You could ask and try to send the saved game to Derek. But he's very busy right now so i'm not sure if he has time.

Yeah its a pretty good game. I beat it Using cheats is the only way your gonna beat the game, otherwise, it will take you too long to finish squat.

Hmm. Wrong type of game, I think. :-) Or is it castes? I'm bad with names.

Its just that the game infastructure wasn't built to handle and support this kind of mod, and the gameplay it creates. Its more possible to do this type of mod on AAW, but the problem still persists; need coders who would willingly do this that know how to code the game

While i like this idea, there are alot of problems. 1) UCCE's planet engine cannot handle the sheer amount of zombies and such events occuring at the same time, especially if there are a lot of zombies and interaction happening in one zone. 2) Someone would need to make the models and textures --a) The models would have to be something like 8 pixel models so that the lag wouldn't start to build up. But terrible graphics of zombies would probably ruin the experience. 3) You would need SC himself to make this mod for you. Only he (and maybe his team) know how everything runs and there would be a sheer amount of coding involved in order to make a mod that resembles a zombie game in any way. 4) Whois going to play the mod? Sure, there may be a bunch of people who play UCCE, but there only exists a small community who access the forums and the recent news. So much work for 1, two hundred people maybe? 5) There is too much space between zones and regions for any kind of fortresses and etc. Even if you were to crunch up the planet, the citizes are probably the size of 1-3 supercarriers. Just my input.

Welcome to the game and the forums jb! You'll find that you can get too deep into the game sometimes and won't get up to even go to the bathroom...hehe. To answer your questions like ppl before me have, 1) Time can't be sped up. However, if your repairs aren't critical, you can always start the repairs in the space station and then undock, leaving them to finished (thats of course if you have systems engineers) while your in space. That way you have the parts already replaced, and just need them to be fixed. Saves time and cash. 2) Universal Combat is a sandbox space sim for the most part (although you can be a marine and use land vehicles). It's basically up to your imagination what you wan't to do. Some people like start out small and some others like to move up to cruisers and carriers (like me ) If you wan't to be given a role, I'd recommend doing some of the ACM missions. (Some of the missions can be extremely difficult, especially the marine careers) So its just up to you. Although, i recommend doing it in a carrier or cruiser. You can control multiple assets and have goodies to use 3) Nope. The number of chastes is always the same. I do wish there was some way to customize that portion of the game >< Also, if you want to find more tips and etc, i'd recommend you browse through the forums. I've spent hours browsing thorugh the UC forums, and have found some interesting stuff.

Straighten out your uniforms, shine those shoes, AND GET IN ATTENTION!

First off, put your system specs in your signature if your going to be asking for help in the Tech support forum. Second, make sure ALL drivers are up-to-date. You could also try running UCCE2 in compatibility mode for Vista or something like that. I'm afraid there are a few things that will make your game crash. Going to commlink (or was it mission?) will make your game crash, shift+h will also make your game crash. Thats for me anyways. There might be other key combos that will crash it.

It's Space's birthday today! How could you say such blasphemy?

Apparently i have had an account there since January '08. So i guess it's been free since then maybe?Its also a good game. Just needs more players.

Hopefully it's good. Nightfire was my favorite game. Goldeneye was about entirely multiplayer from what i can remember (WHICH SUCKED) Lets hope this turns out better than nightfire.

3 people? This feels a little empty... WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

present.

It's a shame all the PMs were deleted...

WTF is wrong with my pic? I yam who I yam and that's all that I yam. Looking like Jesus doesn't mean theres something wrong with your pic. Embrace it. Live it. Go to sleep.

Well, the thing is, artifact spawn is random, and your lucky if you ever do find artifacts to buy. It takes time for those artifacts to get to stations by transports. If your even more lucky, you could find one in the cargo pod of a destroyed trade ship. Artifacts are mainly found in starstations, so i suggest you look in ALL of the starstations. If you want to edit the game, your going to have to active the cheat mode. But BEWARE! Cheat mode is for weenies! Click this if your a weenie But again, this game is built off of patience, so that is a virtue you must strive to learn. I always found the artifacts started spawning after 3-4 game days. Never in the same place. Good luck if you're an indie and the artifact you want is on an enemy starstation. Then you'll need to capture the station without a cloak. If you don't have a cloak, it will be nearly impossible to capture the station. Best you can do is offer the station some targets to shoot at while you enter range and get inside the stations blind zones.

I have confidence that Jesu-*cough cough* Shingen will be able to RP the rest of it.

Yes, but it is still has issues which need to be fixed, imo. Like the ODS not-firing issue, scroll menu lag and misplacement, and like where hyperspace graphics are messed up sometimes.

Heh, i wouldn't say that teknocack. I still make small mistakes in almost half my posts and sound like a noob sometimes when SC is involved. But yes, game knowledge is pretty much sound, except in 2.0, which feels uncompleted to me. Anyways, hope my post helped you Dazo

Welcome Back stranger Woot! We'll have those pesky Prime fleeters in our brigs soon enough!

I think some topics are deleted and ETC, which is why your post count may be low. I had over 300 posts, now im at 281ish

The icons are there and they work just fine. You need to click on the Yellow smiley face icon for them to appear to the right of the editor. The other two things you mentioned have nothing to do with the board upgrade and there is nothing we can do about them. I don't seem to be finding that option to make the forum show older topics... where is it? Ok, click on a forum. See the dark blue bar that shows the forums name? There should be a second dark blue bar at the end (bottom) of the forum, and it should say "Click here to show filter option". So just click that. and you'll have your settings. I almost missed it myself :/ @SC - Yeah, i know i have to click the smiley face. But what im saying, is that the box won't show as a pop-up anymore so now it cant be maximized and has to be tinkered with using 2 scroll bars.

Ah, i thought i was having a stroke. Looks great Other that that, the emoticons box won't pop out anymore and the 'recently added topics' portion needs a bigger text for the date that it shows.. Also, the option for showing topics older than "x" should be a little more obvious than just clicking that small filter options text.

I've held one of those.. ...Gameboys But not this new piece of heaven.
