quote:Originally posted by Urza: [qb]Before even attempting it, make sure you maxed out your shield upgrades. What I did was turn on the cloak before entering the system, then, close up to the station, about 25 clicks. Cut the throttle to nothing. Then decloack and start pummeling the station with your IOD (and Vagrant Missiles if you can afford them). Keep your PTA and EMD on to disrupt fighters and missiles. While doing this, keep an eye on your shilelds. If your shields are running low, hit the retro rockets, backing away until your shields recharge. Then hit the afterburners, closing the range. Repeat until station is crippled. SC, my thoughts exactly! Yes, that's what I do, but I'll give you a part of a trick. The starstations in bc3k can't shoot in their vertical axis, well not completely. So shoot by trying to say "over" or "under" the station, and it will be easier and faster.

I'll add my voice to the roar of refusal, pooling is a bad idea. Like most people already said, you choose a fleet becauce you think that's the best one for you. That contributes to the fun factor. Beside, if you put the wrong people in the wrong fleet, you'll have the "incompetence" factor... meaning that some people wouldn't be able to do what the fleet is specialised in in a good enough manner. They would Help less to the fleet's succes as they would if they were if the one they should be in.

quote:The fleet DB has a mail broadcast feature. Why don't the FCs use it? I already received an Email from Karl Wolf I already received 2 Emails from Tac And at Orion since every member can get am orionfleet.com email (and is asked to use it), we have our own fleet news system.

hehehe

What does someone under 15 years of age? And I think there should be something between "newbie" and "advanced" in the bc experience box. If someone have less than 8.0 dx? (hey, if this is for tech support, then that could be an issue...) What about the MB? I see bios info, but no motherboard brand/model.

Btw, Derek, what do you think of an Asus gf2 mx400 64mb [pure]? Planning to buy that for my comp, a tbird 950 Finally, I'll be up to date with technology!

yay!

GAME OF THE NEW DECADE

Well Orion has 30 members, and about 25 of them are less or more active.

About #5... the forum is hosted on their server, but the admin is still Derek and the other CAT guys and moderators (at different levels)

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: I'm not going to disband ISS Just have some Prime (the largeest fleet) transfer some member to ISS. By my directive, it is so ordered. How many are transfered, is up to the FCs. If you want my opinion, that's not a good idea. People chose a fleet because they liked that fleet. If, for example, I had to be transfered out of Orion for any reason, I'd be mad as hell, because I spent a lot of time integrating myself in the fleet, getting friendly with it's members and probably even practiced the developped tactics... and if I was to be transferred to ISS, I wouldn't like that because it's not my type of fleet. But There has a been some ideas about temporary fleet member transfer, an exchange program. Maybe some fleet members could volunteeer to assist ISS for a while?

quote:This is why I think all the AWOL or MIA members of Prime Fleet should be removed from the DB. If there not active in the forum they shouldn't be in a fleet. Yay! (we realised at Orion that if you remove all MIA members in the prime fleet db, Orion is bigger, or almost )

Get someone in a shuttle Target a vessel Press v for cargo manifest Use main menu/current target/SC# collect cargo or something if there's something That's it.

How many time this has been asked before...? Use the search function.

Well That's okay. If prime stick his nose out of Sol that's a good thing. they are too many people in there, and prime should think about defending a larger area. Just to let people know, Orion is taking the Alpha Centauri and Tau Ceti system as our defense grid (I am myself parked in permanent patrol in Eori)

Please clarify. Do you consider all fleet leader to be useless? I KNOW this is a stupid question, but you need to answer, because a lot of people migt not understand. [ 09-30-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

Ok, I have thought about it, and I have an idea for folks like me, and idea that wouldn't go against SC's idea. What about keeping the "general discussion" (on the old forum) section open? I mean, that section is for all discussion, NOT related to the game. I and the other people in my situation could still talk with the people, as long as it's not about BCM (ooohh that would be quite hard for me... ), as I eagerly wait for the moment I can put my greasy hands on the blue box from the heavens, and be able to talk about the game. So what do you think?

quote:but face-to-face combat, sometimes even more dangerous, with lots and lots of ships involved... Hey, that's us!

Well I think overall the registration-code thing is good to eliminate the bad people, but like I said...

Well It's not about the price of the game itself, it's about the price of the computer... I need one first (I mean, a good one)... and I won't put bcm in front of it, that wouldn't be very intelligent, IMHO...

Well not all of us have enough money... If I'm lucky I should have the game in early November. If I'm realistic I should have it in mid-november, maybe more. It's because I fear that I won't have any place to talk with my buddies but the Orion forum, and there is far less people there than here...

Hum... and what us that can't get the game before a while? what de we do? It's just a question, I want to be informed... It's the place that gets most of my webhits. Of course I'm trying to get the game ASAP And the forums don't look different from UBB ones. I suppose we can only see the difference on the inside. It's not a bad thing.
