Yeah Boss, but what keyed my interest was when he said "Thankx but still crashing with save right before TOD2 M4." I thought to myself, Uh-Oh! But if it's not a save issue then that is a very good thing!

Cautionary Advisement Acknowledged, Flet Commander Blades! I wouldn't know about the rivalries between the other Fleets though! They aren't as open to Long Distance Monitoring as Orion is. 'Tis their loss though. As far as I can tell, they are pretty stand-offish between the members. Not like Insurgents and Orion. Anyone out there have any intel? ------------------ 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'm seriously hoping that an old problem hasn't resurfaced. Gents, I want you to try this for "Uncle Rattler" and let me know the results. Do not use the top commander slot. Use any of the other ones you choose, just not the top slot. Play your game and let me know if you still get this "annomoly". I'd really like to know the results. I'll do the same, using the top slot and try to duplicate what you are experiencing. Ok Gents, Hop To It! ------------------ 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.

(RP) What? If my eyes didn't deceive me, I just read that Orion Fleet was just referred to as the Janitors of Galcom! Is that what you were saying Hugo? They are only good enough to come in and finish after Prime Fleet has finished the major battle? quote:You hold an important department in GalCom, Cleaning up the mess!

Now Commnder Hugo, If you are going to eavesdrop, Pay ATTENTION!

I won't stop him. What you neglected to bring to light was the fact that I did say that I would summarily execute Spies! Believe it or not Commander, and I'm not sure that you've earned that title just yet, the Insurgency IS at war with the UFN and Galcom! In times of war, Spies are executed! Fact of life! That's the risk they,and the people who send them, take when they go on such assignments. I would ask nothing less from even you Galcommies! Got It?

Guys, Now you know why the SC had this forum locked down in the beginning. Kindly take this type of thread outside, down the hall, and to the RP Forum where it belongs! That's what THAT one's for! I don't mind seeing this type of rivalry, on the contrary, I am one of it's staunchest supporters.

Most likely! There's not much call for Pirates these days. Raiders are a different matter! Raiders have no loyalties, nor do they have honor. They fight not for a worthy cause. They fight for monetary gain. P.S. I don't like Merc's either, for that same reason. They don't spend their money in your shops and taverns. They save it and take it home with them. Now who's supporting your economy? Their loyalty to your cause will only last as long as your payroll. Did I mention I hate Merc's? ------------------ 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.

quote:I just love the appellation GALCOMMIES. It's just too funny. I never tire of seeing in posts, although some Insurgents seem to use it the word like it's a bad thing. Heh, for any self respecting Insurgent, It IS a bad thing! No, seriously, when another Tester (Unnamed at present time) and I were discussing the Insurgents way back in the beginning, the term Galcommie came out and we decided to keep it alive. I posted it here first just to see the reaction. It was a pleasant surprise and it's now legendary! Galcommie isn't such a bad word. I've heard and used far worse!

(RP) Heh, I've already told you that should one of the Insurgents want to come back into the Galcom Fold, he's more than welcomed to leave! Defection from the Insurgency is not an issue. Had not the SC issued a moritorium on defections, I'd already have more high ranking Galcommies in the Insurgency than Galcom does! That tell you anything? Keep dreaming Galcommie! Like I said, if I have an Insurgent that wants to defect, have him tell me personally and I'll escort him to your doorstep. If I, and I will find out, find out about a spy in my midst, I'll summarily execute him publicily. "Nuff Said!"

(RP) I can see that Galcom has continued to brainwash it's new recruits on their first day at the academy. Doesn't anyone read history any more? What? You ate those books instead of reading them?

Well Commanders, It had to happen sooner or later. I have it on good authority that it's now officially Blades' Birthday in the UK!

Sometimes it takes a gentle nudge to bring one back to reality, other times it takes a brick. Insurgents, even I have forgotten our history. We live and die by secrecy. That's always been our way. Our strength has always been the inability of our enemies to actually know what job/task each individual had been assigned. Our weaknesses have always been our inability to remain in the shadows and strike when the time was right and JUST! Akira has just hit me with a brick! Since Akira pointed you to my site and the information contained there, I must advise you that this information/documentation there is awaiting final approval from the SC. Don't start using/wearing any of that stuff until I get the "All Clear" from The Man! OK? From this moment on, this voting is closed. We use the last presentation from Antilles as Spectre Fleet Logo. I'll work with Akira on the Wings, and the Ribbons are a sure thing. We will set up standards for us to earn those ribbons, and once earned, worn with pride. Just so we are all on the same page Insurgents, Akira IS Spectre Fleet Commander. He only has one Boss. ME! You all work for him.

There's nothing out there written that says each individual SS or SB couldn't have their own patch if they wanted it. I will say this though, If one does it we all do it. It has to be uniform across the Fleet. We will, however, have a singular crest/pin for the Insurgency. There has to be something that says Spectre when you look at it. You decide, Insurgents. ------------------ 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.

Personally, I've done some investigating here SC. I can find no mention of these locations except when viewing Perscan from the bridge. Don't know how anyone would be able to determine damage to those locations except if he had a bunch of people dying down there and Medics couldn't get to them or something. Sure baffles me. I only had this kind of problem in the past when I made a mistake and Nuked the places with my bad reactor core fouling up the place or by running my cloaking device too long. At any rate, I'm on it. If I can reproduce, I'll save and send! ------------------ 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.

Well, since I'm the first to reply here, I'll give it a shot! 1. I think one becomes a tester by staying active here on the forum. Be helpfull wherever you can. Learn the game, inside and out. That way it's much easier to provide accurate help when someone comes here with those questions. If you start showing that you are capable, The SC will most certainly notice this and you! When/if he decides that you know enough and have helped enough, He will invite you. It won't happen before then. 2. What we do as testers is just what you would expect. We PLAY the game! I mean we really PLAY the game. We intentionally look for ways to break it! If there is an "annomoly" that is out there, it's up to us to find it. Should we miss one (it's happened before), and it gets reported up here, we do our level best to duplicate it. That's why it's imperative that whoever reports these annomolies give us the most detailed "How You did it" report as possible. We then report to the SC and tell him if/how we duplicated your report. He then goes to work on fixing that "annomoly." BTW, the "Annomoly" fixing period for BC3K is over, so don't start submitting reports, OK? Hope that answers your questions well enough. I have some buddies that might have a better way of answering so I'll let them have a turn if they want. ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "This is the place.

Ok Insurgents, break out those designing tools, pencils, and ballots. Looks like we have the makings of a debate and decide thread starting here. Just remember, this isn't a "no holds barred" thread.
