LOL it's speelled! Talk about detail... missle (sic) manoeuvrability... sheesh.

Well isn't this the n00b forum? Nobody HAS to answer...

and we have the final community forum logo, thanks to Eclipse

I'm not sure if this is a problem... but I'm having some "trouble" with the random mp3 playback. I have 196 songs in my music directory, all of then are CBR-128-44 (I've verified them all). My "problem" is : The songs are always played in the same order. The first songs (as I remember) : 1 - The Matrix - Lunatic Calm - Leave You Far Behind 2 - BCM - The player 3 - IL Caesar - Are you afraid of my eyes 4 - Push - Universal Nation (the real anthem) 5 - Dj eN - Life is a loop ... Not that I don't like those songs, but I have a 10 hours "playlist" and since I don't play 10 hours straight often, there are some songs I will nearly never hear, and hearing the same 10-30 songs gets annoying...

Hmm so why when I fight another sunflash my shields recharge faster than his? And that's before I upgraded.

A design of mine from somewhere else, adapted to the bc restrictions (no ion batteries) 6km long, 3km width, 2km high, an highest sublight speed of 0.3c (or about 90,000km/s) taking 1.5 hours to attain, a crew of 200 fengineers and 6000 sengineers, plus a deployment force of 20,000 marines, 90 fighters and their pilots (72 heavy fighters and 12 super (*ahem* cloakable)), 80 shuttles, 850 PTA batteries, 150 missile launchers, 10 sdm-class missile launchers , 25 nuke bays... and if possible 2 heavy mainguns that would probably be the equivalent of 10 pad guns each. Shields would be about 600,000 in strengh, and armor of nearly 4 millions. The ship would take 1 min to do a 180 degrees turn, which is fast for it's size. Cargo bays of 350,000 each, weapon bays of 50,000 each. I realise this ship wouldn't fit in the current jump-gates And would alone destroy the whole gammulan empire I have the right to dream, no?

parking anywhere on a planet far from a mzone is perfectly safe... unless you are on a gazeous planet... [ 01-04-2002: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

ROTFLMAO!

quote:Six fighters + two cruisers = trouble! Err, what?? Trouble? Bah. I often take on 10 fighters, 3 cruisers and 1 carrier... Maybe I'm too good

quote:To move between planets and the area around them, there are jump gates and flux fields, which propel you instantly between one end and the other. (Again, absolutely vital, other wise its "real time trip to mars anyone?"). There are also wormholes, which allow you to jump between different locations, however your ship may take damage when using them, and you have no idea where you are going to end up - you could be in a black hole! The guy made a mistake between flux fields and wormhole. Small mistake.

Uhoh, better check VE for a BCM thread

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: I doubt it. If there is one part missing and/or a system remains unrepaired, the system will not be repaired to 100% No, I got that problem sometimes also... and I verified that I had all part. Happens randomly thought.. often had the "suspended" 100% repaired system thing too. And about the shield thing... I think a better shields give to xx% more shield hitpoints, same for armor.

What would be cool is to have little pics of all the bc ships Would like to have a little sunflash as avatar

SC, any idea about making toy bc ships? Could be a source of profit A FREE replica of the bcmk3 in each box! [ 01-03-2002: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

[ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Supreme_Cmdr ] *sigh* I thought I could get rid of it... That was one thing I liked with those forums... no little annoying image... will there be a way to get rid of the avatar? Or enter a custom url for a av? BTW I noticed each time I go and modify my profile I must re-enter my CD-key... is it normal? [ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

Don't forget that the GCO beta testing will start this year

I haven't wrote any war stories yet because the AI has been MUCH too easy for me... I never faced any challenge... each time I got damaged is when I did something stupid (activate AP for 2 seconds...) I guess the Sunflash doesn't provide as much fun. Never got attacked by a cloaked vessel either, but I often have static and "There's something out there" messages­.

I don't know... I haven't had any intruder problems... my intruders are like 3@12ai and 2@8ai, or around that, but I can take on 3 intruders and not lose a single marine.. 4 intruders, get wounded personnel... 5... I still win, but...

No, I could dock and I was VERY close, almost colliding with the station, and I couldn't dock.

ACK! I don't want an avatar! I keep having the blue thing displayed!

Waht? (sic) I had an error in my sig and didn't knew about it??? Damn. Should be solved now. [ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ] Grr! NOW should be ok. [ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

Bad nova! I was supposed to be first! [rp] Crowd looks at Epsilon 5 and ask "WHY???" all at once. Epsilon 5 : Err... you know... oh forget it [/rp]
