Cruis.In

I would just like to see screenshots. Not Look development and test programs.

scroll to the top of this page and you will see your equally hilarious response to my last post on page one. I wonder is CBS just consent to sit down pouring millions into this as they take forever... did star wars take this long? Its an mmog with a long development, they must be forking out a serious budget, dont ya think?

I keep crashing at a point in the game and its related to my computer but I cannot find the problem. Hey to anyone that can provide insight. I think I need a broad base to help me. Other persons have tested my saved game and it works fine for them. But I've tried everything and I cannot ascertain what on my computer is causing the problem. So even though it isn't a problem with UC itself, maybe someone who had a similar problem will have a fix and the only way to know is to post here. In a campagne mission Im on a planet and keep exiting to desktop about 1 minute or more after I load the saved game. Nothing particular happens at the time when I crash, at least not that I can see, and I don't DO anything myself either, it crashes if I just leave it. I've tried turning off NPC guns, ive tried the /x parameter, I've tried dropping my sound acceleration slider at each level, ive disabled the explorer.exe bar and run the game... I believe it has to do with my sound card or drivers, because it is a sound blaster live 24 bit, and the faq says these cards have trouble and the drivers aren't being updated. I shut down all programs running in the background, the virus scanner... is there any settings anyone can suggest I try? thanks in advance

http://startrek.perpetual.com/ships.html There's alot more information now available in another updated faq. For instance, you can play as the klingons. There's also "fringe" factions within the federation, probably to enable PVP, because they say PVP is now IN, outside of the holodeck. Alot more information, read it then come back here and discuss whats new, too much for me too highlight. I like that I'll definitely get a ship I like the more simplified profession trees, engineering, science, tactical. one thing that bugs me about this game is that in today's age where games are mostly developed in the public eye, showing off screenshots, and what not, for how deeply involved they were in the community in the beginning, there equally withdrawn now. also the fact that this game has been in development for two years and we can't even get a screenshot of the month. the fact that they are still filling signifcant positions on the development team up to now... they initially said beta in 2006 and release in 2007. now its limited beta in 2007, 3 years after commencement and hopefully, if all is well a release in 2008.

thanks for that, its a nice story to see.

the problem is sound blaster live. I have this card as well and got a ctd in that same mission. You get random crashes at any point with this sound card. The drivers are no longer updated, so with all the changing DirectX and what not, the video card drivers are keeping up if you have a new card, but someone like me with an ati x800xt has no business with a shoddy live card in the PC.

yes I said jokingly to my wife, he wanted a free ride home. but what a way also won't news networks, pay him to interview him? and won't people line up in there living rooms to watch the interview?

college is more associate degree aint it? 2 year programmes. then again don't americans call "university" college?

I see

what?

to me the Ender books are Ender. ive heard Xenocide doesn't feature him really. So I have not read it.

eventually he died with us pounding him. Weird but cool. I'm getting a problem with the 4th mission to take over the insurgent station in emicron eridani. exits when the mission timer is nearly 21 minutes left. and im not doing anything but idle.

SC, are there invincibility tags on all the cap ships in tod 2 mission 3? None of the cap ships in that mission suffer damage. Neither mine nor the enemy, they have no shields period, but there armour stays at full, so for a good 5 minutes after beating all the fighters in the raider fleet, me and my buddies just kept pounding the Storm Carrier with no effect, and he them with no effect.

I realised from the start of the campaign I could give certain ships orders, but I didn't know why. Now I know thanks. also didn't know about the tacops colour code. I am in the process of re-reading the manual and have just reached the tacops part. but haven't continued. I saw something else as I read a few lines in that I didn't know. SO I book marked to study it later. Priority list. gotcha

