Rattler

If prisoners are allowed Pirate, go out and buy your striped suit NOW! I accept your half hearted, somewhat timid challenge and await the time and place that such a meeting may occur. May Galcom have mercy on your soul because I will not. "Nuff Said!" Dismissed! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

Yep, "Uncle Rattler" has a copy as well. Hmmm.....Mayhaps we can gather on a channel and slug it out in preparation for upcoming challenges of BCM? ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that there are members of Galcom Fleets who put thier Ships, Squadrons, and Wings on a higher priority than the Loyalty to their SELF CHOSEN Fleet? If any of you good Galcommie Commanders are actually out there and are reading/listening, Your Ship, Your Squadron, Your Wing, etc. All belong to Your Fleet. The above mentioned assets all belong to your Fleet. They are simply tools to carry out the directives of that Fleet, who is directed by GALCOM. If I were your FLEET Commander, I'd be a little ticked at this, unless it's a directive from your Fleet Commander. In this case, it should be readily evident by the order of Precident in your Fleet Commander's Signature as well. But SOME of those Fleet Commanders don't even put in their Signatures. I have to consciously question your overall loyalty to your Organization (GALCOM) and have to re-evaluate my recruitment efforts. It does appear that Galcom does indeed have Rogue Squadrons/Wings/Fleets who believe themselves truely independent operational units. This being true, BCM's going to be one Gigantic Slug-Fest and One may not always count upon Inter-Galcom Cooperation in hunting down us poor defenseless Insurgents! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

OK Gents, I'm thinking of making some Organizational changes and adding a couple. I need for EVERY Insurgent to register and post on our new message board at http://pub8.ezboard.com/bspectrestarstationcommlink We have some serious planning to get done and I don't see too many participants on that link. ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

Neither have I and I maintain the complete ships registry for the Insurgent Fleet. (RP)Now that it has my undivided attention, I'll be sure to issue a "destroy on sight" order and place a bounty on the good Commander's head who is flying it. "Nuff Said!" BTW, Didn't I already say that I hated Raiders and Merc's? Being a self admitted Merc, Flying the colors of an enemy (that would be Insurgents to you Merc) is an act of espionage in any definition and usually is punishable by death. Just thought you might want to know that. (/RP) This is in itself the reason that the Insurgency will never allow association with Raiders and Merc's. Their loyalty and commitment is tied directly to who holds the pruse strings and who has the largest purse. I want only Loyal and Devoted Troops committed to the cause with their souls, not their bank accounts. Again, "Nuff Said!" ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

And a Fine Job you've done on that site Mike! Insurgents, Haul your buns over to http://pub8.ezboard.com/bspectrestarstationcommlink and get registered there. Each and every one of you! That's an Order! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

Why sure there is. There's a complete list of all Starbases, which planet/moon they are on, which zone they are in, and their exact coordinates. Where you ask? Look in the Manual Appendix download and look for the file called PZones! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

quote:Anyway, noboby is going to flame anyone over their opinions of a competing product. If I see it, I'm banning that person. No exceptions. People have different tastes and we are all sci-fi fans. Exactly Right SC! Everybody who comes here has a right to their own opinions of what is good to them and what is not. I personally respect their opinions as I would expect their respect in return. This, however, does not apply to coming to the home site of a game and trashing their project. I will not go over to the Terminus Site and tell them my opinion of the game. I'll let my absence there do my talking for me. Additionally, as I've proven in the past here, I will not tolerate someone coming over here and trashing BC. It's just not civilized! So take some friendly advice from "Uncle Rattler" Commanders, If you like their program over at Terminus, By all means go tell them that you like it. If you don't like it, Don't say a word about it over there. True Silence is Deafening I'm told. ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

Ok, takes experience I guess Try just targetting him, jump to his location, Hit the "T" key and manually fly your BC right up his tailpipes. Keep him centered inside that blue square. It'll lock onto him. You just have to be quick and, if necessary, use Afterburners to close the distance once you are close enough to him. Tractors have to be very close. I think it's less than 3K's. Forget the exact numbers, but it works. Done it many times just to demonstrate it to friends. ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

"Uncle Rattler" sez DON'T rush out there and buy it! I promised them over at the Terminus board, way back when, that I'd give it an honest shake. Well, If the rest of the game is as good as the demo......Pardon me while I delete this off of my machine! Only good thing I have to say about it is that my Saitek Set works great in the game! Graphics totally suck, In game voice creates an even greater vaccuum, and man where are the in-ship dials and gages that I'd expect to see? Interceptors in BC3k beat this load of waste to death! 'Nuff Said!" ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

