*looks at the db* *call security* "Security, we have a clandestine member!" Hehehe... hope you stay in Orion... maybe it's a sign...

No... I have a better idea... if you press WASD as your first 4 keys... all your systems suffer 50% damage, all people onboard drop at 35% health and get 100% fatigue, you get radiation of all decks and, last of all, you get 20 intruders! *evil grin* ...oh and you have Resnig saying the mighty phrase EACH 10 SECONDS!!!! MOUHAHAHAHAHA! (on the all your base are belong you us theme) All your marine are ready for deployment! [ 08-16-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

Look at the last past! It shrinked, and alot! quote:This is the same procedure used in the past BC games. Why is this strange to you, all of a sudden? Because I wasn't there when bc3k was in developpement. quote:I guess that means you won't be posting any more nonsense, once I remove it? Hmm.. maybe not... I'll have new stuff to say... quote:Only a complete idiot would pre-order the game from EBgames.com, rather than pre-order from their local EB store in Canada. Even if you live outside of a town that carries it, shipping within Canada would be cheaper than shipping from US to Canada.

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: ...fer someone who doesn't even have a rig to run BCM, how do you plan on running the game with any craft of those specs? Do you have ANY idea how much processing is required for 60 PTA turrets? Not a single one

DOH!

Or.. Battlecruiser is not a "WASD" game, so it's too complicated.

Why stopping the updates for the VCF? The VCF is like the heart-beat of the game : its what makes you know that its alive. I check if there are updates each hour now because I'm waiting for the update... it's almost like if the VCF was the only thing that makes the wait worth it. I'll pre-order when I'll have money for, and when I'll see a decent price. 75cnd is MUCH too MUCH for a game (that includes the shipping), whatever the game, except mmog's. In fact, I've never seen any game cost 75cnd except Everquest and UO. Most of the big games here cost at maximum 65cnd (42usd), generally 60cnd. You see, my computer is much more important than BCM (logically), and my budget is quite limited even thought my financial resources have substancially grown. 75cnd is about half the money that will be missing by mid-september to pay my video card. (damn it's the fifth time I'm trying to post...) [ edit: and i had a triple post... phew...internal server error ] [ 08-15-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

OOOOOHHHHH YYYYYEAAHH! Great, that's cool. Better get on with my battleships with 300 twin turrets

quote:Why stop there? Go all the way, and build a full-scale Death Star!! YES! I only gave an example... quote:Looks like we won't be using Randoms anymore.... Hehe. Why not? quote:But seriously; if we could, then we would, right? I would, that's for sure. If only i can get a working 3ds max and a computer to make it work on. Another question... if we put a lot of new ships in the game, can we change the ships that are auto-generated?

DAMN! just IN MY DULL FACE... I hate that... *hides in a dark corner" *weeps* (just like the time I as searching for my glasses... I had them on my face... and I can't see much without my glasses, so there's a BIG difference....)

I might say that it's because you need to play in menu to do some stuff... --- In freespace 2, you can get specific systems to be damaged. the repairs are automatic. In battlecruiser, you can get specific systems to be damaged, but you need to assign people for repairs and have the parts needed. You also have more systems --- In freespace 2, you have a few keys to press to do much of the work. I think it's "j", "k" and "l" to change power allocation to engine/shields/weapons In BC, you have menus and submenus. Althought there are shortcuts to do most of what you want to do, they take some time to remember (select target's attacker is "b"... you remember that?) --- In freespace 2, the "only" threats are space based, and to only thing you need to get rid of 'em is your trigger. In BC, you can have intruders. You generally need to assign marines (Resnig office is always relocated to the aft sdeck airlock), because you never have enough of them running around. I could continue like that for a while... But that's what make BC a good game. [ 08-15-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

I got bored today so I re-installed bc3k (even if I can't have sound nor have a functionning joystick), but when I wanted to play as a raider, I couln't find the "mission control" section of the bc website... does anyone has the zipfile that adds the raider, trader, and insurgent freeflight modes in the mission list?

I've got a question for you SC: When you put ships in the game, do you have limitations? I mean, If I wanted a ship 5 kilometers in length, with 60 pta turrets, 20 main guns and 48 fighter, going at 30km/s and that the jumping time would be 5 seconds, the shields 12k and armor 50k, could I?

I wanna be first to say it this time... 'Welcome to our nightmare! TTFN

Congratulations!

I played the demo... and played with the geo-mod.... damn THIS ROCKS! In the training there's a part where you learn how to make holes in walls... but when you finish doing what the guy tells you... you have plenty of rockets and remote charges left.. hehehe... I went on a demolition mission├®

w00t!!! you have it! cool, can you send it to me? my icq is #86811631 and i could put it on my webpage... oh right derek wanted to put it on fileplanet...

while searching i found this jewel... Cool pic of a commander shooting with a rifle in some room.

Red faction was supposed to be Descent 4... but they played too much with the stuff and it transformed a mine-ship game into a fps miner revolt game.

BCTE? What is it for?

quote:Senior Trader that has earned the division at least 6.400.000 With the contract profits only? Can you buy "respect" by giving 1-2 milions to the division? quote:The Terrans, Empirians, and the Vesperons are currently GalCom members. However, this does not mean that all people in these 3 castes have to be GalCom. The Terrans, Empirians and Vesperons are not castes... but races... small error.

Anyway... But will there be some sort of interiors in shuttles? I mean, if you can carry 18 people, then the shuttle have a lot of space... just go in the demo, land with a shuttle and walk around it.

No, just answer that question please: WILL THERE BE COMPLETE INTERIORS IN GCO, FOR ALL SHIPS AND STATIONS? That will solve everything.

quote:I AM NOT BUILDING LEVELS FOR SHIPS. PERIOD quote:We're currently hiring level designers for the creation of interiors for all capital ships, starbases and stations, for GCO and quite possibly a stand-alone add-on for BCM. quote:I'll leave that up to those who actualy get it. Oh, so YOU won't make levels, but you are hiring people to do it, is that right?

ROTFLMAO! That was a good one...
