I OTS'ssed my way to TacOps commander

I think it's because NPC vessels don't get damaged to specific systems. While you have dozens of subsystems, the enemy have 4 systems, reactor, engine, weapons and launch bays. And while you can be handicapped with the loss of a critical system, NPC only see their capacities being reduced. it's probably to save CPU power. My sunflash cruiser has 41 systems, and bigger vessels have more. Imagine the processing power that would be needed to process more than 50 ships... so I can understand why. It's about KISS'ing the game I also noticed that NPC vessel's shields recharge MUCH slower that your shields, and I don't understand why it has been done so... enemies are so easy to destroy...

How many of you people actually DO what you say?

Already a topic for that... MERRY CHRISTMAS! anyway

I used the wonderful search function and found this topic. That is what vultar is asking, but it's 404. Jaguar? (btw I'd like to have them again too... dunno where they went)

Already did that. Stopped towing the cc just before exiting the shuttle.

2 words : -= THE MATRIX! =-

Congrats! Who's next?

Well I've been thru deadlocks too... leaving the ship floating around a station while trading with a shuttle is not good... I saw my sunflash being almost destroyed by a alinix... even thought I ordered it to attack it... I had no more reactor. No logistix computer.. I entered my ship by the airlock (shuttle couldn't dock). I towed my ships VERY close to the station but I couldn't dock! I asked for a tow and nothing happened, money wasn't even deducted from my account... I had 1.2 millions... what to do in such a situation?

ROTFLMAO!

Depends. I subscribed to mcafee's newletter, and I get sometimes virus alerts. Then i go on their website and effectively, they're talking about that virus. But I requested those warnings, that's different...

LOL! That's a good one

Teleport a prisoner down Jupiter's atmosphere... hehehe

Spuzzum : you can't play with cargo pods with a cc. About Machine1010, I got curious and fired up my game. What I did is launch in a StormCarrier from hexar, and fly away from it while my AE was going in one of the shuttles. Note : the StormCarrier max speed is 750ms, and the shuttle mk2 is 2350ms Then, I launched my shuttle and tractored the Stormcarrier. I went to 0 then put ab on. My max speed was about 540ms. Then I target hexar, press "f" to create a flight path target and put a/p on. Suprise! My shuttle jumps to 2150 in a matter of seconds, and disabling the ap make me gradually slow down to my original speed. CONCLUSION : the effect of "tractor drag" doesn't work as it should with a/p on. and Machine1010, just be sure to put the url on one line. [ 12-23-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

Hehe... can you "deploy" prisoners from a shuttle at 30k feets high? BOMBS... err.. PRISONERS AWAY! [ 12-23-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

Lieutenant, JJ, you are a lieutenant... Get a AMD computer, thunderbird or XP, depending on your budget. And I already warned you : stop writing in ALLCAPS! You wanna get into trouble???

Yeah, I know, my webpage provider is simply gone... I'll set up my own ftp and host everything on my hard drive, soon.

yeah, basically.

Whoohoo my first tech support demand! Random CTD - using 1.0.0.03 final. Haven't tried simplifying what to do so : - Start new career, ter/mil/cmdr/sunflash/iss - Launch, target Titan and establish planetfall. - Put fengineers in shuttles, put waypoints to deploy drones. Make them do it and come back after. - Land the CC. Put order to halt and engage a/p. Put the AE in sc1. Launch. - Crash on the land doing some damage. - Go in space, dock at ISS. - login, click on craft, then click repairs. - click on cargo. CTD no error Doing the same thing BUT going at GHQ does the same thing. [ 12-22-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]
