If I remember correctly, that was addressed, and according to the VCF, SC fixed it by implementing a warp. yeah, i lost one recently too, waiting to see what will happen with it. its full, and running around on the moon in the lennen region. I dont care much, as I do have another....and I have pretty much stopped mining, a while back. Never know when one might need one, though. I have noticed, they only disappear when full, or it seems. I do not think it has much to do with its range from the command ship. As ole Frazier Crane says: "I'm listening!"

I get those, when running long periods(my cheap 9200se grafix card, I thought). I do a save and reboot..(clearing any windows memmory leaks, I like to think) and it clears up for a while. reading your post, I KNOW your having as much a blast with uc, as I am.

Jamotto, My condolences. I hope your friend made it. If one has not actually been, in that position...for an EXTENDED amount of time, one cannot possibly understand the consequence to the human psych. I have been there, and KNOW, the reality of the ADRENELINE..and the fear, and the phsychological crash, when removed from such an UNREAL enviroment, these soldiers find themselves. It is EASY, for someone, who has experianced WAR, on TV and through others, to cry out for more, and to be disassociated, with the REALITY it entails. I have seen men, like it so much, they created situations, where they could kill "legitamately", and would get depressed, if there was no action, for more than a week. Others, Ive seen break down and cry, from the ANTICIPATION alone. These were NOT children, but 6'4", 285 lb hardened MEN! One, cannot anticipate how far they may go, in ANY direction within the human psyche, until they have experianced life's worst possible scenerios, and survived.

LIS, that would have been too logical. Perhaps building a retriever(small drone) and leaving it at the space station, for various remote operations. I mean, what problem is there in throwing a few million in that direction, seeing as how many many millions, are lost; due to the lack of appropriate backup measures. Even NASA's loss of the shuttle, may have been avoided. It's NOT, as if, there is not enough foreknowledge, for them to take such steps. Sometimes, I question NASA's complete lack of common sense in these matters.

ohhhhh man!....I was REALLY looking forward, to hearing the results, from their examination of the samples.......(sigh!)

hummmm....Key Words: "BY OBSERVATION" too many cobwebs....

quote:Funny how when it all goes down you don't see street or any of the liberals posting, just like that article said, when our soldiers kill a terrorist with a bomb and a gun they scream that you are killing a freedom fighter, but when a terrorist kills hundreds of civillians and children they are all quiet. Makes you wonder a lot of things.... So street, go ahead, what have you to say now? Maybe you can tell us again about your military career and if you were actually in the US army for the US army or in the US army making sure they don't harm any freedom fighters as you like calling them. You really want to know what I have to say?...Or do you want to hear a LIBERAL stance?. I can give you the former, but the lateral, is a little outside my expertise. Not ALL freedom fighters are terrorist. Not all terrorist are freedom fighters. And Not ALL tactics, we NOW refer to as TERRORISTIC, are isolated to third world countries, nor are they isolated outside the practice of the USA or RUSSIA. What happen to those children, had an obviious outcome, and predictable, from the start. NO surprise here! What is it that is said about an irresistable force, meeting an unmoveable object? I should hope you understand that analogy, but just in case...... My views, are NOT politically biased, nor can they be catagorized as LEFT or RIGHT wing. But, this I will say. YOU are the ENEMY of my country...AS IS BUSH and his followers. THESE are the REAL TERRORIST, as is the RUSSIAN equivilant. say what you will, YOU will NOT change my views or opinions, and to ATTACK me for them, only serves to show, the mentality, and the necessity for REMOVAL, of ALL TERRORISM AND THEIR SUPPORTERS!! good luck to you and your children, when the SH*T hits the fan. It is becoming very obvious...that day is coming. I will reply to things, I see fit. Your challenges, soback, are kind of useless. I only come to these forums, when I am in the office. I have MOST holidays off. Sooooooo..when You dont hear from me, I am enjoying the benefits, of a GOOD job, with GOOD benefits(eat your heart out)

quote:Wasn't it Ben Frankilin, or someone that said in order to sustain a democracy, you'd have to have a civil rebellion every hundred years or so?

