Sorry SC for posting there I guess this is a newbie question. I assure u it wont happen again. Anyway I think it may be becasue the RO has to study the artifacts and if im not mistaken the RO station is on deck 1 and maybe whatever she does causes damage. I just find it odd that when I didnt have any artifacts on board I still took damage but only when I had an upgrade in my cargo and untill I installed it I took damage to all the same systems. I know the damage is not from me upgrading because everytime they finish repairs it goes back to 50% again and I dont think there is an upgrade for the bridge anyway. I notice iv lost afew things that I had in my cargo bays all of which were artifacts. Its probly from the inturders iv had on board but I watch them pretty closly and they never go to the cargo bays and they never escape my ship. I just need to know if having artifacts in my cargo bay whould casue this because I dont wanna get rid of them till im sure and im not going to keep up with my invasion till i can fix it.

HELP IM STUCK!! Iv posted in BC Newbie area. Please go look there and read what iv posted i need help [ 08-11-2002, 04:08 PM: Message edited by: Viper2000 ]

Im in day two of my massive invasion and it seems that im at a stand still, reason being because I keep taking damage for no reason. All of the damage has been happening on deck 1. Right now the bridgeviewer before it was the life support systems. The odd thing is that it does not register in the hud screen and the damages never exceed 50%. Iv checked my cargo and the only thing I can think of that is doing it is my artifacts. The really odd thing is when I didnt have any of the artifacts I went and bought a shield upgrade and up untill i installed the new shield I took the same kind of damage same systems and everything. This is causing quiet a big problem for me and im just looking to see if anyone has had this problem or knows how to fix it because up untill I figure it out im staying put.

I agree cheating sucks. But, im gonna have to use the playmod to get my states up or I won't have fleet C&C. I was just wondering if when you start taking out stations and stuff if random enemy ships start showing up less?

I think iv figured it out. Since im gammulan and have the biggest cruiser, iv noticed im not using it to is full ability. I plan on lanching a major assault on every single system who hold gammulans to be there enemy. GAMMULANS WILL RULE THE UNIVERSE AND THOSE WHO RESIST SHALL BURN! Now where to start is the question, im planning on striking areas within the Terran area. O yes and im posting this because I still need feedback on how to go about this, you know do's and don'ts and what have yous. Iv got the ship iv got the crew all I need is a plan. O yea and about 70 other ships with crews

Im very close to being able to use the HSD all I need are some cool systems to explore

Yeah I did have exploring in mind, but it takes a really long time to get from place to place(which is awsome because it gives me the feel of travling great distances)and everything appears to be marked on the map and I cant go to too many places before i get in trouble with hostile ships. Is there any place I can go and explore that Isnt marked on the map? Remember im in the biggest CCs avalable which is also the slowest. Oh and im currently located at Otura 6 doing some mining.

I love this game but im running out of stuff to do. So far iv gone into major battles, taken heavy loses, been disabled, gone to planets and fought, captured stations and explored flux fields. All and al iv been through alot with my CC and her crew I mean iv had to clone that damn CO like 20 times already. I just need to know if im missing somthing because im not to into trading or searching wreckage of other ships, but id really appreciate any feedback I can get. PS I know some of you are gonna say "try a diffrent ship", but iv had 3 careers one in a mk3 class CC another in a small unarmed transport and the one im in now is the huge Gammulan CC and I like it the best.

Yea the camrea works great now. I see what you where saying in your other posts, but I definitly notice a diffrence on the new comp and have uninstalled it from my other one. Thanks for the support and for making a cool game like this! PS. Everything is good now so u can close this post if u want.

Well i figured it out it is my video. For some reason when I tried it on my other computer it worked fine and the ship looked like it was submerged unlike on my other computer. Becasue I was having troble explaining it I can't expect you guys to understand what was going on so thanks for the help anyway.Oh and SC it wasnt right as I had thought the water was very deep becasue in fp it took me afew minutes to get to the surface but while i was under water nearing the surface i could see my CC way below me under the water and yes it looked like it was underwater, but when i surfaced all of the sudden it wasnt underwater anymore and was a couple of feet above the water. The same thing happend with aircraft carriers too, I whould tilt the camra down when in external view and it would look like the aircraft carriers underwater completly but when i tilt the camra up it looks like its like 10 feet above that water. Well anyway it doesnt matter iv fixed it i just can't run it on this machine anymore.

So what your saying is that since the ship is underwater(which the ones in the pics are) it should be covered in water and not look like its sitting 10 ft above the water. Right?

Um its on the seabed and the water is deep. Shouldnt it have water on the top of it? In most of my pics its under water at the bottom.

It runs fine for me in windows. Its just in the docs it said that it works eiter as a stand-alone or an add-on

In the first two pictures that are posted are taken from the same ship and same depth but the only diffrence is in the angle. Pic2 looks to me like the water is deep enough toward where the ship in pic one should be darker or look like its covered in water. I was testing it today and iv noticed that when I have the camrea tilted upward it looks as if the CC is a few feet above the water when in fact it is on the sea bed, but it works the other way around too the ship can be 100 ft above the water but when you angle the camra downward it looks like its under water. All im doing is comparing my game to the screen shots ive seen and all I know is that my game does not look like that(proply because of my machine)and all I was looking for was to see if anybody else had this problem and had figured out a way to fix it or if it was normal and im just being stupid.

Well thnx, but im pretty much buying a new one for this game on anothor computer and I was wondering which was best for playing this game?

It is on the bottom and yes iv tested it in diffrent waters of diffrent depths and it still looks the same.Oh and yeah i have gone and checked in fp. Thats the only time that it looks like its underwater but when i surface it looks likes its surfaced too. [ 08-05-2002, 03:24 PM: Message edited by: Viper2000 ]

Heres what I think its supose to look likePic [ 08-05-2002, 03:21 PM: Message edited by: Viper2000 ]

Im looking for a new video card and Id like your opinions as to which I should get. Would it kill you to use descriptive subjects? Topic moved [ 08-18-2002, 08:50 AM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Well its not just the CC its all of the things on the water like the Air Craft carriers and other boats. Even when I land a shuttle or FC in it, it does the same thing. One of the things that i've noticed is when im flying over the water it just doesnt look right I mean it looks like its not moving, its kinda following me on the ground. Still I can quiet explain it. Iv never tried it unpatched but I have tryed it with mutiple reinstalls and varios video settings ,but still I got the same result.

I know it was canceled,but I was just wondering if that BCTE thing works with BCM or not. And if so then how do I use it when in game because iv read the docs that came with it and I still can't figure it out.

Yes, Geforce3, and yes I have tried the swimming which in fact does make the CC look like its under water while im under but when I surface it looks like its surfaced to. Pic1 Pic2 Level [ 08-04-2002, 06:36 PM: Message edited by: Viper2000 ]

This sounds like a video issue to me but im not sure. Well the problem is when I land in water. I don't really know how to explain it but, when my CC sinks to the bottom it still looks like its above water, that is, until I get the camra level with it then it looks submerged but otherwise it looks as if its sitting on top of the water even if its at the bottom. This happens in water of any depth. [ 08-04-2002, 05:48 PM: Message edited by: Viper2000 ]
