Hehehe Here I go again... blah blah blah... [rp] As expected, he reacted badly to the " news " he had. He reacted very badly. But, as I said, it was expected. His mission : kill, or get killed. And currently, he seems to think that the last thing is the most likely. Now I am alone with him, but I'm not feeling insecure at all. I'm sure that, considering the possible outcome, he won't even try to escape. I wait a few seconds, just to lower the tension in the room. In a more relax tone, I continue speaking. "We understand the level of danger induced in your mission. We are giving you a big favor, doing everything that is not directly related to the Gammulans nor the Valkeries. We are maybe hem maybe is not a good word here We are sending you on a suicide mission, but it's a critical mission that will decide the fate of the Galaxy for a while. We want you to succeed while assuring your survival, and we're giving you all possible tools." Assuring his survival Sure "About your position among the Gammulans You are to serve as a temporary combat officer, in charge of the marines in the ship. You can use your authority to give you more space, more room for actions, and you have access to anywhere on the ship. We have modified their database and even given you an history. With the amount of troops they have, we can give you that rank and the assignment without anyone noticing, or at least for the duration of the mission. Be warned, even if you were a true Gammulan, you would be watched, since you will be on the command vessel along with the fleet admiral at a critical moment. They will also know that you are part-human, and some of them will hate you for that. You'd better watch your back." I wouldn't like to be in his position he's lucky we were able to integrate him in their database "Now about some details. I will give you, in a short moment, a datapad of the all-you-should-know about the mission and about the Gammulan army system in general. Also, I've noticed that your ship is damaged. As soon as you will leave the ship, you will be permitted to do repairs at the Orion starstation. You will have the possibility to do repairs for a maximum amount of 2 millions galcreds. Those repairs will be free. You will also be escorted from here to the Trenis system by myself and a specially mounted escort of several fighters and 2 Warmongers super-cruisers. After that, you will be on your own." I hope it was a good idea to give the mission to him. I'm not sure it would even have been good to give this mission to anyone "If you have any question regarding the mission, I'd be pleased to answer them at this moment." [/rp] Tha big guns are ready for a standard escort. Just relax and don't feel threatened. [ 04-20-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

I'm in need of a covert operative. Anyone interested in infiltrating the UCV-Deathstrike as acting Tactical officer?

Sometimes I can't, too. But try agains at random moments.

