LordDavid Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Ok, I have this one object with 2 buttons on it..... As I recall in a picture, it is called a mouse? Funny how it dosen't have any hair or a tail on it. Isn't this a foot pedal though? I put it on the ground and press on it like the gas pedal on my car?

Rip Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 while you are holding the door open for JJ let me make it easier for him. I'll start. I've just finished reading the manual. I have just started a ROAM campaign and am working on figuring out the Drone usage. I've deployed them to various sectors on Earth to mine. I find myself wondering the following:Is there any way to no or have indication if a spot or sector is likely to yield results?What types of Planet/Moons yield what types of minerals?If you get nothing in one spot in a sector is there any point trying somewhere else in the same sector?How long should you allow before looking to see if they've mined anything?I guess that should be enough questions for one nub.

Go to the Tactical computer and somewhere there it shows the percentage of how full the drones are.I *think* it is Tactical computer -> loadout -> shuttles -> drones (but I could be wrong because I don't have the game yet ).[ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: LordDavid ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R_wilco Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 Finaly got it installed! According to UPS, my copy of BCM has been to Houston, TX, Westchester PA, somewhere in North Dakota, and Redmond, WA, before they called and said they made a mistake and I need to come pick it up. While I'm neither stupid nor a newbie, I have some questions. First, the graphic for wormholes does NOT appear. I may have screwed up the install in some way, my CD-ROM is very buggy with installing anything. I'm not sure why.Second, when I play as a Gammulan Commander, can me and my crew at least look a LITTLE Gammulan? They don't, in fact, in ANY non-human scenario, the commander and crew look human. I guess you don't want us to play as anything but human... These are my only problems with the game, otherwise, it's AWESOME, surpassing even what I expected back in the beta days.

cschoch Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 Here is a pretty dumb question...Why can I not deploy my ATV's and troops plantside via a shuttle?! I know I'm doing everything right, the shuttle just doesn't want to comply. I set the first way point as "proceed to next", then the second one I have "deploy vehicle" chosen. I have a marine in the ATV, so I don't think I'm forgetting anything. Now get this, when my AE goes in the shuttle, I have no problem doing it manually...What could I be doing wrong? (Please do not delete this post. Mind the thread title...Clueless newbie questions. I'm not even a newbie. Anyway, thanks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC might do some extra icons for other races, but for now all we have is human. You will look Gammulan in first person mode, try it.[ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: Soback ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Blake Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 hrm...although not a clueless newbie, I'm clueless, as to how you would walk around on the outside of a ship or station, iirc, sc, you said you did that once, and like the CC hyperjumped with you still standing on it...well, everytime I decend onto it, it bounces me way back up above where I tried to "land"still, thanks for the game sc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soback Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 You need to be a space marine to walk on the space ship or station. They have magnetic boots that secure them onto the surface. I haven't tried sticking to a ship like that but why don't you try the space marine career and see how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschoch Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 Anyone else having difficulty deploying ATV's and troops with the shuttles in Tacops? Am I the only one who can not figure this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Blake Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 hmm, you sure?...unless sc changed it, iirc, he was commander, exited in space, forgot to halt the cc and walked around on top while it hyperjumped...plus I did do the space marine IA and I couldn't stick to the station...

Guest $iLk Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 I believe SC said in the BCM XP modules he will be doing graphics for the different races.I just got done playing as a gammulan - sorry guys I took out Orion Starstation...

Make sure the ground you are deploying the ATV's on (from the shuttles) is nice and flat - the shuttles have to land first to deploy the vehicle.

cschoch Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 I wish it was that easy...I've read this manual through and through.

Cmdr Nova Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 Before placing the waypoint, change the waypoint action. Did you do that?Hm... I don't know what you're doing wrong. It works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
