  1. It should be legal. Most of the arguments put forth against it are fairly ludicrous, but that's what happens when rational/legal matters conflict with emotional/spiritual ones. In a society with a 50% divorce rate and roughly the same figures for both genders admitting to adultry, defending the "sanctity" of marriage quickly becomes moot. And there are far larger threats to our society than a piece of paper and greater legal rights for same-sex couples. Besides, it's inevitable whether or not it happens in our lifetime.

  3. PTA's also have a cone of fire, if the enemy is not within that cone then it won't fire. If you fly the Megaron over or under your enemy your PTA's should work fine.
  4. Use tacops to command your marines. Hint: It's in the manual and there are some excellent tutorials in the back of the BCMG manual, you do have BCM/G and not just BC right? You get experience and some moola for destroying/capturing bases. In the appendix (in your docs folder) it lists how exp and cash breaks down for various events. There is also a thread discussing ways to make money. Keep your eye open for cargo pods, they can be a gold mine of things to sell for a hefty profit. You're new so it's a given, but it's highly recommended you do some more reading before posting too much more lest you risk a scolding (or use the New Commanders forums, it's more forgiving.) One thing you must do in a hurry is add your profile to your signature. Click here now!!!
  5. What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
  6. ROFL!!! Cool!, you got shot at from the planet!! I've never had that happen to me. (I'm laughing with you not at you) Welcome to the BC Universe!
  7. quote:Originally posted by Darkreaver1980: So i have to use Prepare for Combat, than my marines crap the brand new Heavy Armors?All those goodies you see in your inventory are mostly for trading to make money. Your marines don't rely on the individual FPS items, they rely on combat kits (under miscellaneous). In other words you can't control what they equip so the money you spent on those FP items (guns, armor etc..) should have been spent buying combat kits (though you start with about 50 of them). quote: Another question: How do i see if my mining drones are full? 4 Drones are on the Moon of Earth and i only see the Shield/Armor/Hull display, are all planets good to mine, or can i scan em?!?When your drones are deployed, go to tactical/loadout then select SC. You will see 1-4 each number representing a shuttle. Pick one, then you will see cargo, team, drone. Pick drone, it will say DEPLOYED XX% full. You can mine on most planets and moons, but some are deadly. If you want to see the mineral percentage of a given planet/moon, dock with a star station in that sector, go to tradcom and select INFO at the bottom of the screen. If there is no station, then you'll just have to try it and see. (You can also get this info from the appendix under star stations) quote: I started a new game, this time with the big Megatron, his 10 Guns are amazing :-) Yes, the PTA's are your friends, treat them well. Spend some time searching the forums and read the manual/appendix/vcf/faq. There's lots and lots of info to be read and the answers to your future questions are likely in one of those places.

  9. I've got plenty of hosting space/bandwidth if you want me to host it Marvin.
  10. quote:Originally posted by Darkreaver1980: Do all of my Marines equip themselfes with the best weapons + armors i have? (how can my ego take a armor + better guns? i spended about 200.000 cash on new marine equip)Before you send you marines to combat (or searching for intruders) you should use the PREP FOR COMBAT assignment in tactical. They will equip and get briefed and be ready for deployment in a few minutes. You can also toggle the tactical/crew screen between assignment, location and inventory (so you can see what weapons they are carrying) A marines loadout is determined by their sub-class (Space Force Marine, Earth force marine etc...) Just make sure you have plenty of COMBAT KITS in stock, they use these to restock versus the individual trade items you buy. quote: Why are my Marines after Teleporting them down to a enemy base sitting ducks?Likely becuase they have low AI. Assaulting planetary bases is hard, you need to make tactical plans before hand. Like taking out the bunkers/barracks to minimize the number of enemy marines. Plopping a bunch of green marines in the middle of a hostile base is not the best tactic for success. quote: While under command of my CC or other space vehicles i can do Planetfall (shift + 8) but all other crafts fly like 15 Minutes down to the Planet :-( Any help there?Try setting waypoints on the planet, then make sure you are at least 1000km from the planet and you can use HJ to get there. They will be 150km above the surface and will planetfall at 50km. quote: Is there a timeacceleration in? its really to slow, if you just want to travel a bit...Nope. Use this time to read the manual and manage your assets. quote: I never hit with my Maingun the Groundtargets, they are over my cross and not more than 10km away and they dont take damage?! (Gun at 100%Power)Some structures can only be damaged through missile fire, try using a few ATS missiles on those buildings you are having trouble with.
