as for if the hacking is possible. the appendix doesn't "actually" state this. but it hints at it. they go around hacking things...its there "routine"

I have one problem playing with the Heavy Cruiser class. specifically questar. but all HC's heavy 5 marines I think. When I'm boarded...its HELL to get rid of the intruders. With only 5 stupid marines and an even dumber CO... The intruders usually find themselves in a shuttle with no where to go. So I send the marines to the shuttle...and they get cat spraggled. Dead. sure they get one or two intruders. So I find myself moving the marines back and forth to medibay but sometimes they don't get out the shuttlecraft alive. A recent encounter just finished with 5 intruders left all 5 of my marines dead...and 2 intruders killed and 3 prisoners. I find that by docking the intruders are gone. I don't know if they get killed or if they get loosed on the station or escape or something... but at least there gone. hopefully they enter the station...stations problem now but that T.A missing when you docked. I'll have to double check my cargo and make sure they didn't steal anything and In fact get away. im thinking about next time im boarded...a local term "bore-ing" the intruders with all my personnel...Engineers...officers...whoever has a gun!

time to own up. what silly things have you done or were responsible for causing. here's one I can think of readily. Having just recently got BCM and starting a new game. Commander terran/galcom. Like everyone I trade for the money to upgrade. Instead of using my BC, I put my AE in my a shuttle, dock him with the station get what I need etc....and fly the shuttle to its destinated. This saves on having to buy radine early on. Because using 400 radine by the time u get to your destination and back in the BC ain't so cost effective early on. I even sold most my CC's radine for more money to trade with. Was doing this for quite a while. When I decide time to dock with the CC for a checkup, I can't dock. And I can't access any Tactical or anything because my AE is in the shuttle...So I park the shuttle near the CC. Exit the shuttle and enter the CC (ain't that just so nifty?) My AE is making his way to the bridge, but I am at the bridge view for the BC even though I am not in manual control. And all the systems have Malfunction on them. Logistix Power, nuclear reactor is off line and there is about 16 power coming from the solar reactor and most systems are unpowered. I thought first intruders had done this...then I thought the ship was attacked...but its near GalcomHQ so it was safe. The radine depleted. Everything shutdown including lifesupport. So all my crew were below levels of 25 LF almost dead and their FF was upwards of 60. Good thing the medical bay can hold alot of people!

The officers in charge of the various crew i believe are responsible for doing this. When there tired or their shift ends they go off duty, when they are hungry they eat. what i used to do in bc3k when you only had a bcmk3 and you had 20 SE's FE's..I would put 10 on and 10 off and rotate as neccessary.

you say your commlink went down? maybe a hacker was in the region and hacking your BC.

you can put this one down to the CEO being bored and needing something to do. so he is tinkering with the ships systems to pass the time. Wait till he starts tinkering with the reactor while your fighting a storm carrier

well as you know playmod is unsupported. maybe just not it will start to detonate your battlecruiser

Yeh I get this problem too. While monitoring its progress, by leaving the mouse cursor over the shuttle number icon that is deployed...it's not that it won't RTB, it's that it seems not to be able to achieve orbit at all. The altitude goes up a couple thousand then down a couple thousand...the rise in altitude each time is greater than the decline so eventually it reaches 30000 nearing 35000, but it doesn't leave planet procedures even though it reaches the required altitude.

I've tried this with 1.0.07 and 1.0.08RC16 1) Start a new Commander Career. 2) Load a shuttle with a flight engineer. 3) Launch said shuttle when its ready. 4) Order it to Fly to any planet. The Moon for simplicity. 5) Go to tacops and just wait, do not focus on SC1, just go near it with the camara and eventually it will enter the planet. 6) Click the planet to observe the planet. 7) SC1 can't be seen on the tacops view of the planet. 8) Go to priority list still in tacops and click Add>support unit> SC1 9) Then click ZOOM TO>Priority LIst>SC1 10) When you click it freezes or CTD's 11) I've reproduced this every time. I thought it was just an issue with my CPU. but after trying all sorts of settings with the faq to see if it was any different the same thing happened still.

first class.

I haven't actually tried this yet. but when I can...this is what I'll do. (sounds fun anyway) set my CC down in the middle of the landing zone and proceed from there. Land right on the barracks or the launch pad. Then deploy my marines right off! Imagine them coming down the ramp firing! Imagine your a marine at a base and my CC comes right down on yer head!

i remember the nOOb days. my first problem was finding the game.

i remember reading these replies a while back. just came across them again. so its really true that theres a cult of people monitoring the internet for everytime the word battlecruiser comes up so they can go trash it whereever it comes up? these same sort of replies seem to be seen everywhere battlecruiser is mentioned. i would hate to cut off one of these guys on the street. probably plant dynamite all around my house. ah, found it. i knew id been there! i found them amusing at that time and doubly so now. %75 percent my ass.

theres always the newbie forum for more newbie help and topics.

oops posted in the wrong roll call. ok roll call has ceased now. time to go on duty. hit the road gentlemen!

i cant say still here. i have to say back here. you know how things go. never even was able to buy bcm. shipping costs more than the game. wheres that old fish shohashi...

mike, we registered here around the same time. ive had my break to sort things out. good will hunting

i have realone player the free one. i actually like the browser with it.

you could read a book. lots of books. or get more involved in work. your work is your life. for some people anyway.

what do you mean you didnt have a chance to get used to the new system? you meant the old? have to ask. makes no sense.

i always found that I was one to save and reload when something bad happened. if a ship decloaked and pounded me and i got some damage...reload. but i realised its just more fun to play like normal...thats why i prefer games with a save point...so you cant save every second. it forces me to play by the rules! rules = you have only one life!
