I bought the BC3K game when it first came out over here in the UK. I remember printing the updated manual at work for version 2.9, me supervisor got a bit cheesed about the amount of paper used up hehe. I signed up on this forum a year after BCM was released. I ordered BCM off the net from you guys and got the big galaxy poster. And now I got BCMG and to get that I had to drive from Basingstoke to Oxford to pick it up from the couriers before they were going to ship it back to America.

I've just finished my review and now just waiting for it to be posted. It says it takes about 2 business days.

Nothing but if you read the rest of my post you'll see it's about something in the new BCMG galaxy which is the title of this thread.

After playing and putting up with me system crashing every 5 mins I managed to find the neutral zone in the new galaxy. Im playing the Gamestop edition campaign. I found a Galaxian Explorer ship hovering over a crash probe. You can't select the ship but if you zoom away from the probe you can see it. It looks like a big rock. It's called the "Esoterica".

After playing for a while I think the new mouse control system works great and was just as I thought it was. The only problem I found was remembering to hit the ALT key to activate it on and off. I dont find this as a major flaw and I believe the way it's implemented is the only Logical way, it's just something that will take time to get used to. As a side track, I read the manual on this and the FAQ but when I click on any of the multiplayer options from the start menu I get the BCMG logo then it dissappears and goes back to the desktop. Is it just me system or is there something I have to setup first. I just wanted to see the options available.

Reporting in and ready for duty.

Hey, not long now Gammies till we meet. I hear you go well with chilli nuts.

It's just typical aint it. Whenever I have no money something comes out that I really want just to taunt me. I only work two days a week at mo and so can barely afford me bills (in fact my monthly income is less than my monthly outgoings). Oh hell, sod it I'll buy it anyway.

Mate. I'll see you down at Alpha bar, we'll let you in the back way.

Reporting in.

I think it's a shame you guys lost your trademark ship in BCG. It was like a way of knowing you were confronting a Gammulan. Thats why I like playing as the Terans so we have the challenge when faced with you guys. I like to play with the odds against me. It would have been nice to have the trademark ships for all races in BCG and not just in BCO. Oh well, nevermind.

quote: I toyed with the idea of doing auto-generated missions but quickly abandoned it because it requires extensive modifications to the AI kernel and which I didn't want to make at this time, since I have to do it for BCO (which is still almost a ways off). Yeah, I was hoping for that as well, but I guess GBS III will do. Looking though the feature list, looks like most the other things are all ready planned. I like the pertrack idea.

It's a good fun game. Easy to pick up and adicting. It's very simular to Archimedean Dynasty, game style wise. I don't think I will buy it though but if I manage to get a copy then fine. Overall, not a bad game.

1 - The ability to fly to waypoints in space would be cool. 2 - Ruduce the amount of damaged reports that Kendrick says coz it's annoying hearing him list every ship part that has been destroyed or damaged. I think he should only report the main probs. 3 - GBS to go with the game so we can make our own missions. 4 - Some more control over assigning crew on CC. For example, the ability to say exactly where I want my marines standing guard on the ship. 5 - Conditional waypoint assigning. By this I mean, setting up waypoints for say marines that will only carry out that waypoint when a certain other condition has been meet, like the fighters have completed their SEAD waypoints. The most important to me is point 1. Points 4 and 5 would also be cool.

Yep, even over here in England we use online banking and I think it's great for the same reasons as above.

And already someone has started a flame on it. I was tempted to reply his note but didn't as they might have thought it was Derek replying and I didn't want to get him in any more of that. Great shots! Can't wait for this game, I want to see them pics in motion. I love the idea of Subs as CC. This game gets better and better. Keep up the good work SC and Co.

I'm still here. On Patrol in Polaris. Not much to report.

That story brings back lots of memorys of when I was a techie. I remember someone having a problem with a program they had. Since we only did system support we weren't really able to deal with this sort of problem but I asked her to send a copy of the disk in anyway so I could have a look. A few days past and I received a letter from her stating " Please find enclosed a copy of ~ Program ~ as requested" I then pulled out what was the copy, a photocopy of the disk...

It's the same picture from the original BCM box but with more colour. Looks good.

Please go and read up on JPEG compression before arguing with me. Thank You Yeah come-on Epsilon everyone knows that. I thought the terrain looked great. These new models are brilliant, this is turning into one hell of a game! I've just got a loan out so I can upgrade my system ready in time for the game release.

The supernovas aren't marked on the map! Edit: Oh yes I see. Missed that one.

I have found Supernova's 01, 02, 03, 06 and 09 now. While some are useful for getting around the Galaxy, some are just empty. 4 more to find now. I wonder if there is anything else to find? Any clues SC...

Thats what would have been a planet being R.A.M.D.O.Med but it wasn't included in the game.