  11. While watching the news, your television set gets some intermittent static and you think to yourself... "There's something out there."
  12. Yeah, I think the ep's are way too hard to accumulate. Like you, I found myself at -17k after a few hours of playing wondering how it got that way. I also suspected the probes so I nixxed those quick. It's a mystery, but a frustrating one for sure. I know this isn't BCMG but ep's were never this difficult to rack up then.
  13. This list is proof that The Sims is some sort of government mind control experiment!!! (arrrghhh... I can never find my tin foil hat when I need it)
  14. It's been my experience when you destroy a space station that it disappears first, then is shortly replaced with the "damaged model" or framework. At this point it has already begun to rebuild.
  15. My EYES!!! Nice story JC. That sounds like an awesome experience. P.S. Everyone appreciates a little linefeed now and then.
  16. quote:Originally posted by ProXimity: Every had a problem with a shuttle actually retreiving a pod? Like it can't seem to match the 'Y' axis (as an example.) Maybe I am NAVing it wrong with wps. ProX Yeah I've seen that. I think it has to do with flight vector or something. I usually solve it by having the shuttle fly somewhere else (not too far) and then reorder the pick-up, usually works then.
  17. GCV-Xenocide at your service.
  18. quote:Originally posted by Darkling: quote:Originally posted by Grizzle: I fell for the bait trap again last night. ... It all worked out well though, my shuttle got away with the pod and my CC kicked some alien a. I wish I were so lucky, I was running low on cash so I figured I'd leave my CC at Pixan (after I took it over) while I ran back to earth to get retreive my minerals so I could sell at Wraith, with it's high inflation rate. While on my way back, saw a pod so I figured, hey some extra cash right? Wrong!! as soon as I picked it up, here comes some fighters off a cloaked ship and destroyed my shuttle. Unfortunately I didn't save after capturing Pixan so I pretty much had to start over again. Ha...I left out the part where just afterwards I jumped to Barnards. I was going to take out Syganstar. My mind wandered a bit and as soon as HJ recharged I hit it. Didn't take long to realize I forgot to engage cloak. I spent the last minute thanking my crew for all their wonderful work. I was proud of the craft we had built (warning acquired..) we'd been able to upgrade all major systems (warning acquired...) spend some quality time planetside and deal swift justice to those who opposed us (emerging from hyperspace).
  19. I fell for the bait trap again last night. I knew it was one before I even launched my shuttle at it so I was less suprised when the klaxon sounded. It was a cargo pod and a quick stores scan showed it was loaded with goodies. It was hanging out near the gate to Barnard's star, as soon as the shuttle got close two fighters were launched from a cloaked CC. It all worked out well though, my shuttle got away with the pod and my CC kicked some alien a. [ 02-25-2004, 01:06 PM: Message edited by: Grizzle ]
  20. Aw come on, you know you want one.
  21. I was died in the wool NVidia until the "blow dryer in a box" FX series. I absolutely refused any ATI cards because of bad prior experience until someone convinced me to try the 9700. Been happy with it since. As for CTD's, I've had a few, not many, but some of them have been for no reason at all...just cruising along not touching anything and bam desktop. It's definitely not a major issue, but I'm gonna check out my AGP voltage as suggested.
  22. Or put some tape over the lens. Poor kid, really hates that drive doesn't he? Worse comes to worse just break another CD and tell them the drive did it and that it's cheaper in the long run to buy a new drive rather than keep replacing broken CD's.
