Captain McMahon

I have delayed the first exam until next week so to give the cadets time to practice and get comfortable. Remember you need to read the manual, PF Charter, and any PF-sponsored tutorials or guides (which will be posted as they are completed). I will be sending out a PM to the cadets assigned the first mission which again are: * Flax * Ivo * Kenshin * Mahzel All other cadets, until otherwise posted report to the Acandemy Commandant Marvin.

Sir, Marvin uses his own server to host that image.

Except those Cadets listed in Marvin's post above, all cadets are expected to complete Mission One. When you finish each mission, post a BREIF After Action Report, basically just post any interesting or noted events, comments, and/or problems. The term WILL last six weeks and I would like cadet opinions on each mission so I can keep their thoughts while making the next missions. The AAR should be brief, which means, don't list EVERYTHING that happens at the precise time, don't just post negative comments, don't complain. The AAR should be a way for you to have fun with and post the basics of what you did. Please wait until the PF forum is back up and I have reposted this mission in the respective threads. If by some bad luck the forum is not back by Friday, then post your AAR's in this thread. ---------------------------------------------------- Mission One (Due by midnight Friday the 18th) Greetings Cadets, Your first mission will start out Genesis Station and your launch in a Garid command ship. This is a free roam mission. You have 9 hours of game time to gain as much credit and EP as you can. However you must travel through the trade route between Wraith Station and Genesis. You have one assignment which is upon launching from Genesis, prep your shuttles to deploy mining drones on the moon. Switch to TacOps, click on the moon, then on the moon tab click on observe. Once the view changes your see a complete basic map of the moon. For this mission, I want you to set four waypoints in a square shape with the waypoint to deploy the drone in the middle. Do that for each drone. If you don't know how to plot waypoints read the TacOps Computer section of the manual. Also you must plot your course to Wraith Station and Genesis by using Navitron. You are not allowed to upgrade your systems, but do have permission to fire on vessels attacking ally ships. You must follow the Rules of Engagement, you must not fire on a vessel unless it has fired on you or ally vessels. Good Luck! To successfully pass this mission you will need - 1 screenshot taken from the Stats tab in the Commlink menu. This wil show me how many EP's and credits you have. This must be taken at 22:00. - 1 screenshot of PerScan at the beginning of the mission - 1 screenshot of All marines and ready status - 1 screenshot of your system engineers assignments in the Logistix menu - 1 screenshot of a waypoint pattern for a deployment attempt on the moon via TacOps - 1 screenshot of the Navitron computer when leaving Genesis for Wraith - 1 screenshot of the Navitron computer when leaving Wraith Station for Genesis All screenshots can be sent to me at [email protected] Again Good Luck, Cadets! Feel free to PM me for assistance if needed. [ 06-15-2004, 12:02 PM: Message edited by: Mrxknown ]

Don't worry, Kalshion, your post is fine. Good Luck with your pet, I hope everything works out for you.

Greetings Cadets, Some of you may know me, some of you may not. I am Commander Mrxknown. I will be your instructor for the next six weeks. Here is a complete schedule for those six weeks. If anythings changes, I will edit this post and an additional post so that you are aware of the change. Be sure to place this thread in your favorites, so you can quickly check it without fumbling through the forum or PMing myself. If you do PM me about when a mission, event, or exam takes place, I will provide you with a link to this thread. I will also repost this message on the PF forums in the Academy section. Each mission should be posted the first day of each week and I'll have them graded within two days of the cadets completion. Now at the start of Week One, all cadets will need to be reading their game manual, any PF-sponsored tutorial or guide, and the Prime Fleet Charter, which are located in the War Room.

Yes, but what's even lower are the hackers that stole the source code and gave Valve a reason to throw HL2 back a few years.

quote:"The initial response was overwhelmingly pessimisticÔÇØ said Patricia Wilson, Executive Director.┬á ÔÇ£People told us this venture was nearly impossible without taking several years and literally millions of dollars.ÔÇØThat's sad, I'm happy the wish was made true, but that right there puts me in a bad mood.

@ UnderLord: It's not ALL online, but it does have MP and SC has been making great changes to it.

WAHOO!!! Glad to see ya getting some respect, 'round here Come on over to the Bar, Gordon, I've got a Shirley Temple jst for you

Actually I received my Xbox last year for a HS grad gift. After playing the PS one for awhile, giving up and focusing on school my last year. The Xbox was a breath of fresh air. I like Halo, it's good, not THE best FP, but good. I have fun with all my games. Not to mention I don't have the money to buy new equip just to run a good PC game *cough* SWG, UC *cough* otherwise my comp couldn't play those games. With my Xbox, I don't need a memory card, just save money for new games. Plus FPs and adventure games on MY PC isn't that much fun compared to my xbox since all the commands I need are on my controller. I'm not saying the xbox, PS2, GC are better than the PC, just for me YEAH KnightBlade on Xbox!!!!

(Also I got all of these from the manual, all up to Section E, since section F is Mr. Smart's soapbox )

Am I wrong to believe that the solar reactor works the same as in BCM? If so, I dunno what you were thinking with these changes SC

That's not how the servers work, but think of it as this way, it will ALL change once BCO gets "finished", which is as finished a MMOG can be.

During my first year with BCM back in 2001, I left the ship to explore Earth and what do you know, I came back and my shuttles AND fighters were gone, most of my radine and spare parts/repair minerals were stolen and my about half my crew dead or in Medibay. Talk about embarrasing!!

quote:Originally posted by Remo Williams: I suppose I should step down at this point to make room for new leadership since I have been ineffective in my duties. Where have you been? I've seen nothing, but extremely hard work coming from you. If anything I think you should be promoted and given your own planet to vacation in.

WTG Marvin, watch out SC, he'll be coming!!! Seriously though this is great, I've noticed the lack of attendence within the other fleets so this looks like a great wakeup call.

You know some people try to avoid being hit.

I was born in 84 so my memory of RR is non-existent, but no matter what, may he rest in peace.

I've given up on SW since EP 1. It all seems pointless.

Don't worry it will be a pretty monkey. Now I have been thinking about this, one good premise which I think could lead into a good game. PREMISE: GALCOM is still trying to figure out who stole or destroyed the three vessels in the Gam Quadrant. However, with Insurgent forces gathering strength, many attacks to Earth, planetary problems such as Global Warming, overpopulation, and general public support of Insurgent activities, the Terrans are facing events which will lead to a civil war. What do ya think?

Near the end of a long day of work, you tell a co-worker that if you were the store commander you would do a better job, when if fact the title is store manager. Happen a few days ago, I wasn't even thinking about BC at all until that moment. My friend caught me saying it and I didn't realize.

I'm deeply, disturbingly surprised no one has mention the best game for 2004.... Spider-man 2 Oh and the all, but unknown xbox sequel, Halo 2

Well that helps me out. I was trying to think if I should the PC version since I wanted to take screenshots and use em like pictures in a newspaper or recreate the shots PP took in the first movie. BTW anyone know how to go about taking screenshots while playing xbox?

Dunno seeing as you'll an Insurgent, I think I can get some monkeys ;P

ROFL It's good to know how the police handle things. "He's on my property!!" BANG BANG "Oh that's just the mailman."
