Hey, I was just trying to help you out man. You kind of remind me of this time I saw a guy smack his girl in the face. I went over and asked him what his problem was and he started to fight with me. Well, to make a long story short...This guys' girl friend started screaming at me when all I wanted to do was make sure she was alright. I should just learn to keep my mouth shut I guess. Don't get me wrong...I like the SC, he is funny as hell most of the time. And hey, hot tempers run in my family, so I can see his point when he gets angry sometimes. I just wish he would relax a little. I'm getting out of this before it gets any hotter than it has to. [ 11-12-2001: Message edited by: schoch1 ]

All I'm saying is, don't shoot the messenger. And as for SC not saying that he was a liar...OK, he said he was "full of shit"...There, that better?

What the hell are you scared of?! Your trying to help the SC by letting him know that there may be something important that he should know about. You tried to do the right thing and he responded with anger and called you a liar. He owes you an apology in my eyes. (Man, I'll probably get banned just for stating my opinion...Jeez!) SC, c'mon man, you can't talk to people like that...especially to those that practically look up to you. He was trying to help and you rip him a new one...These are your fans.

Today, I was told by one of the Managers of EB that BCM would probably not be out until the holidays!?!?! Now mind you, he could be blowing smoke...But then again, he quit smoking a few years back. We'll see I guess...

You people are starting to sound like a bunch of crack addicts...

You tell 'em SC! [ 10-12-2001: Message edited by: schoch1 ]

Ok...Relax. We all B friends here

That would seem ideal...If you could move the posts into the newbie forum and explain (politely ) that all newbie posts go into the newbie forum, I think people will begiin to get the idea and everyone will be happy! Thanks for listening SC...That in itself says something about your character.

Agreed...

I have to agree with Josh. I read the message boards and sometimes I have to laugh. It's almost like the SC has his fans fearful of saying the wrong thing. Look, I know that there was a lot of crap that went down during the initial release of BC, but chill out SC. Everyone that logs onto these boards is willing to give BCM a chance. Those that don't, well it'll be their loss, but for the rest of us...Try and be a little more compassionate in your replies. Not everyone has the time to read through tons of resource material posted on these boards. I'll tell you the truth, I was one of the people who bought BC back in the day, and I was not happy...But hey, welcome to the 21st century, it's a new day and all is good so lets all get along here. So what if someone asks a stupid question, answer it. After all it's like Josh said, we're the ones who are buying the game. If you want respect then learn to give it a little, SC. You're a brilliant developer but your social skills are a little lacking (If you ban me from this board, so be it, I'll still buy the game, but try and realize that some of the people that will purchase BCM are new to all this...And they can use your help. After all, they're not the poeple who gave you problems back in the day. These are the people who will help bring the BC legacy into the future...It's my opinion that you should treat them as such). Well, good luck with the launch and I hope BCM is recieved well throughout the gaming community, the game rocks!...Take care.

I read the manual (the whole thing) and I have to tell ya, something like that is easy to miss Well, thanks for your time!

Yes, that is my point. I just think it's too time consuming to have to launch everytime I want to unload my mining drones' contents into my BC cargo bay. But like SC said, this will not be an issue because you will be able to access all of your support ships cargo bays' while being docked at a starstation. At least thats what I think he meant...

Ok, I figured it out...For some reason, as long as the radar is NOT in Tacscan mode (ground mode or otherwise) I CAN target it (the ground starbase) with the / key. I dont know why, but as long as I had my ground radar(Tacscan)active, I couldn't seem to target the starbase. But when I displayed the topography map in the NID I had no problem locating it...Hey, whatever works! I'm lovin' this game and I cant wait for BCM! Well...Cheers all!

i did...it still does not work

How come when I try to land at a starstation (On the surface...) I cant seem to target the station. I know where they are...They're the buildings with the 5000 armor. They are pretty distinct looking too). I know how to find them on the surface...The blinking boxes, but I can't seem to dock with them, no matter what I do, I can't seem to target them...Any suggestions? I'm sorry about all the dumb questions, it's just that I really love this game and I want to get everything I can out of it. Thanks alot everyone for your patience.

hmmm....ok.

Hey SC! Will this be addressed in BCM? I hope so...It would be really convienient to unload all cargo in one shot, rather than having to launch and re-dock constantly. Well, thanks for your time! (And thanks for answering, Charles!)

I seem to be having a problem when it comes to unloading my mining drones' cargo into my battlecruiser's cargo bay. For example: If I load up all 4 mining drones with minerals and try to unload their contents into the main cargo hold on th BC I cant because the hold is full. So what I have to do is dock the ship, sell the minerals I have currently stored in the cargo hold, launch the ship, unload the minerals from the remaining drones into the BC's cargo hold and start the process all over again...Sometimes I have to do this several times to get rid of all the minerals onboard. Is there an easier way to unload all the cargo without having to launch everytime? Thanks!

The game demo runs perfectly on my machine except for one glitch. You could see through some of the space stations. It seemed as if the textures were tearing apart at the edges. Anyone else have this problem? I have a: PIII 866 nvidia geforce 64 256 MB ram

Can anyone fill me in on some jucy supply lines? For example, "Buy low here, sell high there". I'm looking to trade goods, but I'd like to know who wants what. Any one have any suggestions? Thanks!

By the way, about the ATV's...I meant to say that Im having trouble deploying ATV's in tacops mode. Manually I have no problem, otherwise though, I cant figure it out. Thanks again! [ 10-02-2001: Message edited by: schoch1 ]

A couple of questions: 1) can you beam personel onto another ship to attempt a hostile takeover? 2) what is the purpose of beaming down personel(non combatants) onto a planet...Is there a specific reason? (perhaps in mission mode...) 3) can you raise crew members IQ by sending them into the library? 4) why wont my shuttles deploy the ATV's in Tacops Mode? I know I'm doing it right (I deploy the mining probe with no problem)...Is this a bug? 5) how can I deploy troops out of my shuttle, without them bumping into it constantly? 6) I can't seem to get my probes to take scans of planets...is this possible? (these questions pertain to 3000ad) Thanks! [ 10-02-2001: Message edited by: schoch1 ]