I can't remember all of my latest missions, I'll have to note them SO this will be more brief. After destroying the station, I was tasked to patrol the area and make sure no vessels passed through my zone en route to Eori. Galcom would be dispatching repair ships to repair the station, and a small defense fleet. Well I figured this should be easy, just group my CC and my lone fighter #2 who's pilots AI are rising well to defend the jump gate which leads from Tau Ceti to Eori. As an update on my condition from the last mission, most of my critical damage is now repaired. Engines, nuclear reactor, the non essential such as crew and officer quarters and the solar reactor which is non functional and some other moderately damaged stuff can wait. Ive got 10 newbie engineers not 10 scotties. My crew is starting to grow weary... nothing I can do about that till rest time. But hopefully they will stop to eat when there hunger gets in the 500's My shield upgrade and a couple others are installed so I feel more confident about the coming battle. No matter how strong you think your shields are I have realised there strength is in the recharge rate. If a fighter is on your tail firing away forever and nothing hitting you, you had better get out of the way because that stream of bullets will connect at once and overload your shields. They need space to recharge. In the coming moments some enemy fighters jump in and start attacking the convoy who has repaired the station to a certain degree, its now marked ter/mil but it is still marked as disabled. It is no help to me. But I am not to let it be destroyed. The tranports with their 5 turrets hold off the one or two fighters together until my CC gets there to assist. I then jump back to the Eori gate and wait some more. Some more fighters pop in from elsewhere and my ever eager fighter #2 engages them all over the map. Then 3 cap ships jump in through Eori, all of them targetting me. My shields start to disappear fast, I am determined to keep them here and inflict as much damage on them as I can. In the mayhem I forget to FATAL them... oh well, I have many vagrants stockpiled.... and boy are they useful. My fighter jumps back to help me and he starts to take a pummeling, but as I am about to order him to disengage... ( I care for those guys now) the rest might be dead but at least I am trying to keep these ones alive. But not at the expense of victory. ... I realise that they've hammered one of the cap ships to near death, so in the mayhem of red and fire coming from all directions of there PTA death I turn main guns on that ship, try to steady and finish him off. Then I order fighter # 2 out of the hot area. Now it seems I am toast I can't escape there PTA no matter how much I twist and dodge, I could turn on cloak but I think I was pretty iradiated from a previous use to escape the deadly blows of some Defenders. Just then a Questar warps in through Eori, and I say WOOHOO, he starts to take the heat off of me to him... and my shields can handle what is being trained on me. His PTA starts to dish damage to the enemy like knife through butter, but he's being hurt too, his pTA isn't carving them up fast enough to disable them from keeping up there fire on him. I watch as he takes hull damage but keeps firing away... one enemy carrier jumps away and then the Questar either from damage taken on he figures his job done, joins the small fleet patrolling through the sector, who DIDN"T help me. Then the remaining cap ship is battling with me again, and out of no where again comes another Questar through the gate and finishes off the cap ship. I wish had them as escorts. I escape unscathed in this engagement, thanks greatly to my new shields and the un expected help of some support cruisers. Now I've just got to buy 3 fighters or so and I'm good, ive got the pilots cloned and waiting. Id hate to lose my other pilots they are near the 30's in AI. In the mean time I have my shuttles collecting disabled fighters, I tried exiting my CC and assuming control of fighter#1 which is being towed around by shuttle #1 which in turn is being towed by shuttle#2... but it won't let me enter, im in range the die is on and the target selected. SO I return to my CC. then I have my shuttles collect all the disabled fighters floating around and set them to land on the planet Arima, so I can tractor them all from one place with my CC for later, but they fall or just explode or something soon after letting go with the tractor. Im frightened to try it with fighter#1, land him on the planet and hop in from the planet. Guess only my fighter pilots can control the fighter... maybe I should beam him outside the ship and let him do a walk. if i could get the fighter safely on the ground. Plan now is to repair what is left to be repaired, get my fighters back operational with there fighter pilots. I don't think the coming missions are gonna get easier... they've only got harder.

having just read the book for the first time, I was absolutely blown away. I like star trek and star wars but this stuff is just different and great. I was blown away at the ending. I see its 2 years later now and this movie is slated for 2008 according to IMDB with Wolfgand still attached. I wonder how they will do the battle room...

why pop miners? in other games there are RoC, or rules of conduct, just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean you should. If your purpose is to play just to frustrate others then why play? I understand our stance on no sissified rules of engagement when it comes to PVP, but that is just plain different that partaking in something to simply frustrate someone else.

click on tradecom. what race/caste are you? its in the drop down list on the top right corner when you dock. to rearm you have to buy missles. If you have fired them. To re fuel you have to buy RADINE, for your engines. Plutonium for shields. Its in alphebetical order. Radine is found under minerals when you go to tradecom. So is plutonium.

thanks for this. I never knew of it.

anyone for a cruiser duel? or multiplayer coop scenario? My last time venturing into multiplayer was frame rate hell, didn't have the hardware. [ 09-03-2006, 08:39 PM: Message edited by: ShoHashi ]
