UC beats it all

Hey George you got a chance to play UC yet?

Yes you are right, but the most thing that interests us now not what solar reactor actually does but what is the difference to have solar reactor settings on 10 instead of on 5. It's enough to generate enough energy even with SR on 5 but why we have control over it till 10? That's what is the question, nobody could find any difference. There is no need for it since we have all we need using only half of what it can do.

Well George we are always here to help, but before asking any question you will have to read and complete manual with Commander tutorial mission. After that read appendix and all other files that will come along with the game. And DON'T forget to patch the game to the latest 2.00.11 patch. If you have any questions first use forum search engine, because Derek doesn't like when people junk up the forums with the new threads which subject was discussed already in other threads, so use search engine and if you are still in trouble send Personal Messages , because 99% issues were already discussed.

I have just going to buy the UC from the amazon.com but I stuck!!! when I read the ÔÇ£users reviewsÔÇØ what these guys have wrote?!@ It is really incredible only 3 good reviews!!!! The most of them suggest: ÔÇ£stay away from this game!ÔÇØ wwwhyyy! They are too hard with the game! Any way I just paste here 1-2 lines of a review that I have found funny the guy wrote: ÔÇ£This game requires a real PhD to figure out how to play it not the fake one Derek Smart has. Prepare to spend the rest of your life learning how to play this game to enjoy all the features.ÔÇØ LOL!! INCREDIBLE!!! YA? And George, read first thread in forum, believe me it's very important. Derek excpects us to follow the rules of his forums.

No George, from what I've learned many people who leave reviews like to critisize too much. Man, just buy it and try it for yourself. Yes it DOES take time to learn. Don't be too excited that you will be able to enjoy 100% of the futures after first hour of play. It will take at least few hours to play tutorial (you'll have to read 80 pages big manual along with running tutorial). But, I am telling you and many others can add their votes - IT'S WORTH IT 100%. Even if you don't like it you won't find any other game of similar genre so it's a nice thing to have in collection. And it's only 20 bucks. Believe me most of those people are scum. You can't be compitent enough if you've played only 1 hour. That's the most of impressions in reviews. This game has unusually steap learning curve but if you'll manage to get familiar yourself with it, oh man what an adventure awaits you. But it's all about patience and will power . Well, that's quite an unusuall opinion...

By the way, so many of us playing UC, did anyone make any movie so far? This game offers lots of different scenes... Anyone made any movie, got any link to check them? I mean movie like a real nice movie with some cool added music, some cool event recorded or something...

Second copy? To keep it as a reserve? Or for one of your friends so he/she can enjoy UC together with you?

I don't think Derek is SO evil... Do as I do, don't care about Solar reactor that much and you will be fine .

Battery, galaxians... so far it was only 2 theories and none of them make sense. Well battery does, but what for it is? It doesn't affect systems of the ship whatsoever. Solar reactor saves radine? Well sooner or later you run out of it anyway and you have to dock to buy more. So far solar reactor is pretty useful device.. to keep discussion alive on this board . I can't find any other reason for it to be so vitally useful.

I've ran search in UC Tech support section and found 7 threads including yours about joysticks. I don't use joystick myself though.

They won't release anything like that. There is already demo out which shows pretty much what the game is like. And they won't release any demo showing "games trade simulator" because the game is barely about the trade, all BCM series games are mostly focused on military operations. X2 is much more about the trade than BCM games. To start your carrier in X2 you have to trade, but to start your carrier in UC - you have to fight soldier. But of course it's up to you. There are threads devoted to trading routes and you can achieve pretty much by trading in UC. You can buy weapons, equipment to your ships, shuttles, new ground units and many more things. And I REALY suggest to check TOP thread in the forum (it is in EVERY forum), otherwise soldier you will be released from any duties and taken any priviledges even to post in BCM forums. (They'll never learn ).

By the logic when you increase power of it the output of solar reactor should increase too. But there wasn't any real aknowledgment for that. And people also say that too much is not always too good. Wasn't any acknowledgment for that either. So I guess thread is starting all over .

I just turn always my solar batteries towards the sun. How it helps, I actually don't give a damn . I know one thing that with having plates towards the sun you get lots of additional power points. But I have enough even without them. Is there any ETA on when this thread will end? We getting old and fat.
