Yes, you can! But make sure that the atmosphere isn't hostile to your CC. Some planets and moons have an atmosphere that will be harmful to your CC, fighters, or AE. Shuttles have an easier time surviving these atmospheric conditions. As for making sure the atmosphere isn't hostile? Hmmm, I'd like some help on that. Is there a computer system that tells you the hostility of an environment? I've noticed when I ise Tacops and observe a planet or moon, sometimes there are decriptions along the meridians such "normal", and others. Does anyone have an idea of what these mean to me and the integrity of my ship? Man, now I understand why Resnig get ripped on so much. This guy is a total moron. It seems he doesn't like taking orders, like RTB, or ESCORT, or.....ANYTHING! Thats the last time I make him commander of the away team. On a lighter note(sort of), we totally detroyed a INS marine base on earth, with only a CAV. Winning the fight for earth one base at a time! ...That was until the INS fighters came. Quick, back to the CC! ...Resnig...I said back to the CC! RESNIG!!!! Oh well, he's not listening, I'll just beam his ass up later. Back at the CC. Good. Now to order the flight engineers to start CALS and get us to saftey. Enemy fighters closing fast, and I'm not at the bridge yet. Flight engineers, attack the enemy fighters! Hey.....you know that moutain looks a little close.....pull up...guys....hel---BOOM! Commander Vans Tiderion has been killed in action. Doh! ....Stupid Resnig.

I think you can remotely deploy drones..... You do it through Tacops by setting Waypoints. Try using a probe so you can access other star systems through Tacops, then set SC(shuttle Craft, not supreme commander, Ha!)waypoints to deploy the drone on a planet. Hope this helps a little.

Once my shuttle was stolen, so I used the PTA's to disable it. Then I tractored it in. Had to repair the whole shuttle from almost scrap but it was worth getting it back, I'll tell ya. Those PTA's not totally destroying it was a matter of luck I suppose.

Hello everyone. I searched the forums for a bit and couldn't find any info so I'll see if you fellow commanders might help. I'm trying to deploy 5 marines and my AE to the earth's surface so I can do some "training". Not sure what training entails but I've heard it mentioned so I figure it will be fun! So I land my CC Solnar planetside. Load my troops in the transporter and try and deploy from tacops. No dice. So I launch and fly in the atmosphere and try. No good. It still won't let me select deploy. So I return to space and it finally lets me use the transporter. So Im guessing the transporter can only be used from space? I am beamed to the planet and I only see two other marines. Ok, thats strange. Well I might as well train the marines that are here. So I try and issue commands with hotkeys in the manual. Shift+; Follow me Shift+' Hold Position So I issue the order, "Follow me", and nothing happens. Do the marines give you a cue of some sort to verify the order? So after trying to figure that out I gave up and went to TACOPS. I issued the command "Escort: AE." Now I notice that the marines look at me when I issue this order. Ok good. I run away. They just stand there. I have to fly my jet pack quite a distance away,almost out of visual range to get them to start moving "with" me. Am I missing something? So by this point I've had enough and decide to teleport back to the CC. I arrive and check perscan to see the status of my missing transported marines. DEAD. Did they get beamed into a rock or something? Is Resnig sharing whatever he's smoking with the rest of my crew!? Thanks in advance for any wisdom on the situation commanders. Over and out.

Ok, I went out and bought a new sound card(In profile). All the problems are fine now. Sorry for the above post. Delete it please. Anyway, I'll be around a bit. Nice to meet you all. Now I'm off to explore Alpha Centauri. Went to Jupiters moon IO. You know, the moon of volcanos and fire? Well I guess it wasn't a good idea to get out of my ship on that planet. As soon as I left the SC1 I was killed in action. DOH! Science is fun! Is there any way to check if the moon or planet I'm on is too hostile to leave the ship? Thanks!

Hello all. Just picked up BCM gold from my local electronics store. I'm having a few problems. First let me preface this by saying that this game looks really cool. I can't wait to into it! Anyway, last night I had a hell of a time. I started a roam game as a Terran/Explorer in a LRT 15. Everything was great until I started playing, I went to the Login screen at GALCOM HQ, and my game CTD. So Installed the latest patch, 1.04 or something. I patched it to the main directory, BCMG, and when I executed it said that I needed to have patch 1.0. I found this odd since it specifically states on the 3000AD download page that all the patches are incremental,ie. don't have to download previous patches. So I downloaded both patches, and installed them correctly to the BCMG folder. Well I did that and was ready to explore the moons of jupiter. When I went to the LOGIN and GALCOM HQ(where are started) the game CTD. Ok the game doesn't like the Login at GALCOM, I just wont do that. So I start a new game and immediately LOGOUT from GALCOM. Ok, I'm cruising around in space. So far so good. So I hit alt+s to bring up TACOPS. Ok TACOPS is online. Now I go to a sub-system, I believe it was LOGISTIX. I try to use the Top down menu and the game CTD. Yikes! So I browsed this forum looking for answers(and I saw some the other issues you guys have to deal with, wow), and I saw that another person had CTD with the TRADECOM. Sounds like the same problem. So I've just posted here. I've read the manual, re-installed and repatched 3 times. I really dont know what else to do. If someone could help, I'm sure the great space gods would smile on you. Please help!
