One strange thing that I personally have noticed is that if a missle is launched at you, then you jam it, it will go ape shit like RT says. THEN if you hit the EMD again the missle will come screaming at you until you turn the EMD off, then it will lose lock again. I noticed this once when I had several launchs in a row but had the first missle targeted. It's like the missle homes in on the EMD after you jam it the first time. I've watched it come from about 2 r away and suddenly be less than .1 klicks or whatever you wanna call it. I turn the jammer off and WOOSH it's gone again. In my mind I always just thought of this as an ingenious way for the missle to relock onto the target that jammed it The effect though, is I had 4 or 5 missles dancing around me every time I turned the EMD on and off, was very interesting looking on the radar screen lol.

Well I think it is a case of it being both with rogue like games because the world is procedurally generated at random given a certain set of boundries. For example Nethack's levels are random but but at the same time they are of a certain size so as to fit the screen and all tunnels and rooms are connected so on and so forth. But in the case of Evochron (am I even spelling it right?) I think it is all procedurally generated and none random , same for UC I would expect because I've been to the same place on Earth a couple times in several diffrent games and it is always the same.

I think the way you put it is , the game is old and no longer supported so #$@# it

According to what I've read he is appealing to federal courts . . . this may not be over yet. I really doubt it though lol. May not be over until it reachs the Supreme Court or God himself tells him to knock it off.

O.o

The great thing about this game is that it is procedurally generated, meaning that it can weigh in at a very small amount but still have great 3d graphics. In other words the levels and what not are all generated AS the game runs instead of being stored in memory like say, UC. Other examples of this are rogue like games where the entire dungeon or world is randomly created when the game starts , like Dwarf Fortress. Spore is a more modern example, much of that game play or all of it is procedurally generated. The planets are all scripted randomly so no two should be alike and aren't stored in the system before hand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evochron_Renegades This will tell you more about the game and has a picture from the game play as well as box art, which is strange considering the game was never released in box formed as far as I know.

Man, this takes the cake as the strangest tech support thread I've ever seen any where, ever. Did you ever get the game installed or were you trying to burn it to DVD all along?

I normally get an eyestar with-in the first hour or so of game play if I get lucky and get something worth a lot of money from a cargo pod. So far I end up getting an OTS missle or a STO missle , those seem to be the most expensive things in the game aside from upgrades. Then once I get that seed money I do a few runs trading OTS missles from Galcom to Wraith and make a pretty penny Or if I play Ter/Ins I will capture Wraith station with-in the first 10 minutes of game play, and then trade from the ISS station right next to it back and forth. The inflation is only about 20% different but the other station is AD so I can trade OTS missles from their base rate and get 30% profit in a very short period of time. My last game I got my Space Star shields and armor upgraded to max levels as well as the one right below Trellis and a really good engine. Sadly 8 intruders beamed on board, stole both my shuttle craft almost instantly (the one time I forget to shut down power to launch controls they get me) Then they managed to destroy something vital right when I'm in combat and cause the whole thing to go kaboom in a few seconds. Any how these missing parts should help me quiet a bit though , really I was already doing okay I supose. Still it is nice to know about the different launching stations outside of the Sol and Sirus systems.

Just an update, I used fire fox and it works fine! I'm such an idiot for not trying this before! Thanks a ton RT. Sadly the upgrades section only shows which ships get which upgrades. I was hoping there would be some more detail on the upgrades themselves for example what changes when you install them. I don't supose that info is given to us any where is it? I know shield and armor upgrades raise the total protection given by those two things and I'm guessing engine upgrades allow the ship to go faster over all but the reactor upgrade confuses me. It doesn't give any extra power to the ship so is all that it does increase fuel effiency? I guess it doesn't really matter, just get myself a Trellis and move on it with it. At least now I know my chosen ship can upgrade to pretty much anything Also finally can see the list of all the space stations and see what their rate are, fanstic stuff. Thanks again RT this is a game changer for me.

Probably not, they're all knowing but even they could not pierce the mind of Derek Smart, it would drive even them to insanity to see inside there lol.

The only way you can go wrong is to leave Resnig in command of your bridge, but you'll soon find that out MUWAHAHAHAHA . . .<cough> Any how welcome I'm going to try that Evochron game as soon as I can.

According to this http://www.3000ad.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42000053 you decided not to fix it in AWA , just in SE and CE. Which is fine by me Looking through the VCF there is no mention of it I could find in AWA (which is what I'm currently playing on) I'm not complaining, I'm going to get CE any way so it is no big dealio.

