Thanks, Jeff. The reason I'm still on the boards as much as I am, is that my 10 hr+ save file was invalidated at like 1.0.02 RC5, and I haven't bothered to start a new one..... And I decided to work a bit on the Orion Fleet Handbook. And, look at my preview PDF I posted (it's just the table of contents). Section 8.2 might be of interest to you. Nova, over and out.

Read this thread, on the Orion Forums. And voice your opinions, please.... Speak up! Seriously! All 7 reads to that thread (at the moment), are from me....... [ 12-14-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

Pixan Starstation -> Lennen, Sirius. In the Terran quadrant, it's the most heavily populated Raider/Mercenary/Assassin station out there. You'll find lots of action (Wraith HQ is nearby), and in multiplayer, you shouldn't have any problems getting backup. (Most of the mercs/assassins/raiders I know launch from Pixan. I used to.) Nova, over and out. [ 12-14-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

Eh... Intercorp's been busy with other affairs. It seems that Riga and Jeffery both got themselves BCM, and have only posted around 4 or 5 times since, all of which were game reports and notices warning about their little leave of absence...

Not to mention Tom Cruise for Captain Dread, the protagonist(who is promoted to Commander of a BC after a Gammulan attack on Earth) Heh. Not important... Let's see... -Mother died while at early age. Father died 2999-3000, after a Gammulan raid on research vessel. (Nova's father was a scientist.) -Nova went AWOL right before graduating from the GalCom Academy. (3000; read Into the Darkness in the RP Threads) -Became a mercenary. (3000-3008) -Joined Orion Fleet, after good performance in Operation Golgotha. (3008; read Into The Fire in the RP Threads) -Wrote the Orion Fleet Handbook, and also work as a Newbie Orientation Officer (Basically an Unofficial Assistant Commandant for the Academy). (3010-3015+) ...Those are the basics. I really need to fill in more specifics, especially in those mercenary years. And about Sean Connery. I'd love to hear what the SC says about his character.... Let's see who he has in mind.... quote:Originally posted by Tac: I get Jackie Chan!!!! Woot! Erm...... I think I'll just move past this post today... ----- Nice idea Smiley. In BC , we could run that by giving away free GalCreds for the winners. Don't know how we could run it, though.....

Actually, I believe it is xCV, which would stand for (GalCom/Insurgent/EarthCom/Undesignated) Command Vessel quote:Originally posted by Commander Phantom: My ship is the UCV-Enterprise. Stormcarrier class. Will my ship be added to that big list? First off, an Indie (UCV guy) can't have a Stormcarrier. Only the Gammulan Military is allowed that. You're limited to cruisers (or less); see the asset choices page for help and info on what classes you can select. It all depends on your caste. (i.e. Mercenary, Assassin, Trader, etc.) Finally, there already is a ship named the Enterprise. (See here.) Once you register in the Fleet DB, your name is instantly put on the list. That's how the list became in the first place; another great job of Tin. And if you're registering as an Indie, then head to the Indie Forum (Misc. Race/Caste Forum) at the bottom of the list, and post in the thread about the registration. On registration, you cannot select your ship type. You'll have to post it on that forum in that thread, to have an admin make the selection for you. Choose wisely.

Well said, Jay.

See page 51 about waypoints. I've written up a condensed version here: You go into Tacops, and "observe" the planet/moon you want. Click on a general area of where you want to go, or click the "zoom to" command if there's a specific mission zone or starbase you're looking for. On the bottom of the screen, click on the waypoint key, make sure that the "CC" is selected, click "add", and then "setpos" and click where you want it to go. Now go initiate planetfall. (Target the planet, and press Shift-9, or fly into it's gravitational pull; either way's cool.) You'll end up where you put that waypoint. Nova, over and out.

