Sheesh guys, you give up too easily. Assuming we can't do a *complete* B5 mod(sounds, faces, weapons, hyperspace effect, etc), start with a "just for looks" mod. Find some B5 models from other games, and convert them to .3ds format. I already have models of the station and fighters in .OPT format for X-Wing Alliance and .mex format for HomeWorld. Of course, this is probably easier said than done...

Well, aside from it's practical value, it's semi-realistic. After all, if you can give orders via Tac-Ops while lounging on a beach, why not remotely control your OC?

Really? Then how come I can't order my ATV when I step out of it?

If there are still crew on the shuttle, yes. If there are enemies on board, it will still fly, but won't follow orders.

ROFL!! I wait one day, and you guys go completely insane! Hey...what's NEW AMERICA doing in the Earth region?! It's in midae!!

I noticed something odd...looking at my BCM game box, it shows not only Galcom HQ,but also Earth AND Earth's moon! And where is the battle with the fighters and that BCMk1 taking place? A REALLY big asteroid?! I want these issues addressed immediatly!! [ 01-15-2002: Message edited by: R_wilco ]

LOL!! I've read this before actualy, gets funnier every time. At first, I thought that someone might actualy take this seriously, until they mentioned "Lunix"

quote:Originally posted by Hellbinder[CE]: Just a thought, but because this is a niche game maybe the SC should consider NOT letting the majority of sites review the game. So far it seems like this is the best way to advertise BCM, IMHO. quote:Is it possible to do that? It makes me sad that the thousands of people out there who would love a game like this get turned off by such blatent predjudice. Sadly, I think I've coined a new term. 3000 AD Syndrome: Whenever the game company 3000AD is mentioned, critics with no one else to toast fire up the flamethrowers. I think it's sick, how they judge the game without even playing it half as long as we have, or at least I have, which isn't as much, but I STILL say it r0xx0rs. Now I have to find that message I posted, about "What's so great about BCM". In case I don't find it, in the words of SC: "As much or as little is controllable as the player wants" Name ONE other game that can beat that. You won't find one.

It ain't workin' EDIT: Whoops, it is now, hehe. Nice. Did you try tractoring that probe, or is that impossible? [ 01-11-2002: Message edited by: R_wilco ]

Um..just borrowing it sir.

quote:Originally posted by Fox: I believe it was always one of Resnig's life dreams to find the surface of Saturn...I'll loan him a shuttle and see how far he makes it. Damn Resnig letting intruders shut down my flight operations for minutes on end...*grumble* Heck, beam him to the surface

Visit Obsidia...try to tractor out the probe... I tried it with my EF Pilot, Rick Hunter... Well that went well Patient is in a coma from repeated attempts to rescue a crashed probe in a hostile enviroment. Delusional dream state commences Well, I wrecked both shuttles, but I can rescue that probe with this magic flying bicycle! "Rick Hunter was shot down today while attempting to fly a bicycle" There are no plans to add a "Bicycle" class fighter into BCM But seriously, I'm not even sure you CAN get that probe out of obsidia, my attempts have failed...maybe you'll have better luck. But take something BIG. [ 01-09-2002: Message edited by: R_wilco ]

At any rate, right now and until further notice, I'm focused on PC gaming. XBox gaming will come and I'll probably do a space sim and that first person shooter (once Croteam finish the engine port to DX8) I've wanted to do with the Serious Sam engine. Hmm...BCM spin-offs, anyone? Serious Sam, 3000! Seriously , I'm sure 3000 ad could do some awesome X Box titles. Nothing as shear in scope as BCM, since the X Box is made for twitch gamers, but I can see some twitch-based BC-series titles, like SC pointed out, based on FPS and space combat.

Testing mine...and I'll be away for a while. Sorry

Hmm...if I could design my own ship... P-21 Vandal with a Veritech upgrade A shuttle with a couple PTA turrets. I can't stand how the shuttles are un-armed. I bet I already know what the SC has in mind for this topic quote:As fast a Raven. As manoeuvrable as a Zodiac. As big as a Stormcarrier. Equipped with all the artifacts from design. 80 marines. An unlimited load of widow SS missiles, an intelligent CO.... hmmm.....

Somebody forgot to read the VCF...

