heh, that sort of crap between publishers and third party devs is nothing new. You just don't hear about it often.

When I tried installing it, it makes you do some stuff with fileplanet, and it also seems to want to install another application along with the demo. I am not desperate enough to go through that to try the demo out....yet. Its the EZ-Pad app that Fileplanet uses to authenticate the key you need to run it. The regular demo should be out sometime today and thats the one I'm probably going to get.

Any one else played it yet? Considering the number of space sim fans we have here, I find it highly unlikely that only one or two people were in a rush to grab it. And am not sure what to make of the various degrees of comments in the FL community. I haven't tried it yet. Been too busy. [ 02-23-2003, 09:41 PM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

If you own this game and are waiting for a patch, you might want to read this. All thirteen pages of it.

I was running weapons, spare parts, and minerals from Galcom HQ to Wraith in SC1. CC is a Firestorm out of Starpath. I don't know what triggered the situation, so can't be more specific about re-creating it. Sorry. If you have a saved game, read the archive forum which shows you how to pack up a saved game and where to send it. quote: Item 2). SNG, launch from Starpath. I flew a Firestorm first time, and have recreated the situation using a BC Mk 3. Crew all 4 shuttles. Observe Phobos, and set a Deploy Drone waypoint for each shuttle in different time zones (i.e. spread across the moon). Launch the shuttles - they fly to their waypoints, deploy the drones, and RTB. Send AE to any shuttle, launch, and fly to Phobos. Make planetfall, and use TACSCAN in SUL mode to check the ranges to the drones. Then Extract Drone 1 using the Mining Drone Options menu, and re-deploy it. Repeat for the other drones. They are extracted instantaneously, irrespective of range. Hope this helps. OK, you can still do this from the shuttle menu is what you are saying then? And what is the range to the drone from the shuttle (from the CVD video mode). Can you also do this from a waypoint? If not, then I must have forgotten to put this restriction in that HUD menu. WARNING: I hope that you are in fact running the LATEST version of the game and is properly patched. If I get any files from you and the saved games are not from the current build, I won't be a happy camper. Saying I'm sorry (after wasting my valuable time) is NOT GOING TO CUT IT. So, be sure to check CAREFULLY before you send me on a wild goose chase. You have been warned. [ 02-23-2003, 08:57 PM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Yeah, I kinda liked this one too. In fact, I saw it right after that travesty, Final Destination 2. urgh!

I have upgraded the board to the latest UBB version. The ranks indicated by number of posts have also been revised. Also, if you post a message and edit it within 10 mins, the text indicating that it was edited, will not be entered in the post. You can edit/delete your post at any time - I have removed the time limit during which you were able to delete/edit a post. Also new registered members now get a welcome PM. Here is what I put in it. quote: Hello there, and welcome to the Battlecruiser boards. As you will see, this board is a very well organized and private invitation-only board. As such, we like to keep things nice, clean and orderly around here. No disruption. No profanity. No flaming. No repetition. No rubbish. The rules are simple. Play nice or be banned. We usually DO NOT give out warnings! Posting off-topic in forums will result in the message being deleted. If the post was insulting, inflammatory or similar, you will also be banned. Posting any inflammatory, insulting, flamebait or similar, will result in the message and/or thread being deleted and you being banned. Banning is done at IP level. This means that no matter what you do, there is a very good chance that you'd never even be able to read the board - even if you can't post. The first thing you want to do is go to the forum archives and read the thread about including your system profile in your forum signature. This helps tech support personnel take one look at your sig and have access to your profile (which you provided when you registered your game) without having you ask you for it - and have you type it all in again. If you need tech support, use the search function first. It is very, very powerful and you will usually find what you are looking for if you use the correct search term. You should probably also go to the particular tech support section and set the forum to display all topics in that section, you can then probably find what you are looking for without having to be repetitive. We HATE repetition around here - and again, if you create a thread about something that has already been covered, it will be deleted. If you don't find your problem, then you can go ahead and either create a new topic in the relevant section or create a new post in a similar and/or related thread. Be sure to include a full detailed listing of the problem you are having. Nobody around here has a crystal ball and nobody gets a babysitter. If you are smart enough to play games such as these, you should be smart enough to be able to provide comprehensive information. Bottom line, without proper information, we can't help you. One more thing, if you do decide to create a new topic (in the forums where you are allowed to), make sure that you do NOT have ANY spelling errors in the topic. If you do, the entire thread will be deleted on sight! Spelling errors in posts is part of the Net pop culture and is acceptable. But this is not the Usenet nor some free-for-all board on the Net. When in doubt, make a beeline for www.dictionary.com and check the spelling before posting. If English is not your first language, think twice before creating a new thread. When in doubt, find an English language translator for your native language. Any spelling errors in topic subjects will result in the thread being deleted. NO EXCEPTIONS. The General Discussion forum is the free-for-all area. But even there, we have limits. Again, no profanity, flaming etc. Heated political, sociological or similar debates are usually quite tame - but the message usually still gets across. Be civilized. The average age of a Battlecruiser gamer is 27. As such, most are adults. There are very few kiddies around here. Probably because they've all probably been banned at some point or another for something or the other. Or they don't post. Again, welcome. This is Derek Smart, your Supreme Commander. WARNING If you even think of sending me a direct email or a PM about something related to the board, tech support or similar. Two things will happen (1) I will delete the PM or email (2) I will disable your posting rights. I have an email address for hate/fan mail. Use it. This way, I can either read it and respond or delete it - as I see fit. Then probably stick you an email killfilter. I'll never hear from you again. If you have to report a forum post, use the Report Post feature so that it goes to an admin. If you have to report something related to the board, use the Community Action Team email available on the board. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

