  1. Welcome to the forums. As it has been previously stated, upgrading systems can really help with the fuel situation. If you are out, use a shuttle to fly to a station to buy more.
  2. 1. Old speakers from a dead Packard Bell. 2. SB AWE64 3. yes, but I'm too lazy to upgrade.

(i put 50k armor points because the ship will explode anyway before you hit 0 anyway) well I actually think the odds would be in favor of those attacking you. 1. It would be a logistical nightmare to effectively command the fighters. 2. the lack of turreted weaponry with capital grade stopping power makes it extremely vulnerable. 3. The slow recharge of the main cannons makes them nearly impossible to use effectivly against smaller more maneuverable ships. nearly any small ships could out maneuver and out gun the ship while evading the fighter cloud... after the ship was destroyed, one could easilg jump out of the system cloaked. I didn;t mean to rip the ship apart, just my thouts on it [ 01-17-2002: Message edited by: Eclipse ]
  4. I would suggest getting XP pro. Other than a few minor security breaches that were related to file sharing, and the NVIDIA/VIA/XP bug I've not had any problems.
  5. hmmm... well I think he could have left off the story that took 3/4 of the review space, and played the game more so that he would have more to say. I'd guess he played about 10 minutes.
  6. I think either Jupiter's Moons or Saturn might be safe... I've never really hung around one area long enough.
  7. Well lets see.... I got a watch, some tools, some clothes, a couple games, and a book case... thats about it.
  8. I thought it was very well done. The scenes that were left out were, for the most part, side events. It would have been nice to see them, but oh well. Cave Trolls take ALOT of punishment before they go down, and that balrog was very nice.

  10. I leave with the memories that there was once one zone of sanity and order amidst the chaos. Perchance it will spread...

Have it tow a Stormcarrier, and you'll be there a week trying to leave the region. Drat... So much for dragging those blasted diplomats to their destination...

    Traitor

    Let me preface this. Yes I am quoting portions of the Koran, but I am in no means advocating Islam. I am simply doing this to provide support for my point. Ok, What DO the islamic fundamentalists such as Bin Laden want? Their primary desire is NOT less American intervention. First lets look at what the Koran or Qur'an has to say about unbelievers. " 4.101: And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress, surely the unbelievers are your open enemy." "2.98: Whoever is the enemy of Allah and His angels and His apostles and Jibreel and Meekaeel, so surely Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers. " "48.29: Mohammed is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." Now we know that unbelievers are to Islam enemies, but WHO are the unbelievers. "5.51: Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship will become one of their number. Allah does not guide the wrongdoers." What is to be done to these unbelievers, the enemies of Islam? According to the Koran, this is the correct actions of a believer. "9.73: Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate." "9.29: Fight against such of those to whom the Scriptures were given as believe neither in Allah nor the Last Day, who do not forbid what Allah and His apostle have forbidden and do not embrace the true faith until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued." "2.:190: Kill them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you. Idolatry is worse than carnage. But do not fight them within the precincts of the Holy Mosque unless they attack you there;" No matter what you think, western civilization was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. They are a part of our culture and because of these principles to the Islamics we are unbelievers worthy only of war and death. Islam will not be satisfied with the status quo, it will rest only when it has completely destroyed western culture and replaced it with its own. The only reason it has not been overtly aggressive is that militarily and technalogically, the west is supperior to them and that they would never survive open conflict. That is why they resort to terror.
  13. Keep moving, watch for visual ques in the bridge view, watch where damaged fighters return, HJ somewhere and drop off some leaches. The possibilities are endless. Urza, he is in a cruiser and can't cloak.
  14. Take care Mike, see ya when you get back.

  16. One minor annoyance I've had all the way through the beta is the damage ratio with main cannons, especially those on fighters. Fighters can put out an insane amout of firepower for their size and one can decimate a carrier or crusier in a single pass. It really doesn't seem like a massive and heavily defended station or carrier when a little fighter can shred it in seconds. Was there any reaon why the damage for those cannons are so high or the rate of fire is so high?
  17. Nah we pop into their discussions as well. It provides some nice banter to break the monotony.
  18. Charles. I just picked up Omicron as well. It doesn't like joysticks. If you have one attached, remove it and try again.
  19. quote: And why did planes get into picture. We were talking about tanks vs. mechs War ain't Total Annihilation MP. You don't outlaw certain weapons and have a gentlemans duel. If your opponent can't force you not to use a weapon, then you will use that weapon to your advantage. Case in point. We don't stop bombing Afghanistan and send in infantry because the Taliban doesn't have an effective airforce. We use our aircraft to eliminate them because it is the most ecomonical way of dealing with the threat while putting the fewest American servicemen and American political intrests at risk. However... If, hypothetically, mechs are better than tanks, an intelligent commander won't send in armored divisions to get toasted. He will look for an alternative. In this case aircraft are that alternative; they are an effective means of targeting and destroying the threat. War isn't chess: the playing field doesn't always start equal.
  20. Looks like I'm a little late. Welcome the the Insurgency.
  21. After I upgraded to 1.5GB, I find that MAX dips into the swap file less... at least until I get up to about 1 or 2 mil polys.
  22. Charles, the only messenger I can use ATM is Yahoo. Drop me a message, my name is vaaish.
  23. I believe I still have the files for Rattler's old Insurgent 1 site and a partially complete insurgent uniform 3d model.
