What's the downside of a little healthy discussion? Whether Kasey's right or wrong is irrelevant. From where I'm sitting, the SC seems more than willing to engage in a little debate. Maybe he finds the feedback valuable? Or at least entertaining?

quote: Yep guess so. Winona don't come close to her. LOL, now that I think of it, she kind of reminds me of Natalie Portman too.

quote: Why don't they just call it something different, with different character names? They want to leverage the BG name. In other words, there's marketing value in it.

Just got back from PotC. Awesome movie. Depp as expected stole the show. Kiera Knightly is easy on the eyes. Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Winona Ryder with long hair? 10/10 why not.

quote: It refused to surrender even though it's down to 200 armor. Then one of their own fighters blasted it trying to shoot me. Unless its just coincidence, I find certain stations are more difficult to capture than others. They refuse to send out an SOS, and I end up destroying them. Maybe it depends on race/caste.

Or you could just cloak, HJ to the station and blow it up.

Assuming you entered correct system info, it doesn't look like your computer meets the minimum specification. Specifically, your video card. 7.5 MB of RAM? Sounds funky, you sure you don't mean 8? Regardless, a 16 MB card is needed.

Thank you both. This exactly explains what happened. Most of my officers were pretty beat up (FF) and IIRC, some went off duty.

I did something dum. I was attempting to assist a neutral station (Gazer1) against an enemy Violon (VAL/RAI I think). Anyway, a very hurt CC uncloaked right in front and I shot it up in a panic without first IDing it because I thought I was going to crash into it. I received a message that I lost Fleet C&C, so I assume it was either friendly or neutral. However, I did not notice any drop in EPs and I still have strategic command rank. My question is, will I be able to regain Fleet C&C? Perhaps when I gain the next rank? I'm in ROAM mode and playing a TER/MIL commander if that comes into play. Thanks.

SC, I noticed one other inconsistency. Fighter craft are abbreviated FC predominantly. In Perscan, under the "assignment" column, if system engineers are repairing FCs, Perscan will refer to them as ICs.

Good story. Usually for me, in chaotic encounters like that, I get a call from my wife asking me how she looks in her new outfit. I'm still trying to capture all hostile stations in the Terran quadrant. Thats my role in my current ROAM campaign. I was doing great until recently with a couple of enemy stations (don't remember their race/caste). I guess I'm a bull in a china closest, because I keep blowing them up before getting the SOS. In the meantime, at least I'm the BC equivalent to "made", getting fleet C&C. The game rocks hard.

quote: Was that done on purpose? Probably done just to make your head explode.

You are correct again. Although the latest patch for BCM (non-Gold) I believe is 1.09. BCMG is a separate animal completely and has its own version control.

Perhaps it means that attempting to lower shields that are already lowered will disengage the tractor beam. Where the intention is for the game to ignore a request to lower shields already lowered and thus NOT drop the tractor beam. Just a guess. If it said RAISING like you suggest, then it would work as designed and not be in the VCF to begin with. The "HJ transit" part may add a wrinkle. I don't have enough experience with tractor beams to know how they are suppose to behave during HJing. I'm overanalyzing this, I'll siddown.

The bcmg101.exe patch does in fact upgrade BCMG to version 1.00.01.

quote: Evanthes shot one of the women and says, "I got the one with the biggest rack." ROFL. I'm not sure I should be laughing but I can picture some of these losers who get off on this. And it ain't pretty. But the women are willing participants (combatants?) so I guess the only problem I have with it is if it leads to crimes against women (from the unwilling crowd) as the article suggests it might. Losers either way.

Do not succumb to the insurgents! We are the Terran Military. We leave no soldier behind! Suggestion: repost this to the proper forum, i.e. BC Legacy Discussions with details young man, details. Perhaps someone can help you. Or better yet, upgrade to BCM or BCMG.

Now I know why Resnig is such an idiot. Look at how small the library is! Chavik, thanks for posting the deck pics.

RO is robotics. All this is defined in the manual appendix. Look under "Launch Bases".

Here's a couple of reviews.
