Ah, nice to see the site back up ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet External Beta Tester Battlecruiser Millennium "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

Ouch. Well if anyone sees me on ICQ before may, it probably won't be me. Hopefully this is just a random event. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet External Beta Tester Battlecruiser Millennium "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

Desylva: Nice to see you around again Nova: I I think SC wuld have to answer the radar thing. Not sure if I can say anything for or against without breaking the NDA. BTW all you did was post the kbrd commands to zoom in and out as far as I know it has nothingto do with the range of your radar. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet External Beta Tester Battlecruiser Millennium "You can only love or hate something you truly understand" [This message has been edited by Eclipse (edited 03-21-2001).]

dnoyeB!: quote: What Im speaking of is a predetermined number of pauses per minute. Uncontrollable. I dont know how it would work. Thats why I put investigate. I dont like slow play. Nor do I like being able to ignore the values in more time more strategy. Its in there somewhere. The answer is still no, it's called "A Derek Smart simulation" not "A Derek Smart Turn Based Strategy" game. In RL, everyone doesn't fire a volly the pause to assess damage and wait for the enemies turn. The time to plan and examine data is before the battle, and no plan survives contact. Learn which systems are more important and repair them first. If you have to cloak and retreat to get time to think. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet External Beta Tester Battlecruiser Millennium "You can only love or hate something you truly understand" [This message has been edited by Eclipse (edited 03-19-2001).]

This is probably one of the few things I feel safe in answering quote: 1. Mix turn based and realtime. Be nice if within a minute the game would safely pause for 10 or so seconds, giving you a chance to give your orders for repairs, and such. Kind of a mix between real time and turn based for the multiplayer arena. Seems like something worth investigating if it were possible, dont know any games that tried it. No, Think how annoying it would be to have a Sim pause every few seconds just because some one wanted to check his damage status. If you want an idea of how it is, play SW Rebellion/Supremacy with someone that pauses and unpauses the battles to check ship status. Gets old REAL quick. This game is a Simulation, in real life the battle doesn't stop for field repairs. Just like in real life this game shouldn't stop for field repairs. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet External Beta Tester Battlecruiser Millennium "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

I believe that what you are getting is slowdown because of AI processing. If you are running ACM you will get it in a few of the missions, but in Free Flight you should be fine. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet External Beta Tester Battlecruiser Millennium "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

I believe Mike or someone said we are a COMMUNITY, not and instruction book. We will give you tips, but for the most part if it's in the manual, FAQ, or has already been discussed, we'll give you a start on finding it. And Welcome ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet External Beta Tester Battlecruiser Millennium "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

well it's some thing like 100 commies to 40 insurgents, so I'd say there is a big disparity Look through the Fleet FAQ on the fleets sectopn of 3000ad.com it'll give you some good info. Also we aren't the bad guys. *rant* join the Insurgency! *rant off* ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet External Beta Tester Battlecruiser Millennium "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

Well, Sir, if you go by the Fleet DB it would be Aramike and Spectre Fleet. Not sure if that is permanent though ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet External Beta Tester Battlecruiser Millennium "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

It is permisible to RP more than one character. I usually limit my self to my main character and attach subcharacters to him. Each officer and some of my marines have their own personalities, but I use them in a supporting role. Occasionally I'll act out one of them in a main role when Kyle Antilles isn't present. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

If you ask me, Welfare degrades the morale of those on it. It sends a message that makes the recipiants complacent, why look for work if the gov't will provide for you? If I remember correctly private organixations were the ones who would step in and help the needy, not the gov't. Personally I like the W2 plan as it gives those ppl an incentive to get moving. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

I've voted as well. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

Kurt, SC has every reason to act however he wishes since he owns the site. I was out of line posting about the proxy. If I had been thinking at the time, I wouldn't have posted. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

EMD is a very effective tool in BC3K, learn to use it. If you use it properly you won't have to worry about jumping to loose the missiles. Then using retros and AB while you are turning, it makes it prety simple to dodge the enemy PTA for the most part and still hit them with yours. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

I simply use retros and AB to keep away from the PTA while my PTA and IOD creams them. If I feel like it i'll launch my IC's to clean up. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

Welcome everyone. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"
