Epsilon 5

BCO, with a Tekki-like control set. As long as it has EVERYTHING that's has been said and better. Describing all the details I want would be too long. Some of which is per-item inflation, more specific misc. items, weapon variants (i.e. a gammulan reactor model could be more powerful than its mandorian counterpart, but would eat more fuel (but then you'd have to include detailed power management) ), more race-unique ships (at least 3 capships and 5 fighters each), specialised armament (think IG3), defined production centers (i.e stations don't make everything you gotta import), ship weight affecting acceleeration and braking (which would require to include systems and cargo items' weight), true docking (i.e. either you have to land your ship in the hangers, or to the least you have a detailed animation (unlike EnB), walking in the station and seeing every docked & logged player's ship / fighter / shuttle .. same for starbase garages, transition-less space-atmospheric switching (which Derek has already posted being against).... *mutters* You get the idea.

It's an funny adaptation of an older joke. Thought you'd like ----- HU'S ON FIRST By James Sherman (We take you now to the Oval Office.) George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening? Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China. George: Great. Lay it on me. Condi: Hu is the new leader of China. George: That's what I want to know. Condi: That's what I'm telling you. George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China? Condi: Yes. George: I mean the fellow's name. Condi: Hu. George: The guy in China. Condi: Hu. George: The new leader of China. Condi: Hu. George: The Chinaman! Condi: Hu is leading China. George: Now whaddya' asking me for? Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China. George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China? Condi: That's the man's name. George: That's who's name? Condi: Yes. George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China? Condi: Yes, sir. George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East. Condi: That's correct. George: Then who is in China? Condi: Yes, sir. George: Yassir is in China? Condi: No, sir. George: Then who is? Condi: Yes, sir. George: Yassir? Condi: No, sir. George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone. Condi: Kofi? George: No, thanks. Condi: You want Kofi? George: No. Condi: You don't want Kofi. George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N. Condi: Yes, sir. George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N. Condi: Kofi? George: Milk! Will you please make the call? Condi: And call who? George: Who is the guy at the U.N? Condi: Hu is the guy in China. George: Will you stay out of China?! Condi: Yes, sir. George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N. Condi: Kofi. George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone. (Condi picks up the phone.) Condi: Rice, here. George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East? -----

quote:Originally posted by Jaguar: quote: FYI: The Mirror is a classic example of a British Tabloid newspaper, more interested in sensationalism (and celebrities) than real news, so anything they say should be taken with a pinch of salt Where did this come from? I do not see a thing out of the mirror on this thread, and I would NEVER post from that, it's like the national enquirer or something? So again, where did that comment originate from? quote: The response was swift and sharp. "Have a Nice Daydream," The Mirror, a London daily, shot back, reporting: "Britain reacted with fury and disbelief last night to claims by American newsmen that crime and violence are worse here than in the US." But sandwiched between the articleÔÇÖs battery of official denials -- "totally misleading," "a huge over-simplification," "astounding and outrageous" -- and a compilation of lurid crimes from "the wild west culture on the other side of the Atlantic where every other car is carrying a gun," The Mirror conceded that the CBS anchorman was correct. Except for murder and rape, it admitted, "Britain has overtaken the US for all major crimes."

A little OT to a OT statement - as I remember the lack of government intervention caused the 1929 depression. An economy of laissez-faire is always heading for auto-destruction. It's like running a nuclear reactor without the carbon bars.

it's not really about the flaming part, it's about arguing with someone you KNOW will NOT change their opinion.

Now THAT'S total immersion. Oh Derek, make sure BCO or some other BC game support a controller like that .. or somethin similar. My dream control set has ALWAYS been double joystick with center control panel and pedals. I read somewhere if you didn't flipped a switch before eject, you pilot would die and your savegame would be erased. Talk about hard-core

quote:Originally posted by Outlaw: And I suppose u feel much safer in your comfy carrier now that your back in Orion? When u were an indie I would've looked the other way but now your back as a target for destruction. Oh well, maybe I can get a nice fat bounty on your head yet. Actually, the GCV-Stalker is waiting for my command in the Orion station docking bays, a sunflash heavy cruiser (currently being repainted and re-tagged, while the crew cleans and fix the small stuff that have been neglected due to a lack of funds .. gotta love Galcom's bottomless pockets ) However my point still stands. if you are a merc, you have no choice but to like cruisers, since you can't fly carriers.

quote:Originally posted by Outlaw: quote:If you have a Cruiser, you Fight or DIE!!(there's no running away!!) Cruisers all the way, 'nuff said. you have no choice, since you are a merc

I'm up to the point where It's not worth arguing with either side, since neither will change their opinion. So go ahead, flame each other, I wonder what's the point

We, in the Orion fleet, like to keep standards that we're used throughout mankind's history (OOC : forget that I'm Empirian, we know little about their history)

quote:Originally posted by TheBunny: is there any way i can video record what happened?was the deck wet? maybe you slipped off the deck hmm .. video recording .. I don't know ... I should try to find a program that does that. is it reproductible?

quote:What I really need is a hybrid. A cruiser that can use artifacts. Screw cloaking I want the enemy to see me coming, gives them more time to wet themselves!Actually, save from long hyperdrive times, the Megaron and the Nightstar are pretty good at it. They have superior amounts of PTA defense turrets as an heavy carrier, and very good shielding. quote::side note: Do higher lvl shields prevent intrusions?No, but I bet if you give a clown look to Resnig it'll scare them away, but it might scare your own crew aswell

You don't say "Carrier GRP". you say "CVG" Else it looks ok.

well you already have the number to call ... good thing he doesn't have dynamic ip , since if it was like me, either you'd need to call and block my account or block the entire Qu├®bec sympatico isp

quote:Originally posted by Starfighter08: quote:Originally posted by Dragon Lady: ... your assumption that people will somehow become away of what's going on is laughable.Just a sidenote. In the evening of July 13, 1789 king Louis XVI wrote following word into his diary: "rien" (nothing) Can you tell the context .. so I can understand it?

you forgot that cruisers usually have kickass PTA defense systems. I once flew a BC mk2 vs a icm2. 5 minutes later the ic was still alive. On the other side, I would not have main guns on the sunflash could still kick some serious asses. Cruisers are ASSAULT vessels, bc carriers are half-support, half-assault. When you require versatility, use a carrier. When you just want your opponents away, use a cruiser. BTW - in a cruiser, retreat is an option. Clever management of your marines will keep them alive, and their ai will eventually improve, at a point which they kill better. In a carrier you can just send the whole platoon at a all-you-can-shoot buffet

- They are losers with nothing to do with their time - They are convinced that their actings hurt DS and his business - Derek used to reply alot to their flames (which is not really true anymore, hence the smaller flames) quote:Heh, hell, maybe you could try a little reverse psycology.
