  1. Nope, 12.
  2. Yeah, I did, that's where I got the info on artifacts. Have a question about the online appendix too. I wanted to print out all the different types of ships, but the page is too wide to fit and all I get from the printer is the left half of the screen, how can I make it so that the ships section in the online manual fits the screen and my printer.
  3. Read post #2.
  4. Yeah, you do both, study the BCM manual, and play.
  5. Press "CTRL+G" to take a screenshot and it is saved in your "SHOTS" folder.
  6. The only advice I have is download and apply the patch and set your desktop depth and resolution the same with the game, reset your video cards options to default and start troubleshooting, also make sure you have no virus or other programs running in the background and no weird options turned on in your computer configuration.
  7. SC, I said this before and I will say it again. YOU ARE THE MAN.
  8. An interface like for FC would be awesome. That way you can group the marines (place X by the marines you want to issue an order to) and that would be much easier then giving them orders one by one.
  9. What size is the patch that you have?
  10. Oh man, I was in a major space battle. Got 10 intruders onboard. So I turned off launch control, and let my combat officer take care of them (I like him a lot this time around). Then when the battle was over about 15 minutes later, I still had 7 intruders onboard. I started killing them off one by one but 2 climbed into shuttle craft 3 and 2 into shuttle craft 4, and then another 2 into figher craft 10. Then I suddenly 4 more intruders appeared. I was POed. They damaged my systems and were running around the ship like crazy. So I docked with the space station, waited a minute and undocked. 8 prisoners onboard. Then I decided to fix my damaged systems and what do I see? I have no spare parts, my minerals are half gone and a large chunk of my cargo is missing. I checked the shuttles the intruders were hiding in and found all of the stuff there. Am I glad I disabled that launchh control, I never expected them to not only steal the shuttles but my stuff along with them. The whole thing (space battle, getting rid of those damn intruders) took me almoust an hour, I also picked up some quite nice things after the space battle and placed one mining drone on the planet. Now I am off to fixing my ship and placing another mining drone. This trully is the best simulation ever.
  11. I looked in the online manual and found the info about the artifacts. In the manual I found info on what upgrades there are for shields, armour, where can I find info on the engine upgrades and whatever else can be upgraded. Also what kind of cargo do you need on CC. I know you need food, medpacks, combat packs, but what about armour for troops, what kind of armour. Anyone has this info, or a website link that contains this info. Thanks.
  12. What incredibly comlex? You download the patch. You put the patch in BATTLECRUISER MILLINNIUM folder and you execute the patch, the patch updates the game, you start the game as normal, screen pops up, click continue and game plays. It works fine.
  13. Man, that was fast, SC you rock. Go get some rest.
  14. How is it that you have 639mb or ram? Describe the problem, does it quit during install, during game start, any errors? When exactly does the crash occur (how far into the install, or if it's installed then is it before or after the logo)
  15. Yeah, see, Shirley actually helps, not only does he make BCM and SC popular but he filters out the kind of player we get here too.
  16. You need to be a space marine to walk on the space ship or station. They have magnetic boots that secure them onto the surface. I haven't tried sticking to a ship like that but why don't you try the space marine career and see how that works.
  17. ASUS P4T motherboard (1005) ASUS V8200 GeForce 3 Deluxe T2 (21.82a) P4 1.6 processor Creative Soundblaster Live 5.1 (3227?) W98SE with all service packs DX 8.1 Windows Media Player 7.1 Desktop resolution 32bit Screen Area 1024by768 Game settings all 3 options are set for 32bit depth Game screen set to 1024by768 Here's the problem. After I play for about 20 to 35 minutes the game starts slowing down and after about 45 to 55 minutes becomes horribly slow. The only aid I found for this is to restart the whole system, restarting just the game doesn't help. So I save the game, restart the system, quit all the programs in the background, turn off virus protection, reload the game from where I left off and play it for another hour or so. So far I only played continuously for 2 hours (that's the longest I survived so far ) Don't know if it's a problem with BCM or just my computer, but if anyone has any type of fix or something that can either take care of this all together or maybe extend the time between restarts a bit it would be great. Well, ok, gonna go continue playing for the 3rd hour, hope I survive. [ 11-22-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]
  18. I died gazillion times before that. 3 times with my CC on planets, 2 times in space battles, and A LOT of times as a marine.
  19. YES, haha, I have survived 3 big battles, deployed 2 mining drones, repaired my cargo bay, cloned 2 pilots and repaired 4 interceptors. Gotta take a little break now. So it's been 2 hours and I am still alive.
  20. quote:Originally posted by R_wilco: Second, when I play as a Gammulan Commander, can me and my crew at least look a LITTLE Gammulan? They don't, in fact, in ANY non-human scenario, the commander and crew look human. I guess you don't want us to play as anything but human... SC might do some extra icons for other races, but for now all we have is human. You will look Gammulan in first person mode, try it. [ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: Soback ]
  21. Can you imagine how much a new CC would cost?
  22. Ok, this is getting weird. Whenever I just to a different space region and try to target a planet using the NID display the pop up tag gets bigger. Now I found out that when I click on the lowest vertical icon on the right of the screen ( where you can switch stations, issue orders to command craft, and fighters) I see that the choices to switch stations, save and exit, and basically everything below the choice for CC orders are not there. I can't play anywhere but my starting space region. Need help.
  23. Yeah, but it's a V8200 GeForce 3 Deluxe T2. There's drivers listed for V8200 GeForce 3 also. That's what makes it weird.
  24. Some fat people do have a desease which messes with their metabolism. But mostly, if you regulate your eating right then you will loose weight. When body is starved of nutrients it metabolizes fat first then muscles and then when it starts eating away at bones you basically die. So if you eat right and exercise, even if you weight 400 pounds you will loose weight. You just gotta make sure you don't starve your body of vitamins that it needs to function right and metabolize that fat.
  25. Here's my view on racial profiling. Me and my buddy driving down the street. The neighbourhood I live in is predominatly rich Chineese. So a mercedes pulls up next to us with a Chineese driver. We started counting and betting if next mercedes would have a chineese driver or not. Guess what 8 out of 10 mercedes had Chineese drivers. Next thing. If osama wants to terrorise America, osama is Arabic, he has Arabic followers, who is he most likely to send fighting for his cause? If you say anything besides Arab you are not so smart. Point being is I never saw a Chineese terrorist blow up a plane in USA. So racial profiling should be there and it works. I went to Sacramento a couple of times. That city has a huge Russian population. I am Russian and was walking down the street with my friends, a guy walks up to us and asks us for a stereo. We said well how the hell are we supposed to get a stereo for him, he said "Well you are Russian aren't you" The guy wasn't trying to be insulting, he was dead serious. The thing is, there's a lot of Russian thugs down there who break into cars and rip out stereos so the reputation builds and now if you have a stereo stolen out of the car in Sacramento you will suspect a Russian person, and guess what 80% says you will be right. So if a cop stops me in Sacramento and asks me a couple of questions just because I am Russian and a Russian person is suspected of have commited some crime, I have no problem with that. The problem with Racial profiling occurs only when the authority starts maliciously exercizing racial profiling. Then you have cops harrasing people just because they are of a certain race. So should racial profiling be legal, YES. But people in authority possitions should be very carefull with exercising it.
