  1. quote:Originally posted by Most: quote:Originally posted by Charles Lindsey: quote:Define 'vet' for the BC seriesDerek has hollered at you at least three times. (Oh yeah, I've been hollered at plenty of times, last week actually I think) You are still here. (:waves: And your never getting rid of me) You know what an airlock is. (When I was a noob I just lived in one all the time) You know where they are. (Of course!) One has your name on it. (Like I said, one was my place of residence) You know what a workaround is. (Naturally) You know why Resnig is hated. (Isn't it obvious?) You know the difference between a feature and a bug. (More often than not) You can fly from Earth to Polaris without Navitron. (Never really tried) You remember the forum before this one. (Definetly) You remember the "Name Your Ship!" thread. (Oh yeah) You are still using that ship name. (I sure am, check teh sig) You registered last century. (I did) That's all I can think of for now. Woohoo...i guess i'm a vet now. Its just good to see the forums alive and kicking with new questions and new problems that remind me of when i first picked up BCMG. And i think SC only got mad at me once...yeah and Eclipse edited my post once. But i made it...i'm one of the few. I remember asking the community at large once when I wouldn't be considered a newbie anymore. They said if I had to ask if I was still a newbie than I was one. They were right. :-)
  2. I'm hoping your kidding. If you are, I'm laughing with you. If your not, I'm laughing at you. :-)
  3. We need more details than this please. How are we supposed to test this?
  4. Or you can give it orders, go to the "TOW" menu and there will be an option that says "NOTHNIG (Disable)" and that'll make it stop towing too.
  5. Most of them are alright. I see a lot of them making the same mistakes I made when I was a noob. I think that it's only by the grace of God that when I was a noob I didn't catch the SC on a bad day because lemme tell you, I'm sure there were countless times that he could/would/maybe even should have banned me. :-)
  6. quote:Originally posted by Grizzle: Are you sure that was a vacpak you were "huffing" (lol!) ROFL! No lie!
  7. Isn't it legal to make one copy of each of your games for backup purposes though? What would they be sued for?
  8. Allow me to be the first to nitpick your post. :-) quote:Orange nebulae background is too much, I want to feel like I am flying over around earth in the far future, but I don't, it is too different. At least put a static earth moon in the background.The orange nebula sure as hell beats empty black space IMHO and in the opinion of most others I imagine. It wouldn't make much sense to insert a static earth moon either considering that you can already go to the moon via a jumpgate in the system and jumpgates take you far away, exc, exc. quote:Let us name any primary asset craft, not just when we are a commander. If I am going to be a rougue marine tooling around Mars, I want to have a bad@ss name for my tank. There would really be no point to this. It would be waste of time to implement as it would really add nothing at all to the game. quote: Flying without the hyperdrive is too slow. Am I reading the speed correctly? My superfighter is only going 719 Meters Per Hour?? That's pretty slow and makes it so you must hyperdrive everywhere. 719 meters per second in the figter, not per hour. Furthermore, try flying somewhere without the hyperdrive and see which you would prefer. The hyperdrive works as designed because it takes away from the game to be able to activate the hyperdrive and instantly arrive at your destination. quote:When using the [Fly To] to a jump-gate, please get me closer. I like flying manually thru them, but it takes too much time to get from the fly to point to the gate...and I do not like advancing time, feels like cheating. Making it so you could jump quicker would enable it to be easier for you to make a quick getaway when you start to lose a fight. I like the distance because if you are performing a "tactical withdraw" it makes things a lot more tense considering the distance you have to fly. quote:I don't understand why in frictionless space that my space craft slows down. And slows down dramaticly when I so much as turn a little.You don't even want to get into that debate, I promise. Other than that, I liked your post. :grins:
  9. Are you kidding me? If you've two options to choose from....and one gives you an error....which one do you think was the right way?
  10. The desktop directory is USUALLY located in the following path. C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGSUSER NAMEDESKTOP Where USER NAME is the name you login your system with (assuming your using WIN XP OR WIN2K)
  11. Boot into safe mode and try to delete it then.
  12. The multi-colored cloud of gas is there so you don't stare at single-colored empty space the entire game. :-) Furthermore, IRL, space is not all black there are different colors up there...
  13. quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: Its nothing to do with sound. The short delay occurs when a batch of objects are created all at once. If you defrag your HDD, add more memory etc, it will be minimized. It is more noticeable on planets because there is a lot more processing going on and because when an npc person (e.g. marine) is loaded, it loads the base model, textures and ALL of its animations. Thats what causes the pause. Nothing I can do about it. The /preload option is designed to alleviate that somewhat, but it won't do any good if you don't have enough base memory to hold all the models etc because once a model that is not in the /preload cache is needed, its going to flush something to make space. It'll cause a pause again. What part of the SCs post is unclear?
  14. We simply like our posts in the proper forum. For the record, that was most definetly NOT an SC rant. And even if it had been an SC rant, it's his board, he can rant if he wants to. Nothing personal, but I'm betting your not gonna last long here on these forums.
  15. We welcome eagerness but it's really vital or to have factual information when reporting something because if you do not the post just takes up space. See this thread as an example. :grins: My advice to you, when you get home and fire up UC make sure you have a pad and pencil close by and write down step by step what you do to make this happen. If it is reproducible we will definetly investigate it.
  16. I am an IS Specialist at the #3 engineering firm in the world. I live in West Palm Beach, Florida I turned 20 on January 31st. I am not married however I have a girlfriend of two months (you gotta start somewhere). I have no kids. I went into the ROTC for one year for the USAF and decided it wasn't for me.
  17. First, I do not beleive you can access the Super Carrier class as a TERRAN commander. The S-Carrier class is for the Gammulan Military race/caste only and the only thing in that group is the Stormcarrier. Furthermore, "the green one" won't even come close to being in the near vicinity of helpful to anyone in researching this report. So, please, go back in the game, find out the specific name of the "Green One" and try your report again. Thanks!
  18. See, SC, some people are worse than me!
  19. Picaso, we appreciate your trying to help. But the reason we have the "SYSTEM PROFILE" button is a requirement in everyons signatures (which you don't by the way) is so we don't have to ask questions like "what video card do you have" and "what sound card driver version are you using" If you look in KOPCAP's signature and click on "SYSTEM PROFILE INFO" all those questions you'll be answered. Also, you need to get that info in your own sig ASAP.
  20. SC, those keys still work as they always have for me (i.e. pitching/yawing the ship). Not sure what TopSpeed is experiencing and I haven't been able to reproduce it.
  21. Confirm your video card meets min reqs. Update drivers, exc, exc.
