Just ran my own dangerous test I wanted to see if you can run the ship ENTIRELY without the reactor. It is possible to run the ship entirely with the solar panals running. However you still need the reactor in order to jump anywhere. 2nd However is that without the reactor, and with about 70% in Solar Panal's you can basicly run the ship without it. Weapons, Tactical and such STILL work but once you move out of 70% then systems start shutting down by priorty (which is reverse from the repair priorty, meaning all lesser systems shut down first before important systems) Try it if you'd like Personaly the only time I use the solar panals is when I arrive in a system and an going to ambush a fleet, since I'll be there for awhile I was would rather conserve Radine The engine is the main radine guzzler, the reactor just transforms that Radine into fuel FOR the engine. Without the reactor you can't jump, without the engine you can't jump.. Thats why if you have the engines off no Radine is spent (for me anyway), but if its on then its spent

Correct me if I'm wrong SC, but by restarting the campaign because of the script, we would be unable to use our RC 7 save games right? In the past, when you've made revisions to the game we've always been able to use our previous saves. Are you saying that a revision in the campaign script provents use from using previous saves? Or am I just spouting rubbish and misunderstanding you like always? (and if so, please enlighten me oh great one) Edit: After completing the first mission without this script, I found it was TO easy, so I think I'll try this script the only real difficulty is getting enough money to fund that radine guzzling reactor/engine, but hey thats where the challenge is [ 03-14-2004, 03:27 AM: Message edited by: Kalshion ]

Yep, everything else is based on post count.. see 0 Cadet 51 Ensign 1000 Lieutenant 2500 Major 5000 LT. Commander 7500 Commander However some ranks are given out to certain members for certain reasons For example Eclipse is a Tacops Cmdr, however the rank isn't listed in the post count area

You mean my pet squirrel in my backyard is my enemie? Loads up his shotgun, ITS OPEN SEASON BABY!!

Just because they don't post on this board doesn't mean there not active Hardly anyone from prime posts in there forum, but there still very active (on our own board) Its possible Spectra has there own forum and posts on that forum and hardly ever posts here, its a possiblity

All fleets have there secrets, hell I wouldn't be surprised if Galcom or the Gammy's have such a fleet that no one knows about. Anywho, just a quicky You need a certain number of people to start up a fleet.. and even then you need it approved and a website along with a forum (if I remember correctly) Its hard to get a fleet approved from what I read somewhere, but I think only the SC can truely answer you're question (in other words.. good luck)

This isn't like X2 - The Treat where you can just go to the Starport and buy a cruiser or carrier (Argon and stuff) BCMG and UC are very different Once you achive a rank that allows for Fleet Command and Control then you have control over ships (stations,cruisers,carriers,fighters,transports even some ground units) In the UC campaign you get Fleet CnC right away (You should, you're the commanding officer of a FLEET) however keep in mind that while you can give those ships orders you CANNOT physicaly control it (IE, you can't get in a shuttle and hope on over to that ship. Since its not YOU'RE ship to begin with) As for upgrades, you can get them at any station for a price There are special upgrades but I'll let you figure that one out for yourself Personaly, I would suggest you first fly a fighter craft so that you can get a since of what its like to be in space (going straight to the command career is not really a good idea since its COMPLEX)

