I've been meaning to post for quite some time now, but I have just gotten a little caught up with life in general( Yes I DO have a life outside of the computer). Not to mention it seems as if this thread could use a bit of life. /rp on His head ached, and he didn't know where he was. Forcing his eyes open in the bright lights, he looked around. All he could see was white, blurred white at that he though ruefully. He shook his head in an attempt to make the scene clearer. Supprisingly it helped, albeit just a little. Gingerly he tried moving his arm; he felt the aching drain away as it moved. Slowly he tested each limb assessing his condition. By this time his mind was fully alert and he recognized the room he was in as a medbay. Dimly he thought back on the events of the past few hours putting all of the pieces back together. He remembered the small fight outside the Vulture and cracked a thin smile as he remembered the big merc going down and the sharp pain in his leg. Hofmann sat up and swung himself off of the small bed. Looking around the room once more he spotted his armour. He walked over and began dressing himself in the hardened, form-fitting armour. He had only to put on his helmet when he heard the door open;he spun around and quickly snapped to attention when he saw his visitor. "At ease, marine." Commodore Kyle Antilles said calmly. He continued, "How is the leg, when we brought you in here the meds said that you were lucky that the armour took most of the blast. Still,they decided it was enough to knock you out for a few hours." "Yes, Sir." Hofmann coldly replied. At least that explained his skewerd vision. As the exited the medbay, Hofmann saw the merc he had taken down. He allowed himself another half smile and resumed his position beside Commodore Antilles. Not long after they entered the briefing room, and resumed their places. /rp off ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

BC3K will not run in a pure dos environ to my knowledge. I also run WinME and just about everything inbetween. So far the only problems I had was it not running on Win2k... Course I had a pretty good idea it wouldn't but I wanted to try for the heck of it. As for the crashes: BC3K 2.09 is farily stable, but I've had quite a few crashes in my playing time. I usually just save often, however I was usually able to go for about 2 or 3 game hours between each save. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

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

Dunno either. last i heard from him constantly was right b4 the beta started. Not sure where he is ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

Merry Christmas. Have a great and safe holiday especiually to those up North. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

WB Tac, hope you enjoyed your trip. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

You have to search around a tad to find it ,but it should be labled as "Earth" if my memory serves me right. orbiting was removed or was never there in BC3K. Time Compression isn't there, I think one of the patches removed it. Hope this helps ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

I would advise that you read through this thread. This particular site came up awhile ago, and some of the stuff does seem illegal, but as I said in that thread some is so old i'm not sure about it. http://www.3000ad.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000600.html ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

Ouch mike. hopefully everything gets straitened out. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

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

I'm assuming it will be similar to BC3k when yo beam marines into an enemy base and all heck breaks loose, oly differance is your one of the ppl there.... ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

I would guess your problemis with your processor and ram. While you CAN play, you are running bare min. BC3K does ALOT of processing, and when the AI gets going your framerates are going to drop. I have a PIII450 and I still will get taken down to 5 FPS when alot of AI ships are around. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

Good to see that thepress isn't hostile. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

I'll hazard a guess you are one of the "lurkers." Welcome aboard. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

all in good fun. I can't RP a message to you, but your welcome to compile a list of ALL the planets and moons the respective elements could have come from. Even if you do, I think that a trip to your intel branch should at least tell you where the sender was based.... Unless the intel branch is that slow.... ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"

your are quite correct, no self destruct switch.... /rp on *the object melts as a small acid capsule is released inside* As the object disolves, a faint voice is heard: ....You didn't think me so incompetant as to allow this to fall into your hands, did you?

This is good quote: Last Tidbit On BCM Posted on 2000-12-04 19:25:07 by Mortin Comments: [0] Since I've got some time on my hands let me break down Derek Smart's Soap Box flame. Clearly this guy never even read the FAQ which clearly has an entry for nVidia cards and which states If you have an nVidia video board (a) make sure you are running driver version Detonator 3 v6.47. Leaked drivers are NOT supported. Period ( in the Direct3D section of the desktop Display Properties tabs, disable the feature described as: Adjust Z-Buffer depth to rendering depth if unequal First, he didn't know about this, and didn't inform me until he posted it on his Soap Box. Secondly, this doesn't work, I tried it and the game still crashes - good try though! Umm.. am I the only one who spotted this? The 6.47's are leaked beta drivers. Yet, make sure you're running them. And by the way, they're not supported! Anyway, he cracks me up. This will be the last post I will make on the subject, I have said my peace. He is going to sue me now, and I'll let the litigation take it's course. So be it. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet "You can only love or hate something you truly understand"