Those, NOT on chemical drugs, spend enough time, in an alpha brain state(in front of TV) which brainwashes them to ACCEPT illogical conclusions and an irradic form of reason. I think OUR government's understanding, of such, has allowed them to circumnavigate, the rational of Ben Franklin's prediction, through the use of these tools. Does, this mean BEN FRANKLIN, was an IDIOT; because, he speaks of our form of government, as a democracy, when it is actually a FEDERAL REPUBLIC? I dont think so, but MY style logic, is not that which seems to prevail on these boards, or in the minds of those RIGHT WINGED, (leagalized) drug users. or those stuck with their nose in the idiot -box, learning TWISTED interpretation of reason [ 09-03-2004, 04:04 PM: Message edited by: street ]

Maybe, next time

The real problem, with this whole discussion, is finding a common understanding, in definition of terms. I was trained, in the United States,a form of GORILLA warfare. This includes everything, from planting explosives and blowing up buildings, to out right assassinations. We were NOT, told to evacuate a 5 story building, of women and children, before detonating, the explosives. Our ONLY concern, was elimination of the specified targets. Now, is this "TERRORISM". Your damn right it is....by the BUSH definition. Our country, has been REDEFINING, its vocabulary, so that, ANY who stand against a GOVERNMENT's will, is a TERRORIST. This is a form of reason, that is as illogical as you can get. Under the broad anti-terrorist laws, imposed, within the UNITED STATES, in 1993....merely passing out political action fliers...informing the public of closed door political meetings, and their intent...is cohersing ANTI-GOVERNMENT sentiment; thus, deemed as TERRORISM. You EXTREME right wingers, need to wake up! Gorilla Warfare, is the ONLY means to stand against an OVERWHELMING force. Regardless, of one's opinion concerning those methods employed. These actions,DO NOT, dictate, that those fighting such an overwhelming enemy are TERRORIST, whose stand, and purpose, is of NO validity..Nor , does it dictate, they do NOT deserve to be heard and only require execution. And if it is, what does one designate, cohert operations, which disrupt and influence a targeted government(I have done this very thing, FOR the U.S.)...not to mention OUT right attack on another government? ARE these NOT an act of terrorism in themselves...too? Maybe, we should impliment OPERATION CHECHEN FREEDOM, and PRE-EMPTIVELY attack RUSSIA. Why not? IT would be just as "JUSTIFIED", as this FARCE, bush has demonstrated within IRAQ. Tell me I am in the world of illusion? Some people, REALLY do NOT have an inkling, as to what is and what is'nt.

quote:Then they should declare open war with the Russians and have the adult men and woman fighting it not killing children to get a solution to their problems. At least target adult facilities and keep the children out of it that way. Don't these terrorists know killing children will only enrage the Russians and will stiffen Russia's resolve. already been tried... They do as I would do...if standing against an unconquorable and oppressive ENEMY. An enemy who has NO intention of negotiating(THIS is what brought it to this level), or releasing its oppresive force. You do what you CAN...to inflict ANY AND ALL harm upon them that you can....and EMBRACE the inevitable. When you remove ALL options, other than DEATH...Your enemy will embrace it, if only to take you with him. If one cannot comprehend this, then buying into the "GOOD GUY" russian theory, and the USSR's RIGHT to oppress others...is what One CHOOSES. Go for it, but in MY book....those who fall for such propaghanda, are the REAL IDIOTS!!

quote: Well, they started shooting hostages so Russian troops stormed the school. They have shot dozens, maybe hundreds. Reason with that street, you are a complete #$^$@& So now I'm the bad guy, because a group of radicals killed the children of a GROUP of "RULE BY FORCE", socio-communist? You must be one of the brightest people on the planet!! You and Jaguar, must be stroking each other, for confirmation, that your NOT BOTH complete #$^@& s!! GOOD LUCK!! I guess, you can't comprehend what this means? quote: far as the "RIGHT" path goes. That is a matter of perspective, of those playing the game. I personally base, what is "RIGHT", by that which is Moral, and that which would adhere to MORAL principle; however, That which will be done, will be done, based on POLITICAL manipulation. What will be considered "RIGHT", will be considered such, based on propaghanda and manipulation dictated by the RUSSIAN Government.