[rp] I leaned over the console. The corporal's face appeared on the screen. - Yes corporal? - He is aboard, sir - Was he armed? - One standard issue scat-10 pistol, plus 3 clips, sir. FoolÔǪ I thought. Are they even aware that they're dealing with an assassinÔǪ I knew my welcoming party would only sound like a decoration for him. Now he's fully armed. - On my way. From the start this mission sounded weird. First of all, I had to remove all insignias on my hull, and stop emitting any IFF signalÔǪ they must have detected me like the UCV-NO NAMEÔǪ I'm riding a Megaron! This thing is rarely available outside military factions! And what about the mission? Sure, only a part-gammulan part-human assassin could do itÔǪ the assassination of a gammulan high ranking officerÔǪ But I have no choice : It's my mission, and failure at this moment will result in +2 violations. I had to increase security protocols all around the ship. This thing contains 20 marines. I've assigned 14 of them to escort our guest, and 6 for search duty. I've closed every door than can be closed. Engineering is safe behind it's blast-proof heavy steel door. Our guest is currently being taken to the detention holdÔǪ the safest place of this shipÔǪ When I arrive in the detention hold, he is already there. He got 4 marines posted in a square formation around him, rifle in hand. He seems suprised to be here, but not really stressed about it. First, I take a deep breath, and clear my voice. "Welcome on my ship, commander. Oh, yes, Shingen is your name. Can I call you Shingen? Doesn't matter. As you can see, I have increased my standard ship security protocols, because I am well aware that you are an assassin. In fact, you are among the best, which is quite respectable among your class." I take a short pause to watch his reactions. He's not impressed at all. Good. "But let's get to the point. Hostilities between the Terrans and the Gammulan have been quite idle since a relatively long period, each of them staying where they belong. But that's about to change. Intelligence watching the activity in the Gammulan sector have noticed a change lately, and since then they have been investigating on the future events that could happen. We have come to a conclusion that has nothing positive for the galaxy." I'm taking another pause. He is still indifferent. "The Gammulans are about to step out of their territory, this time not to strike in the Mandorian and Kandorian sectors. They have a much closer objective : gain control of the Zelana system, Controlling the access though the Lanix-V stargate to the hot spot of the credian sector, and cutting the galaxy in half. They are gathering a force of extreme magnitude, containing a minimum of 12 StormCarriers, 7 Firestorms and 3 A├½stroms, a force that we are practically unable to defend ourselves against. There might be even more, but that's the numbers we know." I'm taking another deep breath. I'm coming to the hot part of the speech. "Now, you must be asking yourself of the reason of your presence in this situation. We understand that you could never fight, or wouldn't, with your cruiser among a force we could be about to build, nor infiltrating each main ships and sabotaging them. What we want from you is to infiltrate their command ship, the StormCarrier BoneCrusher, and kill their fleet admiral. He is expected to be on the border of the Valkerie territory in about 1 week, so I recommend you to be fast." I hate speeches. Really. "Now that you know what we want you to do, let's talk about how you will proceed. We have chosen you not only because you are an elite assassin, but also by the fact that you are also a gammulan-human hybrid. Further intelligence have reported that the BoneCrusher will be waiting for a shuttle filled with marines in 2 days. The shuttle is an easy target, and you are to infiltrate it at the Valkerie starstation Cyclone in Cyron-IV. We have security clearances and passes to help you with your task. Now that you know everything about it, you have no choice, but to accept the contract. Refusal will result in a dozen headhunters after you. Success will result in the removal of your name in the current list of "wanted" people at Galcom, same thing for your entire crew, a reward a 60 millions galcreds and free repairs at Galcom HQ for one year or as long as you stay off the list. (pause) Now, if ever you have any question, comment or idea, now it is the moment to talk." I can already imagine him trying to find a way to get the hell out of here. [/rp] Is 60 millions enough? I'm in need of a covert operative infiltrated in the Deathstrike, if anyone want this role, tell it to me. Sorry for the delay in my posting, had a few problems. If anything upper is wrong, tell it to me and I will correct it pronto [ 04-20-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Right, this guy (or girl...) has way too much time on his hands...

A HD is the best thing. Western digital? Nah. Buy a Maxtor, they are much better. cost a bit more, but they never fail at their job. I have a friend who took FOUR MONTHS to fill a 40 gig drive... 25 gigs of games, 5 gigs of mp3, 8 gigs of misc programs... 2 free. He also have a Acer CD-RW that don't work... dammit...

My mother was out of words... unable to find something to say "video games are different... they..." BCM should go on the news

You start living before you're born

happy birthday! I can't see the image...

Sorry Shingen, I was cut-off from the internet , and wasn't able to post my rp reply. It will be there today.

quote:If I was seriously contemplating that, I'd escort myself to the airlock. Need help I'd like to help make that tech manual. not that I have extensive knowledge in the subject, but I often wonder about those details, and have a few ideas.

Comms: quote:tachyons can travel faster than light (or through hyperspace, depending on your definition). I believe that light-speed can be exceeded. But I won't reject Einstein theory. Tractor beams: quote:Isn't it? I always thought if a ship tractored another ship, and then went into hyperspace, the tractored ship went with it. Yes, that is logical, but play the demo and tractor yourself with one of your shuttle and you'll see he's the only one in hyperspace. Cloning: quote:"you cannot tell your officers to give DNA again" When you clone an officer, it become exactly like the officer you had when you were commissionned. Play for weeks with the same game, and lose an officer. Clone him and he'll be just like at start: not more intelligent than a mushroom. Reactor: quote:We are, of course, restricted to what the SC has given us. That's something to consider. But, anyway, maybe WE could make the new manual... Antimatter nacelles: quote:Those ships. *grin*. Oh, those things... I though it would only be the hyperdrive itself, the engine, nothing really special. So if CTAS is included in BCM, destroying this part would take down the hyperdrive. Engine: quote:I suppose that's just an inconsitency in the game. A game this complex, there's bound to be some. Maybe it'll be fixed in BCM. I hope so. Interceptors: quote:That's essentially what I had in mind - plasma-powered engines But if we have to follow SC's directions, what do we do with the fact that there is a "nuclear reactor" in the fighter's parts? (some things aren't in order)

I've sent you an e-mail, Shingen. I'll check my mail often tonight.

