You'll know when you need replacements And its Combat Kits. Please edit your thread subject accordingly.

LOL...my first forum posts began with questions on how I could get my crew to spend more time in the Library to boost their AI levels. What ensued was not the most graceful entry into this group. hehe, I remember that one. Anyway, most of those locations are handled by the AI and are not under player control. So for e.g., you can't force Resnig to hit the books. Though I'm sure some folks would sure like to.

quote: Originally posted by Bandus: 9/10 Easily. It was a great movie in my opinion. Extraordinarily entertaining. I'll be going to see it again. Johnny Depp played his role perfectly. Orlando Bloom kicks ass because he was in LOTR. :-) But seriously, he played his role well. I thought that the story was built up perfectly. Furthermore, the writers really did their homework as the settings, language, and other items of significance were all properly done in their historical context. A very good time. I agreed on all points. Anyway, I got even with those b*astards who made me go see League Of Gits. I went and saw PoTC again yesterday. I'll probably see it one more time before I start the long wait for the DVD There's a sequel in there somewhere. I can just smell it.

The marines were probably taking potshots at him from a closeby location. They don't necessarily have to be in the same location btw. Also, one marine may have jumped in there, took a shot, and jumped out. You might have missed the location screen update - especially if you have a high frame rate. quote: Originally posted by Cmdr Chavik: The deck pics were scrapped when the ability to choose any ship was implemented. Too many to do. Thats right. All cap ships have the same deck locations. But some ships do not have certain locations and these are then excluded by the engine. To see what I mean, troll in the DATAASSETS.INI file and you'll see references to LEXCLUDE. e.g. the cruisers do not have a Research Lab.

quote: Originally posted by Kasey Chang: Understood. Still, it's kinda inconsistent that sometimes abbreviation was used and sometimes full term was used. Another example: SHUTTLE 1, SH 1, and SC1. I know, I'm just nit-picking. Tell me where you've seen SH references please. I need to change them as well.

quote: Originally posted by Kasey Chang: Related observation... Intruders and marines fighting in the shuttle bay can damage SC's and OC's that are in the shuttle bay. This shows up as somewhat odd and minor damage. Another time, Intruder set a charge in my officer's quarters, and killed my NO, sleeping in her quarters. Good thing the cloning module's working. Still, the officer's quarters was damaged. The same intruder also completely destroyed my tractor beam control unit, which required a full replacement. Yep. Works as designed

quote: Originally posted by Kasey Chang: Found the drone. Thanks. How? And where was it?

Welcome! You cannot change their orders before you deploy them. When you deploy them to the planet (e.g. using transporters), their default orders is SAD. They won't do anything if they don't detect hostiles. So, they may be out of range. To force them to do something - when out of range (and no hostiles are detected) - select each one (see the TacOps section of the manual) and give them a direct order.

I have ABSOLUTELY ZERO tolerance for foolishness and you should know this already. If you had a bug to report, you should've done and using the proper channels instead of arguing with me about something that I know for a FACT is untrue. As soon as YOU have a saved game in which this condition can be reproduced, your posting priviledges will be restored. [ 07-14-2003, 09:03 AM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

quote: Originally posted by Shadow: In my case, I have no artifacts. Kendrick keeps damaging systems without remorse. I noticed it started with the aquisition of Fleet C&C. I tried docking with star-stations and nothing changed. The only solution that puts an end to his damaging systems for no reason is taking him off duty ... that means either sick-bay or brig. Anywhere else and he comes back on his own. As soon as his "on station" indicator comes on, the system goes down again. Rubbish. Kendrick does not do ANY damage to ANYTHING. The only conditions under which you will take damage are during combat, intruder damage or if you have volatile minerals (they will react and cause an explosion which can propage from the cargo bay to other areas on the ship) in your cargo bay. And when you upgrade a system, it is downgraded prior to repairs. Thats not damaging it per se.

quote: Originally posted by TopSpeed: I sent the saved games to the support email address. Because of the file sizes, I only included the first and last save games. Thanks If you didn't follow the instructions for sending saved games, as indicated in the thread located in the forum archives, the files are useless to me and will be deleted. If you had read that thread, you shouldn't have sent more than one saved game - the one will the problem. Also, emails with attachments sent to the support address, are deleted on reception.

quote: Originally posted by Kasey Chang: Send Resnig to Detention Hold via Tactical/Crew. Wait until he goes there (confirm with Perscan). Go back to BridgeViewer. In CVD, keep hitting L until you get to "crew status display" (CSD). CO's location: BRIG. OK, that BRIG abreviation is the short form for DETENTION HOLD because the latter won't fit in a 640x480 resolution (hence the reason this res isn't even supported or available in BCG). But they are the same thing. Its been in there since the very first BC3K it seems. Also, unlike prisoners who cannot leave that location, personnel can go to and leave that location at will. ps: look in ENGLISH.LNG line 279 and you'll see what I mean.

You've got your work cut out for you. There are 28 space regions (Lyrius being one of them) with more than one moon, hence MOON-02. You can go trolling around in the NAVDATA.INI file and search for MOON-02. This will give you an idea of which regions they are. Note that space regions always have a Z at the end of the name (e.g. TRAMIS is the planet and TRAMISZ is the space region where the planet is located).

My take? Its gonna suck.

....gits without a clue OK, here is how the word Rubbish is explained rubbish n. Refuse; garbage. Worthless material. Foolish discourse; nonsense. Now add the words, complete and utter to this term, and you'll come up with complete and utter rubbish. Which describes this movie. 2/10 (just because Sean Connery and Peta Wilson are in it. They each get 1 star for effort and for even being in the movie).

quote: Originally posted by Tyrn: quote:Originally posted by TopSpeed: I have been using the Logistix screen. Logistix-Crafts-CC-Deck 3. Weapons Pod #2 is red, with 0% integrity. When I click on it, the menu for repair, replace, and upgrade is present, but none of the options can be selected (they aren't greyed out, are light but not highlighted). Then, as Pugwash suggests above, it's likely that the parts are still in an asset cargo bay (shuttle, OC) or you're docked at a station. Repairs at stations usually work whereas replacements at station usually DO NOT work (that is by design). Correct. And the primary reason for stations not always giving your full repairs is to curb abuse (get your ship shot up, make a beeline for the nearest station). And that is also why replacements are only done by your crew.

quote: Originally posted by Kasey Chang: quote:Originally posted by Tyrn: SC1 is an abbreviation indication Shuttle Craft 1 and Detention Hold and Brig are NOT equivalent terms. I throw prisoners in the Brig (indicating that they are jailed) whereas I assign marines to the Detention Hold and they are NOT in the the Brig. I'd beg to differ. On the CVD, there's this choice that tracks where the officers are. If you send one of your officers to detention hold, on this CVD screen it shows as BRIG, not DETENTION HOLD. (Well, in case of Resnig, they probably ARE the same). There is an assignment and then there is a location. Don't confuse the two. And please tell me where you saw the term BRIG being used. I'm curious because I don't remember using any such term in the game. You must have seen BRIDGE. And the reason I abbreviated shuttle (Shuttle Craft), fighter (Fighter Craft), vehicles (Other Craft)is....well, if you've seen the icons in areas such as Tactical, Tacops etc, then you know the answer. Abbreviations are not alternate terms. They're just that. Abbreviations.
