Lockjaw Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Hey Hindot and welcome.You have to be an active member to be in Orion Fleet. So we need to at least hear from you every week. When mp comes out you will need to participate more.Yes we will have Fleet meetings but not on the forums. We hold our meetings in Mirc.To get Mirc go toMircIf you have anymore questions just post them and I will get them answered as soon as possible.[ 05-31-2001: Message edited by: Lockjaw ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrn Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 quote:Originally posted by hindot: I checked out Wraith and ISS websites minus Orion 'cuz its currently unavailable. When multiplayer comes out, how often do I have to participate? Is it a weekly basis, everyday, or what? Will multiplayer meetings be scheduled on the forums? Thanks. Wraith is restructuring (see this thread) specifically with MP in mind. We take into account that there are those who have no other life than gaming and that there are those who can only drop by once in a while and a whole gamut of people in between.

NOW WERE IS THAT BLASTED IDIOT!But, Sir, shouldn't you do something about that Insurgent?Not without that weapons officer we can't. Just see if you can do something until the other officers arive.Aye, sir.30 seconds later, the Galcom vessel breaks up under the withering fire of an Insrugent Cruiser.

Epsilon 5 Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Well, just say what type of gamer you are, and we'll tell you what's best... of course you have the last word on it.ISS: casual gamers, often non-combat stuff Orion: heavy assault fleet, relatively high commitment Prime: Standard medium fleet, do about all and has nothing special. Wraith: special operation, lot of different activities[rp]Insurgency: BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD , but that opinion can be contested... [/rp] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menchise Posted June 1, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Guess who's going to contest it (among other things)? ISS is not a non-combat fleet. It's the first line of defense in Galcom star systems when Prime Fleet is pre-occupied. When they're not busy defending entire systems from attack, they provide tactical support to the other Galcom fleets.Prime Fleet is the biggest of them all. Basically, it's Galcom's main combat fleet. Not as specialized as Orion, but it still handles the majority of combat missions.Wraith Fleet has a charter that describes its objectives. You have probably seen it already.The Insurgency is not bad, bad, bad. Take a look at the Insurgent Code of Ethics (at the Spectre HQ website in the 'Join Spectre' page). If you agree with it, then the Insurgency is for you. If you don't, then Galcom is for you, or maybe one of the independant castes, or even one of the Alien Military castes. There are many possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially one that ahs become semi-official like the First Gammulan Conflict. Besides, what I said was completely accurate - after that RP thread, we realised that we (the players) had no coherent defence strategy. That's what the ISS set out to rectify. Hence, we are not a "non-combat" fleet as some have suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 DeSylva, as I recall, SC once stated that what happens in the role-playing forum will not be reflected or have any affect what goes on with the BC universe. And he further stated that he had hired someone to write the official history/storyline behind BC. quote:However, as the fleets are a) player run and mostly focused around the RP timeline, it's impossile to ignore those events. Especially one that ahs become semi-official like the First Gammulan Conflict.It is totally possible to ignore what goes on in the rping thread (no disrespect) because it's not official history or events. Now if SC was to say that the BC universe will start to reflect what goes on in the rping thread, then I would agree with you. But as it stands he hasn't nor do I think he will.I believe the only way the players will have any real effect on the history of BC is through multi-player games and GCO.So like I said before what goes on in the rping thread should stay in the rping thread. I would hate to look up one day and find out that EarthCOM has been relegated to checking intergalactic parking meters.

And he further stated that he had hired someone to write the official history/storyline behind BC. I agree completely. I suspect we are moving at cross purposes. The point I make is that the fleets (with the exception of EarthCOM and the Insurgency, whose existence is documented in the manual and supported in the game) ARE role-playing. There is no TER/ISS designation in the game, nor is there a TER/WRA or anything else of the sort.As a result, it is impossible to consider the player created fleets - such as ISS, Orion, Wraith, and the new Insurgent fleets - WITHOUT considering the RPm universe, because this is what created them. EarthCOM is, of course, a special case because it was an integral part of the game universe before we players even opened the box. It is totally possible to ignore what goes on in the rping thread (no disrespect) because it's not official history or events.The only concession to the player created fleets the SC has given has been the creation of Fleet HQs in the game for ISS and Wraith. In BC:M he has also rectified EarthCOM's disadvantage by prociding them with a station too, I see. quote:Originally posted by Karl Wolf: I would hate to look up one day and find out that EarthCOM has been relegated to checking intergalactic parking meters. And I, of course, would not let that happen - even in RP...*grin*.-GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxamillian Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 You do understand Commanders that Prime Fleet has the G2 branch that does the special-ops and secutity for GALCOM. The other fleets have their Intel, but they are still under the direction of GALCOM/PRIME FLEET. Chain of command, even in RP is very important to maintain. Karl,being a Commander as lond as you have, you know that the RPs helped creat the fleets. It was the stories that brought BC3000ad to life. It became a living thing not just a game. If you want to be a fleet member, any fleet, then you will have to understand that they exist because of RP. If you do not keep up with the RP's that are working then there isn't any point being a member of anything. I know that MP will be around soon but what better way to get to know your fellow players then to join in a little RP. There are always RP's running and it wouldn't be a bad idea to check them out. You do not have to join the RPs as you know, but they are what keeps the Fleet concept alive... 'MAX'p.s DeSylva, nice to have you back in full glory...

Cmdr Nova Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 I seriously agree with both Tac and Blades.The only way Prime Fleet is higher in command than the others is that SC belongs to it. It really shouldn't, because it's like the president of the United States having the control over all the military. He has the control, but it is equal over all sections of the military.---Here's the best explanation. Fleets are equal. SC, is the commander-in-chief of the military. He controls all fleets, but belongs to Prime Fleet, because it is based at GalCom HQ, which is the location of his office or whatever he uses.---Although I'm not affiliated with either GalCom or the Insurgency, I have read up on older RP's and read most of the history of the BC universe.The Fleets FAQ contains info that may be helpful.[ 06-20-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
