bridge view? This is a feature that will be available only in multiplayer game to make possible for a player to exchange items with another..... if you search the noob forum fot the mach words "cargo pod" you'll find that also the SC has confirmed that...... MP RULES!!!!

[/QB] I'm afraid you have misunderstood the manual MARVIN..... it clearly states that if you do so you will loose forever the items that you jettison in the space...... that procedure don't create a cargo pod..... it simply trash the selected cargo items......

Thanks everyone.... the matter can be closed to me..... now I have understood how to use the pod of my CC.... it's not the most friendly of the method but that is what the SC has provided us..... If can be of help keeping the board clean, anyone who have the authority can delete the topic or do what must be done.....

I have look beter in the game and I am almost sure that is not possible to unload all cargo from a cargo pod..... Maibe you are talking about a cargo pod piked up by a shuttle.... in that case the items are automatically moved to the shuttle bay and when you hit the unload all items button you empty the shuttle bay.....

Thank MARVIN but how the hell can I UNLOAD ALL ITEMS from a cargo pod....? I found that option only for craft such as SC, OC and drones.....

I read in other topics that before putting a marine on duty you have to get him prepare for combat so that he grab his rifle, grenades, etc.... Well i put some men on duty without letting them prepare but when in the tactical section i look at their inventory i see thet they always have their rifle with them..... even while they sleep.....(good old marines....). The only difference is that they don't have grenades and secondary weapons such as bazookas or precision rifles.... and I consider this an advantage..... try to think at the effect of a novice marine that launch a grenate to an intruder in the middle of a corridor or a deck.....or worse if he fire a roket and miss..... I don't want to find myself floating in space for a hull breach caused from inside by a stopid (and dead by my hands) marine.... Guess that if on duty on board the CC marines equipped or not don't make any difference..... if you launch a planetary assault or a boarding party in future releases of the game then it will make a big difference..... Please correct me if I'm wrong.... especially the SC that I read has sayed something about that in the past... P.S. Really great game!!! More I go farther.... more I like IT.... If I ever meet the SC personally, I assure him that I will offer him a drink...

Thanks Pugwash, I already found that way but I thought that was only a second way of retrieving the items previously put in a cargo pod. So I assume there is no way of seeing the contents of my CC cargo pod..... I have to remember what I put in the pod and always leave at least a unit in my CC cargo bay to be able to extract them from the pod....? Well pardon me but it doesn't seem to be a very handy mean of administrating my ship logistic..... but if it's the only way....... By the way anyone can give me directions on where to find a complete manual of BCMG?

Sorry to post again that problem but a read all the previous discussion on the topic and found that the indication and the reference on the manual provided in previous answers are not correct in relation to the manual copy that I have..... I have problem using the cargo pods; I can easily put items in the pods but I can't find a way of retrieving them out. I know that I can put items in the transporter bay to beam them on the surface of a planet generating a cargo pod, and I have read that in single player mode there is no way of putting directly in space a cargo pod without using a shuttle. But how the hell can I use things where I could put something in and can't find a way of having it again in my hands? I have read an answer from the SC that referred to P.39 of the manual; no luck...it doesn't match with my manual.... I have bought BCMG and the inner manual is in ITALIAN (I live in ITALY), provided with the software there is an english version (a PDF file) that is slightly more extensive than my italian copy but nowere I could find an exact and explicit description of how to use cargo pods. Sorry for the bother but I NEED ANSWERS!!!!! P.S.: Where I could find a complete and extensive manual for BCMG? For download naturally....... THANKS
