Sorry man. you can't deploy ODS systems, you can't repair other entities, and you can't tractor an object in orbit ------------------ Cmdr.

1) Been covered numerous times before, check out that lil' "Search" function 2) I'm not 100% sure, but it _may_ be because certain cargo is meant for certain cargo bays. So you can unload everything you want into Cargo Bay 1, but Cargo Bay 2 isn't equipped to handle the stuff you're trying to unload into it. I might have just been having too much Pepsi again though, so someone correct me if I'm wrong. 3) I'd assume you mean docked with the Starstation? Nope, gotta do it the manual way 4) What's happening is that your crew will rest for the duration that's needed while repairing, then go back to work. All this happens whilst your ship is being fixed at Galcom. Been covered in another thread or two, check around. Hope this helps! And someone correct me if I'm whacked upside the head... ------------------ Cmdr.

Argh, E3.. the one thing that keeps reminding me each year why I hate living up in Canada (no offense to fellow Canucks) ------------------ Cmdr.

Nope, if he does that it's too open to hacking.. then we'd have newbies floating about with the kill count of the average Veteran.. of course, it'd be easy to tell who had hacked since the rest of them would probably just set everything at 999 and laugh psychotically.. untill we punted 'em from the game anyways But, this is off-topic of the thread.. I'm sure the SC has a handle on this ------------------ Cmdr.

No 3 hours go by without the page being refreshed by me! Uwa hahahha! ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Just tested it now, I haven't seen any either ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

As you guys know, I'm with a nutty little page known as Hardnews (used to be with TacticalPlanet, but we moved on to bigger and better things), and we're presently undergoing a re-design. Thing is, we're gonna be cranking out a lot of content like there's no tomrrow, but we need more manpower! Interested? We need people who can do things like news, articles, reviews, previews, interviews, scrub the boss' feet every few days, etc, and be funny as hell while doing it. Knowing HTML is definately a plus, and heck, you just might get popular while you're at it! Currently there aren't really any paying positions, but we're building PR contacts and you'll probably be getting quite a bit of stuff to review, games, hardware, whatever. If you think you're up to it, gimme a yell, my ICQ number is in my sig, or email me ([email protected]) Of course, if you don't have ICQ, I'd suggest you get it, it's the best way we stay in contact. I'm posting this here since I know quite a few quality people frequent around here, and someone might just have enough time and interest to help us out here Come on people! Do it for Parias! ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Hah hah yea.. check my thread a ways down, "Woa, whassup with the forums?" for details on that.. Nice to see the page back up, I nearly had a heart attack when it died and didn't come up again the next day.... of course, my hopeless gaming addiction quickly put aside any fears I had, at least for a few hours ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Nonononono, can't you see? He got the 3dfx card from some nutty store that "zips" all of their hardware up, despite the catastrophic damage that might be incurred upon attempting such an act! And furthermore, they weren't kind enough to leave him with a manual, forcing him to turn to us for assistance with the matter! *cough* Er, on a more serious note, yea, I think that he IS referring to the drivers, the drivers posted on this page more specifically.. so basically do what the SC said ------------------ Cmdr.

Vorpal: Yes, 31 times, the only person addicted enough to do it too To date I haven't heard of any other person who's beaten it that many times, although it's been awhile since I checked the FS2 UBB... ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

That was classical You guys can check out the original "Whassup!" commercial at AdCritic, along with a few humorous versions of it. Actually there's funny stuff all over the place there, check it! ------------------ Cmdr.

Thanatos: I might be picking up Starlancer as soon as today, so I'll let you all know how it compares to Freespace 2 (since I've beaten it 31 times ) Canusa: I've been playing KA multiplayer to death ever since it was released, and believe me, it RAWKS! Nothing beats a perfectly-timed ambush on a helpless Federation cruiser (while you're in a .. say, Romulan Centurion), only to drift in front of the ship and take 5 phaser blasts and a couple of photon torps to the arse just as you're cloaking again.. then you run to the nearest Solar Corona to hide and make repairs, and go at it again ...Or you just do it the Klingon way and ram him to death or something, but that's generally not too feasable.. hehe As for what games yours truely is looking forward to, I'd have to say any future games to the Freespace series right off the top of my head.. as well as Tachyon (the demo was pretty nice, left me with a lot of questions in the end) And of course there's Team Fortress 2... and my Ground Control beta CD should be in soon.. that game looks pretty sweet. ------------------ Cmdr.

