When I use to work in London for a Budget computer shop, you wouldn't believe what we use to say to some of our customers. Yes sir, we have your computer for repair and should be ready by Wednesday. (Looking at their empty computer case as we've strip it and sold all the parts to other customers!) Yes madam, I'm sorry but the couriors are useless, they got your postcode wrong again. (Knowing that the computer wasn't even ready yet!) We even had WatchDog come in once, and not only that, some geezer with a shotgun came in (Sent by one of our suppliers who we owed money to). That was a bad place to work. The company has gone bust now and I work for a decent company nowdays.

quote:sheesh where have you been? they are coming out with another Star Trek movie and some Star Trek games are on the way as well. Basingstoke, in England! God it's crap here. I want to live in London again! Cool, I'll look out for these. What generation of Star Trek is the movie based on?

I didn't know Star Trek was still going? Havn't seen any of there films for years. Last one I saw was 'First Contact' which was cool. Still perfer Star Wars though.

Ha ha, no I'm not seeking for trouble, I'm cool man. Just I did try to look this info up myself and got no joy. Anyway, I'll be off soon to 'milk the cow'. I know I'm prob annoying everyone with me questions but I'm just one of those people who wants quick answers. Don't think I'll post any more for a while, let things cool down for a bit(he he).

From the appendix: " All artifacts appear on stations inventory within 3 days of game time. Some artifacts such as the HSD, ENM, PAD and TMCD, all have indicators on the BridgeViewer. When these artifacts are in your cargo bay, they are green and when all conditions that deem them operable are met, they are light green. Most artifacts require certain officers to be on station and have a certain AI level. Refer to the Crew section of this appendix. Artifacts which are system upgrades can be immediately fitted when purchased without being subject to analysis by the RE. Some artifacts cannot be installed on certain ship classes. So, if you purchase one and you can't install it, this means that the ship cannot support it. This is the same rule which applies to certain shield, armor, engine, reactor upgrades. Not all can be fitted on a ship. " Where does it say that only one of each item can be installed at one time? I'm only trying to learn about your game, just because it's obvious to you, you wrote the game, I'm asking questions about things that I haven't found covered in the manual or appendix or things that are not clear to me. I'm not trying to annoy you or anything, I just want some support and advise.

Cheers for that, I'll let you know if it worked.

I take it that when I have a JAC onboard and a system gets damaged, 10 mins later it will be fixed, without having to assign engineers right? What if I had two JAC's, would it be done in 5 mins or could two systems be repaired at same time? The Celestial Orb, what if I had two of them, would it give 2 LP and -2 FF every 5 mins? Also I just upgraded to the Karanian Reactor but forgot to assign engineers to it. I can't get access to assign engineers now. What happens now, how can I get it installed to 100% ?

Right, My system specs are in my signature now. My problem is, when my AE is in a shuttle and on return to base orders to the CC, Sometimes (not all the time) just as it is about to dock the game crashes and goes back to the desktop. It has done this from retail to version 1.0.0.8RC18 and on Windows 98 and 2000 and even on my old system which was a PII 650. Also, I have noticed that one of the moons of Jupiter (One with the starstation), turns grey instead of it's moon texture in certain camera angles.

Sorry about swearing in my first post and I do apologize. I understand that I overlooked the fact that I could turn the power off to the SHIELDS in the Logistix comp. but I am only learning the game and asking for support. I think my second point wasn't made clear, what I was trying to say was that even though the Bridgeviewer was at 100% and therefore should NOT need repairing, engineers were still assigned to repairing it. This happened after installing the Phased Array Ion Disruptor. Is this a bug or something that is supposed to happen? If this point is not supposed to be included in this post, I'm sorry but I am only new to the game and don't know if this is a bug or just something I don't understand in the game. I know that you must get alot of nonsense sent in from people and get fed up with them but I'm only trying to use this Support Forum for Support! I think the fact that I spelt SHIELDS wrong is not a valid reason for denying me access to the support posts. Anyway, no hard feelings, and it was about 2 in the morning at the time I posted them. Please, please can you help!

I know how to un-assign the sys engineers from the bridgeviewer prob, but why does the bridgeviewer show up like this when it is at 100%?

Cool, but what about the other probs? [*]The bridgeviewer prob! [*]The inverted mouse for F/P mode! Can't wait for BCG with the Msg boards, that will be cool, just like in Elite. When is GBS II coming out? What happened to the ship interior graphics from the first game? I liked them (Esp. the interceptor), gave more of a feeling that you were in the ship.

Running version 1.0.0.8RC18, when I turn my sheilds off to save plotonium, the NONE OF THAT HERE! keeps turning it back on again. Is there any way I can shoot her, or least stop her from keep turning it back on. Also, I upgraded to thr Phased array ion disrupter and after installation my bridgeviewer was showing 100% but shown in blue for needs repair, so so my engineers normally behind my back (when I want my Shields or hull repaired) they BALDY go and repair the 100% bridgeviewer. Whats going on? Also, from my last post which is now closed. Can we at least invert the mouse controlls for first person mode. I could live with the keys I suppose but the mouse needs inverting.

Ah well, cheers mate. I'll have to hope it's implemented some time, can't play the way it is!

Is there any way to change the key layout for first person mode as the defaults are bad. How can I invert the mouse?

How can I increase the AI of my personnel. Does it slowly build up or is there anyway I can build it up myself ( mainly the Research Officer so I can use artifacts ). Without cheating ofcourse!