I wonder why after all these years SC never fixed Resnig. Just the other day I left him in command of my Nightstar planet side with engines off and everything perfect. Make a few trade runs and come back to the planet cause I notice a red alert, evac ship when I look in the bottom of the screen while docked with a space station. When I get there my carrier is flaming, jetting fire like 2 or 3 miles into the sky. I skill have no idea what he did, but I know it was him! Thats to bad about getting the direct2drive version, at least you get all the missions that is what is really important. I still have pretty good memories from BC3000AD 2.0, namely flying a fighter down only a planet onto the night side and smashing into the ground thinking "O.o this is strange" lol Any hot news on what exactly the new First person weapons may be that were added into the game?

I've looked into StarWraith games on the wikipedia and if what is there is to be believed they've got a pretty interesting series of games there for a one person dev team. May have to look into it sooner or late Regardless welcome here tha_rami. Check out Universal Combat, it is free to play now and will give you a good taste of what Battle Cruiser is all about, in fact UC and UC:CE are pretty much the same game, it's just that CE is faster/prettier/more stable ect. SC releases games like car companies release cars Each one has all the good stuff from the last generation of games then adds even more good stuff ontop of it whilst leaving it as stable as possible. So as for right now UC:CE is the ultimate battle cruiser 3000ad realization.

Interesting, I'm happy to hear that the DJP pads work, will make FPS Roam mode much more interestin now The more I read about this the less I feel I can wait, I might sell something to get the money up to buy this lol. I was just thinking after reading another thread that you could use Resnig to train your marines and pilots, by sending him out onto a planet then using him for target pratice , then cloning him and rinse and repeat Have you tried installing the old BC games to see if they work smoothly on your computer, aren't they suposed to be updated to work on modern computers? I miss the old bridge view, I've considered taking a screen shot of it and printing it out then attaching it to my montior when I'm playing lmao.

They stated, according to Ms. Goodchild a well respected Aussie actor whom I've never heard of before, that they would give joy rides around the Galaxy to a select few people. If anyone deserves a joy ride in a space ship it is you mate. I can see you now, stepping onto the bridge of the flagship of this Federation of Light as they call themselves only to find Resnig standing at one of the contorl panels. You'll probably offend the aliens by running off the ship and demanding to be taken home, causing an one sided war between our race and the federation

Thanks a ton! I'll try it when I get home from work but I'm sure it will work. This will help me decide which ship I want to go with. Been having trouble as of late deciding which one I want to give all my time to Also hopefully will help me find a better trade route as Galcom HQ to Wraith is okay but I'm sure there are better lol. Now if I can just convince my wife to let me get UC:CE then my evil plans will be complete.

Internet explorer. now that you say that I might just try opening it up in Firefox. If you're right, and you are I'm sure, I'm going to feel like a total @#$#$ But lets say I am using internet explorer and have no access to the internets at home, what can I do?

I was actaully going to try it out but I had to choose between downloading the UC free game or the ES Demo last time I had access to a computer. I've got a usb memory stick thingy that could only hold on or the other. Since I wanted the appendix from UC I had to go with that Next time I'm at my parents house (This weekend) I'll go ahead and download the demo. I'm wanting to see the 3d cockpit in action and the graphics just look fantastic

It seems like doing something like this would take a lot of work to get it just right. The opening alone must have taken a lot of planning and editting to make it seem so realistic I'm pretty sure that sound of the shuttle being launched isn't normally part of the game for example lol. I can't wait to see your next video, gl on it.

I'm well aware of that But if I want to see it in action at all I'm going to have to play ES. That class of carrier looks so cool. How big is it? It is hard to tell from the screen shots but it looks about the size of a sunflash or some similiar small cruiser but I could be wrong.

Okay I downloaded the UC free to play game and installed it just to get at the appendix and it suffers from the same issue. I guess I'll just have to wait until I can afford UC:CE (as something came up that demanded my monies just before I was about to order it through the mail ) I certianly hope this issue is fixed in that verison of the appendix, but either way it is fine

http://www.blossomgoodchild.com/ check under -> Federation of Light then read The Message. To sum it up aliens called the Federation of Light are coming on Oct 14 to show their space ship to all the world for 3 days. I certainly hope they remember to power down their PTA systems or we're all toast

-crys- I figured you would say that, oh well I guess I'll just have to pick up ES if I want to experience that bad ass carrier in person. Regardless well done on the design of that thing mate, it is truely unique!

By no means is it the best game based on game play ect. What I meant was it is doing the best out of any mmorpg so in that sense it is the best mmorpg running currently according to peoples opinions I loved Lord of the Rings online, I thought it had some features no other game has and a good story line and interesting pvp premise. But yah by no means is WoW the best MMORPG. Ryzom is pretty good if you've never tried that, it is different though and it can get a little boring if you don't have any friends.
