Will I need a broad-band connection to (multi-)play, or can I just get away with my modem?

If they are going to shoot or launch fighters, they'll decloak at least momentarily. That's your chance to know where they are. Of course, then it may be too late

Removing your ability to stop the time will be necessary in multiplayer for obvious reasons.

It might save you some embarrasment in the future Heh, have I ever taken a Physics class, this guy is funny [ 12-04-2001: Message edited by: Hector Socas Navarro ]

Nope. With Newtonian Physics you could go as fast as 500% of the light speed and even more if you wish

Once you get its integrity low enough, exit your ship in first person and shoot with your riffle until you capture it LOL!

My vote is to fix it first, then release the demo.

No, you're gonna have plenty of texture problems with the Radeon. I just traded mine for a GeForce2. I'm sick tired of graphic glitches.

Actrade, let me assure you there's a lot of support for newbies in this forum from the vet commanders. We all were once newbies and like to help out if we can. Don't be afraid to ask your questions. Someone will try to help. Also, keep in mind that the SC doesn't have the time to babysit everyone around here. He already spends a lot of time reading and posting on this forum, I don't think any other developer in the industry comes even close to this level of involvement with the fan base. Pretty much every vet here has had their share of the "RTFM" from time to time, specially the beta testers Just keep asking your questions, don't worry if they may be silly. The worst thing that can happen to you is to get an RTFM. Just don't take it personal and you'll be fine. Enjoy this great game [ 10-14-2001: Message edited by: Hector Socas Navarro ]

Why don't you try the demo and see it for yourself?

Something similar happened to me once with AT&T charging me for my international calls. I have always used MCI and never switched to AT&T. Yet they refused to negotiate any amicable settlement (like charging the calls at my usual MCI rate) so I had to go ahead and dispute the bill. I'm not sure what happened but shortly after that they withdrew the charges.

If you feel that's relevant, just change your handle to something like "Fendi (Male, straight)" or whatever Isn't this thread supposed to be about the new forum registration rules?

Derek made a very good point here. We have to be supportive with all the newbies that will be joining us very soon. If you don't like babysitting newbies, just don't reply and leave that work to the folks who enjoy it (like myself ) quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: ...and I forgot to mention, and am serious about this: Flaming of newbies, no matter how stupid the question, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Anyone violating this, will be IMMEDIATELY banned. I swear it, no questions asked. Heck, if I do it, I'll even ban myself! No seriously, I mean it. If you want to have a text file ready someplace or a clipboard program, have a stock message ready and just post that instead. We CANNOT afford to alienate newbies this time around, now that BCM has a lot more non-hardcore features in place.

Does anyone have experience with the video capture capabilities of the asus v7700 (deluxe)? I just want to know if it allows for real-time mpeg compression. Thanks