Ok, I'm gonna try an experiment(and I don't care whether it will work or not, I'm just trying it ). Using an EF Pilot career, I'm using Playmod to add non-missile items to the FC's weapon bay. That includes artifacts(P.A.D. or RANDOM in a fighter?? ), minerals, and personnel. That's right, if this works, you can shoot Resnig out of a torpedo tube. EDIT: Yeesh, when he says ,"Use at your own risk", he means it. My BCM crashes to the desktop with an illegal operation. I'll try deleting all my saved games, but otherwise I'm re-installing. It won't be that hard to rebuild, especialy using Playmod... [ 12-31-2001: Message edited by: R_wilco ]

There are 4 characters I play the most as... Commander Roger Wilco So far, after spending days in the Earth region getting insanely rich, took his BCMk3(the GCVEureka) out to Sygan and captured his first station...only to lose all his pilots to a fershlugginer ODS Here's an excerpt from Rog's personal log... I can still hear the Supreme Commander yelling in my face back at the academy... WILCO! Mop up that floor, the Credian ambassador is due any minute! Wilco! That simulator is for OMEGA Testers ONLY! WILCO! If you send me your security code one more time, I'll see you out an airlock! Without a suit! You friggin' idiot! But, through some stroke of luck, I graduated from GalCom academy! Although, I still wonder if a rat climbed into the main grading computer... What wonders await us in the bosom of the cosmos? All we do know is, we will boldy CLEAN where no man has cleaned before! His story may be published in the next issue of "Space Piston" Private Max K0rn, EF Marine A marine with attitude. So far, I've been using enemy supply stations and destroying every single building. I've seen some wierd stuff with this AE. Using the jet pack to get on buildings, I noticed NPCs will just camp you at the bottom, instead of running around randomly. Very cool Ensign Rick Hunter, EF Pilot This character has died a total of 3 times...I guess the pilot career is not my forte. First, I died just after take-off. NEVER go into Tac-Ops with the Autopilot OFF, kids. After the med-techs brought him back(aka, I deleted and SNG ), he flew an X-22 Aurora, and flew all the way to the planet Obsidia. Thinking he could salvage that probe on his own was a BAD idea...first the hull was damaged, so he landed and climbed out of the ship. NOT a good idea, kids. A Vacc suit doesn't protect against a hostile atmosphere. Journalist Cid Maxim As a journalist for Space Piston, Cid has been able to get places Rog and Rick have never dreamed of going. Ironicly, this was not only the most boring scenario I've played, but also the safest. [ 12-30-2001: Message edited by: R_wilco ]

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll play it more once the MP patch is out...getting revenge on newbies who ask too many questions... "Come on, ask me how to land on a planet! HA HA HA HA!!!!

quote:Originally posted by Wolferz: SC, can I replace Resnig with Stanley H. Tweedle? LOL!! Only if you have the RANDOM weapon...

LOL, I tried this with a PS pilot scenario, only I fell off the building and couldn't get back to my fighter!

Well, keep in mind that almost all the things you'll see in the game are randomly generated per the game's nueral(sp?) net AI. So, you really CAN have a big, randomly generated capital ship battle...in time. Remember, the Gammulans have to have a REASON for hating you first... EDIT: If I KNEW how to spell anything even close to "Nueral", I probably would've gotten it right [ 12-16-2001: Message edited by: R_wilco ]

Despite that I doubt anyone will need to contact me, when in Rome... Primary email: [email protected] Secondary email: [email protected] MSN Messenger name: Space_Chief While I'm not exactly sure what happened, I hope things get better soon. EDIT: Ok, now I AM sure what happened. I don't agree that the forums should be shut down permanently, but I have no problem with the SC taking a break. [ 12-16-2001: Message edited by: R_wilco ]

To each his own, I suppose. I'd write a review, but I'm not a game reviewer But, I'd definetly give it 8/10. It's awesome(duh ) but it's not complete either. As for the typo, the best jokes are the unintentional ones... Hmm..Love is a Battlefield Millenium??

[RP] Sir...the shuttle's losing power fast! What...! But, it was pulling at twice our maximum speed! She don'na have poower cap'n! All stop. Bring the shuttle back, but NOT the pilot. [/RP] Yes, I tried. Derek yer bum, you ruined my whole battle plan! I barely pulled the ship out before the Gammulans started sending Storm Carriers!