You kidding? My "humor" folder is overflowing with hundreds of things! ..Okay, well most of them are comics, but a few of them are similar ones to that If I dig any more up I'll let you know... Oh, and remember to check out stuff like "Pico" and (one of my personal favorites) the "Final Fantasy Blood" movie! It's all great stuff ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

LOL SC If you guys want some more nutty, and generally slightly disturbing action, be sure to pop into Newgrounds, the page is hilarious! ------------------ Cmdr.

If you want another look at the game, try here. This sums up my feelings pretty nicely (aside from the installation probs, which gave me no trouble) ------------------ Cmdr.

Well, here's some of the stuff I use on a regular basis... LOL - Laughing out Loud (or just used randomly for no apparent reason) L33t - Means "leet" or more coherently, "elite". Basically used when I feel like saying something is cool in a lazy attitude. Da - A random acknowledgement I use when I'm feeling too lazy/are too busy to just say "yes". Phear - My way of saying "fear", be afraid when I say this, very afraid! Rgr - Used while in a game.. while some might think this means "roger", it more likely means "I'm too damn busy getting shot at right now to reply coherently, yell at me later!" IMHO - In My Humble Opinion. I've got an opinion, so listen to me! BRB - Be Right Back.... sometime within the next 4 hours (kidding). BBL - Be Back Later This may not be 100% understandable, or maybe it is, but hopefully it will help you, and everyone else after you comprehend and deal with the gaming community appropriately. If you need anymore explanations, don't hesitate to ask! ------------------ Cmdr.

Indeed.. and believe me, if I spot any so called Insurgents rattling on other Insurgents while they're limping back to base barely in one piece, I'll be sure to let everyone know... after I give em a couple of "friendly nudges" But honestly, I've got some good confidence that this game ain't gonna go to the poopers online-wise. Thanks to the community we've got now, we've practically already got our own policing force going, even if it isn't official ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

ROFL SC, you MUST tell us if you get a response to that one ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Nice to see ya back Hamblin, I trust your... "trip"... went.. well? UWA HAHA HAHA HAHAHAH! *Continues cackling evily to himself while muttering on about psychotic plans and other incoherent nonsense* ------------------ Cmdr.

I'm so addicted to gaming that I couldn't possibly give it up. Not 5 minutes goes by without images of some game I've played lately flashing through my head... I'd get 5 meters from the computer and then collapse into uncontrollable spasms, destroying any nearby furniture and scaring everyone! UWA HAHAHAHAH! ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

Phish, if you like space shooters at all (I'm insane about em) you'll like Tachyon I found it to be a pretty damn quality game.. Heh, believe me Will, you'd probably have more fun blowing an hour downloading pr0n (but then again, who wouldn't? ), because like I said, if you've played any up to date FPS game, you've seen everything here before. I still can't get over their "Save crystal" decision... *shudders* ------------------ Cmdr. Parias Spectre Fleet Chief Engineer, Starstation Destiny ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 Staff member at HardNews "I took this job because I just really love to blow sh*t up!"

So, wanna know if you guys should download that hefty 102 meg demo? Whelp, here's my thoughts.. It's... interesting. For one, I'm instantly swatting off some marks because they opted to use a "save crystal" system for saving your games, meaning you can't save anywhere you like. Now, in an FPS game, I just pretty much find this unacceptable.. damnit, if I want to save somewhere, then I'll save! The graphics look pretty good, but it's nothing exactly jaw-dropping. I've seen it all before already.. they provided too little, too late. As for the gameplay? Well, it's your average fare from what I've seen so far.. you run around and kill stuff. Wheee. So what's the verdict? Well, if you're REALLY curious, check it out, but if you're bandwith impaired or just don't have the time for a big download, avoid it. It's nothing really revolutionary, and I've quite frankly had more fun playing through Freespace 2 31 times. (Okay okay, so Freespace 2 is a space sim, but hey, it's my quickie damnit! ) ------------------ Cmdr.

Yes people, hell HAS frozen over, either that or the world will horribly explode sometime in the near future... For those of you hiding under a rock, Daikatana (or as I call it, Delaykatana) has finally smacked it's gold date. What could this possibly mean for the world? I'm not entirely sure, since the server I'm nabbing the new demo off of is going hellishly slow.. but we shall know soon enough if this infamous game is worth the hype or not... stay tuned for my nutty first look ------------------ Cmdr.
