quote: Originally posted by Sir John Falstaff: I am having a devil of a time with all the bloody mercs out there. It seems like every time I jump in system there is a merc chasing a diplomat. I get to watch the whole bloody gory mess unfold while watching the HJ meter slowly creep up. And I get blamed for it and lose ep. The diplomat did not log flight plans with me. I just happened in system when the dip got plastered. Why doesn't the dip get a bloody escort before roaming around all God's known space into hostile territory. You'd think they bloody well knew that there were mercs out there with as many of them that get destroyed.... No matter how many mercs I waste they keep comming back. They are pesky vermin. Is there a way to eliminate or hamper their spawning? heh, the life of a commander

So what you are telling me is that you have a pirated copy of my game. How did you register to post on this site without a CDKEY? I know thats not possible. So you must have got a CDKEY from somewhere in order for your registration to be approved. Epsilon5 - or any French speaking person - please see if you can confirm what exactly it is I am assuming here before I pull out the chain gun.

eh, wot?!?

quote: Originally posted by Tyrn: I mean look at it from jascatar's point of view: What if BCMG were written and supported only in French? The fact that jascatar is being so persistent is proof that the game is indeed for him. If he were trashing the game, which he isn't at all, then I would agree. I have to agree. But its still annoying that he continues to post while ignoring my questions. I mean, what I'd like to know is, if he has the printed manual, whats he doing with the downloadable online manual for BC3K?!?! So, Jaskatar, why are you using that very old manual (and causing us such headache)? Also, which version of the game (BCM or BCM Gold) do you have and where did you buy it?

quote: Originally posted by aggressor27: quote:Originally posted by Kasey Chang: So how is it that a PTA turret on a Warmonger can do 150 while one Main Gun only does 50? Because you have bout 4 to 6 of 'em firing in unison. And, technically, their use is limited to a few hundred meters, so the power boost is to compensate for what it lacks in range. (Correct me if I'm wrong, of course) Rubbish. Siddown quote: Originally posted by Kasey Chang: So how is it that a PTA turret on a Warmonger can do 150 while one Main Gun only does 50? Thats not how it works. e.g. the Warmonger has 5 main guns. Each has a shot rating of 100 units. Each time it fires, if all shots hit the target, thats a total damage of (5x100) = 500 units. But the shots degrade over time, depending on how far they have to travel before hitting the target. It also has 4 turrets. Each one has a damage rating of 100 units (the appendix says 150, but I had reduced it and probably didn't let Gallion know to revise it). As the turret laser cuts through the target, if sustained, 100 units of damage is applied per ms.

quote: Originally posted by Kasey Chang: Does getting hit and let fuel regenerate use up more plutonium? And does having better shield generators affect shield fuel consumption rate? No Yes (check the manual and appendix)

quote: Originally posted by jascatar: ok, i have just seen that the manual posted on the web site is different than the BCMG manual. Sorry for that (i don't like manuals, only pdf file because searching is MUCH faster) Sorry for the mistake. U can remove this post What PDF manual? And where exactly did you get a PDF manual for the game?

No. Siddown. And next time, please don't create a new topic when something is already being discussed in another topic.

You see, all the intruders are from Ancient Japan and belive in Death before Dishonor. When they realize that they are going to be captured they destroy themselves in the most spectacular and damaging way they can. Actually I got back such a shuttle once. I basically chased after it and tractored it. I got "Attempt recovery (Y/N)?" prompt. I answered yes, and the shuttle is in my shuttle bay (nobody onboard). There was nobody onboard to booby trap it

I mean the bigger the object the more Friction it cause's that MIGHT be why CC's can't go into the atmosphere cause its to large and disrupts whatever is in the atmosphere causeing the ship to take damage Where as a smaller ship, Shuttlecraft, doesn't cause that much friction.. there for it doesn't take damage Rubbish quote: Originally posted by Sir John Falstaff: And, oddly enough, they hate commanders. That prisoner I beamed down? I didn't look closely enough. He didn't expire. He went prone. He is still alive and well. So I sent down Resnig to take a look. I mean, if he dies in a hideous corrosive atmosphere big deal, right? He's standing there with his thumb up his nose looking at the probe. I sent down a pilot, a syseng, a flteng, a marine, and a medic. They're all having a conversation in a little circle around the probe! So it must be safe!!!! Nope. I beam down and die instantly with the rumble of thunder. "Don't stand there gawping like you've never seen the hand 'o God before!" Well... Thank the Maker for saved games. There is a very good reason for that. Hence the mystery of the Galaxians.

OK, if I come back tonite and don't find an answer to my question, I'm restricting your ability to post. I don't have time for foolishness.

quote: Originally posted by Kalshion: Geez I can't even post my thoughts.. I decided to restore your posting rights because I think I should've warned you first. Anyway, if you can't be nice to the newbies, be like ice i.e. freeze and don't post.

I think that info is in the crafts section of the appendix. Depending on how anal Gallion is (compared to me)

quote: Originally posted by aggressor27: I have the same problem, but could it be because I am using a throttle instead of mouse/keyboard flight? This is the joystick I am using. Either way, I'm not too worried about it. As MTS is convvenient, I find dogfights more exciting when I have to adjust speed and pitch manually per Falcon 4.0. It works just fine, regardless of the controller you are using. quote: Originally posted by jascatar: I don't thing that this fonction work ... matching speed is : your speed = target speed ... yes ? No ? Didn't I ask you some questions? Were you planning on answering or did you want me to repeat myself? If the manual is incorrect, I need to correct it. So, I need the information I asked you for please.

Saw this on Wired. It is amazing how someone's life can change by someone's false and/or stupid remark and flippancy.

Here is what I said in another thread quote: Lets put it this way, the beta testers have the GBS-II sdk because they know how to use it and they don't harrass me (at least not often) about how it works. If I had any confidence that this board won't be flooded with tech support nightmares once that tool is released (e.g. some git modding something which a n00b goes and grabs, then nukes his environment), I would have released it, as-is, by now. As it stands, the decision is up to the testers (especially folks like Gallion, Pugwash, Mano etc who know how to use the various tools in it) to convince me to release it. After all, if I ignore the QA sessions in the GBS thread (which is where they belong), they are the ones who would have to answer them. So, you folks can ask them. They'll discuss it with me in Area 51 and I'll make a decision based on that. Other than that, I'm not likely to release it to the public as I had originally planned.

quote: Originally posted by Marvin: How would modded ships function under multiplayer? They won't because the server will reject any entity which fails a CRC check. So, while someone might sneak in, but as soon as an update packet is sent and the server knows about it, the client will be ejected and banned.

quote: Originally posted by Kalshion: Geez I can't even post my thoughts.. Fair enough. Now you're not going to be able to post for a week. I've said this once before (and I thought that was all it took) and I'll say it again, if you (not you, but everyone) can't be nice and helpfull - especially to n00bs, DON'T POST.

And especially not without a fleet and a helluva lot of patience. And the regularity it not some random number or event, it is dependent on the AI kernel and the NPCs which roam the galaxy.
