Cruis.In

you guys still playing this game? I always wanted to try it, but I think someone like me would not like the type of combat you guys have been referring too.

gal civ 2 is cool, im glad it's doing well.

well... so you are watching this game... well I think personally this is another waste of plenty development man hours, and every other man hour that may go into making/marketing this game. It is just the same drivel, with better looks and a better single player campagne(hopefully) Because from reading the "famous" dr. ian davis interviews, he keeps reiterating that this games main focus is bringing starship combat to life and making it better than ever blah blah blah... enough of starship combat already, that is just one aspect of a game I want, that needs to be good...... If I want to just "starship combat" I can go replay all four SFC games, bridge commander... or play the mobile game coming out. That being said I'll still buy it, im not being a hippocrite, I think the game will suck, and I want a more in depth (replayable) game... but in hopes of those coming down the line I support this endeavor. I'd like a game like empire at war... or battlecruiser....

currently I am researching large scale building, so i can put some more nifty stuff on my ships. I have lasers 5, missles 4. point defense shields, duranium. im 1st in technology. but i think its time to get more room on my ships. Ive taken over about 4 planets, two belonging to the drengin.. got a fleet to the south and a home fleet. just took over Dak Yor who ive been at war with off and on. there planet became appealing and I have high research in bombardment, i have one more to go for shock troops. need some more ships now though.

and what makes this movie so great? the fact that they show men kissing more than any other movie to date. that's why this stands out, isn't it. [offensive remarks removed]

I didn't like the demo, since I could only play as dwarves. on the other side, i like sw empire at war. but feel it would get old too fast to buy it now. also, id love a star trek game with this idea!

you can define it in the starting part of the game I believe. or just give yourself more money in the starting part. while i dont like to play a research game, in that who can research fastest wins.... because it just varies too much, i still like a bit of researching in there to mix it up. you can even set it to advanced and start with an advanced empire, but since i havent done it yet im not sure if you get planets, or just all the tech, it'd be cool now if you now had to now go out and colonize and build your planets, because the strategy element is still fully there. wont have time to play until thursday, will give an update on my game then!

i have 5 planets. ive got a good bit of weapon technology, lasers 2, stinger 2, enhanced deflectors, medium hulls... this is one thing ive always hated about this games, what to research next. i would like to get to the tech which lets me make any sector on a planet builable, to build up my planets more, but thats takes like 52 weeks. with all my points set to research. ive designed a couple star trek looking ships with my medium hulls. i'd say im about mid game on the huge galaxy im playing. the Dak Yor just declared war on the Arcean's and i'm there ally, so they attacked earth with a troop convoy which I easily one, so I sent about 5 ships to start pulverizing there space. derstroying a couple of inadequate starbases. I really need to get ready for the drengin, they have a big fleet. Guess I'd better just keep up the weapon research and put better weapons on my medium hull ships, because to research all the way to big hull is like 50 weeks off.

the beggining game is slow too. i just kept pushing turn turn turn

well I havent had any yet. all I can say so far is it is to gal civ, what UC is to bc3k v2.x its well polished.

just letting you know, still can't update as of today's date. 8 p.m eastern time.

didn't know it was possible to redesign the interface. btw, why do we have to type in our name then download the file? also, did you modify the interface of the first person view from the bridge? or just the menus?

its cool, I have it. designing ships is cool.

IIRC weren't people comparing this game to Battlecruiser in complexity?

you should, if it came out this year it would be more like halo 2.2

hi, sorry I didn't come back. I was under the impression this thread would get deleted for some reason... hopefully not. I've been married for a year my son was born 3 months ago on thursday this week. And it's is over. I wanted to give a complete stranger, or in this case my fellow bcer's on here my story and see what they thought. The ones who've been through it, and maybe they could share there story with me. If you're willing PM me... if all you divorcee's want to read my story, reply yay or nay, and I will post it public... to get all your thoughts together...and advice. I don't mind putting my personal stuff in lime light, especially when if that's what it takes to have something like a life again.

any divorcee's here? raise your hand..

for DOOM, sucked. And to me Peter Jackson can save Halo, because he can spend his big budget on special effects making everyone forget the fluff of the movie. And I'd much prefer live action, as with live action these days, pretty much anything is possible to create.

if a game is no longer manufactured, and yours is broken, and you have no way of getting it, is it still illegal to give you a copy? even though you can't buy it anymore? my guess is legally wrong. morally right

ok its 2006. ATP:D is no more, but Kobiyashi Maru exits. Get it from bcfiles.com includes things such as firing while cloaked (on relevant ships) Blind firing... shuttles... and a whole big list of cool stuff all in one nice install package. Last night I set up a battle with a Scimitar a sovereign (me) and two Valdore ships, the battle from Nemesis, and to my surprise the little buggard was attacking us cloaked, so I used to blind firing, full phaser spread in all directions, it looked exactly like the battle in the show, and when my phasers found there target, I would use quantum torpedoes, eventually his cloak fell and the warbirds joined in... its awesome!

you people are just bringers of doom and gloom aren't you? not a hopeful glint in thine eye...

I'll try it, since I watched lord of the rings recently again. I love the Gondor soldiers... "men of Gondor, no matter what comes through those gates, you must hold your ground!"

http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~bridgecommande...pic.php?t=20970 has nine pages though. Don't know if you remember ATP: Dimensions, which never got finished, well I think this is something like it, but with a bigger team of people.

why don't they go back to the moon?

You forgot Star Trek Bridge Commander, its unbelievable what they are doing with that!
