Ok, I'm feeling good tonight so I'll drop another hint. After finish the mission just before the one to rescue the good doc, during your green time, head on over to Pixan and just hang out/hide out in the debris fields. Once there, watch the timer carefully. Just before the down time expires, or when you are ready should you not need the downtime, ease out into plain view and start the next mission. You'll see what I mean. Just wait and keep your guns ready! ------------------ 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.

About ONE more post in all CAPS and you sure are going to get it, ready or not. There will be servers out there to play online in BCM if I remember correctly. There will be servers out there to play 3020 on as well. Games will be limited to 16 players per game in both unless the SC has changed his mind. GCO is an entirely different animal! There will be a dynamic universe capable of playing in with huge window for gamers to all play in. GCO is different from BCM and BC3020. With GCO, you will pay to play. With that said, I believe I read that you won't buy GCO, it will be an online game that is downloaded to get in the door. Patches, updates, etc will be automatically downloaded each time you log in, as long as you are a currently paid up member. That about cover it SC? Just slap me with that Carp if I got it wrong. Heh, I'm getting used to it! ------------------ 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.

The two that come to immediate mind are Echo and Nightweb from the Insurgent Fleet. Yes, I'd like to hear that answer as well. Also, I think Akuma is in Orion Fleet. I'd like to hear her story as well. ------------------ 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.

OK Gents...AND Ladies! I'd just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone who is currently assigned to the NEW Starstations that Pre-Com goes in your signature before that Station's name. We can't claim it unless we own it. Right now, We don't own them. That will not happen until the release of BCM. When will that be? You guessed it! ------------------ 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.

Yup, that one's an easy one as well. I'll wait for someone else to give this one a shot SC. I gave the HSD mission away, let someone else feal the internal battle of souls when they think of giving away VALUABLE Secrets! If no one gives it away within the next 48 hours, I'll drop a hint on Friday Morning. ------------------ 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.

Yer' Right! I wouldn't personally recommend that course of action but hey! To each his own. At least you didn't use any Playmods or cheats. I hate Cheaters! ------------------ 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.

Errrr......Me thinks you can order the Mechs (depending upon which ones you are talking about) to go on/off duty, you can fly shuttles with them, man ATV's, Transport them to surface, and a couple of things I'm sure that I missed. You better not try to transport them to the surface to take out that SAL though. They DON'T go armed! ------------------ 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.

I haven't figured that our either Commander. I just rely on the natural order of things and let them get smarter at their own speed. Sorry I couldn't be more help but I don't use cheats and don't know the answer. ------------------ 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.

Best I cab remember, the 3D Prophet II is not a 3dfx card. Run the software version of the game only. Do not attempt to run the game from the 3DFX shortcut. That should put you right in there Commander. ------------------ 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.

What are your system specs Commander? What is your video card and which version are you trying to run? If your video card is not voodoo capable, do not attempt to run the 3dfx version of the game. We'll need more information from you in order to provide the assistance you need.

Hugo, For the last time I'm going to warn you. IF you are going to quote me, get it right! I said that "If I had someone who wanted to defect from the Insurgency that I would escort him to your door with my blessings. IF I had a spy, I'd summarily execute that spy!" Now you've been issued this final warning. Get it RIGHT or don't attempt to quote me. Reprocussions will surely follow if you choose to ignore my warnings. Understood? And notice that there are no RP Tags here Hugo. ------------------ 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.

Commander Minako, I'm deeply honored that you have used me in your RP post. Thank you very much! If your Fleet Commander gives you any grief over it, just tell him to look me up sometime. I'll defend your right to post what you like. If he goes too far, Tell him there's another Fleet Commander that would welcome you! Blades, Hang on to her! She's a good one! ------------------ 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.

Commander Kron, Send me email with the correct information and I'll attempt to get it corrected this weekend. Thanks for pointing out the discrepancies. Now if Every Insurgent would take a close look at their information on that page we could guarantee that it would be completely "Up To Snuff!" ------------------ 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.

OK, take the route towards LV105. On your way there you will find the SOS probe and in LV104 and LV105 you'll find the shuttle. Look at it quickly and RUN! Do NOT Linger near it! Next, take the flux field from LV104 (F12) over to Ylisia in Omega Erindani. From there run, not walk to Vega Eridani system. Go all the way to Obsidia (you'll have to use the flux fields). In Obsidia you'll find a Neutral ship. Scan him for cargo. HSD is on that ship. Send shuttle after his cargo. When, and only when, your shuttle returns with the HSD, Set sail for Galcom. Time will probably be a premium so do not dilly-dally along. As for the Salamanda and Reingard, Don't bother. NOT NEEDED to successfully complete the mission! Straight forward enough? ------------------ 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.

Yep, "Uncle Rattler's" managed to solve that particular TOD. That's the good news. Bad news is that he's been sworn to secrecy. For all you good Commanders out there, I've recently picked up the ACM's for the first time in a very, very long time. What I've discovered is that there are a LOT more of them than there were. If you haven't had at them in a while, go check them out again. ------------------ 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.

Whoah! Who the heck is this guy Pandora that's posting here? Surely not the Lead Tester of the Battlecruiser Series!

Yeah Sho!

Excuse me here for a moment. Last time I counted Fleets there were Prime, ISS, Earthcom, Orion, Wraith, and Insurgents. Anything other than that are simple divisions within those fleets. Somebody better "Roger Up" for any additional Fleets or stop posting anything about them. I'm getting old, but definitely NOT Senile, or at least I don't think so! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Arise, Old Insurgents, Long dead but eternal in time and space.

Vorpal, you are definitly on the list for next year! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Arise, Old Insurgents, Long dead but eternal in time and space.

Yep, Mike you are absolutely right on that one. Problem is that my company (Name With held for obvious reasons) has a huge contract with them right now (Dell) for all office Computer systems for the next 5 years. Very Lucrative for Dell I might add. Home office can buy more of them if they like. We will just use the loophole of over and above contract spending and buy one that we trust from now on. Heh, maybe we can get Ron to build them for us! Hey Ron, how quick could you deliver 25 systems? ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Arise, Old Insurgents, Long dead but eternal in time and space.

Ron, Got to disagree with you on Dell. My company just bought me an 800mhz unit from them with a 19" monitor. I've had it 3 working days now and two of those have been on the phone with the Dell "Experts", banging my head on the desktop every time one of them tells me that it can't be their products fault, must be the problem of the software vendor who's products are loaded on it. DELL loaded the software! It's a pre-loaded unit with Win NT that they put on it. The CDRW won't work, and the video looks like something that you would have expected from a TRS80 (Anybody old enough to remember those?). Now you know why I disagree with your statement on Dell Support! BTW, we boxed the unit back up today and shipped it back to DELL and told them to keep it. We'd buy HP! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Arise, Old Insurgents, Long dead but eternal in time and space.

I hear nothing but crickett sounds for the past day or so on this one. If I don't get a response pretty soon from Bumper, I'm closing this one.

Heh, Count on it Mike! I plan on making this an annual event!

quote:Well that is a shame having to buy another to get full benifits (cheats). Thanks anyway guys. You think it's rough now Cmdr, ya should have been around from the first release. Cheats have just recently been made available. Through the growing curve of the release that you have, there were none. What is a shame is that there are still versions of your game still on the shelves. By the "Suits" still keeping that particular version on the shelves they not only cheat you, but the Developer (Derek Smart) out of royalties that are due him. That's criminal on both counts IMHO! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Arise, Old Insurgents, Long dead but eternal in time and space.