Here's another installment of this Journy Just got into LV-103 and got the transports.. geez FOUR!? my god I was expecting one transport and perhaps some cruises (as decoys) but not unarmed transports ... well ok 2 unarmed and 2 armed Anywho, I proceed for Fluxfield-12 to go to Yliss, and... discover that it- DROPS ME INTO A BLACK HOLE!!!! damn, thanks a lot I reload the game an enroute toward Fluxfield-10, which is in Otura-6 (or was it 9? *checks* yep 6) I jump into Mantisi and get ambushed by a battlecruiser and a.... Zenstar? WTH is a Zenstar doing ATTACKING me? I lay waste to the Zenstar, which was marked as GAM/MIL. Poor Gammys didn't know what hit them (hey they brased my shields so I opened up my missle tubes, yea I know a waste of expensive missles) Well, when that transport died the BC MK1 came out of warp and start pounding the GCV - Rabid one (I have two Rabid Ones for some reason.. Glitch?), well My Rabid One escort only had 1200 hull left and 498 shields when he/she god attacked. I launched all my fighters which quickly turned the GAM/MIL Battlecruiser into a smoking, burning floating hulk. Awww the smell of burnt gammys in the morning Myself, the escorts and the transports proceed to Crystar where... upon getting into the system. 2 Firestorms decloak off my starboard side and start firing on me, luckily the transports hadn't jumped in it so I turn on my PTA system and lay waste to Firestorm #1 Meanwhile, Firestorm #2 takes off toward the Kruger Warpgate and sits there Now, galcom directive says not to attack a ship unless fired upon... one little detail.. its at a gate I need to go to My ship took heavy damage thanks to a couple lucky shots from the #1 Firestorm, so while repairs where going i sent all 4 fighters out The first fighter to arrive, FC 3 started taking a pounding the momment it arrived. As it headed toward the enemy its sheilds went down to 200 ----- 150 ----- 100 ----- 75 ----- 25 ----- Then the firestorm blows up (FC 3 REALLY ddin't like being fired on, so they launched several missles and opened up with there main guns) I look at the hull of FC 3 after the battle 135 hull left, Interal systems are down to 45% AND BOTH PILOTS ARE STILL ALIVE! One had a health of 83%, the other 89%, and the fighter still had warp capibility so it jumped to me I hadn't realized the full extint of the damage until it docked. Both pilots went off station and I ordered them BOTH to the medbay (strangly, upon docking the medical officer said "Assigning medic's to attend to wounded personnel") I looked at the system's of FC 3 and... esh, How the hell could anyone survive this? FC 3's damage Esh, I still would like to know how anyone can survive being blasted like that Anywho, after they got back on board I waited for the transports... and guess what happened while I was waiting? Being boarded is no fun, expiacally when you're trying to give you're men some rest Suffice to say, I saved at that point and quit. Going to continue that game in the next couple of hours Wish me luck! I'll post another installment after I go off duty later on tonight

This is what I have just experience within the past 5 hours of playing UC (yes I'm addicted ) I just started up the Campaign again.. and started going through Gammulan territory. I jump into LV-184, at least I think it was LV-184.. anywho I'm just minding my own bussiness... me and my 5 escorts are underway to Otura-9, suddenly 4 Gammy cruisers jump in and decide to jump to the Otura warpgate. No problem, 6 against 4 shouldn't be to difficult. Boy how wrong was I.. The momment we all get out of warp 3 of my 6 escorts peel off and set course for the Otura-9 warpgate while being hammered. So, no problem. Just 3 cowards who will be courtmarshaled when we get back to Galcom HQ, I send out my 4 fighters plus the 8 fighters from the firestorm. We clean house and take out 3 of the 4 cruisers, the 4th one jumps away heavily damaged He jumps over to one of the warpgates... then sits there... motionless.. waiting... and here I am, in my Megaron, with 20 combat ready marines .. and suddenly "We have intruders on board", "Marines assigned to search duty" No problem... 20 combat ready marines against.. waht? Perhaps 6 or 8 enemie marines.. again I was wrong, since when did the enemy transport 15 marines onboard a ship? Let alone a carrier!!! At first I thought everything would be fine, but when I take a closer look I see this 10 of the 15 marines are... ON THE BRIDGE!!!!! the other 5 beamed into the troop deployment bay (big big BIG mistake.. as I had 10 marines in there waiting for orders.. all 5 got taken into custidy) Meanwhile, on the bridge its fight to life thing.. All my officers, including myself, against 10 enemie marines I was beginning to think it was the end for Commander Kalshion Dragon. Then.... THE CAVALRY ARRIVES! All 20 marines come pouring onto the bridge "Hey! Its getting a bit crowded in here!", is the thought that went through my mind 10 enemie marines 20 Allied marines and 6 command officers all in one small little bridge. I realized the bridge was only made for command personal.. perhaps it should become the new briefing room, seeing how the battle lasted for a good 8 marines After that 8 marines 8 or the 10 marines where dead, the other two took off running down Deck 1 Aft Corridor to the shuttle bay, unfortantly for them I had my other 10 marines ALREADY on the way to the shuttle bay... Guess who they ran into while on the way?... you guess it.. now the 2 other marines are in custidy I thought that it was the end of it.. time to sit in LV-106, refueling my fighters and marshaling my fleet (of only 2 escort ships now.. the other 3 had to RTB, one had 498 hull left, the other 40 hull and the last one, my Astrom, was down to 10 Hull but strangly INT of 100) Suddenly I hear it again!, "We have intruders on board!" Arghs! Didn't I just get done with this routine!? Anywho, out of all the places they beam into... they beam into the shuttle bay where the 10 marines are right now, luckily this time its only 5 enemie marines Meanwhile, outside my ship I get targeted by a Gammy Starcarrier, Stormcarrier, Sentry, Firestrom, Astrom, BCMK 1 2 AND 3, and another ship which was marked as UNKNOWN I had a minutes worth of cloaking fuel left. So guess what I did? hehe yep, I cloaked my ship. Targeted the closest enemy, and ripped him to shreads In total, I wasted 5 ships in under a minute, and the other ships in under 2 minutes.. all while suffering no INTERNAL damage no exp gain though =( *sigh* oh well meanwhile, back in my ship, the 5 enemie marines where holding there own against a now 15 marine defense force, I swear Resnig must be giving these marines orders cause I never seen my marines proform so POORLY! After some orders being given, and sending Resnig to the brig. My marines took all 5 enemie marines into custidy, geez my detention center is getting mighty full now. Wonder what the SC will think when I arrive at Galcom HQ with 10 prisoners on board? Other than that.. the fighting FINALLY stopped, and my guys where able to rest.. all 4 of my SC's are out on cargo sweeps collecting the remaining pods that are litering space, creating a traffic trap (as I had seen several seconds after the battle ended... several Transports came out of warp to pick up the pods but instead exploded into a mill peices, leaving pod's behind ) Anywho, thats my experience for today, hope I have another tomorrow =D [ 03-10-2004, 11:06 AM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

