All on one ship? You sure about that Blades?

Right on target Vaipa, he doesn't have a Voodoo based card so he can't use the 3DFX shortcut. Good catch! The shortcut made in his Programs Menu in Windows will work just fine. Just use the one that says BC3K. If they didn't work, don't you think that I would have reported it before now and Derek would have fixed it I'm sure! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

For those who are following this thread, Diamond did indeed make some 3dfx cards. Look for Monster Fusion cards, they're Voodoo Banshees! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

William, could you email me and let me know what's going on with this? I think I got left in the gate on the update. I didn't get an email from the webring? Rattler

One forum member has playtested it already. Yeah I did! Whom else but ole Insurgent One would get first crack at it. So far, so very good Pirate! Let me know when you get more done. I'll give it a go unless the SC has tasked me with a Higer Priority Mission! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Nowhere in that thread did I get the impression that BCM was being tested. All I saw was the SC whisper we're coming! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Hey Tac! Help me out here! I only posted what I found. Stands to reason that they would build and rename two more ships since they lost the first two. We did it many times over. How many Lexingtons do you think we had? ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

I put these threads up here whenever my ICQ tells me it's a birthday for one of you guys and gals. If I don't get notified, the thread doesn't get generated. Now, did you fill in all those blocks in your ICQ profile? Are you on "Uncle Rattler's" list? Does YOUR Fleet Commander have you on HIS list? I'm doing the best I can with what I've got. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Personally, I thought the laser fire graphics just plain out and out SUCK! Too arcadish for my tastes. You guys have fun, I scrapped it yesterday. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Please join me in wishing Eclipse, Aaron Dickey, a very happy birthday. He's away from home, doing his first year in college, on his 19th birthday. Oh, to be that young again and be able to retain the knowledge and wisdom that I've managed to gather since 19! P_A_R_T_Y!!! Happy Birthday Insurgent! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

It could be a play on words here. In the US Navy, Commissioned means to be placed in active service, as in manned and getting ready for sea trials. Commissioned in the British Navy could simply mean that the funds were set aside and the contract issued to build her. For what it's worth though, Commissioned should mean placed on the active list. quote: The first of their kind, the HMS Invincible class ships were the beginning of First Sea Lord Sir Jackie Fisher's daunted "battle-cruisers", ships that had the armament of a battleship, but sacrificed the weight of heavy armor to give them the speed of a cruiser. Though plagued with problems when facing enemy battleships at Jutland, when used for their original design purpose as "cruiser killers", British battle-cruisers did the Royal Navy proud. The HMS Invincible and HMS Inflexible sank the German armored cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisnau at the Battle of the Falkland Islands on Dec. 7, 1914. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 [This message has been edited by Rattler (edited 09-30-2000).]

Hey, I have to challenge number 8 as well, either that or British History is incorrect in it's archives. quote:In March 1908, the first battle cruiser, HMS Invincible, was commissioned. She and her sisters Indomitable and Inflexible, displaced @17,000 tons, could reach speeds in excess of 25 knots and featured an armament headed-up by eight 12" main guns. By the way, if there is a question of the accuracy of this information, go to http://www.hmshood.com/history/BCorigins.html and check it out. Nah, Rattler didn't choose his name from that new fangled propulsion platform. I'm surprised that the British would even have heard about Rattlers, let alone use one in a name. Don't think it would have had the same meaning, and they sure didn't make it far enough inland here in The Colonies to discover the true meaning of Rattler. They weren't here that long! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Which Naval power in the early twentieth century invented the Battlecruiser? Answer: British Navy, more specifically, Admiral Sir John "Jackie" Fisher. What was the principle behind the Battlecruiser that set it apart from other ships of the time? Answer: These vessels would be similar in size and main armament to the dreadnoughts, but would be significantly faster. The extra speed would be attained by increased horsepower and reduced armour weight. Fisher's belief was that "speed [coupled with heavy firepower] was it's own best protection." Translated, this means that the battle cruiser should easily be able to out-run and out-gun any enemy cruiser (or smaller) size vessels. What was the name of the man who commanded the British 1st Battlecruiser Squadron? Answer: Rear Admiral David Beatty What was his flagship? Guess: HMS Invincible After that ship was hit in the Battle of the Dogger Bank, which ship did he transfer his flag to? Don't Know! What was the name of the man who commanded the British 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron? Don't know. When was the first British Battlecruiser completed? Answer: March 1908 What the first British Battlecruiser's name?

I'm checking this out now. I thought we fixed that problem WAY back before we went to 2.0. Has it creeped back in?

Jolly Good Show Ben! As a 30 year survivor of this wonderful world of matrimony, all I can say is "It's a lot of work at times, and worth every bit of it!"
