Ok, UCCE keeps crashing randomly for me. One crash is when i was on the bridge, the other one was where i was going to press EXIT on the perscan. Im not sure why its crashing, i got the latest stuff to keep it from crashing. Any help? This has atleast wasted 7 hours of my gametime now.

Id like to retouch on some things RT added to my tips. Shuttles still cant use that Z axis that good in UC either. Ive had problems with it several times, on the free release version, and on UCCE version. You cant really fix everything from the BC series. There will always be bugs Actually, I've tried it before, and my crew gained AI when they were off duty. IDK if its supposed 2 be the other way, but thats how the game treats me. And well, its better to have a lower level of fatigue than a higher one, aint it? And, most of the time, i dont destroy the starbase. I just rip through its shields with a high powered turrets, and then use low power until i can disable the the starbase and capture it. I dont see any point in destroying starbases, even if they do rebuild, i mean, what if theres an artifact in there? Still, I may blow them up for fun xD.. Oh, and i have something to add as well. Make sure when your chasing a target, make sure your to the space in front of them, instead of going AT them. Its called motion tracking. . I quit UC for like almost a year and im getting back into it, so my stuff can be sketchy

Those are some nice tips you got there. I got a few of my own. Assign multiple shuttles to grab cargo pods from space instead of using your CC or just one shuttle. Sometimes shuttles just hover over the pod and not take the cargo, which may need you to get more than 1 getting it. Never shoot at fighters if your in a carrier. You need ALOT of skill to kill fighters efficiently with turrets, so stick to the cruisers/carriers with your turrets. When you get enough money, it would be very wise if you upgrade your ship, especially your shields. Upgrading your hull only delays the inevitable, your internal systems fail just as fast. Maintain all of your fighters, and replace them when they are destroyed. Fighters can cover your ass in desperete situations, especially if you got 10 FCs on your tail. When you go to sleep, leave some miners on a planet surface, so while you sleep, they mine minerals, and you can sell them to a nearby station in the morning for some $$$. And its also to prevent intruders. -Also, make sure you put your entire crew off duty, gives them time to rest and bring their fatigue down and AI up. Before jumping to an enemy starbase, make sure you cloak, or 90% of the time, your ass is gonna get destroyed, if not, severly injured. Jam your radar if there are fighters on your tail, because missiles can rip through your hull faster than you know it. Never join combat if your shields are below 2000. Its an easy way of dieng. Warp or w/e. or cloak if your shields hit 1000. Dont attempt to fly your carrier/cruiser over an enemy base...unless your like me, and can dodge most of the turret fire xD and make low dives and screw up the enemy turrets. Disable Launch control, and put 1-2 marines in each of your shuttles when you have intruders, and make sure FC are guarded. Because those intruders can F up your craft if your not looking.

Good question Quazar. Sho, if you dont already have a server, i can see if i can convince a friend to set-up a server for this occasion.No promises. EDIT: If sho directed the post after this to me, i already knew it was a fleet leaders meeting and just offered help with the server, so i wont contact my friend since no one needs the server.

good work Q. [RP] Insurgent Commander Canshow ICV-Daedalus/Prometheus Previously,Commander Tek ordered Stormhammer out of the system via direct long-range hyperjump, intending to emerge somewhere in the Krynon starsystem. Ashley,"The Stormhammer has entered a long-range hyperjump. Your orders?" Canshow,"Let 'em go. We can't make that jump from our current supplies from both vessels." Security Cameras at shuttle-bay one, had caught Aerov's men smuggling in half of the current ships fuel aboard. Which, would have given them the capability of that long hyperjump. "Set Course for Anits in the Trenis system. We have some things to do.And order the Prometheus the same." "Yes Sir" So jumpgate after wormhole, it took a total of about two hours to get to Anits, both ships had multiple delays and problems with multiple intruders on the way, no one was severly hurt. Ashley,"We've arived at Anits. Your orders?" Canshow stepped onto the bridge. "Request docking permission. After we have docked, both crews will be dismissed." Ashley,"Yes sir."... "Docking Permission granted for both ships." Commander Canshow headed over to head engineer of the station in orbit around Anits. "What can i do for you Commander Canshow?" "Hi. I need you to resupply ICV-Daedalus's mineral bays and supplies as full as they can get.Also, i am in needing to make a few rush orders." "What are they?" Canshow thought for a minute. "I need a rush order for the following equipment.x2 TRELLIS,x2 NUMEGA,x2 LINEAR SPEC IV,x2 TITANIUM LEVEL V. I want ICV-Daedalus fitted with one of each. And i need the ICV-prometheus to be re-built into a Battlecruiser MK.l Heavy carrier, which will also be a rush order." The head engineer went on the computer for a moment and then wrote on a peice of paper. "Ok, we can deliver equipment, it will take a day for it to arrive here. As for the re-building of Prometheus, it will take a week for rush order.But it will cost extra" Canshow only had 650,200,000 credits. He had some good luck fortunatly. "Um..alright. Whats the total of everything?" "Around 350 million. The Rush order will cost an extra 100." "Done." The credits were automatically transfered out of his account. He also sent 85 million credits to the spectre fleet as a sign of support. Canshow took the liberty of picking Prometheus's new crew after the rebuilt. He got his own crew back. In the mean time, Canshow sent a sub-space message to the Insurgent Command. --------------------------------------------------------------- From Commander Canshow To Insurgent Command Subject: Days off. Hello Admirals and Commanders of Insurgent Command. Im sending you this letter to tell you that i will be taking some time off to myself. This may sound like i have a big ego but, i think i did a good job defending Pravis from Earthcom. The ICV-Prometheus will be out of service for one week, but ICV-Daedalus will be on stand by. I am also transfering 85 million credits to the fleet to help. And it would be great if i can have an escort fleet standing by at the Anits Starstation. Thank you, and have a good day, Regards, Commander Canshow. Spectre Fleet. P.S. May i request my rank? ----------------------------------- So, canshow went to rest, and left his com. on, to be there if he was needed. [/RP]

