Whoohoo SC, we try ------------------ Cmdr. Antilles Spectre Fleet Spectre Starstation ICV- Eclipse Chief Security Officer Learning is not compulsory... Neither is survival.

I don't know what SC's gonna say but I'll chance a guess at it 1. no - Bc3k's code was retired, no more patches. THe WIn version isn't supported and Derek made it out of the kindness of his heart. 2. no - why is it needed? 3. no - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. ( or something to that effect) 4. Read the FAQ, it's not a bug. 5. and as friez said, Open GL/D3D if SC decides t respond, I'll be waiting to see how I scored ------------------ Cmdr.

I guess I'll try my hand at this Disclamer: I bear no hard feelings or have any intentions of hurting another Commander. I'm mearly stating my personal views on the situation as well as others posts. personal opinion: Destiny's location is crazy. 1. It's hard to defend. Even in Rattler's scenerio, 10 to 12 times a station changing hands? Yes it would drastically reduce galcom assets. However, GALCOM isn't stupid, it might take one or 2 times, but I'm sure they would notice that the "traders" were acting a tad on the strange side, specially since they just "happened" to be in the area where the fleet was annihilated... each time. Also you would have to take into consideration the toll on Insurgent personnel. I don't think that we have that many ppl that we could just toss them to the wind in a war of attrition with GALCOM. I don't remember the composition of Uranus, but I don't think it's too hospitable, a station in there has to be resupplied somehow. I'm sure that GALCOM could spare enough ships to blockade the system after their initial assaults were stopped cold. Basically then, even though the Insurgents have a station there, Galcom would have a close eye on the system, looking for cracks in the defense or signs that the station was running low on supplies. I like SC's reason for how Destiny got where it is, it is logical. I think that Rattlers purpose for the station there is also logical, but I also think that it is flawed slightly. In the game itself, we could do this with virtually no recuard for station personnel since they technically don't exist, But in the time line we have to think about actual personnel on board the station, I'm sure there will be quite a few there. For that reason, Rattlers suggestion wouldn't work well. Even with a skeleton crew, the station changing hands so many times is likely to turn a few Insurgent heads as to wether or not it's really necesary to knowingly commit personnel to as suicide stand on a regular basis. I think that there should be a stalemate on the region where the station is located with the Insurgency running raids to break GALCOM's blockade on the system, since they know that it is only a matter of time b4 the station falls. This allows for SC's reason for the stations construction, and Rattlers purpose without an appalling casualty figgure that grows regularly. It also allow there to be more pressure on Sol by an Insurgency that has "grown-up" especially fitting in the light of the destruction of Wraith HQ, which shows that GALCOM has been forced to withdraw closer to home. ok, it's late there are probably eros in logic in ther, and I'll be wondering what I was thinking when i re read this in about 12 hours. but thats for one of the problems. 2. the Construction of New America. The Syrians would have had to know about it. However it could have begun life as once again a small front company mining operation that flourished into a small base built into the asteroid. The syrians would be more apt to allow this than an outright military base. Durring this period, the Insurgents are hollowing out hte asteroid and building New America there. I think I remember reading the New America has some kind of cloaking device. in that case maybe all looks like a small mining compound until the cloak was activated. Sure it would alarm them at first when the asteroid suddenly disappeared, but if New America stayed cloaked, I don't think the Syrians could find the base, meanwhile, under the cover of the cloak, the Insurgents outfit the stations defenses and finish construction. With any luck, the Syrians would write off the astreroid as a unexplained occurrance. They would eventually notice that there is a high traffic through the system and find out what happened to the astroid, but with the cloak, station Defenses, and Station Complement. New America could hold out for awhile. though with the Syrians not wanting to get involved in other's wars,they might not attack the station as long as it did not show aggression to Syrian vessels. I would expect a large complement of Syrians in the system at all times to monitor the station. once again ditto from above 3 Velari and Wraith Wraith HQ was over extended and left in an untennable position for a covert ops fleet. as a result of increased gammulan and Insurgent pressure, Rinaal was abandoned after raids became more frequent and reports of Gamm/Insurgent fleets preparing to attack the weakoned station filtered down through the Command. Velari was appropriated and hastilly converted to server as a stop against Insurgent attacks up to and durring the withdrawl form Rinaal. this station now servers as Galcoms advanced outpost and first line of defense agains incursions for Antis and Gammula. I'll post stuff for the others tomorrow if this one doesn't get deleted. ------------------ Cmdr.

The fleets are mostly for BCM and BC: Online as well as for RP. We are getting ready for the advent of MP when fleets will actually partcipate online. I'm not really sure about the second part of your post, but I'll answer it to the best of my ability If you mean organized as in what we are doing, not really. We have the various fleet Starstations scattered throughout the game world, but nothing really "organized" per say. If you are referring to what I mentioned before, yes, we are organized. If face, SC has even given each of the fleets their own forum on this site to help with getting everything together. Hope this helps. ------------------ Cmdr.

I thought he was referring to getting a station down to SOS. oh well ------------------ Cmdr. Antilles Spectre Fleet Spectre Starstation ICV- Eclipse Chief Security Officer Learning is not compulsory... Neither is survival.

well, I was talking with Rattler a bit earlier about Pan, in the corse of the conversation we came to the topic of the Iron Man award he had received some time back. I got to thinking about how he had said that you couldn't take SS's with IC's anymore since SC upped the defenses. Well I gave it a shot and not knowing what exactly to go for I went to the nearest station, Pixan. and after 2 attempts, I was successful, no I didn't cap the station, but I did destroy it using only an intercepter and no missiles. I would have capped it, unfortunately the stations defenders destroyed it in their attempt to get to me. here are the pics of it: http://redrival.com/digitalec/bcpics.zip I must admit it was quite fun, and seems to be a great way to get experiance for IC pilots j/k ------------------ Cmdr.

Generally the Read the Manual posts come because....well... If you had read it throughly the question would have most likely been answered. Even then if your question still hadn't been answered the search function on the forum would most likely bring a slew of topics on what you are looking for. It's not that we are unfriendly or hate newbies, just that the 500th time someone posts a question that has been posted before we get a little tired of continually typing out the answers. If you look at the posts we do answer the questions if the person continues to have difficulty or al least point him to where he can find the answeres. Also, there is fair enough warning that you will be banned or restricted before it actually occurs. If you wish to purchase BC3K version 2.x that is your perogative, however BC: Millinium will be comming out shortly. If you do purchase it a good idea is to read the updated manual several times, search the forum for a topic similar to yours, Read the version control file and FAQ before posting here. ------------------ Cmdr.
