Please report ASAP! ------------------ Vice Admiral Andergum ICV Gummy 1, New America StarStation (Midae) Fleet Leader - Eversor Fleet http://www.firstworld.net/~andergum/ ICQ # 215323 Official Tester, Battlecruiser Series.

Commanders... Welcome to Eversor Fleet! Eversor Fleet's main task is to research, develop and supply the Insurgency with the best weapons and ships possible. Currently the Insurgency is experiencing a great deal of change. Three new fleets have been commissioned, commanders are moving to new positions and stations assets are being re-allocated to different fleets etc... etc... As of now, Eversor Fleet will be comprised of Starstation New America and Starstation Alpha Prime. My Eversor HQ office will remain on New America, however, my old post as Commander of New America, is now open and I need volunteers to fill this vacancy. Applications should be sent to me via email or ICQ message. Lastly, Derek has requested that each fleet meet on a weekly basis... I would like suggestions on what would be a good time for our meetings... and where. Most of you have ICQ, or we could use the IRC chatroom as well. Just about any time on weekends is good for me. Thanks... and again, welcome to Eversor Fleet. ------------------ Vice Admiral Andergum Eversor Fleet ICV Gummy 1 Official tester of BC3K the series... Long live the Insurgency!

Well... back in high school my older brother picked up the nickname of "Gumby". I was a few years behind him... but I started getting called "Little Gumby" by the older kids in the school. Later, my own classmates started calling me "Gum" or "Gums" .... Then when I first started my internet life... (way back when AOL was first starting out YUK!) I was searching for an internet user name. Well, Anderson and all its various permutations was pretty much used up. Not like John Anderson is a common name or anything. So, out of desperation I typed in a combination of Anderson and Gum... Andergum Been using it ever since. Ship name of Gummy 1 is just an extension of that.. since I am one with the Gum. Great Idea for a topic Mike!! er Air Mike... Hey didn't some other famous Mike use Air as a nickname too? ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr.

Ok... this still doesn't add up.... the fleet faq says.... >AVAILABLE FLEETS >There are a total of six Fleets in existence, five GALCOM, one EarthCOM and one Insurgent, >each of which will be covered here briefly. 5 + 1 + 1 = 7 .... it says six... The listed fleets are... >1. PRIME FLEET. >2. ORION FLEET. >3. ISS FLEET. >A. CIOPS. (CIOPS is a branch of ISS Fleet.) >4. WRAITH FLEET. >5. EARTHCOM FLEET. >A. SCID.(SCID Fleet is a branch of EARTHCOM) >6. SPECTRE FLEET. I'm not arguing the number of fleets... just the way its worded... The fact that members of Galcom and Earthcom can be part of SCID confuses it a bit... but it doesn't seem right to me to say that there are a total of six fleets.... and then list seven in the same sentence.. BTW.... the fleet data base is totally cool... excellent job Justin!!! ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr.

This is from the fleet faq.... AVAILABLE FLEETS There are a total of six Fleets in existence, five GALCOM, one EarthCOM and one Insurgent, each of which will be covered here briefly. 1. PRIME FLEET. 2. ORION FLEET. 3. ISS FLEET. 4. WRAITH FLEET. 5. EARTHCOM FLEET. 6. SPECTRE FLEET. I think it should say that there are six fleets... FOUR Galcom one Earthcom, One Insurgent... etc... Unless there is some hidden fleet I don't know about... ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr. New America StarStation ICV Gummy 1 Official tester of BC3K the series...

Looks good!!! Any chance of adding "email address" to the database fields? Optional display of course. or perhaps "ICQ number" as well, since many of us use it. Just a thought... Oh, and Rattler when did you change your ship name to the "Ratmobile" ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr.

Congrats on getting that far in the ACM!! I never finished it either, although my furthest stint in the ACM was way back with ver 1.0!! I'm not sure what mission I was up to, but I was asked to help in the ground assault of some planet or moon. (can't remember) Back then you weren't dropped from the ACM or courtmartialed for not completing missions exactly as planned. Then again you would randomly crash when going through a jump point or... well just about anything... (*&^%$#$ Take2) It was more an excersize in saving often I joined the test team soon afterward and my games went from ACM to trying to break as many things as possible... mostly in freeflight mode. Also the almost weekly patches made it tough to keep an ACM going Ah, well... congrats!! ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr.

