Yep. Anyway, I have opened a trouble ticket about it in the event that I can come up with a wat to prevent it from happening - or a recovery method of sorts.

Well, a workaround would be, well, try mining on relatively flat terrain and ensure that the shuttle lands and deploys the drone on a similar terrain. Don't just fire up Tacops and pick any random spot on a whim.

If you have an AGP slot, yes, it will work just fine. And you don't need a 9800 Pro if you want to save some money. You can get a 9200 or something.

Well, the minute I saw in my recent driver's license renewal (in late March when the renewal came) that by renewing it I was agreeing that I would be called to serve my country, I knew something was up. So, I'm not terribly surprised. quote: Originally posted by Shingen: quote:But still, I have NO WISH to join the military as a draftee!

You gotta love Churchil (?)

If they are active, it means they exist. Until they are actually DESTROYED, their status will remain active. So, they do exist but you can't find them because they are probably stuck on some ridge or have gone inverted, ended up under the ground and making it impossible to locate (since the camera will prevent terrain intersection most of the time). The event that reports the status of an object is the same used for ALL objects in the game. So, if it says that the drone is active, then it is. The fact of the matter is, short of warping the drone back on to the terrain (which will only result in it getting into the same condition at another time), I can't think of any remedy for this quirk. Yet.

I have today permanently banned one person for starting a thread and posting an excerpt from an online news source, without crediting the source nor posting a link to it. I deleted one other thread without banning the person. Yet. But I'm watching him now. I am going to keep deleting threads and banning people for as long as it takes for some of you to understand that MY rules are NOT open to interpretation. That is all.

When I tried this sometimes it worked but then another system was damaged or destroyed. Oh, you're using cheats? I see. Repairs work just fine. Always did. Always will. Let me close this one now before I have to ban someone.

'learn something new everyday!!' (I love it!!) Obviously, your definition of set down on a planet, is different from ours. And until you actually TRY it, please stop cluttering my boards with rubbish, and confusing the less experienced people.

How many times do I have to explain what is going on and to say that there isn't a DAMN thing I can do about it? The drone - like everything else - has its own dynamics model, if it goes over a ridge that causes it to go inverted, underground etc etc, there's nothing I can do about it. If there was (a) it would be in the VCF as an issue ( I would be investigating it. This ranks up there with getting trapped inside a blown out building. Live with it as there is nothing that I can do about it. If it bothers you so much, either (a) don't mine ( mine only on moons, which have a relatively flat surface [ 04-30-2004, 07:43 PM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

AFV? Yeah, thats news to me too. Hey Spiny, have you updated that list with the new acronyms from UC? e.g. TOM, PLV etc?

There is a PDF version of the UC manual on the CDROM? Are you sure? Anyway, obviously the manuals were printed differently. And I am talking about my manuals, I am refering to English version which I have. I don't have time - nor do I care to - go and find out what a page reference in my manual, is in an Italian, French, Portugese or Gibberish version. Get a grip and use your common sense.

Doh!! Brain fag on my part guys. OK, who last had the rope? *moved* ...and now I'm right, and you're both wrong.

OMG!! This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Isn't that usually the case around here? Besides, we [the oldies] take pride in quality, not quantity, of posts on our boards.

As if we didn't already know this. I'm still waiting for one of my patents to be sorted out.

I have uploaded three new shots.

I see. But I don't plan on adding anything else to BCM Gold. So if you are planning on leaving the CC, take the officer responsible, off-station.
