quote:Outlaw posted on 11-10-2001 Hey forget Intercorp man. This proposal of yours is BS. I'm an indie and being member of Intercorp doesn't exactly make me a indie. Count me out. My brothers in the Gammulan fleet will back me up always and no politics involved like in Intercorp will get in my way. Out. Sorry to see you go Outlaw...maybe next time quote:Shigen posted on 11-12-2001 Ok I've been gone for awhile, but you guys aren't STILL hashing over that old "indie alliance" crap are you? The whole POINT of being an INDIE in to REMAIN INDEPENDENT! If I wanted to join an organization, I'd apply to one of the fleets... Seems rather rudundant to be a 'indie' in an 'organization' don't it? Well, thank you very much of your opinion. Kindly close the door on your way out. Look I respect your decision but pouring water over our efforts in not what I expected at all, next time instead of that, could you give some constructive comments instead. Please read up on the discussion first before you put out a unilateral statement like that. Thank you.

Sorry for the long disappearance RL intruded in my pc life. Yes, Baloogan, the two logos aren't that good, forgive me but I'was my first try at gfx drawing. If you have better one, please feel free to put it up of comments. Unfortunately I do not have the time to rectify the two logos that I have put up or finish up the other four work in progress, maybe later.

This was back in the early 90s when I playing X-Com or UFO Enemy Unknown for you Brits Afer cramming my studies, I needed a break so I loaded my savegame and decided that it was time to beat some alien butt....there I was playing the game, when a couple of Etherals jumped my squad and beat the holy hell out of it ....which was when I finally I looked up from the screen, guess what ......it was the next night...I played 28 hours through without going to the loo or eating or sleeping or even taking a bath. Fortunately this was in college and I was living away from home...unfortunately I had exam had a exam in 6 hours time...hows that for engrossing gameplay...Needless to say I flunked the paper and had to do a resit. Man, oh man, I missed those good ole days.

Thanks for the info. That's what I wanted to know.

quote:Remo Williams posted on 11-02-2001 Hehe I'm well aware of the dangers in having and indie group located on our stations. The others in Prime had to talk long and hard to get me to consider it for logistical reasons. Now that this thread has implied that Intercorp is considering working with the Insurgents or at least parts of Intercorp. I'm not so sure our offer still stands at this point. Time will tell I suppose. I would think about who I want to deal with. Because dealings with the Insurgents would almost certainly make the Terran quadrant off limits for Intercorp members as far as GALCOM is concerned. Also keep in mind Prime Fleet will be almost every where in the terran Quadrant and beyond. I think you are getting the wrong impression from my questions and explanation guys. What I mean is this Intercorp being a indie organisation has no hold and control over our members doings on its members as per our charter. I just wanted to find out what your reaction is towards the situations that might arise. But the idea of holding Intercorp responsibility over the actions of the members is paradoxical as we're are NOT allowed to tell our members what to do with the exception of office bearers unlike the fleets. So treating Intercorp like you would a fleet would be unfair to the organisation. I would propose that each Intercorp member whether invited to set up bases on the respective fleet bases or not, are to be judged on their own merits instead of judging the whole of Intercorp based upon the actions of certain members.

Like Riga said, especially for the pacific castes, it is very hard to find out what an indie is doing for business. Thus question 6 above, although you might screen all sensitive information, an indie would still be able to see some important things like fleet deployment especially if the indie's office in on the said fleet's base. Even, if there is no indication of what the deployment is intended for, a indie may sell the information to the highest bidder for e.g. the fleet has left the base unguarded, ripe of invasion So my questions stands how are you gonna prevent 6 from happening? The way I see it, you can prevent 6 from happening by doing the following 1) signing of contract for non-disclosure 2) spying on said indie 3) rely on the honour of the indie (i.e. none) 4) whatever you might think of I know I'm going out on a limb here, but to be fair have to remind you fleeters about the risks of having indies on your base.

Thanks for the answers guys. That's what I like to see, more participation from the indies. What the other indies out there? What are your Q & As? quote:Epsilon posted on 11-01-2001 I have something to ask the traders and other non-combat money-makers here... if everything works and you make profit... what do you do with the cash?? Wander around saying you are the first billionaire? Need you ask? 1. Upgrading ship 2. Purchasing hired thugs i.e. bodyguards 3. Purchasing my very own base 4. Purchasing my very own planet 5. Purchasing Galcom

Thanks Nova, damn I feel old, really old

I'll bring the BBQ

Make that 8. It's not really what I expected especially the starfighters, damn, ugly as far as I'm concerned, Jar Jar Who? Hey, its Star Wars take or leave it, it will still be there. It's take time for it to sink into your mind and soul. So I'm going for Episode 2. Do you know by my calculation, George Lucas would most probably be dead by the time Episode 8 or 9 comes out. If it does, that is.

Right back on topic. The next question that comes into mind, affects the traders What are pricing guidelines a trader is expected to adhere to if he or she or it is selling commodities directly to a fleet member? Will the fleet allow the trader to gouge the hell out of the the fleeter or will the fleet purchase (based upon a certain guideline) on behalf of the fleeter and appropriate deductions be taken from the fleeter's salary? In other words do traders deal with the fleet or the individual commander directly?

Right, now that Intercorp is gaining members, and due to the offers for opening offices at various fleet HQs and bases, I would to get some comment from you fleeters 1) What kind of services are you expecting from Intercorp? 2) What kind of service do you think your fleet needs the most? 3) How would your fleet treat members of Intercorp? Whether they're being employed by your fleet or a hostile fleet? 4) What is your fleet's policy towards independents? Are they neutral, hostile or friendly? 5) Are you allowed to pursue vengeance or revenge in the event that a member of Intercorp DED you in the course of their contract? 6) Will your fleet require strict confidentiality on the parts of Intercorp members with regards to fleet deployement and various stuff? That's the questions that I have coming out of my head now. Will post more later

Other than the lack of multiplyer for Civ 3 (of which I don't really care) is it any good? What are major improvements that are discernable? What has been added or taken away from the game? Does the AI cheat or does it play by the rules of the game? Do you like it? Please elaborate. I'm looking forward to purchasing it, but would like you to hear your comments first before I put my money down.

Members of the Division are bound by all rules and regulations of Corporation and Consignee while they remain on any facility under the control of the Corporation or Division. Failure to abide by these rules will result in an appropriate penalty. Though members are bound by the rules of the Corporation and the Division while stationed at one of its bases, the Director of Consignee is bound by rules of the Division and the Corporation at all times and must uphold them. Failure to do so will result in being called before the Board of Directors for appropriate punishment. Consignee Inc requires that a charge of 4% commission will be paid to the division as a result of all transactions made by its members and their employees.

As far as I know, we have super carriers, carriers, super cruisers and heavy cruisers in BCM, so our contemporary definition of capital ships doesn't really apply in BCM.