I havent, but i have noticed that the NPC's are really stupid, in most aspects of the game.As basically anything, even my pilots and marines. There should be an option to toggle AI intelligence instead of them using 1% of their brain. You know, i will try that scenario tommarow and see how it runs, and try to survive without using much of a meatshield.

Qua's post is expected to be edited today or tommarow, so disregard his post until its edited, i will use this post for my RP post as soon as quazor has finished the editing.

[rp] ICV-Daedalus/Pravis System. Insurgent Commander Canshow Meanwhile on Pravis's surface... Melissa,"Sir, we are recieving sub-space message." Commander Canshow walked over to Melissa and read the message to himself. "Looks like I have been ordered to assist ICV-Aries.Damage report?" Chief Engineer Dick,"Hull is at 100%. All systems are good to go" "Good. Whats the damage report on ICV-Prometheus?" Dick,"Apparently we patched up the shields just in time. Our engineers have repaired the ship and are ready to go." Commander Canshow Looked at this oppurtunity with two views. Either A.He could engage ECV-Ashdod,who is engaging ICV-Aries, with two operational ships with half their crew complement Or B. Destroy the weakened Stormhammer and disobey orders. Commander Canshow knew there was no time to waste. "Ashley. Tell ICV-Prometheus to engage Stormhammer. It should be strong enough to destroy Stormhammer without severe hull damage.Remind them to activate their cloak, we don't want any more insurgent casualties." Ashley spoke,"Yes Sir."She had sent the sub-space message and it arrived in two minutes, with a responce,"Yes Sir." Commander canshow spoke again,"Also, Melissa, engage ECV-Ashdod. As soon as we get in range, i want to launch all fighter craft and target Ashdod's main engines and power reactor, that way it can neither escape nor make sufficent repairs in-time to reach the nearest station." Melissa,"Yes Sir." --------15 minutes later. Melissa,"We are in hyperspace. ETA-3 minutes until arrival." Commander Canshow stepped on bridge, and looked out the window. He had hoped, that everything will turn out perfectly, of course, without any problems having half his crew on-board. Canshow,"Activate the shields, launch all fighters to attack the Ashdod and her fighters,and fire at will as soon as we are at range of Ashdod. By the look of the sensors, it will take the GCV-Loiusville 5 minutes to reach our strike-position. I want this to be done quick and clean. If Louisville does reach us in the 5 minutes, i am reducing your paychecks by 10%, you got that officers?" All the officers nodded at Commander Canshow. "Good. Hopefully our new ICV-Prometheus commander and the ships old officers can fly." ---------------------- ICV-Prometheus/Pravis Insurgent Newbie Commander Field. ECV-Prometheus had half of ICV-Daedalus's crew complement. But because of security reasons, only the offiers, and system and flight engineers were only allowed out of the Prison. Commander Aerov and his crew had been sent to an Insurgent Prison camp on Pravis's surface. Nav. Computer simply stated,"Exiting out of hyperspace" Commander Field,"Good..good. Engage ECV-Stormhammer cloaked." Nav Officer,"We are on Stormhammers starboard, and only 23.2m away. Orders?" Field had thought carefully about his next action. "Get close to Stormhammer, i mean so close we are 5m away from Stormhammer rear.Then fire all weapons." Nav and combat officers,"Yes sir." "Jimmy, send 15 marines aboard ECV-Stormhammer. Try putting them close to the bridge. I want all the ships officers dead, especially the commander. Then get them out of there, i dont care how you do it, just do it." Combat officer Jimmy,"Yes sir." Field,on his own amusement, decided to launch 20 STS-Missiles at the Stormhammer. "Missiles Launched." --------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile on the Daedalus... "Exiting out of hyperspace", said the Nav. Computer. "21m from Ashdod. Melissa you fool, you jumped too close."said Canshow. The crew still had its orders from Canshow. They immedietly started to fire everything they had at the Ashdod's rear. "Missiles launched." "FC 1 and 2 are firing upon Ashdod. 3 and 4 are keeping out for any FC that may come." "Good,"spoke canshow, "I hope this works." [/rp]]

