Man SC, I don't think I deserve to be threatened to be kicked off the site for asking for help. Nor anyone for attempting to help me. Kinda defeats the purpose of the board doesn't it? I haven't been playing this game long enough to know a bug from a goof up on my end. Hope I can fiqure it out before I get kicked off. Pressure is on man!

Oh yeah, flown to Lyrius and to Earth moon. STILL can't deploy drones! Seems like that option is gone for good. Haaaaaaaeeelp!!!

Hi. Some really strange things have been happening in BCM to this poor Noob. Maybe someone can explain. I've been hanging in orbit around Mars doing shuttle runs to the Sirus system running missiles for $$$$. I noticed suddenly that I couldn't deploy my drones on Mars. In Tacops, when I make a waypoint for my shuttle, the waypoint options don't enclude "Deploy Drone" anymore. ????? So, next problem...been flying the shuttles down myself and deploying the drones but I noticed when flying over Mars that it's REALLY slow and choppy. Noticed in Tacops the cursor is really slow and choppy moving over the Mars landscape(observer mars). Also, when I click on a mission area...the labels aren't there anymore. What the frek is going on???!!!! Can't find my drones in Tacops after deployment either. Really strange stuff. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks spacemen.

Hey, thanks for the info. I think I might have ejected my pod. If you select an item in the cargo screen, then hit the "eject" button when the transfer screen comes up, that ejects the pod, or just that item? Oops. If you do eject it...can't you pick it up on radar and recover it? Anyway, thanks again for the info.

Thanks for the reply SC. Still can't see how to access the cargo pod or how to eject it. Also, what is the procedure for transfering a "fighter asset" from the cargo bay to the fighter bay? It seems it doesn't show up automatically in the fighter bay after you purchase a new fighter. Great game. Having a blast. Thanks.

Gotta noob question. I had a fighter destroyed so I bought a new "fighter asset" which I'm hoping means a new fighter. I was trying to fiqure out how to get it to show in the fighter bay as it was showing in the cargo manifest but not in the fighter bay. Anyway, I ended up getting into the cargo pod. How do I get it back? The manual says you can eject the pod from the bridge but I sure can't fiqure out how. I'm hoping I can eject it and have a shuttle pick it up and get my fighter back. Help appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have a PZ in roam mode?! Thanks for the replys. Pretty sure I haven't destroyed any friendly ships.

Hi. I am new to BCM and loving it. Been playing in roam in my BK MK3, mining mostly. Just noticed that I have -21,000 or so EP points. ????? How did I get negitive points? I have only engaged about 3 ships so far, all enemy. Destroyed nothing else. Like I said, just been mining mostly. Anyone enlighten me? Thanks.