It is 05/29/3030 The attack went as planned. I had called in 2 mk1, and 2 mk2; along with their compliment of 16 mk1 and mk2 intercepters. Wraith had been willing to assign 2 corsairs, 2 intercepters, and 2 ravens. Every last ship was assigned to do nothing, but defend the primary attack craft. The GCV-Coy: a measly little Garid! We had determined, there was a realitively weak defensive position, which we could attempt a fleet attack, without loosing the whole fleet. And GVC-Coy, was going to fly straight in, surrounded by the fleet. GCV-Coy jumped to planet lennen, and got into position, Then the fleet jumped to the little Garid, and got into Escort mode. The little Garid, headed straight down that MUL/RAI space station, "PIXAN"'s throat. One of the intercepter pilots, got a little brave, and had gotten himself blown to bits, early on, when rushing to formation. Everyone had jumped in, dangerously close, to the outer range, of Pixan's main forward beam. The pilot must have strayed, a bit, on his jump. When everyone, crossed the 225 (kilometer?) line, we lost a corsair, that had dirfted a little too far to the left. I literally cringed, when I saw his ship explode, on the left lower left, corner of my screen! suddenly, Pixan launched two ravens..a minute later, two more. There was launch after launch. I dont know how many there were, but when I clicked on the red dot, There was a list of red fighters, and 1 shuttle that streatched down the screen. I notice, ALL the fighters, were launched straight at GCV-COY, "MY LITTLE GARID!!" Every intercepter, both corsairs, and both ravens took off!, their mission clear....PROTECT COY! The 4 Battle Cruisers stayed just behind Coy, to the right, and to the left. Getting close to the 123 mark, I noticed, we had lost several intercepters, and several Raiders, had bitten the dust as well. The closer, we got, the more often, the probe, would announce, another ship destroyed. So many, and caught, in the moment, I could only sit back and PRAY, I was'nt next. I was surprised, how well the intercepters were doing, in holding off that fleet of fighters, Pixan, had launched. closing to about 30 kelometers, I was sure, my luck was going to hold out. I launched a whole bararge of VAGRANTS...One MK1- BC, was taking damage, and was getting the stations full, attention. He, in turn, had turned his attention to the station. The two mk2's headed off toward the Enemy Ravens..PTA's firing everywhere around the Garid. The AI, had taken total control, NO FLEET control was necessary. So I could focus my attention, to the job at hand:" TAKE OUT THAT STATION" I was getting about 15 kilometers from the Station, when the first VAGRANT landed. I was screeming, full speed head on. Shields, somehow managed to be floating between 30-50, while being battered. Intercepters and ravens, were buzzing, shooting missiles, and PTA's glowing. Forward guns blazing, missiles exploding, Slowly, their shields glowed RED, and failed. The second half of the missile volly landed, and the station turned into a fireball. The probe, obediently reported The loss of one of the MK1-Battle Cruisers among those scrolling reports. I was feeling a sense of LOSS, for those brave crews. Crews, sacrificing their little NPC lives, to protect, me. I immediately set course to a jump gate, and jumped. Every missile, every MUL/RAI Raven had left, seemed to launch, as we entered hyperspace. Sheilds, suffered a minor breach, just as we jumped. No problems: Navigation, suffered an overload.. Engineers jumped right on it. This split their force, which was formidable. I believe, Pixan had launched everything, in desperation. The PTA, of the remaining 3 BC were cutting up a chunk of the fighters, while another chunk jumped to meet me at the end of my jump. While traveling through hyper, my shields charged, I locked EVERY missile I could on one of the fighters in front of me. That was only about 2/3 of what was there, waiting. I did notice, a corsair and 4 TER/MIL Intercepters, had already arrived, and joined the malee at the LYRIUS, jump gate, upon my arrival. Thats when I noticed that SINGLE shuttle, launched by pixan. It was giving it everything it had to reach the gate. I ordered ATTACK, on the shuttle. and the PTA's were working on the fighters, inflicting their usual pounding. I also noticed, the Ravens had almost stopped shooting missiles. I believe, they were beyond desperation. We Took out the shuttle, Very close, to it making it to the gat Then we jumped to the planet Lennen. took out a few fighters too. This created a another thinning, of their fleet(or what was left of it). The battle cruisers cut their opposition, down to about 3, when those three jumped, to help the 6 or 7 comrads, they had left. ALL were making one last attempt to gang up on my Garid. But, now they were, considerably weaker. I took a glance, at who was left, in my fleet. There was 4 intercepters, 1 corsair, 1 raven, 1MK1 Battle Cruisers(empty of fighters) and 2 MK2 BC(also empty). The 6 fighters, we had left were taking on about 9 Raider fighters that were left. the Garid, had its PTA's and missiles firing. The number was cut down to 4 enemy fighters, and 4 Terren fighters, by the time the 3 battle cruisers arrived. Their heavy PTA's helped us finish off the remainder. Now, after the smoke has cleared. I sit, guarding the station....Empty husk, being regenerated, through some mysterious force....waiting. I dont know if this will work, but I have to try. What is left of my meager fleet, will sacrifice themselves, if necessary....If that station comes to life.....to defend this little garad, sitting in the blind spot....waiting. 3 beat-up battle cruisers, 2 intercepters, 1 corsair, 1 raven, and 1 garid. That is all that is left....(sigh!). In the end, I hope it was worth the loss!! We are going to CAPTURE Pixan......"maybe, then I can get the respect I deserve!!". echoes through the corriders of the GVC-Coy. quad: Terran Sector: sirius Sector 8 Region: Lennen Date 05/29/3030 time: 04:18 Experiance points=59541 "Strategic Commander street, out"
