Eh i like my earth to wraith OTS trade route its quick easy and not to many enemys around once i start to max out the amount of OTS missles i can have onboard (IE the most expensive ones) in my SC i will use my CC or maybe i'll get a nice transport for a little while i think since i have Fleet C&C now in my game that i can order a transport to me then leave my CC and get in the transport no? Does it not work like that? If it dosnt then oh well i just like using my SC because my CC is so slow its a firestorm i like it though its a good ship =).

Ehh okie i dunno i just thought maybe there was a chance i know everything else is randomly assisgned but i never really pay attention to DF and BA eaither just AI level most of the time.

Eh i'll just let it go i'll just play my reg game and use my Fleet C&C which im itching to use BTW lol. Saint not you ruin your trading idea's or what not but if you trade OTS missles from galcom to wraith you can make upto 1.1 mill per missle. There are a few other items i used to trade but i cannot remember i think FC assets and the likes make you a pretty penny too. But the OTS missles are the best as far as i know. especially the highest priced one at wraith it will get you 2 mill more or less. But OTS-Tanix i think is the one i trade all the time then the highest one being the OTS whatever the highest priced one is LOL....forgot the name but have fun man.

Alright i'll compair to my numbers i dought they'll be the same but i'll keep an eye out. Yes try the co-pilot thing im sure it will take about 1 whole game day to up it but who knows

What are the current stats for your DF and BA? the numbers displayed? Here is something to try. have a pilot and co-pilot in each ship. This will only give you 4 ships to test with but with both there one can fly the other can target (or atleast i'd imagine) Then go up against some ground targets...lots of em lots.....do this for several hours on end all at once or in increments (Saving as you quit) Then see if there skills increase have 2 attacking and 2 protecting you can try that or for DF get in a fight with a stormcarrier when it looks like your guys ships are about to go kaboom bring them in. fix it up launch again do this as much as possible. I'd also suggest trying to get your pilots AI to 90-100% before doing bombing runs ect. But we'll see won't we.

IS there a money cheat and what is the "god" mode cheat? i would also like to run some test with the money cheat (if it exist) i can get a crap load of ATS missles and use them with invinc. pilots to see if i can get them to increase. Of course im going to make a new game and run it without auto npc generation.

I like the cloak i just HJ cloaked to the supply station and take it out with main guns then i just get it to 300 hull or 280 and then it will auto fall down to sos levels and as soon as it sends the SOS capture it i did this last night and it seemed to work fairly well gotta turn your guns onto 10% after it falls below 1000hull and shut off your PTA just incase. I did it fairly well and not in a long time at all the station didnt seem to mind eaither since i had my cloak on LOL

I'll help you check it out tonight i'll run some test and more over i do get in alot of long dog fights and i hate it so thats about the time i send out a 2ed or 3rd ship to help dispatch the enemy. But then again you know.....If my DF or BA dosnt go up after awhile we'll see whats up. What level AI do your units have? like 30 or 40 or 50? or what?

You know i found it easy to take out enemy ships with just my PTA a s-fighter got to close one day and all i hear was WAM SMACK BLAST! and all of a sudden he shows up grey on the radar (disabled) so i finished him off with a nice missle just for the hell of it. But if you want to have a good idea of how to "train" your fighters just set them on patrol in area's like earth and pluto set each one to defend the other (escort) so if you set out FC 1 2 and 3 it should be like this FC-1 Orders Patrol FC-2 Orders Escort FC-1 FC-3 Orders Escort FC-2 who is going to escort FC-3 you ask? FC-1 because its in patrol mode =P so thus it will attack any enemy ships or atleast thats my understanding of it if im wrong let me know =) Oh yeah keep in mind after 1 stright hour of flying around your FC's will get to around 25% reactor charge and should be RTB and rotate your fighters.

quote: Another thing I would like (although even I can probably see why this would not be feasable) is the ability to record gameplay to playback later with exterior views that can be adjusted on the fly just as they work in-game. What a great after action MP tool this would be! Oh man, I think I'm gonna go catatonic if I keep dreaming these dreams! go to Freeware / shareware stuff go to there search clikc the freeware only button and do a search for "making demos" or "recording onscreen" something like that there is software that you can run while playing the game that will record everything that is on the screen as a movie sorta like the built in demo recorder for counter-strike and then you can play back =) I'v thought of doing this myself. If i ever get done with my 2d space game when i implement battles between the player and space stations i will have it so the player (if he's uin the right ship with the right firepower) all alone can take out a star station. The only reason the players in UC or BCMG can take out a star station in so little time is because they cloak if you don't fire missles and are cloaked you have a less chance of getting hit by the stations defences i know i used alot of missles and got hit alot by the stations defences.....alot while cloaked so you use PTA fire and the likes no missles if you want to capture the station that is. But if you go in not cloaked your toast so there is some balance its just people would rather not die. besides if you didnt have Fleet C&C how would you ever take down a station by yourself if it was super hard?

Fair enough.

That does seem extreme but i mean when i first started playing BCMG i didnt pick it up off the market table at first i looked at it on several visits it looked like a crappy game with bad graphics but considering the other choices i chose it. Bought it opened it up and played it a bit read the manual to see what i was up against ect. After a couple of hours i had only learned a few things it was slow yes. Then i just dropped it all together came back to it another day (weeks maybe months later) and got back into it. It turned out even though the graphics where not upto par with the games of today (when i bought it) it was still a good game and then i went on to get UC and that was a good game even if the learning curve was longer then i like... But that guy didnt even sound like he gave it a second thought.

