Yeah, I second that. I was fighting against an NPC carrier. Got his shields, started hitting his armour, and only when his armour fell below 30% did I start seeing those 4 numbers (engine, weapons, reactor, launch bays) in CVD begin to decrease. In my case, as soon as my shields are gone and armour begins taking damage all my systems even the 4 mentioned above are almoust instantly rendered useless. It would really be nice if non essential systems were damaged first and the primary ones to go last, kinda like in the AIs case.

Try downloadign the EP1 demo and EP2 demo on a 56k. (and if you don't know both demos are over 100+mb)

LOL, I can't. Too funny.

SC used to RP? Why did he stop? Did he get bored?

My initials are D.S. and I still can't recode the game.

Yeah, read this --> http://www.3000ad.com/cgibin/ultimatebb.cg...c&f=22&t=000005 for how to place a link to your system profile info and how to go about doing it. Also, I have Creative soundblaster live 5.1, don't have any sound problems. Different system configurations can have different effects, so if you have the same soundcard that I do, but you have problems with it and I don't then something on your computer is interfeering with it's operation, maybe it's IRQ setting, maybe some program running in the background, it can be pretty much anything, or something you wouldn't even think would cause a problem. As for other things my guess is it will be pretty much the same answer. But since you are asking SC, he can tell you his own opinion.

I use 8 fighters at a time, you do know that you don't need to have a pilot and a co-pilot to fly the IC, and keep 4 ics in reserve in case the others get damaged, that way I can do a quick swap and have a brand new figter out there in no time. But if you want to have all 12 fighter out there in one time, then sure, you can ask SC for more pilots and hope he agrees. [ 12-06-2001: Message edited by: Soback ]

Ok, now we can talk on the same page. First thing is register the game and post a link to your "System Profile Info" in your signature so that SC can help you. Then when SC reads your problem in the morning my guess is he will try to recreate the things you are talking about and post his findings here. Also update your game to the latest patch, I believe it's RC6, you can check on that in the other thread, "IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS" section "BCM V1.0.02 Release Candidate" thread. Do a clean reinstall of BCM, delete all of the saved game (if the patch doesn't do it) don't use your backed up saves. And just wait till the morning when SC himself can help. Good night.

Also let me explain something. You keep stating that a thousand games run fine on your computer but BCM has problems. Well, let me explain this, all the computers are configured differently, they have different settings, different hardware/software installed so it's not the developers responsibility to make their product work on your exact machine, it would be just impossible. A developer can make sure that the product works on general machine with general settings, he can't take into account your exact system configuration so it falls onto you to make sure your system can run it. As for other games running with little or no adjustments, well, they are not BCM and that's that. So quit it. Stop saying how it just sucks that you have to reboot 10 times and reconfigure so that you can play only this one game and then change everything back. Where else have you seen such posts? Other people have problems with some crashes and some other things but you are the only one who has to go through some absurd ammount of trouble so it's clear that your machine is drastically different and that being the case don't bash BCM for not working right.

It wasn't your language, but your attitude. Also, BCM doesn't have problems that you stated in your posts, it's a conflict between your system and BCM, and I can prove that because it runs fine on my computer and on many others. The reason I am baring down on you is because you sound like it's BCMs not your system is responsible for all the problems you have. Also I am not sucking up to SC, I take the things you say about BCM personally just because it means that much to me.

All I can say is you little ignorant noob. With this attitude you will be lucky not to be booted from here let alone someone taking their time to help you. If SC will decide to help you then consider yourself lucky and him very generous. As for getting help with anything else besides runing the game I don't think that forum members would take kindly to you. All it takes is a little respect and different attitude. You behave like SC owes you a million and so is everyone else. Learn to be polite and you would get help and people here would actually care about your problems as for now --> read my first paragraph again.

Well, Akira, I checked out all the brances. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, I even talked to Coast Guard. None can guarantee, and the other way just takes too long (for example you can only apply for flight academy once a year, and if you don't get in for whatever reason but otherwise eligible you have to wait for another year to roll around to apply again), so that's just a waste of time, and I don't want any other job and fly on weekends. The way I am now, I pay a lot of money (loans, education grants and such) but I am flying almoust 7 days a week and am pretty close to be getting paid to fly instead of paying to fly. So I look it this way, if they can't offer me something I would really love to do and would really contribute then forget it, I wouldn't even want the enlistment bonus or any other money the military would offer me, nor do I want to fly a fighter, I want some nice big fat plane, transport, bomber, tanker, whatever, basically already trained (all they would have to do is re-educate me with military knowledge) and am very stuborn so there's no way I would fail the boot camp or whatever they threw at me. So instead I am doing this the hard way, taking out loans, and basically on my own, but at least I am doing what I dreamed of since I can remember. So in my opinion they lost out, either way for me it's good.

LOL. Medic flying a shuttle. "Hmmm... What does this button do? What about this one... Nope, well, third times the charm,,...(computer voice - self destruct sequence initianted)."

You might get help if you register and put your system profile link in your signature.

3DFX third party drivers. Some even claim to support DX8. Use at your own risk. http://www.voodoofiles.com/type.asp?cat_id=1

LOL, are you kidding me, if someone besides Derek would have posted a thread with a name like this, his butt would be ripped appart in a second, before SC would even have had a chance see the thread, but since SC posted this thread himself we can't really yell at him can we? Well, maybe his other personality can come in here and we can have a chat with the one that posted it.

Yeah, I know. The officer thing wouldn't be a problem, but the flight school is application/acceptance based. So you could be an officer but you are not guaranteed to be accepted in their flight school, that's why the recruiter couldn't promise me that, he was trying to push me towards something else, but when I kept insisting he would just say we would discuss it a little later and work everything out, so first he was saying let's see if I would score high enough on the practice test, when I did, he said lets see if I would score high enough on the actual test, when I did, he said let's see my paperwork, then after that he gave me the truth about how you get to be a pilot and how it's basically not garanteed and started pushing me towards some other choices so I just decided to continue with my civilian flying. Well, too bad for them, because they wouldn't even have to train me much (in groundschool) because by that time I was already instrument rated private pilot. Anyway, you can only apply for flight school if you are below the age of 25, and the closer to that age you get the slimer your chances so I doubt I would apply later on in life.

Geez man, NEAR the station, not TO the station. That got me thinking that you beamed TO the station, and I know that you can't do that so I asked.

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: I will also be significantly reducing the repair times at stations and on board your ship as well, by making the engineers n times faster. My plan is to have the longest repair time not take more than 30-45 mins at a station. ack! Only in mulitplayer right, or will repairs take a lot shorter time in sp too? Right now I average on about 1 min on system that is lightly damaged, 5 mins half damaged and 10 mins completly destroyed. I wouldn't like the feel in sp if I could completly redo a destroyed system in 3 minutes, if it's destroyed, gotta pay the price, so for sp that wouldn't be a +. But for mp that's great, 30 minutes is a reasonable ammount of time to overhaul your ship.

I got the one where Resnig says "Marines are engaged in combat on deck 2" here's something more politicaly correct "Marines are sensibly asking intruders to leave deck 2"

As for mandatory, I don't think so. I would rather be flying the crapiest planes in civil aviation for 4 years, getting flight hours and doing what I love to do then spend 4 years doing something else in military and hating my life. One of the most major reasons I didn't enlist is that they couldn't 100% assure me that I would be flying in military.

Tried to enlist. Talked to recruiting officer, scored very high on the test, almoust went through medical, but then backed out when they couldn't guarantee me a job as a pilot. So I said forget it and continued with my civilian flying.
