Welcome aboard. This has been discussed almost ad nauseum at this stage use the boards (very good) search feature and you will find what you seek. If you haven't already, read the FAQ and you may also want to check out the Archives especially this and this. Simple rules fair and clear. Obey and you will thrive. Ignore at your peril

Ok I see Tyrn got to test this before me so I will leave it in his capable hands, damn I hate the fact that my PC access is so restricted at the moment. I'll keep an eye here though - anybody needs any more help and I'll do what I can.

He's definatly brought a bit of humour to the war effort alright - or is he just thick?

"Message from the Invader Sir, They are low on fuel and are going to dock with Wraith HQ for some." "Very good!" Smyth replied as he thoughtfully rubbed the well groomed beared on his face,"Its a bit to quiet out there don't you think LT Talla?" "I agree sir" The firey headed woman returned from beside him. "Sir the Invader reports they have a Gammulan spy on board, marines are being sent now to apprehend her." the comms officer snapped. "I knew something was wrong," Smyth replied a wiry smile graced his countenance."Advise the Invader it may not be a good idea to dock until the traitor is captured better to keep her confined on the Invader than potentially give her roam of the full station." James turned in his seat to his tactical officer. "Get our fighters airbourne if anything leaves the invader without permission I want it stopped and get a shuttle or two out three just in case we need anything towed back." "Aye Sir" the tactical officer replied. Within moments the Andromeda's fighters were space bourne again and two shuttles escorted the Invader as she continued to Wraith HQ.

Happy birthday SC(its actually the 5th over here now but I know it still yesterday over there.) All the best and may you have many more.

I'll check it to be sure tonight but I am almost 100% sure that this was fixed a few patches ago. How did you patch? Personally I go with the -FRESH INSTALL OF BCM - FULL PATCH OF LATEST PATCH- route for least problems.

Ok before I run off to test confirm this(especially as I think this problem has been resolved) I will ask the question SC usually posses first - Did you patch the game correctly? Make sure you run the patch from your BCM install directory. I am pretty sure this has been fixed but I have not done drone deployments/collections since I upgraded to 1.08.36(been having to much fun shooting stuff down and base assaults)

What version of BCM are you using?

OOC: Can I join? IC: Commander James Smyth entered the bar, his cap held proudly under his right arm. He paused for moment to glance casually around the bar before stepping in. Deciding to for go a booth he perched himself on a stool at the bar and ordered a drink from the bar man. Sipping his drink slowly he stared blankly at the mirror on the rear of the bar. Strange he thought how old he was starting to look and yet he was still only in his early thirties. He had noticed his appearance degrading since he had taken command of the Andromeda. He had spent a long time in space on that ship, thinking about it he could not remember the last time he took shore leave, forcing himself to concentrate he eventually was able to work out his last leave date and was shocked to work out that it was almost two years ago. With the Andromeda Docked at Orion HQ for a resupply his 2nd in command had convinced him that he take a walk around the station and get off the ship for a while, he was now starting to wonder if he should make it an extended leave and go see the dust fields on Mars, something he had always wanted to do. The Andromeda had just returned from a long patrol along the Gammulan border and most of the crew had requested shore leave once the patrol was complete, as such Smyth had organised a 2 week stop over and R&R time for the crew but was starting to wonder should he take advantage of the time himself also, Commander Talla had already offered to take the Andromeda, with a skeleton crew back to Wraith HQ around Lyrius if he wanted to take a break with the crew, indeed some of the crew had already left the ship, the ships medical officer had boarded a shuttle this morning bound for Earth. Geraldine had decided to visit her parents as she had not seen them in some time. "So very tired!" James commented to nobody in particular as he took another sip from his glass.

GCV-Andromeda High planetary orbit The Andromeda sat in a high orbit while the Invader dropped to the planet to pick up survivors. James watched on his TACOPS display as the Invader recovered the survivors of the Lusitania and destroyed what remained of her broken hull. Out side her fighters carefully patroled watching any sign of a space bourne threat. Presently Commander Jason reported they were exiting the planet and heading for Galcom space. "Very well" Commented James as he watched the Invader leaving station holding in the planets atmosphere,"Lt Talla the invader is breaking for orbit and heading for Galcom put us just ahead of her I want anything to have to go through us to get to her!" "Yes sir" LT Talla reported and immediatly started to bark commands across the Andromeda bridge which the crew quickly responded to. Smyth watched as the massive frame of the Andromeda assumed a blocker position in front of the Invader and started to escort her to Galcom HQ

Kids, Kids we're surrounded by kids. [rp] Ok who let the kindergarden in to the flight hangers? But all the same

Happy Birthday guys and all the best. God I almost feel spritely now. And to think I was getting down at only being 2 years from 30.

Not exactly 100% sure what you mean but if you mean zooming in on the TACOPS map then you can use the fine zoom buttons to fine tune your zoom level(I don't have the manual in front of me but I think its HOME/END I am probably wrong but check the manual it is there - or your keyboard appendix/sheet)

Having not played any other MMORPG's I don't know how SWG will rate against others out there. I suppose I should try one or two others but I have made some friends on the SWG boards and we are all going to meet up online after release. Combat to me is not the be all end all, I'm just looking forward to RP'ing Star Wars.

quote:1. After launching a probe, I click on the Tac Ops comuter as per P22 of the manual to "Select Probe Region" option. I can't find the option. (?)Click on the probe icon on the right hand side of the Tacops display and you will see the option you seek! quote:3. In the CVD Systems Status Relay (SSR), the ship's systems appear in a faded red colour. P26 states that sytems in red are destroyed and inoperable. Mine are all 100% okay. Why the red? CVD shows damaged ships systems as a bright red when damaged and the default display(no damage) is a darker or dull red - trust me when you have damage you will see the difference

Sorry SC should have explained better. The problem happens with any resolution above 1024x768 I have tested the following and got the same problem with each. 1280x768 1280x1024 1600x1200 It may just be my video card can't handly higher than 1024x768 but other games run ok at up to 1600x1200.

I noticed this problem this morning and just wanted to know if anyone else is seeing the same thing. First the techie bits BCM - 1.08.36(full update from fresh install) Operating system Windows XP Home (SP1) Direct X version 9 Problem description: I run Battlecruiser normally at a resolution of 1024 x 768 32 bit color mode and it works fine. The problem is if I turn the resolution any higher say 1280 x 768 then I start to see problems on the logistics screen and the Tactical computer. Basically the Crew roster in Tactical starts to 'break up' and the sliding menus in logistics disappear - they are still selectable the just vanish from the screen. I am fairly sure that my PC should be able to handle the higher resolution, and I do have screenshots of the problem (as my description is probably rubbish anyway) but has anybody else seen this?

I agree off the three you suggest the Geforce 256 will give you best performance change. But if you can try and stretch to a decent GF4 or at least a GF3 card

I'd like to volunteer to help I have HTML and Flash expierence(not much of a creative flare though) and would like to help out in any way I can

Welcome back Tyrn and great to hear about your son. no matter what rank TAC gives you I'll still salute you in the corridors of Wraith HQ.

RANDOM does not destroy a planet just destroys everything on the surface. As it does not "blow up" a planet per say having a sequence where the planet is blown to bits would be (BC wise) unrealistic.
