So im cruising thru gammullan space,keeping the local insurgency and the odd gammullan under boot when on my radar screen i notice a green blip.GREEN? since when? im three jumps from the nearest military base(Wraith).My military brethern are rarely seen out this far,so who was this brave soul? i was excited! they didnt send a paltry fighter the but a full blown BATTLECRUISER exactly like mine! now were cooking!Closer inspection,however,revealed a cruel hoax. it was a battlecruiser without its bridge portion(terran/military/bodyshell)it was chilling to see this headless BC monstrosity under SAD orders chasing after a fighter and doing nothing(It apparently had no missiles or blasters).

Has anyone else seen this ghastly sight?

perhaps i'll find the bridge elsewhere.

a feature hitherto not disscussed?(search revealed nothing)

im running the latest patch 2.09(God bless you Derek)and mappak with NO cheats. didnt know exactly where to post this,just curious really.

Now if youll excuse me ,i have an insurgency to squash...

foreshell huh? no,it looked and read as a body shell,

well this is interesting,so what caused that to happen?is that what the evac feature for the battlecruiser looks like? some unfortunate had to bail?

i thought all we had were shuttles.

can it be manually initiated like in star trek? if so ?(which i dont suppose it is)that would be most useful.

well ive got the thing tractored and taking it back to the wraith for further study.

spcfx is correct. That came from another BC that ejected in order to avoid destruction, pretty much the same thing that happens to your ship when you eject. If they don't find a friendly station to go to, then will keep flying around until they find one. It is just coincidental that you happened to see it on your radar screen.

btw, the description on radar would have read bc fore shell. Anyone with access to the GBS, can look on line #200 of OBJECTS.SCR and see the model used during separation.

Well, what we usually do when we want to post pics is upload them to a webpage and post the link to them here. If you haven't got any webspace, there are loads of places to get some for free.

notice body shell after BCBODY.3dc, that's what's going to appear in you CVD.

Also here is something cool, SAc means

Den Dee, you need to convert those to JPG format and then re-upload. This way, they can be viewed in the browser without having to download them. When u are done, simply edit the post and change the file extension.
