Eclipse

Scriv... Thief looks pretty good with the bells and whistles turned on... IIRC your card doesn't support any of teh DX9 stuff to get it looking pretty. Not sure what your framerate problem is though it could be vid card linked, I'm running a constant 30 to 40 FPS with nearly everything turned up to max on a 9600pro.

good to hear... one of the best things from the first two was deciding to use a water arrow on a torch or wait and try to sneak past to save the arrow for later.

I've been playing the demo to see how it ran before I picked it up, I'm pretty happy it can run 1024x768 with everything except bloom and vsync on. I do get a slowdown every now and again but nothing too bad. As for actual gameplay I'm enjoying that too, though the demo seems to really load you up on equipment before each mission.

oooohhh Please do this, this would be incredable

sounds intersting, but I hate to rain on the party. this is going to be VERY complicated to organize. The intel missions are going to be well nigh impossible since noone actualy flys around in unarmed transports in MP. I think it should be their choice of race caste and ship to make it more difficult to pick out the odd player running around in the unarmed transport.

Sorry, I think I need to hit the sack... I thought you wanted to RP the base defense in MP. My mistake.

If you want to cry about the windows key, I'd like to submit a complaint about that dreadful combination called "alt+tab" it is simply atrocious, I mean nearly every game I play is incompatible with it. I think we should remove it. /me stops off to find a screwdriver to pry off the alt and tab keys and then take a nap. Sleep deprivation can do very weird things to ones cognitive abilities...

Usually Chavik, me, and Sho.

If everyone is playing tonight, we might be able to do something

BattleCrack does have an interesting ring to it.

Welcome to the Insurgency. Remember though that Gammies come before Galcommies.

This sounds like a wishlist item...

unless the screenshots and gameplay videos are lying, I'd hate to see what that guy thinks are GOOD graphics.

LOL I was quite alright. The police cruiser withered under my IOD barrage and Sho's PTA. It did seem that alot of NPC's were going for me there at the end... musta had something to do with the 10% hull/armor /me goes off muttering about stupid flux fields.

Shouldn't this be in the legacy forum? Welcome to the boards. EDIT: moved

Congrats.

Ok I tried it Papi's way: that brought up the ingame browser to connect to a server. so that way works. I tried again with the steps I posted above and it is still working over here.

Papi did you restart Xfire after editing the ini?

Ok i looked into this and got it launching correctly: 1. search your computer for the file "ua_plugin.ini" (should be in theXfire main directory) 2. open the file 3. search for "universal" or scrolls down till you find "Universal Combat Multiplayer" 4. find the line called "LauncherNetworkArgs" in the UCMP section 5. add "+connect " to the start of the line it should look like this when you are done: code: LauncherNetworkArgs="+connect %UA_GAME_HOST_NAME%:%UA_GAME_HOST_PORT% %UA_LAUNCHER_PASSWORD_ARGS%" 6. save the file you should be able to properly launch UCMP from Xfire. I tried this out with Chavik last night and it worked. Hope this helps. As a side, Xfire was launching the proper exe, just didn't have the proper connect instructions.

I played through this a month or so ago, not bad. pretty impressive for the file size actually.

no you cannot interchange various fighters with others. and no to your second question. Not all carriers have the same loadouts so you can look around until you find one that has the craft you want.

UC, though there are some changes in game dynamics.
