Falstaff

Okay. From now on I'm landing my CC planetside while I bunk out. Thanks.

I have BC3000 and loved it. I had to uninstall it, however, when I upgraded to Windows 2000pro for business reasons. I just recently got BCMG and it works wonderfully. I love it! But one of the differences I've noticed is great. Bases are actually bases and they can't be trifled with. Awesome. In the old game I could hyper in, take some potshots with missiles, etc and then hyper out when the engines reloaded. I tried that the other day.....I was blown away before my ship had fully exited hyperspace. So I sat around and watched some hostiles attack GalcomHQ. Each time they made a b-line for the base I would get a closeup view on them. It was like watching somebody take a sandblaster to a soup-cracker. Neat. I sleep better at night knowing I'm docked at a nigh-invulnerable base.

I've been doing a little looking and I have a minor question. Please forgive me, mighty ones if it has been addressed already and I was too feeble to find it. The three days of real time gameplay--no fast forward, etc... Does that have to all be played out outside of a station? My computer has been on, running BCMG for 72+ hours straight. When I get tired or run out of time I dock and leave it running.... It is now 4-7-3010, 14:00 or so. I can find no artifacts available. I am in ROAM, does this make a difference?
