Baloogan Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Which planets have radine that you can have your drones pick up? Any one know? Or must you buy your radine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Nova Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 I don't know. But I've gotten tons of (shield fuel, forget which one that is) from Centris. Hope that helps.I think it's random or something, depending on what planet and/or what region of the planet. I don't care. I'm just mining to make a decent buck until Debris Fields come back.

Supreme Cmdr Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Its not random. Read the planet stats in Tradcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soback Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Is it possible to completly mine the planet of minerals or do they regenerate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [PCA]Pheonix Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 if it is, it would probably take you 65 years, in REAL time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadistic Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Does it regen though SC? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soback Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 And if they don't regenerate, could you make a patch so that when you apply it it renews the minerals on the planets? But could you do it before those 65 years are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aramike Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 quote:Originally posted by Sadistic: Does it regen though SC? Just curious.I have a wild hunch that it does. I don't think that, with the planets being so incredibly massive, Derek programmed each deposit individually. My guess is that the percentage of minerals automatically generates itself each time planetfall is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderJohnson Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Hey, when your time is up and you have to retire, will there be an option to start a new game in the same world you retired from? That way all of your hard work capturing enemy starstations and making them your own won't be wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TARWMSRK Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Err... The game is in real time... You start out at age 35 and you retire at 65... That means you can play for 30 years.... 30 YEARS!!! I think by then you wont care for BC:M because you will have fallen for the next bc title a while back and left bcm to collect dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadistic Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 There's not a way to get more shuttles and/or fighter ships is there? Also, if one of your ships is stolen/destroyed how can you get a replacement one, or can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadistic Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Where do you buy em. Maybe I just need to look harder, but I can't find em at Space Stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancharon Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Look in the Spare Parts category... A fighter is listed as "Fighter Asset" and a shuttle as "Shuttle Asset." ... and an OC is an "OC Asset"TTFN[ 11-25-2001: Message edited by: Ancharon ][ 11-25-2001: Message edited by: Gallion ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Nova Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 I'll make a pre-emptive answer to the next question Sadistic (or another newbie reading the thread) is going to ask.To replace the lost asset, you go to the Tactical Computer -> (FC/SC/OC) -> (Asset Number), and it should say something like:(Interceptor/Shuttle/ATV/so on) Destroyed (Replacement/No Replacement) AvailableIf there's a replacement available, there should be a button to click that says Replace Asset or something of hte like.Uh, I'm writing this up by memory, so the above might be a bit incorrect, but if you fill in the blanks and make some educated guesses, you should figure it out.Nova, over and out.

Soback Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 LOL, this is way too funny. I know exactly why people don't read the manual. All the games out on the market are like this, if you played one starcraft type game, you can play red alert, and other build/gather resources/attack type games without even opening up a manual, if you play one RPG game, you can play others without reading the manual. But BCM is actually different, you can tell because people have no idea from other games how to do this or that, just because you can't do any of this stuff in other games.

Soback Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 So reading the manual is such an oddity that instead of cranking it up and getting their answer the easy way, they actually log online, post and then sit and wait for the answer. LOL, I just can't stop laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderJohnson Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 What's even funnier is they actually take the time to register on the website in order to post questions that we tell them the answer is in the manual for. I know I haven't been here long, but at least when I registered I did it cause I wanted to share a War Story and not to ask any of the following:1. How do I use Tacops? 2. Why won't any of my craft launch? I had an intruder warning 15 minutes ago, and now none of my craft will work. 3. Why after a battle are all my screens saying "Malfunction"? 4. Why is it that if I beam into a Terran/Insurgent base, I die? 5. How do I fly a fighter? 6. How do I fly a shuttle? 7. How do I trade? 8. This game sucks! The jumpgate is 200000 away, and I move too slow! 9. How do I use mining drones? 10. How do I use shields?Please, people, continue adding on to this. Or maybe we should start a new thread: "The Stupidest Newbie Questions" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
