    This man's army?


    SC wouldnt this be more like a Space Navy? and Phreddo they are giving u multi-billiob dollar space craft, they did say get it damaged

    Which brings up a related question...

    When docked at a star station, they obviously have a TON more spare parts than a ship does, and repairs and such can use parts that are not present on a ship.

    Do those parts get charged to the ship? Or are they "gratis"?

    kindness of the Station Commander?

    It's nice to play a game that doesn't specifically revolve around the player, for once.

    what u talking bout? my game revolves around me, if i dont cut it on and play it dont revolve (ok i stretched that one a bit, but u know)

    but i feel u, this game is deep,and im so dying to try out laying seige to a station, its gotta be fun to know ur enemy is helpless

    ***Begin RP***

    On seiged station

    Base Commander (BC): Lt. is that fleet still out there?

    Lt: Yes Sir it is. They are destroying and pillaging all transports that enter the system.

    BC: How can this happen, they must have an intelligent Fleet Commander.

    Elite Forces Marine (EFM): Commander Sir?

    BC: Yes?

    EFM: We are out of teepee Sir. Haven't the transports arrived yet?

    BC: No, an enemy fleet is destroying them all as they enter the system.

    EFM: NOOOOOOOO! I need some teepee! WHY ME!?

    On the Enemy Fleet Commander's Ship's Bridge

    Fleet Commander (FC): Resnig, what did we get from this last transport?

    Resnig: Teepee Sir?

    FC: TEEPEE?!

    Resnig: Yes Sir.

    FC: Thats it, notify the fleet, were taking that station, NOW!

    Back on station

    Lt: Sir, the enemy fleet has come about. They are jumping into hyperspace. Its an attack, reading 35+ ships.

    BC: All hands, man your battle stations. This is not a drill.

    ***End RP***

    Well that worked, NOT, both the link and the link it points to, do not work.

    Care to explain the experiment in your own words?

    worked for me, but what a guy did was fry an egg on his CPU

    -he made a heatsink out of the clip and some 1p and 2p coins (p = pence i think, uk site some im fairly sure)

    -then he made a skillet out of aluminum foil

    -with the skillet on the make shift heat sink he cracked the egg into it

    -the heat from the cpu cooked the egg in 11min

    -then he added the cooked egg to some bread and eat it

    -hes thinking for trying bacon next

    i think the guys a loon but hey to each his own

  4. played the demo, it was good for a nice diversion, but it plays to fast. i tried an economic build up, and the enemy was always close behind, i wasnt able to gain any real advantage, he had the same capabilities soon after i had them

    Now answer me this, because I've seen enemy fighters, and this shuttle do the same thing... do assets' hyperjumps recharge a
    LOT
    faster than a CC's? Or whats going on here?

    ur correct, FC and SC recharge a lot faster, and some CC charge faster than other CC. it has to do with the ships mass, a bigger ship with more mass isnt easy to move

  6. i dont have the same problem, but i do have a simular one. hope this is the right thread for it

    i have 2 systems that wont repair past 99%, iv tried using my SysEng and Galcoms. ones on FC 3 and the others on SC 3. i used to get the same problem in BCM, but if they system got damaged again then it would be able to repair back to 100%

    im not sure if they were only damaged to 99% and just wont go higher or if they were lower and i got them to 99% and then they failed to complete

    Hit E to turn on the EMD and then turn in any direction. should lose the missle, but u wont beable to use ur missles either. hit E again to cut EMD off

    btw wait 'til u get boarded (if you havent yet) and u realize some or all of ur supplies, FC, SC and OC are gone, and Resnig can only say sorry

    There is a defense against them

    1. Cloaking system

    2. EMD system

    3. Hyperspace

    4. Team of marines

    Plus, the game does not allow them to transport anything other than humans on to your ship. So that thing about transporting bombs to your ship, is moot.

    If I disabled the ability to transport with the shields up, then, considering how cheap shield minerals are, you'd never get boarded and several features which were implemented for the sheer fun factor (e.g. panicking when you hear of intruders and you subsequently stare at the Perscan screen as your hapless marines file their nails) would never be experienced.

    I mean, the sheer hilarity of staring at the Perscan screen and knowing that some pointy eared wanker has somehow lifted an entire reactor block from your cargo bay, has it on his shoulder and is, right about now, running down AFT Corridor 1 to a shuttle bay, is just something you rarely get to experience in a game.

    Or, knowing that the pair of intruders fiddling around in the Launch Bay, are about to kill your two best fighter pilots, scramble the launch codes for your fighter and steal it.