[rp on] Nav. computer, "Entering Pravis system." One dot blinks in front of Ashley, the navigation officer. "Sir,"spoke Ashley,"We we are picking up one hostile ship in the system. It appears to be the ECV Stormhammer, we are exactly 57.2m from the ECV Stormhammer.A cloaked ship has entered the system, right behind the Stormhammer if i am not correct" "Shields to 100% and bring weapons online. Prepare the fighter craft.",said Commander Canshow."I want fighters one and two to engage the cloaked ship, and the other two help assist us to take out the Stormhammer." Ashley,"Yes sir." She nods her head at the combat officer and he starts speaking in the speakerphone system. Communications officer Melissa,"The cloaked ship is hailing us, opening an ecrypted channel." "This is Commander Aerov . Do not engage Stormhammer. Their survival is frugal to us. I repeat, stand down or we will open fire.This is a warning" Combat Officer Derek,"Sir, the cloaked ship is opening fire on our starboard. Shields are draining from that section, returning fire, and directing power into the shields." Commander Alex, breathed a heavy sigh. He stepped on the bridge and watched the cloaked ship fire upon his vessel. "Engage evasive maneuvers. I want fighters 1-4 to engage the enemy fighters being launched. We cannot lose this battle." said Commander Canshow. Two hours ago in the Rinaal system, the ICV-Daedalus was engaged by four Starfighters, it was an unsuspected ambush, they knew tthe ICV-Daedalus was coming.The Daedalus was able to fight off the hostiles, but her shields were damaged in the fight and dropped below 60%, the ship had every standard upgrade that station parts had to offer. The shields remained at 63% when she jumped to the Pravis system. It was a move Commander Canshow had regretted, and knew would put the Daedalus's crew in danger along with herself. Tactical Officer Doom,"Cloaking system is damaged sir, we cannot activate the cloak, meanwhile, all the turrets are working properly." "Launch all the STS Missiles." spoke Commander Canshow Derek,"Yes sir. Opening missile bays. Launching missiles now." 11/20 STS missiles had hit the cloaked ship, Derek had fired randomly at the location the ship was firing from, and it was the right move. The now uncloaked ship had its shields lowered to 45%, but was unable to reveal any other identification. "Haha, those suckers are gonna--- Suddenly, 20 missiles hit the Daedalus at its rear with perfect precision,at that point, it almost knocked out the sublight engines that were designed to go 11,000 miles an hour for a much smaller ship, but had the maximum speed of 1000M, when overloaded, and left the Daedalus with 27% shields. "Derek, get 25 of your best marines onboard that ship. Lets see if we can overtake it before our shields are completely vaporized." Derek Nodded and spoke into the speaker system. Within a few minutes, 25 marines were teleported into the unidentified ship, trying to fight for its control. "Receiving hail from the unidentified ship."spoke Melissa. "This is Commander Aerov. I surrender. I repeat, i surrender. The ship is yours, order your marines to cease fire and we will leave in shuttles with food and supplies. "Take the ship, put the crew in temporary confindment and erase some of their memories, leaving them loyal to me. Beam the rest onto the surface of Pravis, away from any civilization.Once you gain the ship schematics when our 5 flight and system engineers beam in.It appears the Stormhammer has been silent through all of this mess.Their commander is a fool, along with idiotic tactics."said Commander Canshow. Ten minutes had passed. ... A voice came from the Com. System,"Sir, we have gained control to the ship and broken through the security codes. The ship appears to be a Super Cruiser. It appears to be in ok Condition, we have brainwashed some of the crew and beamed the rest onto the surface as you requested. Please meet us at these coordinates on the planet surface for repairs and extensive survey." The coordinates were displaced on the Nav Screen as soon as the other ship had pressed the magic button. Nav. Officer,"We're heading toward those coordinates the Marine had given us. ETA 15 minutes." With a bright grin Commander Canshow spoke,"Alright, repair our cloaking system and head towards Pravis's surface.We have a long day ahead of us." [RP OFF] . I haven't RP'd in a while, so excuse me if some of this does suck .

