only losers use cloak--- be a man (or woman) and rush in there without cloaking and start some real fighting! get some battle scars! Dont you find it boring having all systems green all the time? I cant stand it unless I have atleast one heavily damaged system or a batterd crew.. --well thats just me i guess

quote: Yeah MP will be big fun. But I'm waiting on BCO. I think that's where the REAL fun begins. Yes it will, I can just imagine flying my shuttle out of a docking bay and some behemoth carrier comes up and asks if this docking bay is taken

man--- avp2 on easy (playing as marine) nearly made me wet my pants 3 times---- I ruined my keyboard from one encounter by spilling a drink on it.. Im going to play the marine on hard tonight--- I have a question tho-- what about the game scared you guys? For me it was: *The way your trying to close one of those large doors hoping one of those aliens arnt behind you or trying to get through the door before it closes. *When your running from aliens, you turn around for a quick second--- there are about 20 blips 20m from you but you dont see aliens.. *The damn music!! It changes alerting you that your in danger so your looking around frantically for aliens but see nothing. *running down dark corridors (youd think there would be SOME lights on *your exit being blocked and having to crawl through a vent *Frostys stupidity.. (you people know what I mean--- she was already dead anyway. (or what id consider dead) It took me 5 minutes to work up the nerve to enter.. -- Im interested to hear what scares you guys when ya play the game as marine.. Also I dont care what anyone says about the marine-- They suck? tell that to my pulse rifle.. or tell that to alice quote: The only complaint I have about AvP2 is the lack of co-op play. Man, I'd just love to go on a mission with my human marine team. Also, no in-ship maps. I absolutely loved the Aliens game which used be over at gamestorm.com back in the old days. Man, that was a blast. There is a program I saw somewhere on planetavp that lets you play coop games- if I find it ill post a link.. also im making a space station map if your interested [ 03-06-2002, 23:09: Message edited by: Carl Burning ]

Heh, I laughed when I saw he had problems with readying fighters.. pretty funny. When I first played 3000ad a long time ago and it did that to me I just poked around until I found the tac menu and well--- got my fighters nice and ready for combat.. This review makes me think that people are always bending the truth about games-- sure he was right on some parts-- like the sound- but that can be forgiven-- but other things-- like readying the fighters was well-- pretty self explanatory. The graphics are being worked on-- atleast they look decent. (of course im waiting to be flying around in nebulas with volume-- cant wait for that (freespace 2 comming to mind)) Yes, of course the weapons arnt as 'diverse' -- you have your simple compliment of weapons-- missiles, main cannons, and turrets.. It would be nice to 'feel the power' from them and make others fear you-- but A few graphics & sound tweaks can fix that.. Lastly-- the manual-- "Its like an FAQ, it tells you how to fly the ship(or something along those lines).." Isnt that what a manual is SUPPOSED to do? Pah that was a pretty bad review.. Id love to read the e-mail he sends back however--

hey, your shuttle was circleing the target-- mine was ramming wraith stations wrekage trying to get to a cargo pod on the other side-- then a TER/MIL Stormcarrier went straight through the shuttle (what was left of it after the stormcarrier turned on its pta system) and through wraith.

Is it me or are ATV's amphibious? in IA10 you can drive your atv in the water and not have a problem - there also half way in and out of the ocean floor. I got screenshots to prove it if you want.

Naw in tribes 2 you can just disc him off of the station no prob--- or go find another one.. or just TK him <--- is it mee or is this smiliey look seriously deformed

Pardon my stupidity but-- how would I put in my own custom avatar w/o uploading it? quote: I use a custom avatar which cannot be used by anyone else. In order to use a custom avatar, the filename should match your PDN (Publicly Displayed Name). This is why only I can use the Supreme_Cmdr.GIF avatar image. Im not entirely sure where exactly i put in the filename. Nevermind it seems I MUST upload it [ 01-02-2002: Message edited by: Carl Burning ]

Id have a massive.. and slow(400 is max speed) .. capital ship. *no cloaking system *40 fighters (4 fighters per squad)(10x Zenstar,10x S24 raven, 10x Lfighter, 10x mantis) *the normal amt of officers *2 cargo bays that hold 7500 (weapon bays hold 3000) *5x shuttle MKII 5x shuttle MKIII 4x ATV 2x HAV 4x LAV *8 officers, 20 pilots, 40 sys eng, 40 flt eng, 40 medic, 100 marines, no rensing. *cant use TA shield *cant enter atmosphere (well... you CAN but youll never get the ship back in space if you survive the enterance because youll drop like a rock ) *16 turrets(4 on each side of the ship) 6 main guns that take take 2 seconds to recharge on max pwr hyper jump transit and recharge 180 sec YAW 5 Roll 4 Pitch 5 max armor 50000 max shield 2500 mmmmm just how i like it--- big slow and powerful of course I had to put some disadvantages because its no fun in battle when the odds are always in your favor.. (i put 50k armor points because the ship will explode anyway before you hit 0 anyway)

go into space, plot a waypoint for your cc on the planet (wherever you want to go) then reenter the planet and boom! your at where you want to be

There seems to be a problem with the bc mkII model. Dunno if this has been talked about yet but: I was playing around with my new geforce3 walking around the outside of the ship (in space) and when walking on the underbelly of the ship I noticed a glitch in the graphics i walk over there and suddenly im 'inside the ship'. Its like the model las a small opening in it so i end up walking through the midsection of the ship and back up through the top.---

