Would like to try this mission generator my Email is: [email protected]. Thanks.

Hi Guys Here's another good one: www.lostinflatspace.com very openended and plenty of gameplay all action is top down but the ideas are very well thought out.

Downloaded the file at least four times and got the same result will try a CRC32 check when I get home tonight. Thanks for your reply.

Hi, maybe it's me but for some reason I get the follwoing error when I try and install the latest patch: Invalid Patch File c:Program Filesdreamcatcher3000adUniversal CombatUc2_00_30RC8.exe This is on a fresh install of UC updated to 2.00.00 as I have just got a new PC. Not had any problems before any ideas. Before anyone asks I am running the patch from the UC directory. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

My personal thoughts on the RP side of BC are that more use should be made of the single player game experience as it is an area where anything can and does happen. Using AAR's and liasing with other Commanders in a controlled environment using basic rules which I have been working on would be interesting and having an exp system would also help keep things moving along. If you have any ideas I would be interested to hear them.

Available for active service. Sorry I haven't been around lately been really busy at work. September to December is our busiest period will try to join in as much as possible.

Voted

I've voted and will be available at the weekend to playtest the new ROE.

I'm away all weekend so won't be able to make any sessions Have fun guys should be be available next weekend.

GCV Starlight Megaron Heavy Carrier New crew on shakedown cruise Commander: Patrik Vanda Current Mission: Patrol of Luna engage any hostiles and protect civilian shipping. The craft is currently cloaked and carrying out recon of the region. [RP] "Commander we have several craft in system, sensors report one is an armed transport in need of repair" stated the newly graduated comm officer finally glad to have something to say. So far it had been an uneventful first mission for the crew of the GCV Starlight, after the hustle and bustle of station life space seemed big and very empty. "Decloak and open a hailing frequency, lets see if they require assistance" barked Commander Patrik Vanda and all the staff on station began to prepare for contact. Finally something to do thought Patrik as the Starlight prepared to close on the as yet unknown vessels....[RP] Hi guys I'm new to this so any pointers would be very welcome

My favourite feature is the open ended nature of the game and the fact that whenever I decide to play anything can and usually does happen Another feature is the feeling that I'm actually in command of a living breathing crew and the decisions that I make have real repercussions. Anyway thats all for now suffice to say this game rocks

Should be available for both 2200 sessions and will try to make the 1700. Commander Patrik Vanda GCV Starlight Don't mind but not a fighter if possible.

Ready and waiting looking forward to some action this month.

Hi guys I can't make the 4pm one on Saturday but should be at the other three. Looking forward to it.

Will be a little late joining you guys tomorrow night I'm watching the Beach Boys in concert in sunny Wales Hope to make it online once I get home.

0000 Hours looks like a late session for me Thanks for that Marvin

Hi Remo sorry to be a pain what time is that GMT?

Ready and looking forward to some action!!! Oops my sig was wrong have sorted it now sorry.

Hi Remo Is my account active yet?

The static interference lets you know that a cloaked ship is in the area. This also means that the npc commander has a high AI. It's a warning to be careful.

Got to the login page no problem apart from a confirmation screen regarding security certificates.

Tried Mission 2 again last night this involves a patrol of the Alpha Centauri system starting with a 30 min patrol of Nevuela. All started well I was keeping well away from Destiny and monitoring my local space for hostiles. About 5 mins into the patrol a few neutral craft attacked the starstation which launched about 6 fighters in response. They made short work of the attackers then once the station was safe. I got multiple acquired messages and all 6 fighter craft headed my way. No problem I thought and got weapon systems online and set FATALS on all 6 fighters. They moved into range and all seemed to be going well until I got a message "there's something out there". Suddenly a Firestorm uncloaked and bombarded me with fire and at the same time all the fighter craft seemed to coordinate there attacks. I have never taken any serious damage since buying UC but this attack ripped through my shields and the computer started reading damage messages like no tomorrow. I targetted the Centris gate and jumped by this time my PTA had taken out half the fighter craft and managed to slow down the Firestorm. On exiting hyper I raced to the gate with 3 fighters still chasing. At this point I checked TACOPS and noticed the station had launched more fighters which were heading my direction. Somehow I managed to survive but the challenge and experience was incredible I now realise why the upgrades are available. So if anyone wants a challenge try sitting for half an hour in a hostile system with a vanilla command craft and see how long you last. The new patch has brought a new lease of life to UC but from now on life is going to get harder much harder.