Happy birthday! I hope you get what you wanted.

I smell a re-fund.

Ok dude, look in the game appendix. I don't use super carriers due to the fact that they have low shields and are really vulnerable to attack at any time, and its a target for intruders. Use a heavy carrier. It can use all the artifacts, correct me if im wrong. Never use the supercarrier. Because you will die easily in it. Especially the fact that you do not start with alot of money. Its low shield will mean it will get breached alot and hull damage. You cant afford to lose any crew, especially soldiers in the begining, and repairing your FC's and carrier. Although it has a big hull, it wont mean it will protect you more, it just keeps you alive a little longer, even with a few artifacts installed. My advice do not use the supercarrier unless you REALLY know what your doing, and have a set of fail-safes incase you get to the point of hull damage. Heavy carrier would be the best since it has average shield points and can use all the upgrades and artifacts that the super carrier could not. Super carriers are supposed to be for sniping with your FC. Also, it would be best to send out 2 FC's when your attacking a carrier or a supercruiser. One can do the job, but it is possible it will get damaged that it cannot move or the pilot will be dead. SC, im wondering, why cant the co-pilot fly the FC if the pilot is dead? Hope this helps you blade-lord. P.S, i think the Missile is compatible and the Orb as well. IDK, send me a msg if u want to know.

I dont know, use your imagination while you still have it. Im 13 and i lost it already. Due to the really single player mode intensity.... Explorer...Go to other systems, buy stuff from stations and sell it, i dont know, go visit planets and RP or something. Scientist...Well..Im not sure, i think SC can give you a few ideas on that. But i find that using transports can get boring very quickly, which is why i can recommend using a carrier for fighters, oc, shuttle, and first person missions... One thing ive never figured out was how to use naval units....was it just there for the computer or did it have a better purpose..

I usually am an Insurgent. I just go around and shoot everyone. Friendly or not. I dont really care about fleet control since its useless and my rank since being payed doesnt help me much. As an insurgent, i go around, nuking bases, shooting them, turreting them, then i go get repairs and then blue up that station. All i do is shoot around killing people, it gets amusin sometimes but then it just gets boring and i stop playing, nothing much to RP to since it doesnt get exciting, not to mention no one does multiplayer, which is kind of why i bought UCCE. Also, as any race, when im attacked by fighters in the rear of my ship, i just go out in space with my gun and fly toward the fighters. I kill them in a matter of seconds with my little laser gun...It kinda sucks they dont shoot at you...I dont do ground missions at all actually. Ivve been trying to get better but i cant, infantry combat stinks. I cant keep a straight aim, i die instantly which is in like 5 seconds after i get shot at, and the fact that the graphics are unreliable when im trying to view the enemy. I tried doing an terran commercial flighter but it didnt work out, it wasnt my taste and it was boring...

The hell? My system does run! I uninstalled McAfee a long time ago, i dont even know if windows defender is ever on and i just installed trojan hunter and avast. And i hope you noticed SC but NAV doesnt really do anything. Its probably the worst protection system out there, it cant even block tracking cookies, let alone a trojan. And SC dont critizize me for what i use or what i do in the first place. That trojan was adware, so i bet i didnt even download it, it probabaly attached to one of my hp downloads. And how would u know if it slows my system down? The only thing that would is McAfee, and we both know, that is just a waste of money, my mother installed NAV and McAfee. Try getting Trend Micro, i hear good things

Styles you can also try playing as a cruiser oR Carrier. That way you wont die so fast. They have plenty of marines and only a few of them die at a time to intruders. And intruders get in your ship if there are other ships in the area, from blue and red ships. So basically just dock and wait a few days to marines to xp and same with your officers. Especially your combat officer. If you buy a manual especially from UCCE you;ll see the benefits.

I use -Windows defender -Windows firewall -Norton anti-virus -McAfee -Trojan hunter -avast And i just found a trojan and cleaned it with Trojan Hunter Thanks for the Protection Cruis

They did some server changes to make the game go faster so maybe it could work out for you.