Lookin good SC lookin good the lighting looks great too i like the BC MKI shots the belly of it with the lights nice. But anyhow this is totally off-topic and SC will probably yell at me....alot....But i'll ask anyways since my curiousity will uhh....kill me one day. Which new title do you plan on haveing one new anything? new galaxy? system? ship? fighter? race? ANYTHING. Becasue when that day comes ima buy it....Just for the new thing....even if its just a missle....it will justify buying it.

okie

Yep i could see it now it'll be the only caste in the BC universe that will be animated =P (Cartoon looking hehe think abouti t for a few then maybe you'll get it or it could just be another one of my failed jokes)

Yeah i used to play it alot but after awhile only like 5 people ever where online and when people where online it was the same people the game just never took off. Atleast UC has a bigger fan base making it more fun in MP mode.

oh yeah something someone else suggested to me once go to www.webattack.com go to search click the only freeware box and type in the search box VirtualDrives Then you can install whatever you want on a virtual drive that is running whatever you want lol. Should work i think.

You know in winxp there is a option to make games compatible for win95 its a option under the propertys i think if you do it i think it will simulate windows 95 when you start up the game making the game think its running on the required OS but i'v never tested it and its only theory maybe someone in here knows what it does?

quote: Taxes is looting. Where do you think wellfare comes from? FROM MY TAXES. SO, the more wellfare they give out, THE MORE THEY LOOT FROM ME. The government DOES NOT have any money. They DO NOT produce it, they do not create value. All they do is PRINT the paper. The REAL VALUE of the dollar comes from YOU, the individual. You are the one who creates the wealth, you are the one who produces. Each dollar the government prints, delutes the value of the one you have in your hand. What that means is, with each dollar printed, you can buy LESS with the one you have. That's why the government taxes you, because if they just print new money without collecting the ones you have, the INFLATION would go through the roof. Here's an example, if there was no taxes, it would mean that you would walk away with $100,000 dollars at the end of the year (to make math simple). Now the government needs to spend, so they print $30,000 dollars (to replace what they would have otherwise collected from you). The net result is 30,000 that would have been collected from you, PLUS 30,000 printed, that's 60,000 new bills on the market. Instead, they collect 30,000 from you and print print 10,000 of theirs to have the net result of $40,000 for them to spend (which is more than the original 30) with ONLY 10,000 new bills out. See, the inflation is the total ammount was deluted by 10,000 instead of 30,000, AND they got more to spend at the same time. THE COST, That 30,000 they took from you. YOURS, and given NOT for maintenace, infrastructure, military, and only basic government spending, but SPREAD ALL OVER, and given to those that have NOTHING to do with government. Why do you think you are getting taxed THAT MUCH. Because of all the spending that SHOULDN'T BE there at the first place. Wellfare state, social projects, freeways going nowhere, bridges leading to islands with 3 houses on them, pork barell spending, and in the pockets of the politicians. Am I going to complain to them? ROFL, we will see if we there's the need to complain...all has it's proper time. Don't need to its all there buddie im done with this convo PEACE!

Right. I might not like the current administation but you just sound liek a crazy wacked out going to become a guy who shoots up a supermarket kind of person. If you don't like paying taxes go buy a island somewhere and call it non-looters island. PEACE

quote:Really? It's wrong that I don't want to have my money taken away from me and given to someone else? You are going to dictate that if I make "enough" by your standards, I HAVE to help someone? And if I make more each year, the ammount looted from me increases. And me protesting that is wrong? By what RIGHT do you take what is MINE? By your claim of social wellfare? You do realize what private property is? You do realize that whatever you TAKE from someone without their consent is called LOOTING. Now see in ever said you had to give anyone anything maybe you should READ my post again? BTW how is looting any diffrent from taxes? you make more they take more? you see so eaither way your in a lose lose situation. If it isnt welfare it'll be taxes which will be used for nothing short of anything the government see's fit....Are you going to go complain to them?

quote:I agree. How dare he implement a system to protect HIS intellectual work from piracy. The nerve of some people. The first time running the game it pops up a activation page. It give you a hardware code which you then enter on to a website, along with your product key. The website gives you back an activation code you then type in to the activation page, and you're good to go. If you can't handle that little bit of work then you probably shouldn't be playing SC's games. (p.s. Thanks for the link SC. Worked great. ) Before i go out and buy how many activations do you get? unlimited like if i like format my computer will thatr go against a limit of like 2 or 3 activations?

This thread shows everything that is wrong with this country right here. Some people agree some disagree but you know what its those people that don't want to try there hardest to help one person improve there life that is holding everyone back. Instead of talking about "what it is to be poor" go out and help a homeless man don't talk about it. You might have been poor once in your life. You pulled yourself out of it but how are others sopost to pull them selfs out if no one will help them? I mean most people here had some type of financial help or some type of motivation go out and give that type of motivation or even a little financial help to someone who is poor and willing to improve there life. Sometimes its sad what people think they might think they are right but sometimes they couldnt be farther from the truth. This is sad.....THE END......I SAID THE END!

LOL "borrow" one eh? that'd be a nice sight. I hope UCO (BCO whatever) is going to let you use them because as long as the online MMP dosnt cost much a month i might get it. Oh yeah escape pods. What should i do with them tow em to a friendly base? or what?

I was going though the appendix and saw mobile bases are we allowed to buy these anywhere in the game and if so where? I'd love to have one for my ground assaults. When i ask where i mean are they on starbases or starstations ect?
