The Borg 'nuff said.

Don't you people know those are highly valuable and coveted CD's??? I still have my CD's, but since the November shuffle, I lost my Quick Keys referrence card. No sweat though, I got BCMG. I have a CD rack also, but my BCM games stay with me on my desk in there own CD rack; either that, or they are on top of my PC. Having a 24" full tower does come in handy at times.

I'm a 10. Oh, and I'd just hang up.

Noted. Take care and get well.

There is always room in this Fleet, welcome back Foss.

Sorry to disappoint you Dude, but you will not be commanding a Super Carrier anytime soon in Orion. Orion Battle Groups are modeled after the US Navy Carrier Groups. One Super Carrier and numerous other support craft consiting of smaller carriers and cruisers. Only Wing Leaders will command Super Carriers. Prove yourself worthy, and someday you will become a Wing Leader.

I have to side with Rob Martin on this. I also think this is a little excessive, only because, he didn't have the thing up and running yet. If he was already making a go of it, then I'd say throw the book at him.

The quick and dirty of it was BC3K only used 3 types of craft, meaning Derek only had to make 3 3D cockpits. When BCM came along, that number jumped astronomically, as each craft type had several classes of crafts. There is no way Derek could have made individual cockpits for each craft and still make his target ship date. Given the fact that those cockpits didn't do anything for the overall game play, they were not implemented.

Congrats Emmett!

We will talk when you get back. Enjoy your trip.

Welcome to the Orion Fleet Dude.

Coming to house hunt by chance? PM me, and I will give you my Cell phone number. It would be great to hook up for some refreshments.

Let me refresh your memories HERE & HERE. To my knowledge he has yet to be reinstated to Commander until now. Are we clear?

Epsilon5, you are hereby promoted once again to the rank of Commander. Please don't abuse it anymore, this is the last time we are going to go through this. Understood??? Good, now suit up and wait for additional orders.

With your recent promotion Nova, I've created a Battle Group Discussion area back at the Orion Forums for you to use. Again, Congrats on the Promotion. Supremacy Forum

Locked, Loaded, and ready to depart Space Dock, just say the word. Cmdr Nova, congrats on the promotion, it is well deserved.

It is about time that these big companies figure out that we, the consumer, provide their paychecks. They need us a lot more then we will ever need them. I am a bit muffed though that the real pirates are giving us legitimate users a black eye within the software industry in general. On a related note, TaxCut worked so well this year, I don't know if I'd be willing to give Intuit another chance. If I do, I will be playing by ear again next year before I make my purchase.

I would like to know why Nvidia feels the need to take up 2 card slots, when ATI still only takes just 1? Atleast with the dustbuster they justified the second slot, but this card seems pointless to take up an additional slot with no real benefit, and suggests to me as sloppy engineering. If the card requires 2 slots, then I'd rather have a system like the dustbuster where it is moving the heat to the outside of the case. Couldn't somebody devise a cooler that would have moved the heat outside, and be just as quiet doing it??? I actually use a slot cooler just under my Vidcard to take the additional heat of the box. If I got this card, that slot cooler would have to go. I would not have minded ditching the slot cooler for the dustbuster design if it was just as quiet, but I would not be willing to do the same without the benefit of taking the heat out of the box.

I won't touch that keyboard with a 25' pole!!!!

Welcome to the community.

I have no knowledge of the Fleet DB, but I can comment on the Orion Fleet Email addys. I've been in Contact with Blades, and as soon as the email server is up and running again, I will be recreating our Email accounts. The time table for the email server is still not determined as of yet. I will keep you guys posted as I am updated myself.

EP5, did you get the correct DX9 part? I don't know if this holds true for DX9, but DX8 had 2 versions; 1 for Win9x, and 1 for WinNT OSs. Either that or your download and/or install went screwy. Did you try to reinstall DX9?
