heh, I'm sure we'll run into you in Procyon Rattler.

btw, I won't be posting to the RPG thread until I have uploaded the mission this weekend. My next post will be the actual briefing text, with a link to the mission file. I promise to have it up tomorrow so that we can have a blast this weekend. btw, it requires 2.09 preview.

SC, assuming our ships will be adequately provisioned...will we have more than enough Radiation control units? Man, those things are so useful, but I never have enough ('Cos they're so expensive frown.gif) and I always go around with my crew dieing, which is annoying.

Oh well, doesn't really matter, actually.

Hamblin,

Most likely you'll be leaving Galcom HQ with your BC in it's stock configuration. Anything you desire to take along will need to be aquired through other means. Whatever the case, this is going to be a blast smile.gif

Actually I created a Playmod script that gives some supplies and weaponry. I didn't alter any personnel stats. You won't need to trade for anything and Fleet C&C will be active without Karl having to be on the ship.

Just start the game, quit, run the script. Continue. Once the combat is over, I'll watch the stories as they unfold and pick people at random to send me their saved games. If anyone cheated by using Playmod (other than the commands I jammed in their), we'll know. smile.gif

The new format for BCM allows the craft to launch from any station (specifically for multiplayer reasons) as well as a complimentary script command that allows you to do the same thing via a script. I was tempted to port those lines of code over to v2.09 so that I could have everyone launch from Orion (since thats where we all were) instead of GHQ (the default), but I decided against it. Which is why, if you read my latest entry, you'll see that we should all head back to GHQ for supplies. I could have hard-coded the Orion station as the new default launch platform (one line of code), but I didn't want to do a special 2.09 build just for this RPG hobby. So, I killed that idea in my head, pretty quick.

I'll be arranging to write myself out of Operation Galactic Shield in some appropriate manner. Unfortunately, I don't currently have access to 2.08 or a computer that will run it. :-(

Hope I'm not too late. Took me a while to decide where to be. I was leaning towards Sygan anyway so I hope it doesn't look like I cheated. smile.gif It's as good an excuse as any to be out and about. If it messes the story up I'll remove the post.

Now on to Blades Thread.

Your post is fine Charles. You guys are rumored to be operating in the Procyon region anyway, so, even if you guys ended up there, it would be legal.

However, nobody should post anything related to deployment to the region of conflict, nor any combat engagement until I release the script. Even then, deployment posts would come after I release the script and those who want to post everyday, based on their on-going play of the campaign, can do so. My final post (I will be playing the campaign too btw) will signal the OK for us to start posting about the skirmish. So, make notes as you play and then use those to provide your accounting.

Sc, I have a request.

Due to demands on my time, energy, and sanity, plus the fact that the Diligence is currently a convertible, I won't be able to play in this campaign. However, I thought, since you are writing us in as AI ships anyway, if you couldn't put my new ship, the GCV Calypso, into the script. Just have her in Earth space, doing nothing. That would be very cool.

She's a Solnar class Cruiser, Terran/Scientist.

Paperwork ..... there is always paperwork.

I got a question. You guys see me as a sniveling muppet who's terrified of responsibility and totally overwhelmed with his new duties as a fleet commander?

Ah, I'm talkin about the character BTW. smile.gif

I don't know about anyone else but I see you as a green fleet commander who, in order to avoid being responsible for his fleet, and maybe even the loss of lives that could occur in a real life conflict, passed the duty down to his immediate subordinate while hiding behind the administrative side of his post.

However I reckon that you will soon be wishing that you were out there amongst the action trading IOD fire with the masses of highly trained ememy ships with the sole purpose of killing you, or at least making your life a living hell, instead of sitting with paperwork towering over your head in a cramped, stuffy office.

But hey, what do I know... I'm still a little wet behind the ears myself smile.gif

Bloody hell, you think YOU guys are inexperienced, what about me? I'm VERY, VERY inexperienced in the ways of managing a fleet. I mean, I've handled a few small time Star Wars/Star Trek fleets (And one of those was really hectic, I tell you what. But, that's not really relevent to this topic) in my time, but never something as big, complex and well organised as a BC3K fleet.

When multiplayer comes out, lol, I'm probably gonna get lost in the storm.

AND, Blades, you gave me this Procyon thing to do. So I did what any good fleet Commander would do. I passed it down to MY subordinates, hehe.

But don't take this as a sign that I want to resign! No, no, I love my new job. Plus, I am ambitious for new challenges, and this job certainly looks like a new challenge, hehe.

I am about to make my move to Galcom HQ and is wondering if FC Blades would like to have an escort. I need a prompt response.