Stop Discussing Tactics on an open network Gentlemen! 'Nuff Said! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

Gentlemen, anybody ever hear of issueing your BC orders? At first sight of that diplomat, target him and quickly order your BC to tow that baby. Watch what happens! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

You guys missed the entire point of my post on this subject. The entire reason for towing that Diplomat to Majoris is saving time. Time that you will use in collecting cargo from that debris field. To collect that cargo, all one has to do is order your BC to fly to the debris field. Watch it's progress in Tacops. When it's inside the debris field, order it to halt. Next zoom all the way in on tacops until the blue lines are visible. Then go to the bridge and scan the radar presentation. See all those blue objects? Send your shuttles out to collect them. Just that simple. BTW, once your shuttles have collected them down to about one or two left, go back to Tacops, then back to the bridge and the pods will have been replaced. ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

That would be the one Commander! grab the stuff from the debris field, run to Majoris and sell it. Of course, jeteson the illegal stuff before docking though. Buy upgrades and all the plutonium and stuff that you can afford. From there, you are on your own! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

Hey Sho! Yep we "Old Timers" still have questions from time to time. Like I said in an earlier post on one of these forums, We still don't know it all yet! As for the Precision Pro, I'd say Gallion could probably answer that question. While down here last week he was using that joystick so evidently he has it figured out. OK Gallion, here's your chance to shine. Put on another coat of wax! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

OK, Now that you guys have gone ahead with the assinment of Cmdr Blair to his new home and responsibilities, someone please be sure and brief him of the fate that awaits him if he doesn't turn over a new leaf. I personally have some doubts about this but it's up to you guys to martial your own troops, as it should be. Kinda nice to see the Task Force Commanders taking charge. Very Nice Indeed! God Speed Commander Blair, Now hit the bricks Insurgent! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

Miracles of modern day Photo/Paint programs. I dressed up a few more, fixed some of the originals, and Jpg'd 'em for more size. Here's the complete collection that I'm willing to release. The rest just couldn't be made viewable/suitable for posting.

Myself, I prefer the Dreadnought over the mosquito any day. Pesky mosquitos can eventually wear you down and make you terribly ill but if you kill that sucker early.....well he just dies too easily. Mind you a swarm of them will eventually get in a few good bites and the damage will have been done but soooooo many of them will have died just to get that results. Make up your own minds gentlemen. How many and which of you are going to survive that attack just to get that B.A.C.? Heck, I might even come along side just to watch the fun! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Still Kickin' after all these years!"

As I promised, Here are the only 3 pics that I think came out good enough to post. First we have Commander Antilles: http://www.geocities.com/cmdr_rattler/Antilles.gif Second, we have Cmdr's Antilles and FoxMatrix And Lastly but by no means leatly, we have the Old Timers Cmdr's Chavik, Gallion, and Rattler. Great Friends One and ALL. Was great to gather again and thanks to Antilles and Fox for gracing "The Den." Next gathering I expect to see and extend the invitation to all who are brave enough to venture out to the unknown. That goes double for you SC! Thanks Again, Gents! ***Hmmm, I tried to put the images on the page but I guess they've been disabled. Next best thing is link to them.

Heh, Interesting thread ya got going here. "Uncle Rattler's" point of view: -Rattler own's guns so that's a no brainer. -Bush, at least he knows the definition of sex! Would you trust a man to run a country if you couldn't trust him to chaperone your daughter? -He also opposes the death penalty. It's too easy! I say make prisons more like prisons should be. Overcrowding and early release? Take those words and definitions out of the dictionary! I say adopt the Japaneese method of prison control. Be good today, I feed you today! Steal something worth 1 cent American and it's a prison sentence. Makes one think about his actions BEFORE he does it! One last rant and I'll quit. ****DUI**** I say, if the individual kills someone, try him for Murder One if he's above the legal limit. If he's convicted just for simple DUI, Simply make him walk for the rest of his natural life. Establish a national registry so that he can't get a license again in any State. There won't be any repeat offenders that way unless he does it without a license. If he's found driving again, 10 years mandatory sentence! End of discussion. Now does this make me a left or right winger? ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Arise, Old Insurgents, Long dead but eternal in time and space.
