I think I see what R_Wilco is saying. He's wondering if the planets relvolve around the sun, would the jump gates be "left behind", or would they revlolve around the sun with the planet? Though I think I already know the answer (they revlove with the planet), I wanted to clarify what he was asking.

Deleting SC's posts? That's as foolish as it gets.

Well, he could make a list, like from strongest link to weakest link (I'm watching that show too much). Also, concerning the average age, when was that conducted? We may need to recalculate.

I also use ICQ, just got it yesterday.

It's difficult to say, since I've never been a race/caste other than Terran/Military. Oh, by the time I finally get BCM, I'll be so torn apart by the long wait that I'll need a doctor to sew me back together. And on my budget, I'd probably have to sell my computer to be able to afford that kind of operation. So you can see the jam I'm in.

Yeah, I get the feeling that BCM has more public appeal than BC3k had. (not that it detracted me any, as I like hard-core titles) I expect this forum to rapidly grow in the next month or two, so the fleets are getting ready for this wave of new recruits (ISS is anyway...)

Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is MECS in a different color?

Well, congratulations. I expect our ranks to fill rather quickly once people discover how great it is.

Oh, I'm in the database now? I've changed my sig based on Melcar's template.

Just a general wonderance, once there are enough members to form a fleet, will said fleet get their own topic in the forum, like the other fleets?

OK, here it goes... How do I AIM, ICQ or MSN somebody a file? I think MSN stands for Microsoft Network. I've never had my own internet connection before, so I'm a little confused on a few things, and I can't think of a better group of computer geeks (myself included) to ask this.

LOL!

One more question... I haven't seen any TacOps Commanders or Strategic Commanders on the fleet database. Is there a reason for this?

$iLk, I like your idea. Most of the topics should be locked up, but some should remain open. I also like the idea of each fleet having a seprate password.

I signed up for the defense wing, but I haven't been added to the database yet. Are all the people there active? There's a lot of unassigneds up there... [ 10-04-2001: Message edited by: Urza ]

Understood.

On plantetary surfaces, there's going to be plenty of people to shoot, right? Thought so. I like the way the moon is in the same region as Earth. The way it was handled in BC3K was silly.k Is the territory each race/caste controls dynamic? Meaning, could a coordonated Gammulan assault push the Terrans back a system or two? Without being directly involved yourself? For a marine carreer, is it possible to move to another planet, or are you stuck where you first start? How do finances work in the pilot and marine careers?

Ah, MOO. God, I love that game. One of the things on my lifetime checklist is to beat it on impossible level. Very difficult, but doable, I've heard. It also bears an uncanny resemblance to a space strategy game I devised about five years ago, before I ever know what MOO was. Then when I played it for the first time, I thought: "Hey, this is like a computerized version of my game! Cool!" I could go into a long list of similarities between the two, and I think I'll do just that! My game A randomly generated galaxy, with planet sizes Technology with a variety of purposes, including planeteering Design ships with resarched technology Diplomacy with other human players Organize planetary resources Win only by complete conquest Advanced ship battles All races created equal MOO A randomly generated galaxy, with planet sizes and some special attributes Technology with a variety of purposes, including planeteering Design ships with resarched technology Diplomacy with computer players, including trading and spying Organize planetary recources Voting for winner Advanced ship battles Different races, with diffrent bonuses

Uh, where is the fleet DB?

Geez, you guys weren't kidding! Is he the only one here? If so, your fleet just doubled in size! Sign me up!

Friendly and new? That's the biggest complement anyone ever gave me! Waiting for a valid e-mail address so I could join this forum was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Ok, I'll take a look at ISS... that is, if I could figure out what it is! Oh, and if you want to talk to me about this, do so in the topic I started in General Fleet Discussions. EDIT: Oh, my 100th post. No, I didn't notice till I was already 101. [ 10-03-2001: Message edited by: Urza ]

If you've noticed, I've been looking about joining Prime Fleet (now ISS). If you know how I'd go about joining, let me know. Oh, and this is my 100th post, so in the words of $iLk, W00t! EDIT: OK, I've changed my mind and I want to take a look at ISS. I'd appreciate any information about this fleet. In the meantime, I'll take a look at the ISS forum, and their webisite Oh, and it says Cmdr under my name now. Did someone push a button and promote me, or that just a by-product of having 100 posts?