I don't know if ship to ship transporting will be supported (don't think so) but to avoid your craft being stolen, just turn off power to launch control as soon as intruders board your ship. they won't be able to launch and your marines will eventually find them.

Try selecting another SB sound card from the list... I had this same problem with this card, but I then upgraded to the SB live card. (not sure If I had the PC1 64 or the PCI 128) You might want to try the MS Sound system or even the Ensoniq sound card selectionas well. I think I remember that Creative bought out Ensoniq and that their first PCI 3d sound cards were originally Ensoniq designs with Sound Blaster drivers and software. Also make sure that you have the latest drivers from soundblaster... as I recall, their early drivers for these cards were a bit flaky especially the 3d part. I originally bought the SBLive because I had problems with my SB PCI card. Anyway, hope this helps!!! ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr.

Man... it sure is tough to keep track of everyone's names around here... especially since everyone has at least 2 Ah well, great interview! especially all the stuff about the insurgents!!

Reporting as ordered... New America crew report in... ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr. New America StarStation ICV Gummy 1 Official tester of BC3K the series... Long live the Insurgency! ICQ # 215323

What am I playing??? BC3K - as always Klingon Academy - ROCKS! Diablo2 - more of the same but that's not bad X-BTF - just finished the story and destroyed all the Xenons Terminus - missions too similar, universe too small... Tachyon - lost interest... maybe I'll go back to it Motocross Madness 2 - totally fun! Unreal Tournament - best FPS IMHO, love CTF!!! ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr.

hmmm... I thought the Insurgents were the good guys.... ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr. New America StarStation ICV Gummy 1 Official tester of BC3K the series... Long live the Insurgency! ICQ # 215323 [This message has been edited by Andergum (edited 07-18-2000).]

Well... I'm a Production Supervisor at an elevator and dumbwaiter factory just outside of Chicago. I'm responsible for scheduling all the work in the factory (for about 40 people) and seeing that it gets done right and on time. I also spend some time helping out on the shop floor when needed, mainly testing PLC controllers in the electrical department, since this was where I worked prior to going into management. I have a very cool boss who is into computer games. We spend almost every lunch hour shooting each other along with the engineers and draftsmen in our Unreal Tournament Lan games. Good stress management!! ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr. New America StarStation ICV Gummy 1 Official tester of BC3K the series... Long live the Insurgency!

Man this is so sweet... Quake 3 had an excellent game engine and little game to it, but take the engine and add a game, hmmmm this looks like the real deal. Totally cool to be walking around the Bridge of Voyager, (too bad I didn't have a weapon at the time or I would have shot Janeway in the head.. ) and the Borg cube!! WOW.. really creepy seeing the Borg eye lasers coming at you... It looks they really did a good job on this one. Can't wait for the full version... ------------------ Cmdr.

If you can manage to capture Galcom it will become an Insurgent station and repairs are free again. (only at Galcom though) You can also do some mining in a friendly region and sell the ore to make more money than you will know what to do with. I recommend upgrading your engines first to save fuel and shields second to keep yourself alive Also check the tips section for other usefull stuff!------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr. New America StarStation ICV Gummy 1 Official tester of BC3K the series... Long live the Insurgency! ICQ # 215323

I just emailed you the necessary files to play as an Insurgent. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr. New America StarStation ICV Gummy 1 Official tester of BC3K the series... Long live the Insurgency! ICQ # 215323

Picked up a copy today.. so it is definately out. I'm going on vacation for a week and I plan to do some serious gaming!!! with Klingon Academy and Diablo 2 I think I'll be pretty busy ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr. New America StarStation ICV Gummy 1 Official tester of BC3K the series... Long live the Insurgency! ICQ # 215323

I talked to my local Babbages and they said either today or tomorrow. Pre-orders are probably out though. ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum Spectre Fleet Pre. comm. Cmdr. New America StarStation ICV Gummy 1 Official tester of BC3K the series... Long live the Insurgency! ICQ # 215323

heh.. just saw over at voodooextreme that Diablo 2 already has a patch that fixes umpteen things... hmmmm Considering that the game isn't even out yet, this is either really good support or really bad releasing. I'm hoping the former since I plan on getting this one...but this is the first time I can recall a game patch being released before the game. ------------------ Cmdr.
