(I stand corrected this was Wilson during WWI) [FDR's platform for the election was even "he kept us out of war" doesn't sound like a president that was using a popular war for a reelection] since it was 3rd or 4th term anyway. If you think Sadam Hussein was never a threat, ask the Iranians, or perhaps the Kuati's he's threatoned and invaded in the past. Or was he just trying to be a "nice guy" and defend these countries from "American agression?"

10 to 1 odds are no, unless you want to edit the textures yourself (providing they aren't encoded)

Congrats on the score. It's been along time comeing, Derek.

Very annoying. It almost seems childish that a company would do something like this. Too bad it couldn't be something easy like a glitch in the system sending the wrong prices. I think that it goes without saying we are behind you all the way Derek. Good luck

I usually play one or two hours. Depends on work, school, friends, and projects.

I just liked how this one looked.

I just tested this with Gol_Stoan's steps and the FC does appear at earth instead of the moon on egress and RTB.

quote: Originally posted by Cruis.In: you could say something a little better than numbers don't mean jack. numbers can build things fast. Read the second half of my statement since it qualifies the first half. I didn;t say they didn't mean jack for every given situation, just if there is no way to transport them to the area or operations or if the enemy controls the routes to the area of operations. Please don't take snippits of what I post and twist it contrary to my meaning in context.

quote: Originally posted by Cruis.In: yeah nice post. but I believe other countries in the middle east fit your criteria for the invasion of iraq... or most of it. I worry too much, I worry if America spreads itself thin, and they get ousted then who would be the world's police so to speak. last i checked your population didn't smack of big numbers, less than 400 million? what would happen if China and India decided to form an eastern coalition and take over the west? 2 billion people there heh.... never know, anti american sentiment is so high in places that the wrong man gets in power and he could start them down the road to war with a propaganda machine. Numbers don;t mean jack if you don't have the means to transport them to the enemies power base and supply them while they are there. Last time I checked China didn;t have a blue water navy and I don't think they can transport an army with armored support easily by air either,

Yikes. Nothing was damaged in the fighters at all? How about life support?

How about researching all that is available to you and then making a decision? If you just want to be happy all the time, then just watch Fox and listen to Rush and Sean. If you want to learn more about what's going on out there, then listen to all sides. I listen to Sean and Rush and occasionally tune into FOX. I feel that in that way, I am not missing anything. Do you have proof they are lying to you, as far as I can tell that is just a statement of opinion with no proof to back it up. In my estimation I've found that Fox tends not to be as liberal as the other providers and nicely balances out the total trash talk from CNN.

ah, missed your second question up there. No you can't deploy troops from the OC unless your AE is in the vehicle. you CAN deploy teams from a shuttle, though some people have had problems with this method.

Nice post. It would seem that the more the media and democrats have tried to bash bush, something happens that make them conveniently "forget" the issue they were bashing him for and try to belittle the new accomplishment.

quote: Originally posted by dennymala: Try setting up a waypoint for the OC too with the deploy team order...... I think that should do.... except OC's don't have the option in the waypoint orders; or I'm just blind. Would be nice though, I guess I'll just have to keep getting my hands dirty with the Marines

SC, I didn't know you were sending out support videos now quote: IÔÇÖve seen here that others have had issue with deploying marines from shuttle craft. IÔÇÖm having this same issue and wonÔÇÖt boar you with the details. According to these forums SC is working on a patch for latter this month. Great! Other then relying on the transporter I was hoping that in the meantime I could deploy them using the ATV. I canÔÇÖt seem to figure out how to do this and maybe this is related to the same issue. IÔÇÖve prepped 5 marines, sent 1 (pilot) to SC1 and 4 (1 driver, 3 to deploy) to OC1 and made sure they all boarded. SC1 flyÔÇÖs down to the planet and deploys OC1 without any problem. Then I go to TACOPS and zoom to OC1 and left-click on it to bring up the orders menu. I find no option for deploy team. When I click on CREW it only offers me a listing of the 3 marines (4 -1 driver) but no option to deploy them. I've read in some instances people have advised transferring them to an AWAY TEAM but I see no option for that either. Am I missing something? If you canÔÇÖt deploy your marines from the ATV is there any reason for putting them it (other then the 1 driver). Also, if someone could PLEASE offer me a way to reverse the yaw/roll axis. ctrl-J does nothing for me. winXP geforce3 pentium4 1.7GHz 512 MB of RAM MS Sidewinder FF Joystick Your AE needs to be in the shuttle to get the options to transfer crew to the away team, same goes for the shuttle.

I haven't seen too much anime, but I did enjoy Trigun and Escaflowne. Last time I say trigun was a couple of years ago and we stayed up all new years watching the series straight through.

I would hazard a guess about a few of them: Dev Discussions: only certain ppl can post new topics so if that is what you were trying to do, you probably aren't authorized. A51: If you have access to the forum you can post here. Patch news: only Derek and MAYBE one or two others(doubt it) can post topics for probaby ovious reasons Forum Archives: its an archive, not ment for active threads. of coruse Derek will be along in oh say 6 or 7 hours pr prove me wrong on both accounts.

I am not going to commit suicide or anything. Thats a little too dramitic there sir. Haha But Im glad that the developer is concerned for his fans well-being. Unlike the people over at everquest there, but thats a whole other story... And to some people here, your battlecruiser series is not just a game sir. Am I wrong people? Somewhere subconsciously we realize that, now if you will excause me, I need to brief some marines.

Derek, I don't think you have too much to wory about, they are still in 2d and it doesn't sound like they have it set up for individual soldiers yet. Maybe you can get a contract with them?

Wouldn't this have been better done as a PM?

I'm fairly certain you cannot sell active OC or other craft from your CC.
