ROTFLMAO

I don't know who's worse? The men being controled by the trouser snake or the women who are volunteering to take what could be a life endangering/potientially serious injury risks. As for the women just goes to show some people will do anything for money. As for the men - No comment!

Pretty cool!

Have to say I'm not over excited about this one, and I'm a big fan of the original. Don't know I'll see what the first episode is like and if it sucks I won't be too disappointed as I'm not expecting much.

LMAO that was classic

Hmmm lets see sending marines to the fighter bays when intruders are in Medical (or worse on the bridge) Sending two marines on search when perscan shows 7 intruders Playing with his gameboy instead of searching for intruders Basically being a doofus!

Personally I'm still excited about this game. Currently I'm playing Anarchy online. I guess I was lucky with Anarchy to miss the startup problems that it had and because SWG won't get released in Europe until at least September then I should miss the startup problems with SWG too. I am enjoying Anarchy Online at the moment and if SWG scrubs up as well I will be well happy.

"REPORT!" snapped Smyth as the Andromeda was violently thrown as a PTA blast tore into the skin of the carrier. On the bridge the crew grasped desperatly for anything they could to steady themselves. For moments James got no reply. He looked up at the almost dark bridge, slowly the emergency lights flickered on bathing the bridge in a red glow. James looked around as the bridge crew struggled to get back to their posts. The Andromeda was listing heavily to port and the gravity generators were obviously malfunctioning as gravity was pulling as though this was her standard keel, forcing everybody to stand at a lean. James pulled himself along a guard rail and back to his chair. "Damage report!" he commanded LT CMDR Talla took a moment to review the numerous damage reports on her pad before she replied. "Its bad sir!" she replied grimly "All decks report Hull breech, Engineering lost almost half their crew blown into space. Interceptor bay 2 and shuttle 3 have been lost and we are dead in space!" James stared out at the battle unfolding outside the viewport. Above the constant damage reports and command chatter of the bridge he could make out the faint exchange of fire. He was amazed how distant the combat now seemed even though only moments before the Andromeda had been in the thick of the action.

BCM has the ship combat down great, except for the immediate stopping of ships, which has already been said. I'm just wondering the following... 1)Will OC's has moving componets? Like turrets, wheels, ect. 2)Will you really be able to fire your handheld weapon when inside an OC? Some screenshots I saw looked like you could. 3)Will water based crafts be able to interact with the surface at all? 4)Obviously, a submarine can not hyperjump, so do you have to stay in one area, or mission zone? Thats it, thanks for your time. Yes Probably Meaning what? Well, yeah I can hear the ocean calling me! In my opinion BC took Elite and made it everything I wanted but Elite failed to deliver. Now with the marine units in BCG, it's set to do the same to Carrier Command. I Can't wait!!!!!!

I had come to somwhat of the same conclusion but thanks Jag you've nicely filed off the rough edges on my theory.

[rp] When your this deep into Gam space you never have down time, there is always something to do mid jump. Usually trying to work out how to avoid the task force waiting for you at the jump gate but repairs take up a bit of time aslo [/rp] I haven't seen Galcom space in must be about a month and a half now. I'm getting home sick.

A sigh of relief was heard on the bridge of the Andromeda as the last Gammulan ship was taken care off. "Sir only Omega II still remains in the region, the Invader is moving to intercept!" "Sir I'm not sure thats correct!" Suddenly a number of ships uncloaked in the region. "I've got a bad feeling about this!" Commented LT CMDR Talla. As she finished talking PTA fire shot from one of the ships hitting a Battlecruiser that was flanking the Andromeda. The Invader quickly accelerated to engage. "Lets Draw their fire!" Called Smyth, "Full speed ahead target the lead ship!" The massive carrier started to accelerate away from the fleet, who were jostling for better positions. Her PTA systems and main guns quickly found their target and her fighters roared ahead determind to make their impresion on the new arrivals.

Well having only recently ventured into the land of MMORPGS VERY recently (I signed up for Anarchy online and Ultima online (1 month free trial )) I think I will/have enjoyed my time with SWG so I am still looking forward to it.

Right now that the NDA is gone. A lot of optimisation code work is being done in the final few days before shipping but even then SWG requires a fairly hefty PC to run it. Even with the beta code it ran on almost full detail on my Rig! As with most MMORPG's it's the community that really makes the game (much like here!) I have mine on pre-order now and am looking forward to the community expierence.

Gammulan fighters made a streaking attacking against the Andromeda as she forced herself back on her X axis. Her well trained fighter crew intercepted the threat early and most of the fighters never made it to the carrier. Andromeda's fighters were relentless following the Gammulan ships along this ships hull and catching the few surviving ships in a deadly cross fire between their weapons and her PTA turrets.

As soon as the first volley impacted her hull the lead Aestrom switched targets and opened fire on the Andromeda as she closed range. Missiles arched from the Aestrom and raced for the lumbering carrier. On board the carrier Smyth grabbed the console in front of him to steady himself as the ship rocked from the Aestrom's inital volley. "Incoming missiles!" called LT CMDR Talla from her station "EMD activated!" "Bring us to a new heading, 45 degree left turn and a 10 degree dive" Commanded Smyth as the incoming missiles started to waver from their course. The missiles majoritively missed the massive ship but one impacted about half way along the starboard launch runway, the explosion was felt on the bridge as the ship rocked. "Fatal designate that ship and prepare to fire!" called Smyth as he made his way back to his command chair, "Helm reverse your turn hard to starboard!"

Thanx guys and girls(we do have some right?) Mother and soon came home yesterday and are doing well. Both send their appreciation for your kind words.

I have a nice ASUS AS7V333 board here going cheap(ish) - will run the new 3000+ chips that are now appearing and supports DDR 2700 RAM

You could send boarding parties in the Star Trek Command series of games. You send em in by transporter - come to think of it you could board and control ships in Star Trek Armada too.