Dunno about what you should say, but if you would change the bcmkII for a Megaron heavy carrier, I could act as the meeting commander. Your Solnar would not have much chance in battle against my beast. I'm a RP newbie, but an experienced galcom commander

Very good idea. Here are my comments and suggestions: 1) Laser links or radio wave comms are alright. 2) What about tachyon energy waves, used like a laser stream? 3) The dimension shift is the best possibility. It would also explai why ships are invisible in hyperspace (they're in another dimension, but why can we tractor a ship in hyperspace (I mean the tractored ship is not in hyperspace) ? 4) Good idea. Would explain why we can transport people while shields up; 5) Well... could be true, but then we should not see alright thru a cloaked ship, we should see some distorsion. 6) That's what I think. The only things that bothers me is the fact that you cannot tell your officers to give DNA again so they may be more intelligent after a cloning procedure. 7) I like nuclear fusion, but there could be anti-matter too. There is a big thread about this in the rp forum (Engineering 101) 8) Good idea, but then I don't have much idea of my own on this. 9) Why shouldn't it be a constant-fire IOD? 10) I never found a plausible way to explain how any tractor beam works. Dunno. 11) How about plasma drive? The battery could be a plasma reserve (fuel) and with contact with electricity, it would create energy for propulsion (It's a true possibility that Nasa is considering) 12) I would say it's a mix of the two. 13) When your reactor is off or if you're out of radine, the engine is off too, but when it's destroyed (but mecanically still online), the engines still work. There's a paradox here. 14) Maybe the plutonium is used to create ions (a contained ionised field), but then you couldn't touch the hull without hurting the shields. 15) Where is #15? 16) What ships? 17) Titanium armor could be all that you said + the fact that a better armor is a better alloy, which would explain why you need some materials else than titanium to repair it. (and the titanium could be found in the hull & armor repair units). 18) If that is true, they should be included in roleplay. When you read the treads, it always seems like there was nothing else than biological being to take care of the ship. 19) I prefer something you wear like a watch. OTHER THINGS: A1) The med-laser, by Cmdr Nova quote: Description of Med-Laser: The Med-Laser was a device that would first scan your DNA and flash-create skin cells on demand for you, and close nearly all wounds on you, by streaming fresh skin cells and focusing a light-density laser onto the skin, speeding up the scab-to-skin process. Although it was a miraculous device, you would still have to use a higher density, and more complicated version for surgeries on viral organs, like the heart, lungs, or brain.

"What the h***... s***... f***" When some syseng started to disappear, I wondered it they were rebelling against me... I always had a very bad experience with insurgents, rp way and non-rp.

Put a limit to the intruders that will come at a time? Great. Something that already happenned to me: 5 intruders board 8 intruders board 12 intruders board 3 intruders board Total: 28 Elapsed time: 10 mins Remaining marines: 7 on 40, plus misc casualties. This ain't a joke. That when I was defending GHQ from a bunch of insurgents carriers and cruisers.

LOL!

Wooo... stop there... I'm happy there's people from somewhere else than america... I'm nothing of a racist or anything.

*maybe* it will help, but create a shortcut to bcm, and add the /d1 parameters at the end of the command line "command line" /d1 Weird.

Ever got boarded when there is no hostile in the region? In bc3k, I got board in polaris-2 when there was only the trading station and some hacker transports.

Then, tow that ship to the station, and dock. It will ask if you want to deliver the towed ship. You'll get credits and exp. points for that too. (I think)

Let's give a last cheer to our logo-maker! ... I'll start making a story...The legend of a foreign commander...

Dunno about your problem, but you'll have to wait until episode 2 to see planets.

ROTFLMAO!!! And what do I do with the blood spill? We have 2 cats at home, and 4 others passed by before. A friend has 3 cats, and already had 4... Now tell me how I'm supposed to brush my cat's teeth?