* dunno what you mean *did you try a tractor beam? who would launch a probe in the atmosphere anyway? *quick save does not really save your game -- if you quicksave and quit bcm and then later you go back in all you have to do is click resume and it brings you back to where you last saved. Its basically a quick way to save & get out for lazy people *I dont plot points to starbases I just hit ap and tell my cc to dock at x starstation so I dunno. *I dont think you can equip your marines yet. However you can only equip EF marines with sniper rifles if there were an option to. It seems when you deploy them most of em are equipped with sniper rifles anyway. (EF marines) and MI marines are mostly equipped with rocket launchers-- it seems that all ammo is replenished magically when you get back on the CC (which, to me that sucks since youll never have to buy ammo ) *I dunno

Like the avatars and all but i thought that worked by someone putting a link from some place then posts it up-- rrrg that didnt come out right ok the person types in the link and then when someone looks at the post the pic is loaded hmm dont think that came out right either

I got: GeForce 3 Ti 200 64 mb 16x10x40 CDRW drive Frank Herberts: Dune and --------------! one of those little flashlights about the size of a quarter that you are supposed to see em from a mile away

It is 12:40 EST and i see noone has posted have a merry x-mas (as of 12:00 EST) so im putting one up-- MERRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYY X-MAS!!!!!!!!!!!

Null space is uncharted territory right? I remember in BC3K id hit an object in some way and bounce back at HJ speeds which i couldnt recover from and eventually fly out of the region. Once I flew out of the region using A/B and into null space too-- it takes a hell of a long time but I did it

posting---- ahem-- hi

Negative-- In the mp patch you will be able to man the turrets on a station when your docked--

Hmm sounds like my little problem in my MKII after wasteing Pixan--- Heres the story.. I was flying back to earth and I happend to jump into the region with pixan--- Well I felt like it was time to blow it outta orbit.. Of course I went in and -- blew it up-- Its PTA got my shields down to %50 (im flying with no upgrades).. Well shields hit %100 again-- There wasnt much left in the region except 2 fighters-- Well, I decided this is the perfect time to give my pilots some training-- I send them all out-- .. Of course I think everythings fine-- 2 minutes later-- the enemy fighters are still there- What the?! I look and see that my guys have been following the hostiles around and havent even taken down their shields-- I even filled em up with missiles! So I decided-- Well, the pilots have had a hard day.. Ill give em a break-- So at that I went after an enemy in my BC-- Knowing this isnt BC3K I let my PTA system do its job-- Well, the PTA system didnt hit em ONCE .. I hit the fighter with 2 msl's... By then my pilots were dead or dying (serves them right).. Besides that those 2 fighters tore engineering a new one-- The officers were yelling and screaming saying stuff like 'life support is critical on deck 2' 'operations has taken damage' blah blah-- But from that one thing stood out--- It was from the CE-- All I heard was Reactor, Overheating, Critical, Surge-- I think it went in that order.. Anyway after I heard 'surge' I knew I was going to explode any second now-- I checked perscan and saw the CE and anybody in engineering was dead or about to be. My engines were shot, my last ditch effort to escape by sending a shuttle to tow me was cut off-- (you see I had to cut power to comms to bring up launch control since my reactor was shooting out nuclear fire and not produceing very much power and well, I saw everything say 'malfunction' on the bridge-- then everything cut back on and power was put from launch control TO comms AND i couldnt divert power because logisticx(SP) was destroyed!!).. So then seeing the rain of laser fire below my ship move up and start putting holes in my ship. (unlike the naval units and their poor aim enemy fighters seem to be pretty good at blowing up helpless BC's) A second later everyone was dead as the reactor gave up..

Define 'vet' for the BC series

Ramius: 1. I think you can set away teams even though your not on it.. Try setting away teams via the bridge .. Click on the shuttle number and try messing with the away team there-- then when your done just deploy the team (Im not sure that this works because I find the transporter safer AND quicker ) 2. Marines need to be (should be anyway)1 meter from the shuttle in order to get on-- if your in the shuttle try extracting marines like you would drones (not with the tractor beam unless you want some empty beds in the troop quaters when you get back) Im not sure you can extract marines right now because there isnt a way you can order them around yet-- ill try it later. 3. In TACOPS you click the logistics (sp) button (i think theres one there) and restore power.. OR you could try clicking on tatical and accessing logisticblahwhatever from there-- If that does not work then dont turn off transporter power anywar.. It does nothing to keep intruders from boarding your ship--- Im not sure about deploying shuttles in tacops in first-person--- ill look at that too

1. Dunno 2. Tell your shuttle to tow nothing ( I think that is how it works) 3. just stay near galcom HQ -- enemy units never seem to come there (or rarely atleast) 4. see 3

you know... you could just ask for help... *ahem*

Uhm... Phased IOD does not need any AI whatsoever to be installed-- Surely you know that?-- (hehe always wanted to say that) anyway heres what you need to get this thing to work-- Firing system must be de-coupled. IOD requires 5 units of power. Weapon System requires 5 units of power. Tactical System requires 5 units of power. Weapons Computer status level must be greater 25% So, as you can see it comes fairly dumbass proof [ 12-05-2001: Message edited by: Carl Burning ]

You know youve been playing too much BCM when: *You insist your wife referrs to you as the Supreme Commander *You put out ranks in the family (eg: man of the house = SC, wife = Tacops cmdr oldest son = fleet cmdr daughter = cmdr) *You replace the critical stop sound in windows with the BCM warning kalaxon thingamawatcha
