Torpedoes?For now, just torpedo-like missiles for naval targets and ICBMs for land targets. Juan Ooopss stupid me thanks Fermin for pointing out my short sightedness. Sorry SC! This way to the airlock right?

With the up and coming release of BCG, which will include player controled submarine units, should/will Wraith be implementing a Marine wing? How would it work? Can I request a transfer?

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: Subs are meant to be stealthy. Giving them PTA turrets is not going to provide that. IF I do add turrets, they won't function if the craft was submerged, since they'd only be mounted on the top. Fact is, if a sub is ever detected, its as good as dead. The voice of reason as always SC. Still looking forward to commanding one - my career as a Starship commander may be over once BCG comes out. EDIT: SC I have to ask are you considering the submarines having missiles like todays cruise missiles, so you can sit off coast and blast a base that is further inland. Perhaps supporting a marine assault or something?

Welcome to the boards Jez the Newbie grabbing is a bit slow nowadays But while it has started all I will say is Join Wraith Fleet

Fractux - thats a bit long winded. However I agree about backing up your files before starting any of this. However. Stick the XP cd in your drive and start your pc - as long as your CD drive is bootable the XP installation will start. - Do not select repair - but select install instead. The XP install will automatically give you the option of formatting the drive in what ever file system you want - however if you want a truly clean install do not select the Quick format option. Thus the quickest and easiest way to format/re-install XP and strangely it does work (Didn't work too well in NT 4)

Picky picky, I think the shots are excellent SC. Haven't looked at the all yet will do so today. Add yourself to the list of people who mostly ignore his posts. The subs are not fully submerged because I needed to take an aerial shot. Too deep and I won't have good shots. Thanks SC I'll take that advice. On the PTA on sub issue, it would be handy for defence (like on a BC). For years since I first played carrier command I have dreamt of a Submarine based version of that game - BCG looks like giving me that chance - SC you do realise you are allowing me realise all my child hood dreams!

Might be fun. We're currently in the middle of a Call of Cutulu(sp?) adventure at the moment which is enjoyable enough but I prefer AD&D

Just to add to the list(and I love D&D) You Are A: Neutral Good Human Ranger Paladin Follower Of Mielikki Alignment: Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'. Race: Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'. Primary Class: Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy. Secondary Class: Paladins are the Holy Warriors. They have been chosen by a God/dess to be their representative on Earth, and must follow the code of that deity, or risk severe penalties. They tend towards being righteous, but not generally to excess. Deity: Mielikki is the Neutral Good goddess of the forest and autumn. She is also known as the Lady of the Forest, and is the Patron of Rangers. Her followers are devoted to nature, and believe in the positive and outreaching elements of it. They use light armor, and a variety of weapons suitable for hunting, which they are quite skilled at. Mielikki's symbol is a unicorn head.

How about a toga party instead? Everybody grab your favorite beer mug and I'll meet you all at SC pad. Oh and someone grab some pretzels and marshmellows on the way!! Hey you forgot the Beer! Seriously though, Race is right (at least in my case). We miss you SC. Its nice to see you pop in now and again but your post have decidly dropped to minimal content. Apart from the odd link in the general forums or reply to a newbie question (or to slap EP_5 around a bit) you are rarely seen. I/WE know you are busy but please take a break for a little while and let us know how you are feeling/what you are thinking. Hell just jump in and scream at us.

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: quote:Originally posted by Emmett.hendrick: Suffice to say I have a newHere are three better ones (3MB) God SC your killing me here. Those shots are excellent. Anticiptation overload! Overload! Again Excellent Work! The ship designs you have shown us are more brooding and menacing than in BCM and instantly bring back memories of the ships from Aliens or the battleships from Starship troopers(sorry only frame of reference I have). I don't know the new image(s) just easily conjour up the image of a hulking capitol class ship which they are suppose to be. You can almost feel the atmosphere ooze out of those shots. They're dark, they're brooding, they're imposing, they ROCK

OMG OMG OMG SC that Nightstar looks AMAZING! reminds me of the Marine ship in Aliens. I almost didn't recognise it at first it looks VERY different to its BCM counterpart. Shield effects are very reminisant of Star Trek and are also very cool! Suffice to say I have a new Desktop Wallpaper. I have pretty much always selected the Nightstar as my ship of choice so I was eagerly awaiting these pics and you have not dissappointed. Once again OMG

I grew up with the shuttle, all I can remember of space flights always include the shuttle. I remember the explosion years ago. And I felt for the crew and their families. In this latest incident I again feel for the crew and their families. Again the US space program has suffered a massive set back but I am confident that once again, like a phoenix, it shall rise again and Americans shall once again claim their place among the stars. The American spirit refuses to be held under foot and will fight its way back.

Done!

Ah the old "Sports" debate. I don't like football but I don't hold anything against anybody who does(except maybe my dad but thats a different story ). In fact I don't watch sports at all really however I do enjoy the motorbike racing occasional(sorry I am a biker after all) but the most dangerous/best sport must be hurling. Its played over here a LOT. I believe it was once called the fastest game in the world. Think Ice hockey(kind of) without the armour. Suffice to say alot of Hurling players over here are missing teeth(if they are lucky) of have some SERIOUS injuries after a couple of games.

I love that story for no other reason than I can empathise with the techie. Some users really are that thick. It pushes you to your limits sometimes not to yell at them and call them stupid and hang up on them.

Sorry to revive this old thread. Got an invite to join the EVE beta program - Fate is a cruel mistress it would seem as I have no net access on my home pc at the moment. ARGH
