But trust me, there are a few crazies out there who are probably going to be running around on servers as traders. I think the key word there is running.

Now that is just aggravating, VERY aggravating!! Let's just have the lot of them drawn and quartered eh? I'm thrilled to see a rush of fresh meat . . . I mean, new blood joining the BC community.

If you are unsure how to do it...run a search or ask one of us. Everything needs to be looking ship-shape for when the FLEET gets under way.... Thanks for beating me to the punch Some time ago (in a galaxy far, far away....opps ), the SC established standards for signatures so it would be easy to identify each other. See this thread (if anyone can find the original thread by the SC, I would appreciate a link). Basically, sigs should be based on this template Rank - Cmdr Name Ship Name (if any), Primary Launch Base location (if any) Duty designation (if any) - Fleet/Div Fleet or Wing Motto Medal Abbrev (if any) Webpage URL (if any) See below for a half-way decent example.

At first blush, I was quite impressed but on further review I'm back at the table (see posts above) with my Cyborg 3D. Now, in comparison to other mouse interfaces that I've used (very limited exposure) BCMG's mouse control is, as the rave reviews from the others here show, absolutely astounding. I just feel that mouse control, no matter how good, can't replace a good stick. I guess, I'm just a die-hard stick man.

Update your drivers for your video card (Gforce 4 MX 440). Your current driver is 4.1.0.9 and 4.3.4.5 is the most current. I've found that current video drivers solve most random crashed like you're describing. Plus I'm running that driver on my card and it's running smooth as can be.

See sections 5.3 (pages 50-52) and section 11.1 (pg 90) of the manual for detailed directions (page numbers are for the BCMG manual, the BCM manual should use the same section numbers).

As you may be aware, Commander Fermin has expressed interest in joining Wraith Fleet. Although he hasn't been assigned to a wing yet, I'd like you all to welcome Cmdr. Fermin to the Fleet.

quote:Originally posted by Fermin: Keep in mind that if any one of the two hard drives fail, you will lose ALL of your data. You can prevent this by using a RAID 5 Array, where you add a third drive for redundancy, but most motherboards don't support RAID 5 so you must get an additional card to do that. Of course, the drawback to RAID 5 (which we use on our primary data server) is that disk writes take up to 3 times longer than other types of disk writes RAID or otherwise. Longer disk writes would negate the reason for using RAID in a gaming environment.

When I came back I did not expect to step back in and take up where I left off as SOG Wing Leader and Fleet XO. On the 25thTac told me that the XO position was still mine if I wanted it. I had asked that he make that decision public to avoid any controversy but obviously nothing's been said since then. A number of things have prompted me to, reluctantly, bring this to light on my own: A request to join Wraith Fleet The up-coming need for MP coordniation on a fleet level The desire to see a bit more activity here dealing with Wraith Fleet That being said, let's get this show on the road as it were.

So, which of you has it already? We need to start putting our heads together on getting together once the MP servers are online. I'm looking at putting up a server for evening/weekend use but there are some logistics to be worked out on my end first.

Also, if you have an approved image but nowhere to host is, send it my way and I'll host it.

quote:Originally posted by Stormshadow: Tyrn, Would it be possible for me to get the url for that Wraith SOG Holo-Insignia? Also, I don't know if you and Tac have gotten as far as doing Asset assignments but if I had any say in the matter ( which I probably don't ) I would still go with a Megaron. Silly me, forgot to put any of that info online. Megaron it is.

Reading the manual tonight to hopefully start mastering the controlls over the weekend. Welcome to our nightmare.

Marvelous, stunning and a host of other such things.

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: *would you believe that I put in a new system in the game WITHOUT an acronym?!?! See page 68-69 of the new manual to see what I'm talking about (thats where mouse flight controls are). Just wait until I get around to doing the BCG manual. I'm gonna get even. Grabs manual, checks pages listed, goes into shock MEDIC!

I personally like BattleCom which is what MS bought to create Game Voice.

Finally, local Babbagges kept saying "It's on the next shippment, for sure." I tired of it and used overnight shipment from Gamestop, just finished installing.

quote:Originally posted by cpaek: ok, thanks guys. You're welcome. As the description of this forum says quote:This forum is for newbies who are new to the game. You have an extensive manual and appendix, as well as a bunch of BC vets. Don't misuse them by being complacent because you'll get burned to a fine crisp.We will take good care of you if you have a game issue you can't solve but only if you've actually made a real effort to research the problem yourself first.

Indeed, greetings and welcome. While Emmett pointed you in the right direction by having you read about requiring profiles in signatures. Another must read is the welcome message from Derek Smart.

quote:Originally posted by SR-71: I'm happy and I'm sad. Happy because you verified the problem and it will be solved (won't be...?), and I'm sad because somebody said 1.08Final would be the last patch... I think must not be Anyway, remember NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN Greetings First, read this post from the SC and notice item #2. Second, as to whether the problem will be fixed or not, should not be a question. Once a bug can be confirmed, it will be fixed. Of course, it takes a bit more than just saying "I've found a bug" for it to be confirmed. In short, detailed instructions are needed so Derek can exactly reproduce the bug; because, as any developer will admit, if he can't reproduce the bug he probably can't fix the bug.

I've verified this problem and moved it into Area 51 under the BCM 1.08.36 Released thread. NOTE: The thread linked above is available only to those with access to Area 51.
