what ship were you playing as?

I wonder what a Gammulan female looks like... ?

mean for yourself personally? or as part of the fleet.

Bunny...try trading.... mining? http://www.3000ad.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?u...ic;f=3;t=000082

cloak? cant cloak in a cruiser...

Playing as Galcom. More things to do single player. Like kill Gammulans. In this scenario...if I'm going to remain Insurgent for multiplayer...wanted to test my main bases defenses. Suffice to say they is proper defenses. I gathered up a fleet of the newest best and brightest. I would say roughly 20 ships, consisting of Megarons, Nightstars, Mk2, Mk1, Mk3, Sunflash. From GalcomHQ and Wraith and Genesis. About 10 fighters, plus more from the carriers included. The modest fleet moves out Led by the GCV-Victory(Questar) The Fleet presses onto Sygan Starstation. The fleet has arrived at Sygan and is preparing to engage the enemy. Small enemy resistance jumps out to meet the Fleet at the entrance to Bernards Star in a delaying action to give Sygan time to prep for combat. Mortal combat. Seen here is a shuttle coming to tow something disabled around there. The HyperJump to Sygan starsation. Enemy has been engaged... it's a mess in there sir. The Galcom Fleet is sustaining heavy casualties and damage...those damn all powerful bright laser beams emitting from the Starstation might have something to do with it. Ah a deceptive shot. A battle still rages all around. I guess the shot froze it at a time when the lasers died down. But it was a fury! A Galcom Battlecruiser sweeping in to get a closer peep at the lightshow. I said to myself...20 ships. One station. Forgetting to factor in the stations defense ships...capital ships and fighters. A station by itself maybe would have been a bit easier...but not with all this fighter support The Battle is won...but at what cost...the entire Galcom FLeet has been destroyed and or disabled...the lone intact survivor being the flagship of the fleet the GCV Victory. With about 30 fighters or so hot in pursuit. You can see some of the lasers coming after the ship. And with that the Victory makes good her escape...Sygan lies destroyed...an entire Galcom fleet crippled...any survivors were towed by what shuttles could make it out. What did we learn from this expedition? we needed more ships Scotty! I latched onto a disabled fighter and towed him out. Maybe Galcom will overlook the 15 destroyed ships for that good deed... edit: brinkster is not allowing them to be viewed from another site. You can copy paste them to another browser to see them...or hang tight while I put them somewhere that will. Apparantly none of the free sites do. So you can copy shortcut to new browser and they will load. [ 08-20-2002, 11:09 PM: Message edited by: Cruis.In ]

dredd, spoken like a true Gammulan. can't wait to fry you in multiplayer.

maybe everything there is to discover about 10 hasn't been as yet. And the probe was just a part of it?

i found something for you check out Viper....in helping make your descision. http://www.digit-life.com/articles/matroxp...a512/index.html interesting read. I dont know much about this stuff nor do I pretend too...I understand certain things and not certain others. Im a man i tend when I see my frame rates dropping...i get a new card I need one now I know....but is now the right time? Im thinking earlier next year...will the price on the next gen cards dropped a bit by then? hope so...the Matrox card sounds cool....they all sound cool...but I'll wait for further results as I have time...and dont need something immediately.

I see on the map that S10 is the flux leading "from" Obsidia...which might mean S for Stargazer...or Supernova. Whatever it is it leads to Stargazer planet.

Hi Dane welcome, check the Forum Archives...to the bottom of the forum list. Like the Questar and the BC MK2 for myself...

actually to be honest. (looks around) I am a miser. So I never let my current finances drop below 100 mil... Took me about half a day of game time to start raking in the dough. First selling iridium...then my good ol friend "bugnor" once I had enough money. Wraith still is %30 inflation. quote:You still have to come up with the 45mil seeding moneyoh but its so worth it...when you see countless surface zones from orbit just go BOOM and flatten....armeggedon for those on the surface... just firing away one OTS after the other....oh is it disturbing.

Well...I had something relevant to this to post So I searched for stuff on it. Fleet C&C 101 by cruis. If you have lots of money...(minimum 45mil) then buy 15 OTS Tanix. Then pick a planet and caste of people you don't like and make it a bad day. If you galcom...nuke INsurgent zones on Earth...if your INsurgent Vice versa... Every missle hit is 5000 exp...15 missle hits=75000...equal passed strategic commander... viola 15 minutes and enough money....and no playmod. [ 08-19-2002, 06:34 PM: Message edited by: Cruis.In ]

other than saving before exploring one...i wouldn't know what to try. Except the ones I know are stable...fx14...fx15...fx6. If im around earth side...i got to sygan and jump through f06 if i wanna get to majoris.

well the hyperjump times may be annoying at times for battlecruisers(class Heavy carriers and up) but neccessary. Plus they (BC's) can get those nifty Navigation artifacts.

told you the Insurgents would help you. I ordered them

quote:The shuttle can deploy assets while still airborne. This causes a problem where a mining drone can still collect minerals if deployed from an airborne shuttle. This problem is only happening due to relaxed rules which do not require the shuttle to actually *land* first. Once the deploy/evac issue described below is resolved, this problem will disappear. from the version control file. i believe that is the issue. but ive been known to be wrong from time to time

I should but I have a good excuse. I read about Nullspace before I got bc3k. In my bc3k games...I never once entered a flux-field. After hearing of all the black hole encounters. Now the only other part to this is to explore and find all relating matters to this probe. Or other similar unknowns.

im with you on the snakes. i absolutely hate snakes. bring frogs anyday.

thanks for that information there SC. Soback when you initially said they were Nullspace..I was "huh" to myself. But really I couldn't argue because after all I am a newbie to "BCM" so there are 10...supernova 2 is empty...to the naked eye. Supernova has planet Stargazer with also a landing zone marked "gal/exp" the probe at Obsida says..."beware stargazer we are coming." Someone said earlier they destroyed the probe when the message came through because they don't like being threatened. (think it was a gammulan) But I don't believe the probe was refering to you or anything you know of. Just my observations now that I've explored the region. Oh another note...i left my SC1 in the Obsidia region...and the poor shuttle appears not to be able to fly to and exit at the Flux15 field to get back to Altris. I'll have to go back for it with my CC.

I was more refering to: quote:However my hopes are high that within the next few hours ill be back to the invasion with a new armada rather than what he is doing immediately

unless the page was hacked. what strategy? please....

ok. didn't know they were supernova designated. maybe I'll find supernova 3 and it'll have the Galaxian homeworld linked to it

I did a search of the forum for supernova...and I saw no mention of the supernova 2 region. I was exploring the Gammulan quadrant....jumping through flux fields...On my third attempt to pass through the F10 field at Otura-6 I ended up in a region designated Supernova 2. It was totally empty...no planets ships...nothing to scan. It's worth a second check though. If anything is cloaked...well I don't know how to uncloak something cloaked. Next thing will be to travel through all the flux fields multiple times. Different attempts as you know lead different places. Going through it again while in the Spnv 2 region put me in the Syrion quadrant.
