I just saw the screenshots for BCM. My gawd man, you guys are going all out. /me mouth is watering in anticipation

Oh yeah, one more thing. If you want to get rich fast, read below the line. If you don't want to spoil the game, stop reading now. --------------------------------------------- Buy Deflector Arrays at the Earth Spacestation then fly to the Pluto Spacestation and sell them there. Just keep doing this back and forth. I am now a billionaire WOOHOO!!! Took me a day to get this rich. Now to figure out how to upgrade everything on the ship...

I learned how to use the shuttle in the debris fields tonight. Forgive me for not knowing the names of things or the correct terminology. I just started playing a few days ago. Anyway, fly the Battlecruiser to the debris field (you might not HAVE to do this but this is just what I do). Then, be on the bridge view (you can probably do this anywhere else, too) and click on the shuttle (it says SC1 or SC2 etc. on the far right) and send it out. Then click on it again and pick "orders" and click cargosweep. Then I go into the shuttle view by ALT F5 (for the first shuttle) and press 'A' for autopilot. The shuttle then goes around collecting cargo. You can speed the game up by pressing CTRL A and slow it down by CTRL SHIFT A. After the shuttle collects all the cargo, go back to your Battlecruiser bridge view (press ESC) then give "orders" to the shuttle to RTB (return to Battlecruiser). After it docks, go into either Logistic Computer or Tactical (I can't remember but it's one of those 2). You can get into them by clicking anywhere on the screen then click 'systems' then pick the computer. You wanna look for something that says "Loadout" then pick the shuttle then click where it says "Unload all cargo". This seems to work good for me. Hope this helps.

Haha! Maybe I can find some sexy alien chick that would be willing to try it on for me Thanks guys. The more I learn about this game, the better it gets. /me is hooked Commander NoName lol

I have a quick question. I just found some illegal leather and totally forgot that it's a violation to enter a Galcom spacestation with it. So now I have one violation. Is there any way to keep this from happening? Do I have to find a spacestation that will buy it from me? Or is there some way I can discard the cargo? TIA

Hello everyone. First of all, I wanted to say that this is truly a great game. I never heard of it until I saw a link in a Gamespy email to download it from Fileplanet. At first it was intimidating because of the depth of the game but I have been playing it for a few days and starting to get the hang of it. I have a voodoo card so I lucked out with that. I have been reading a lot of posts in this forum and have learned a lot from you guys and this has made the game even more enjoyable. I too used to play Elite on the Commodore 64 and thought it was great. This game reminds me of that. (except without vector graphics hehe). I do have a few newbie questions but I won't ask them right now until I have read all the posts and made sure it wasn't already covered. I will be keeping my eye out for BCM. Keep up the great work man!