You know, it doesn't even have to be disabled or show an SOS for you to tow it for a reward.... Also, it seems that if you get close enough to an active enemy to tractor it, it won't be able to attack the shuttle or whatever that's towing it. ------ GCV Supremacy Ship Stats Mission Time: 15:35 Integrity: 99% Casualties: 1 Combat Kills: 3 Combat Captures (Enemy): 6 Capital Ships, 3 Interceptors Trading Runs: 6 Inventory + Cash in Account Combined: 35+ Million GalCreds ----- Most of that cash came from my capturing of ships, the rest came from my mining operations, and trade runs...... Capturing is pretty profitable, if ya ask me.

*more people groan and mumble* IRC would be nice. Or something else. I still wanna see what SC has in mind. Either way, it'll be great!

ROTFLMAO!!!! You guys are making me think twice about my NWW position now..... j/k [ 12-12-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

Being the NWW (Newbie Welcome Wagon), I'll give you the info, instead of having you search mindlessly through the manual. I'm doing this because people out there have been mistaking the manual pages.... How? Beats the hell out of me.... (RP) "Go to page 25." "Nope. Nothing there. It's the page with the pictures of the pilots at the top, right?" "No, no, no!!! That's page 55... I said 25." "Okay...... Hm.. It's got "5.3 LOGISTIX Computer" at the top... This page doesn't help a bit." "Grrr.. IIRC, that's page 37. Are you sure you know how to read English? Or even just numbers?" "*mumbles*..." "*sigh* Why should I even bother....." (/RP) You can't equip different weapons on your AE (Alter-Ego; as in, your character). A commander is limited to what he's got. So are the marines you come with. This means you can't change their weapons as well. (If I'm correct.... http://www.3000ad.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_happy.png' alt='^_^'>; ) If you are a commander, first-person weapons are only for trade purposes only. Welcome aboard. Now go register the game, put your system profile link in your sig (see here for help on this), and get ready for a wild ride! See you in multiplayer. Nova, over and out. Disclaimer: The Role Play (RP) bit at the top is purely fiction. Any similarities to actual events or people, living or dead, are completely coincidental. As you were, cadets.

Then I'm calling Keanu Reeves as Nova.

Rule 2302: That's why vets, like me, are around. Rule 2303: And you don't collect 200 GalCreds...... [ 12-12-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

lol

Then that's a Windows XP OS crash, because a DirectX or game-based crash would produce it's own box, instead of the Windows one. At least that's my guess. I just got XP, so I wouldn't know if BCM made a different box, but I know it did under ME and 98.......

I'd love to see some of the RP stories (the epics like Preemptive Strike) turned into books someday. And movies?? Wow! I'd love to hear more about this. Update: Post 900!!!!!!! [ 12-12-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

Raising the bar? With my limited understanding of what BCO is to be, I say he's tearing down the bar, chopping it into pieces, and building a whole new bar on a brand new plane! Can it get better than this? Most likely.

quote:Originally posted by Mindglow: How does one set the altitude of the way point? The instruction book does not address this. From what I've picked up from the SC, you don't. It's pre-set to around ground level, I think.... I could be wrong though.

*bump*

;;; .......*cough* Yeah, um.... Er, I haven't actually had a talk with you about that, have I? Well, just keep the Outlaw Star. Make sure it stays in good condition. I'm telling you to take care of it like this, 'cause officially, I had it first. (Oh, come on.... I still use Outlaw Star desktop wallpaper, for gods sake! Eh, no matter. I'm planning to replace it with a Mac Hall one soon, anyway.....) And Outlaw, you really know how to piss off this moderator! But it's all in fun. Just goes to show you what a true f***ing idiot I was (actually, still am inside). See you around, Nova (BTW, see that Mac Hall link above. That's just become my favorite comic ever... Since like 2 days ago. (Thanks Chris/Sebastian/Commander Cypher or whatever alias he wants to be called today.) Some of it is pretty good stuff. Just check their archives and pick any random date; it's good either way.) [ 12-11-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]

...But great n00bs are still n00bs. I'd love to see you guys try and prove yourselves when multiplayer comes out.... That'll be the day. And, judging from the amount of newbies, and exactly how they've been active on the forums, I guess that'll be the fastest way to get recognition here, now. Otherwise, you're back to the old method of letting SC yell at you at least twice, and learning the lessons of actually looking before leaping. (Or posting.)