You're forgetting the TAR and FEATHERs there Wolferz Glad I stopped dealing with EB awhile back, I knew something was going to happen when there upper management went through a few changes (according to a worker at the EB here at the Meadows Mall) Well, time to start buying my games at Bestbuy and Amazon.com

quote:Originally posted by DennyMala: quote:Originally posted by Nakaleen: One thing I was wondering. Do you only have to Prep them once? Or every time after they have been off duty. What I did when I first start wes send them all to be preped. Then send 1/2 on station (and 1/2 of those then went searching) and send the other 1/2 off duty again. If you pay attention to the PERSCAN while issuing the PREP order, the OFF DUTY order and the MEDIBAY order you'll see that the marine will go every time in the PREPPING ROOM to get or store his equipment. So I can assume that if you prep a marine he'll stay prepped until he's on service; so when you put him off duty or he is sent to the medibay he'll store the equipment. Except in cases of intruders from what I've noticed. I've sent marines to the medibay during an intrusion and they never head to the troop deployment bay, they always head directly to the medbay. Now if there are NO intruders and you send them to the medbay, THEN they'll head to the deployment bay and take off all that gear

No Unless you're combat AI is at 35 or more you're marines will NOT auto prep, you need to do it manualy But once the ai get's up to 35 or more then I think I beleave the combat officer will automaticly begin preping them the moment an invader get's on board Please read the Appendix, its stated right there under the combat officer crew information

Must be something good, first time i ever seen the SC intentionaly misspell a word

Well lets just say this When defending make sure some of YOU'RE marines went through the "PREP FOR COMBAT" phase. I've found that combat ready marines are more capible of defending the ship (duh ) since there wearing full armor while the other non-combat ready marines are still in there underwear carring maybe a pistol Personaly, I don't think it really matters when it comes to marine types defending. As all marines will defend the ship no matter what (even the orbital marines, which personaly I don't see why we have them when we can't deploy them, will defend the ship)

In fact, take a look at whats happening now! THEIR attacking there own people, there own muslum people. They could careless if they kill a child.. or an adult.. and they could careless if we where to pullout.. or not.. they'll CONTINUE to attack us no matter what it takes Arghs.. politics.. a subject I hate but interests me in some way.

After 7 days of use my brand new laptop is dead and needs to be RMAed so they can fix it.

They want to charge me $600 to return the laptop to them. Of course you know....this means war. I'm planning on calling the BBB, Consumer Affairs, and if it comes down to the nitty gritty I'll see about taking them to small claims court. I must say, that I would never recommend Alienware nor will I shop with them again. DUDE! I'm gettin a Dell! :-) You're blowing the whole thing out of Proportion I find it odd that your's died in 7 days and yet mine still works. Hmmmm did you install something you weren't suppost to on you're laptop? And by the way, NOTHINGS free, of course you're going to be charged its nothing new. Laptops are easy to break, but if handled CORRECTLY they'll last a life time (maybe) My main computer (the one I'm on now) is an alienware.. and my laptop is an alienware, no problems with either