Here is the latest AAR from Commander Patrik Vanda and the crew of the GCV Starlight as the adventure continues. Mission 3 Commander: Patrik Vanda Craft: GCV Starlight (Megaron Heavy Carrier) Location: Centris Region 4/5/3030 01:51 Orders received to proceed to Galcom HQ decided to go via Pluto and pick up mining drones deployed on Charon. On checking TACOPS noticed one hostile a GAM/RAI Firestorm decide to clear region then head for Pluto. All weapon systems armed and coordinates of Firestorm entered into Navigation computer. 01:53 Closing fast and Firestorm seems oblivious until it's too late and nothing more exists. Sent Shuttle 2 to retrieve cargo pod then headed towards the Sol wormhole. Location: Pluto Region 01:58 Entered Pluto region proceeding to orbit Charon. 02:02 TER/DIP LRT-10 entered system and has been targetted by two VAL/MER Templon's. Readied two fighters and gave them intercept orders on the Templons hoping to keep the mercs busy while Shuttle 1 attempts to tow the diplomat to Gazer 1. 02:08 Diplomat has docked sucessfully and on merc destroyed the other has decided to make a run for it. Recalling fighters and preparing to retrieve drones. 02:10 Gave orders for repairs to be carried out on fighters 2 and 3 due to minor damage from the engaement with the mercenarys. 02:14 In orbit around Charon and all shuttles launched and proceeding to retrieve drones. Just received message that we have intruders onboard gave orders to shut down launch control. 02:15 Its not good five intruders and three hostiles in the region. Proceeding to engage TER/INS Battlecruiser MK3 as it is the greatest threat at the moment. 02:19 Battlecruiser destroyed still four intruders onboard. One marine dead and seven badly injured just received message that Shuttles 1 and 2 have recovered there drones. Gave them orders to halt while we get on top of the intruder problem. 02:21 Another marine dead three intruders still loose. Nearly all marines in a bad way decided to send the critically injured ones to Medibay for treatment there no good to me dead. 02:24 Only two marines in fighting condition and still two intruders this should be interesting. 02:26 Need fuel desperately gave orders to head towards Gazer 1. 02:29 Acquired by TER/INS S Fighter this better be quick. Stayed close to Gazer 1 and let the station defenses protect me. 02:30 Still two intruders and Medibay is been pushed to the limits and now we've got a GAM/RAI Battlecruiser MK1 closing fast. 02:32 Battlecruiser disabled as soon as it came within range of Gazer 1. Only one intruder left. Status: 2 System Engineers badly injured, 2 Flight Engineers badly injured only 3 marines able to carry out normal duties and Radine down to 319. 02:33 Finally clear of all intruders and all shuttles have extracted there drones time to dock and refuel then proceed to Galcom. 02:52 Launched from Gazer 1 with two new marines and a shiny new fighter set course for Earth. Location: Earth Region 03:01 Arrived in Earth Region to the message intruders onboard. No hostiles visible in region. Checked PERSCAN only one this time thank god. Orders received to dock at Galcom and await further communication. 03:07 Intruder terminated with only minor casualties. Galcom is 42 Klicks away. 03:09 Docked at Galcom HQ and received orders to deliver a Top Secret cargo to the Velari Starstation in the Polaris-2 region. Orders stated that we must proceed straight there and only engage hostiles if they pose a direct threat to ourselves. Also if we are acquired the hostile must be destroyed so that any possible scan information doesn't fall into the wrong hands. This includes all escape shuttles. 03:11 Opened up Navitron and calculated flight path to Polaris-2. First jump region is Jupiter. Location: Jupiter Region 03:17 No problems so far Jupiter clear of hostiles just a GAM/TRA passing through moving towards the Sirius Wormhole. 03:18 GAM/RAI Viper entered system as per orders proceeded towards the Wormhole. Location: Lyrius 03:22 Entered Lyrius region. Viper has been destroyed by TER/MIL Starfighter and a new threat has appeared a ZEL/CRI X22 Aurora which is targetting the Gammulan Trader. 03:25 TER/INS Alininx has been engaged by a GAM/ASS Infiltrator right next to our next jump gate. This could be tricky. 03:27 Seem to have slipped by unnoticed only 44 Klicks to the jump gate. Location: Lennen 03:30 Entered Lennen. What a lovely system will try to keep clear of Pixan it's a known raiders hang out. All seems quiet so far but systems show we are been tracked. 03:31 Knew someone would show up and take an interest. DRO/RAI S Fighter shouldn't be too much trouble and guess what intruders as well only one we should be ok. 03:33 S Fighter disabled but two ZEL/CRI Infiltrators also want a piece of me. 03:36 Intruder still loose seems to be giving my marines a bit of a run around. We have now been acquired by a TER/INS Interceptor 1. 03:37 Interceptor destroyed by PTA. 03:39 Intruder has manged to get into Shuttle 1 but the three marines already onboard are making short work of him. 03:41 Intruder taken prisoner again with only minor casualties. Launch control is back online and two fighters have been launched. One Infiltrator disabled by PTA the other destroyed by Fighter 2. 03:42 No targets engaging hyper to Polaris wormhole. 03:44 Acquired by GAM/MIL X22 Auror whilst in hyper best be careful when exiting hyper thats when the craft is at it's most vulnerable. 03:46 X22 destroyed by two FATAL missiles proceed full speed to Polaris wormhole it's time to move on. 03:47 SYR/CRI Starwarrior closing fast although a scan of the craft shows both hull and shield are badly damaged PTA should take care of it. Theres no way we'll make it to the wormhole in time. There all after me know DRO/CRI Quester also moving to my position current range 120 Klicks. We have decided to stand and fight. 03:48 Starwarrior destroyed as it exited jump Quester now 87 Klicks and closing fast. Two FATALS engaged. 03:51 Quester also taken out but diplomat destroyed while I was busy command won't be impressed. Location: Polaris-2 03:53 Entered Polaris-2 region heading towards Velari to deliver cargo. Waiting for jump engines to recharge. 04:00 43 Klicks from Velari and we have five intruders beamed into the shuttle launch bay. Time to get the marines out of bed. 04:02 One marine dead and four in a bad way. Five still preparing for combat. One intruder killed still four to go. 04:04 This must be a joke four more intruders have beamed aboard straight into Medibay. One medic has already been killed. Made the decision to dock at Velari and let the station marines help out I could lose alot of crew otherwise. Hope you enjoy this will post further adventures soon including a covert night recon of a hostile base.

Thankyou everyone for all your help. In the last few weeks I've learned alot and I'm eager to meet my new crew and take my Command Craft on it's first true assignment. It's a great honour to be stood here receiving my Commanders Wings which I'll wear with pride and I look forward to upholding the good name of Prime Fleet. Again thankyou everyone now I guess the real hardwork starts
