Edit: This is your free answer, next time please check the search function and BC Manual; there is a wealth of information in them if you take a few seconds to look. In fact it will probably be faster than if you wait around for one of us to reply.

Hopefully the FAQ will sove the problem (does 99.1% of the time, rest is probalby user error) Welcome to the forums, Read The Fine Manual, and enjoy the ride.

The PTA turrets have firing arcs and that doesn't mean that you line a ship up in your sights and they shoot. try setting the enemy ship in the upper left corner of the hud or try maneuvering until you see then start firing.

You, sir, have way too much time on your hands. There have to be better things to puzzle over like what are the most lucrative trade routes in the Gammulan quadrant or do enemies detect irridated marines at longer ranges than non-irridated marines on nightime assaults.

I wonder where that starts at. If I wasn't on dialup I might be tempted to try and find out

Of interest is the differance in boxes... here is from gamestop: http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=645338

Does anyone even pay attention to those morons any more? Possibly as stand up comedians.

Interesting, a friend of mine just got the game for Xbox and he hasn't reported any of the problems you are facing. I wonder if this is only PC related?

Gamespy seems to think well of the sim, Congrats on the good showing. I can't wait until it is released

I fear that this is nothing more than show... to bad popups can't be outlawed.

Welcome to the forums.

I think I remember having this problem a long time ago and it seemed linked to either the copyprotection not liking my CD drive or leftover save games not being deleted when the patch installed... If my memory serves me, having savegames that are incompatible with the new version can cause the game not to start; it has been a long time so I could be wrong.

congrats to ya. (I guess this is what you use these special smileys for)

cool... now we see who is still around

ooohh... we get Rancors....

I mean, have UBB give you a link to the topic and post? I never did use that since they said it was implemented. I just did a search for copilot copied the shortcut and pasted it in here. I guess thats what I get for not knowing what UBB can't do. EDIT: it appears that UBB numbers the posts in the thread with the first one as 000000 and going up from there. if you add #00000* to the end of the link to a thread it should take you to the post with whatever that number is.

yep that is prettymuch how it works... so find a nice quiet section of the galaxy, set your fighters to patrol and defend, put your AE off duty and goto bed... get up the next morning and come back on duty and try to fix what Resnig screwed up in the night and reequip the marines with proper rifles instead of the white flags resnig issued.

A few of you older vets might remember some of this stuff but here you guys go: Ancient screenshots of the one and only 3d cockpit in a BC game.... plus a few other things http://ivic.cncdsl.com/wip/ancients.zip and for those who go back this far....

I believe I remember a little from that era...

you can't deploy ODS's

personally I would suggest masking off certain areas like windows or solar panels then duplicate the background as a new layer and apply the lighting effects and levels on the shadow areas of the copy as well as desaturate it... then do about a 50% opacity and soft light blending on it to prevent it from getting muddled.

Ah... hello there... welcome to the forums... *goes back to building new computer*

Some people do not understand that the internet free for all mindset doesn't fly here. Rules can be a good thing. Anyway... it seems to me I remember a line from ESB where the term "laser brain" was used as an insult. Nice choice of name.

interesting...
