The GD review is up

Because they are NOT shown, and all places EXCEPT Prisoner list shows the SC1 crew being 1 (the marine I put in as pilot). It's almost as if they're in LIMBO. They're not crew quote: I may try to beam them off to the planet below... Someone else suggested that. You can't - because you can't send them anywhere off the ship. I think I disabled that a while back.

quote: Originally posted by jascatar: yes, this is a common problem, heavily related anywhere on this forum. You MUST be in space to upgrade !!! NOT in station ! This is because, in the single player, time does not pass when you are docked. If it did, you'd have some serious problems e.g. a repair which would take one hour - WILL - require you to be docked at the station for one full hour. Instead when you launch, the times are re-calculated. This was done for gameplay reasons.

The playmod.txt file contains all the locations. It should be easy to figure out how the links are made if you know that a corridor runs through each deck and turbo shafts link all decks etc etc

Thats a funny one quote: Originally posted by aggressor27: YKYBPTMBCW Your wife wants a friggin' divorce, and I've barely had the game. ack, thats easy, we've all been there at some point or another. Join the club.

heh, let us know what color the Gammulans paint that bullseye on your back, once they're done with you.

quote: Originally posted by Eclipse: ODS have very limited firing arcs, they are supposed to knock out ships trying to establish orbit with a planet (whenever SC gets it implemented ). In their current incarnation if you time a jump right they shouldn't be too hard to kill since you aren't locked in an orbit. Sometimes - if you're unlucky and paying attention to a station when an ODS comes into range, well then.

quote: Originally posted by jascatar: hi hi no, SARON is the best TRELLIS manufacturer (and Majoris is worst) For this reason it is not expensive Yep, they're selling underclocked TRELLIS units

quote: Originally posted by FCSN_Perches: the appendix mentioned that i could retrieve the random weapon and re use it. That was changed. You can no longer retrieve it. Once it detonates, you have to go and buy another one.

quote: Originally posted by MIKE113: You know I just took it for granted that it was for the Moon. I haven't been to the Sol system in a while. It is for the moon. The reason its listed that way is because they share the same space region. All the info is decoded directly from the DATANAVCHART.INI file

quote: Originally posted by jascatar: What have I missed ? The manual?

quote: Originally posted by Bandus: 1.) Will there be an auto save feature? No

quote: Originally posted by Eclipse: 1. I believe it is the same for all planets in system though I could be wrong because I haven't been able to find the values in GBS as of yet Wrong. And it has nothing to do with the GBS. Look in the TRADCOM/INFO screen when docked at a station/base.

quote: Originally posted by Kasey Chang: SupCmdr on a different site/forum suggested taking the shuttle and dock it to the base, but that didn't work. Then I'd say you're screwed and stuck with them. Launch the shuttle. Destroy it. But a new one. Replace it. Intruder problem solved.

quote: Originally posted by Kasey Chang: 2) At what point does the crew refuse your orders? For example, you order the doctor, who's extremely tired (86% fatigue) to report to her own medibay for some treatment. Yet she sat in her quarters and stubbornly remains 'off-duty'. She doesn't think she's tired, even though you think so. Leave her alone and she'll take whatever action she deems necessary when the time comes - assuming she can travel the path required to get to Medibay.

The AB uses +10% of whatever level of Radine currently in use.

quote: Originally posted by FCSN_Perches: I got a few ideas.. Thats funny, I don't remember asking for any This is not a wish list thread. Even so, your ideas add nothing beneficial to the game BCG has been on a feature freeze for six months and not open to anything new. You need to read ALL the posts in this thread to get an idea of why this thread exists.

quote: Originally posted by aggressor27: Actually, I think I can relate to how you hard core fans and veterans alike felt about my mistake. That's like someone telling me you can fire .223 rounds from an M249. My apologies. *splutter* LMAO!!!

quote: Originally posted by jascatar: ok, i have founded the problem : it's Windows 2003 server that goes wrong (not the drivers that are all updated monthly) To work, you must go on the properties of bcm.exe, select "Compatibility", and enable compatibility mode for Windows 2000. And no more problems ..... All work nicely now The game was NOT designed to run under Windows 2000 Server Edition. quote: Originally posted by aggressor27: Waiting 5 to 10 seconds has plenty to do with it because, like refered eirlier in this thread, if your HD is not formatted, or not formatted properly, it will take time for the program to read data from the HD. And any key stroke or action required within the game may cause the game to freeze, or go into suspension, while it is still trying to collect data, even after the program is running. The game doesn't just read from your HD at the start up screen, it constantly uploads data. I'm not trying to be offensive, just offering my advice. I apologize if there is any mistake. This is NOTHING to do with the HDD format. What you are describing is a disk fragmentation issue. And which has NOTHING to do with the game.

ROTFLMAO!!

quote: Originally posted by aggressor27: 1) Will the player be able to configure/customize key commands? 2) Will crew (ie Marines) Be able to board or intrude enemy ships via the transporter? 3) Will Commanders be allowed to purchase more fighter/shuttle assets beyond their Carrier's cap? No Probably (its on the feature list and NYI. So, it might not make the final cut due to time constraints) No quote: Originally posted by Pyromaniac: The one thing that will make me happy in BCG, is the improved ground based attention. BCM has the ship combat down great, except for the immediate stopping of ships, which has already been said. I'm just wondering the following... 1)Will OC's has moving componets? Like turrets, wheels, ect. 2)Will you really be able to fire your handheld weapon when inside an OC? Some screenshots I saw looked like you could. 3)Will water based crafts be able to interact with the surface at all? 4)Obviously, a submarine can not hyperjump, so do you have to stay in one area, or mission zone? Thats it, thanks for your time. Yes Probably Meaning what? Well, yeah

GameSpot weighs in

whoa!!! our old friend is alive and well!!!

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.

The game wasn't saved
