Oh man Im sorry to hear this,at the end doesnt matter how good you are at your job,they dont care a ****. Sure its hard to see how your live as it was changes that fast but we all are capable of adapting to what life throw at us. I wish you all the good luck in finding a new job soon, and please try to enjoy this christmas the best you can.

I tried what Delta1 said and SC was right,solar panels dont work properly in surface ,they dont work at 100% but instead they worked at 40% in a moon.Was enought for main and aux life support system and nothing more. I turned off main reactor core and engines,and left the CC only with life supports systems feeding from solar panels.Good way to leave the CC sleeping while im away from my PC.

At this point I think doesnt matter if GBSIII is more user-friendly or not.I dont think it will be changed anyway.Why dont you wait and see it? dont you like surprises?

So this discusion has ended,right?

Can you tell if you were flying in manual or autopilot mode? I have the same problem some times when I fly myself the ship,sure im not doing it correctly.The autopilot always manages to jump thought(wich indicates the AI is smarter than me ) Hope it helps

OMG you dont know how much I wanted a game like that to exist...Patience is a virtue

------------------ However the situation should be changed if you go up against MORE than one enemy ship (most of my battles range from 2-5 enemy capital ships now) its easy yes, however against an EXPERIENCED AI Opponent you can find yourself hanging on to life by a string, Your own officers AI is only 50% effective against an enemie AI since your officers relie mostly on you to give them orders and such ----------------------- Mmmmh, well I didnt see things that way.You are right.

This is my first post so.... HELLOW EVERYBODY! Well, for the ones who feel space combat is easy because of low AI oponents, try this : 1)Put the autopilot on with the AI option. 2)Try to command your ship using ONLY the options of the menu,like if you were giving orders to the flight officer instead of piloting yourself. 3) When you engage the enemy try to refrain yourself from switching the autopilot off.(Its hard but its possible ) 4) To do evasive maneuvers simply order the ship to target other enemy or have some waypoints already created and use the Resume waypoints order.( to avoid your ship enter in those nasty frontal passes) 5)Remember that inside the orders menu the time freezes,so you can think a little your tactics and what to do. 6) Try to make the tacops screen your home.It gives you a better combat awareness than the bridge view. Doing this you will fight in the same conditions with the enemy, because both your ship and the enemy ship are using similar AI (except for the AI level of course). You will realise how difficult can be to survive an engagement, and will start to think twice before entering any fight (the way it should be I think) Open fire like mad with the ship┬┤s guns is easy,but to let your crew do the job can be very challenging.