You can't set waypoint for personnel teams. That feature was removed. I forgot to add an entry for it in the manual rev notes. You can give each deployed person specific orders by SHIFT+left-click to access the orders menu. [ 02-23-2003, 08:51 AM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

If you like cop movies, you'll like this one. Kurt Russell is damn good in it. 10/10

Brilliant! Just brilliant! The endgame plot twist will astound you. Unless of course you are psychic and figured out 30 mins earlier. 10/10

The first step to demonstrating a problem, is to provide steps for each one. Then you say ...I have a saved game that shows this Outside of this procedure, you're wasting your time.

Read about it here

quote: Originally posted by Epsilon 5: He did mention BCO 2 times, enuff for me Its about conversation flow. If you noticed, Remo and every post after that, didn't focus on BCO because its not currently on the radar. In short, we pretty much ignored it because the flow of conversation dealt with MP in the short-term - as such, has nothing to do with BCO. Whether he mentions it or not.

quote: Originally posted by Epsilon 5: For BCO is will depend on the amount of people there is. If there's alot of people on the server it's hard to follow everything, and as sad as it is if you start banning every trouble maker around you'll lose alot of money AND you'll get a bad reputation (!), the game will be called a "carebear" game/server. Pay attention. Nobody was talking about BCO.

quote: Originally posted by Emmett.hendrick: I agree it will probably be like the early days of the board - you got to remember Derek runs a tight ship and there are NO exceptions. Exactly. Sure, we'll have some griefers every now and then, but with server kicks, bans, IP blocks etc, I don't think we'll have that much of a problem.

I just got wind of this and apparently its coming out for the XBox as well.

hey, at least you're learning

Hey, we forgot about Nemo!! Man, that is one angry superhero with a God complex.

I added two more shots from that set I took. One of them shows the station shields.

quote: Originally posted by Wolferz: I opted for image 2 every time I look at it I hear Mr Brooks telling me,"Bridge has been damaged" heh, thats probably whats happening there. That electrical field you see is the hull armor taking direct hits because the shield is 100% breached (shield state goes from Blue to Red in the other shots).

quote: Originally posted by Grayfox: well i guess that settles it... im glad i didnt waste the full price to go see it opening day... ill blow 5$ and take the kid to see it on a matinee this weekend. Hellbinder sums it up pretty nicely. And I'm quite certain that given time, he'd be able to rip the entire movie apart (as I did while watching it) scene for scene. It is just Marvel falling prey to the Hollywood money. They know for a fact that Daredevil, Electra and Bullseye are no super human. Yet, they allow crap like this. Daredevil, since the first issue is a regular human with heightened senses and excellent acrobatic skills (not unlike Batman). The only believable parts is where he gets his ass kicked by Electra and Bullsye in some parts. But thats it. Then again, that happens to all superheroes - so nothing revealing there. This movie was just plain bad and apart from the characters (heh, in the comics, Kingpin in White. Go figure), the movie wasn't true to any aspect of the Daredevil mythos by any stretch of the imagination. There is a damn good reason that the next Superman movie, that Fantastic Four movie etc have been languishing in script (and other areas) hell for many, many years. X-Men and Spiderman increased our hopes for good superhero movies. Then these fockers come along and ruin one of my all-time favorite characters with this piece of crap. As if it wasn't bad enough that the other idiots go and turn Blade2 into a literally unwatchable (to me at least) gorefest slash flick (I'm still pissed by that one). Funny enough, I have high hopes for Ang Lee's Hulk and Eric Bana (Black Hawk Down) is a very good and believable actor. Then there's X-Men2 which is looking great.