    Or, knowing that the four bastards milling about in the Launch Bay, have, between them, half your fortune shoved into a shuttle and just waiting for an AI tick to occur so they can take off.

    ....is not something you can ignore.

    For me, during design, development and testing, I can stare at Perscan for long periods, just thinking up all manner of funny things that I can imagine going on with those pesky intruders.

    .....which is what got me thinking ....what if you could do that in full 3D? I mean, look at Perscan, see two intruders strolling down AFT Corridor 1 as if they owned the damn ship. Then you hit a button, enter the ship in 3D, grab a weapon and go after the barstards. Thats how I came up with the idea for the first person in ship module (BCTC) I dreamt up several years ago and which I hope to implement in BCO or the XBox game based on the BC universe.

    You just have to use your imagination. Everything feature in this game, was carefully thought out. I didn't just sit down one morning and figured that I would allow transporting through shields, just because. I had a reason for doing that. The same reasons which drive the games in this long running series. While not logical to you, they are logical to me. Hence me being the designer of the game that I envisioned. See what I mean? Why ask why?

    im sorry SC, but that was just to funny. the whole time i was reading it, i could picture it happening. especially the part about an intruder taking a reactor block on his shoulder and taking it though the ship to the shuttle bay.

    Guys see Greg's post regarding GeForce4 MX's They are really misleading folks by referring to it as GeForce4. They are not GeForce4Ti and that 35 bucks aint that big of a bargain

    i never said the 4MX were great, i just said it was a big boost compared to my 2MX

    and to me $35 isnt bad for a cheapo card, until i build my new computer with a 9800 or 9900 if its out by then, my GeForce4 MX 420 is gonna havta do

  10. i went from a GeForce 2MX to a GeForce 4MX 420 and it was a big boost, no pixel shaders, but i can run games alot better now, got it at best buy openboxed at like $40-45 and it had a $10 rebate

    not the best i know, but it gets the job done

    Race Bannon IV, i agree ppl seem to forget that iraq is only a small part in terrorism. there are enough cells to still hurt the US something proper

    So get a grip, without money, these terrorists cannot do near the damage that they do now.

    Suicide belts cost money, guns cost money, ammunition costs money.

    others are and will fund them, and ud be amazed what stolen money, hijacked goods and household junk can and will do

  12. when the term 'all hell has broke lose' was made, they couldnt have been more right. the US has made its gravest mistake ever. now before i get labeled as a sympathizer or something else, im not. i do feel Saddam is a madman and should be taken care of, but war wasnt the way. his ppl are ready to defend him and die for him, they really sound oppresed to me.

    the Shia and Kurds are oppressed, but to make it sound like the whole nation is is a lie. also democracy doesnt do much better, russia has one and ppl have said they used to beable to feed thier families with communism and now they cant get jobs or food. and what is democacy doing for us? 10000 jobs are expected to get remove in the CA education system, plus all those who lost jobs after the wtc event, and rate hiking on gas are not what id call good examples of democracy

    by going to war, we could now be considered a rogue nation, and that would allow the rest of the world (with many who hate us and would love a crack at us) to come in an take over. they would do it in the name of world peace

    if anyone remembers, the US armed irag to fight iran, then when saddam started being a dictator and a sick bastard, we turned the other way till '91 allowed us a chance to attack him, and not have it be an aggressive assault.

    and i want u all to think about this, war is waged to take the land, people and resources of another nation for your own good

    we are going to find that France has been supplying Saddam with spare parts for his war machine, which is against UN resolutions, and illegal. We are also going to find out that Germany has been supplying technology to Iraq to make biological and chemical weapons. And it is going to come out that France, Russia, and Germany, ALL have lucrative contracts with Saddam regarding those wonderful oil fields we are all talking about.

    Ok fair enough, Germany should get punished if they are, but Iraq has just as much right as any country to maintain an army to defend its country against an aggressor. So what if France supplied another country with weapons. Have u so easily forgotten the US has done the same in the past and continues to do so now? We have armed most the terrorist cells in the world and abandoned them after they did what we wanted them to do for us. And ppl wonder y they hate us

    And is it illegal for them to have access to oil? Is the US the only one allowed to have the oil so we can sell it back to most countries while leaving our stockpiles alone? That way the world will have to pay a fortune for 1 barrel when thier supplies have run out we have the only supplies left?

    heres a thought u you all

    America was founded on distrust of big governments, so why do we have one now?
