Guest DustBuster Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 Who's talking about retreating? I wiped that insurgent region in the 3k demo clear in a good 15 minutes with only my battlecruiser (EMD, PTA, and a bit of wild flying, just like a drunk grandma on the highway) quote: Originally posted by Soback I am pretty sure that if a couple of guys would be beating you to death and you had the chance to run away, would you stop and think, "Oh man, if I run away, what will my friends say, No, I better die here, at least I will not be thought of as a coward" I would run away, heal, then pick those guys off one by one, that way the fight is more equal and fair. In real life you'd run away if you had the chance. But sometimes in a game, you might wanna push it just to see how far you can get before it blows. And sometimes then even, you might survive. But then, of course, you'll have to undergo some serious repairs. That ought to keep your puter busy the next few hours. (The point is that now I have to let it be. )But hey! This is a game, not a space emulator. Or is it?------------------ Get that finger out of your ear! You don't know where that finger's been!

Steve Schacher Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 quote:Teamwork is the key to success. If we stand united, we will succeed and defeat our enemies. If you are getting beaten badly, you can try to combine your forces by ordering your BC to ESCORT another friendly capital ship that is attacking your enemy. I've noticed that when I order the BC to ATTACK a hostile, the hostile targets me in return. If instead, you ESCORT a friendly who is attacking the hostile, the friendly might get the brunt of the attack but you still attack the hostile. Also, if the friendly circles away, you will move towards the friendly to regroup. If you are both ATTACKing the hostile, you would be left alone if the friendly moves away.

Soback Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 Got a question, this might not be the place for it, but what the heck, If I join some group in RPG forum, I read about it and it says that you can be pretty much whoever you want, except for the fleet commander(that position is taken) if I want to be a guy who delivers supplies to the frontline ships, like components, food, and other stuff to support them, what do I choose for my character? Like caste, ship and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epsilon 5 Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 You cannot be anyone in fleet. You must prove yourself to be worthy of a promotion. There's a hierarchy in the fleet.You have, mainly, two options:1 - Be a trader, in a transport 2 - Some fleets does have a supply division, or people working on supplies, where you can ride big ships. Orion doesn't... for now. I know that the Insurgency does (Balor fleet), but I wouldn't recommend it.------------------ Commander Epsilon 5 GCV - StalkerIV, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orionfleet.com 'This Far, No Farther!'

You can choose your career, just not your rank. In essence, you CAN be anyone, but your RANK is dictated by your bosses and your performance.

Charles Lindsey Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 [rp]I think I'm insulted. Was that a crack on Balor specifically or the Insurgency in general Epsilon5? Better watch out.[/rp]note rp tags. Soback mentioned supply and RPG. Whether he meant actually joining a fleet or just writing it would be Terran/Galcom/commander/any ship for Galcom or Terran/Insurgent/commander/transport (preferred), or any ship for the Insurgency. Balor will need a few escorts and BC can still haul some cargo. I would welcome anyone interested in that. And all of the above will probably be refined some more when we actually get to multiplay. I can't wait.------------------ Vice Admiral Chavik ICV Phoenix, Sygan Starstation (Sygan) Fleet Leader - Balor FleetOfficial BC3K Tester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soback Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Thanks for your help, and as I understand that RPG will take on a more physical nature once the Battlecruiser Millennium gets released, meaning that different races and castes can actually battle it out and fight for territory.

Epsilon 5 Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Oh, sorry about the rp tags, I still have to learn.[rp] ...in know the Insurgency does have Balor fleet, but I wouldn't recommend it.
