  1. I have four mining drones mining their little hearts out at a moon. Now I went and bought another mining drone from GalComHQ but it wont let me load it into a SC it says drone unavailable despite the fact that I have 1 in my cargo manifest. Whats up with that?
  2. Okay I know I havent been playing BCM for a long time or anything but I can't help but ask. Why would anyone bother playing a commercial, explorer, trader, scientist, diplomat castes? Seriously I can see the slight benefit of not having enemies pick you off first thing and their ships have a lot large goods capacity but in the grand sceme of things what good is that? I have been playing a commercial caste flying a Tarin MK2. My ship has two pidly defense turrets which I can't use offensivly to well as well as the ability to lay mines. Sure I can run huge ammounts of goods from system to system which I do but that seems to be all I can do. I am currently mining Saturn for even more money which is an intresting change of pace. Though it seems thats all I am limited to doing mining and trading. I will never be able to go out on hunts or antyhing, I can even fire a missle. Anyhow to my grand question can someone tell me if I have been wasting my time playing commercial cast or is there some grand redeming feature that I am missing? Why not just join the Military, Galcom or Insurgent and hop in a Super Carrier and do everything I can now with the added firepower? Or heck even just join one of them and get my ol Tarin MK2 which all have access to and do what I did? I hope someone can help me I feel kind of frusrated when putting in a lot of time on this ship already. [ 08-04-2002, 02:40 AM: Message edited by: Justsomeguy ]
  3. Greetings and good day all. Thank you to all that have helped me now I am offering my services. Does anyone here have much use for a Terran comercial caste member? I am a hard worker and as well as making money I can act as a supply ship. I hope I can find a home with people who apreciate my rather supportive rather than offensive or defensive role.
  4. Okay then but how do I find the starbase once I do land???
  5. Thanks I didnt think anything of the static. Okay since thats solved anyone know how to land on a Starbase or even find one on a planet?
  6. ----=====Intruder Alert=====---- Ah, after I made some decent cash running craft parts to Genesis and OC and FC parts to GalcomHQ I loaded up on weapons, STS mostly which are bought cheap at GalcomHQ and launched off to Varan the closest planet with high inflation. Shortly into the Alpha Centari system I got the intruder alert. Within minutes 7 out of my 10 marines where dead, 1 was in the medbay with less than 10% health and the other two were searching. How did this happen? No ships where near me, I had been doing sold hyper space jumps since I left GalcomHQ. How do I prevent this from happening again and where did they come from? NOTE: Shields were off could that of contributed? Though no ships were anywhere near me the whole trip. ADDED: Okay this time I made it to Varan and its a starbase so I asume its on the planet surface. I did an orbit drop with the ship but how do I find the station? MORE: MY ship the Tarzink 2 armed transport has missle slots at the bridge but none in tactical load out, does that mean it cant handel any? [ 08-03-2002, 01:41 AM: Message edited by: Justsomeguy ]
  7. Okay yeah well first stupid n00b thing I have done. Aux life support was off so I assume that was responsible for some of the damage. But this still leaves my flight engeneers who have some 70% fatigue and I havent launched a single shuttle or fighter to date. Any idea of that? Also is there a fast way to bring down the fatigue way other than just off duty? Yet another problem: Everyone on the crew have a hunger factor of aroun 140. Is that high? If that is how do I feed them. Note my ship dosent seem to have a galley for some reason?????? And about the forum. I thought I should post it here since it said BCM general. I thought the BC n00b was for the first BC. Should I move to that forum? [ 08-01-2002, 10:48 PM: Message edited by: Justsomeguy ]

  9. Okay some more n00b help I have established an okay trade rout between GALCOMHQ and GENESIS. I made a decent profit running Craft Parts 1 between the points. Anyhow thats not the issue. The problem is that my crew arnt faring to well. After about 4 runs my engineering crew was down into the low 60's in life. This along with my flight engineers. As well as my Flight Officer and Engeneer Officer. Okay this being said I am at a loss of how they got that bad. I dont have any radiation or infections to my knowledge. Could it be fatigue because some have 60%+ ratings? I sent low life force crew to the infermary and I made sure the medical offcier was there but I wasnt able to treat them. I had to let them slowly regenerate whats up with that? Finaly its going to take for ever for everyone to be healed and rested up is there any way to keep the fatigue from climbing so fast as well as keep the health high. Also is there a faster way to recover both? Man I feel like such a n00b. Oh yeah one last thing is game time the same as real time? Because my game counter is at 14:00 the first day.

  13. Thanks for the help. There is a slight problem though. I am in the launch base catigory in the apendix html file and it dosent list the inflation rates. Also can those drones mine on planets or do you need mining drones? Also how do you exactly mine? NOTE: I have Battlecruiser Millennium not 30k Thanks for the previous help and the speedy post [ 08-01-2002, 05:33 PM: Message edited by: Justsomeguy ]
