Supreme Cmdr Report post Posted May 22, 2002 The original plans to release add-ons for BCM, have been changed. Due to the sheer amount of work that has gone into the BCM engines since it was released back in November 2001, and also because the EB exclusive made it difficult for other retailers (they're pissed) to stock the product, XP1 is now a full product. The fourth title in the Battlecruiser series, called Battlecruiser Generations The real-world units created and designed for XP2 will be used on the pre-nuclear BCO server which, unlike other servers, doesn't support sci-fi units. Since you will be able to have up to five characters per account (in BCO), you will be able to play with real-world or sci-fi units depending on which server you are on. No, there won't be any cross-overs. So, no flying an S-Fighter from Sygan to Earth and blowing up a wing of F14 Tomcats. Official announcements coming soon [ 05-28-2002, 15:21: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soback Report post Posted May 22, 2002 Cool, who cares if it's an add on or another game. As long as it's out and we can play it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CommanderJohnson Report post Posted May 22, 2002 So the SC is milking us for even MORE money by making it stand alone? Great, he deserves it since all the BC games **ROCK**! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you had waited for the official annoucement (just like I said in the first post), you'd then know that existing BCM owners will be able to purchase BCG at reduced price. Naturally, POP required. Wait for the official announcement and quit making assumptions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supreme Cmdr Report post Posted May 24, 2002 quote:Originally posted by xierxior: Will BCG contain the same feature set as the origional one planned for xp-1?Yes. There are no plans to change the feature set. Its just a product name change. Similar to changing BC:3020AD to BCM (if you recall). Sure, a couple of items may get revised, dropped, added etc but the notion is not that a name change means a product change. Its just a name and focus change.
