  1. So somehow I've managed to make it so that my command craft is hostile to myself (red on tacops and if I jump out of the thing.) Now this wouldn't really be a problem except...anything that launches from it is also hostile. I *think* it happened when I accidentally hit myself with a mine, but I'm not too sure. What I'd really like to know is how exactly do I fix it? It'd be nice to use my turrets when I have support craft flying around.

  2. For anyone who doesn't already know, DayZ is a zombie apocalypse mod for Arma2 that has massively increased its sales (probably come close to outselling the game itself by now, if it hasn't already). I've been having a blast playing it so far, even though its still in an alpha state and naturally has a lot of bugs due to said alpha state. Anyone else played it yet?

  3. Well according to their forums apparently the following things will most likely happen:

    1 Its going to be F2P which isn't bad in itself

    2 They're using a primary/secondary weapons system, even for heavies (UGH)

    3 Mod support is highly unlikely

    4 They're going to sell fixed loadouts....aka no customizing, a tribes staple

    5 They'll be using a similar buisness model to LoL, they rotate several loudouts for free and you can grind money to buy them/pay cash for them

    6 You get mines or grenades, not both

    7 Its not in stone yet but you might only be allowed to choose between 3 loadouts per mission

    Personally I don't think its sounding too good...The gameplay trailer certainly looked good but I guess that comes with UE3. I guess as long as they get the skiing right it can be alright...but 2 weapons just doesn't sound right on a heavy. I mean getting a mortar and some crappy secondary...I just don't see how it will work. There are also rumors (not confirmed obviously) that you spawn in your loadout which would be really stupid because then there wouldn't be any point to defending a base. The gameplay vid can be found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oevWde_F-yU.

  4. You can try out Tribes 2 which is (now) free. Its a futuristic FPS. It has a steep learning curve and most of the people who have played for 10 years or something, so eh. There is always Galactic Civilizations 2 which is a space 4x game, I forget but its something like $30 for all the expansions+the original.

  5. I have a question for you. It says that UCCE2.0 has a new U.I. Is it somehow different? I cant find any pictures of it and so forth. Is it easier to manage everything?

    The graphics are different. UI is only different in some places, like in the Tactical interface.

    In fact, i find it its harder to manage everything in 2.0 than in the 1.14 version.

    You can't load personnel via Tactical > Crew page into vehicles anymore, but instead by Tactical > Loadout > Craft > Crew or cargo or whatever. I guess it's to reduce the size of the location bar when you want to move a crewmember, but meh. Instead, the bars have been slightly misplaced, thats the only issue.

    A few shortcuts have been taken out. If not taken out, then they have been tampered with.

    There might be something else different with the UI, i can't quite put my finger on it.

    Its a different color. The rest of it you nailed.

  6. So I just went and checked, and Space Force Marines deployment via shuttles in space does still work. Somehow I thought the option was removed, maybe in AWA or SE? Or maybe I'm jsut making it all up.

    It was deployment by NPC ships that was removed. I believe the reason was that they cluttered the game world up because they couldn't RTB.

  7. You deploy space marines via shuttles. I once got a station to drop some space marines when I ejected from my CC while it was cloaked, but I haven't bothered to do it again since. Space marine combat is kinda dull anyways.

  8. I actually had never played tribes until about 2 weeks ago, and at this point I can safely say I'm addicted to it. Hi-Rez studios is going to make a new game, with rumours of release somehwere around Q4 this year. http://www.mmonews.m...he-next-tribes/

    So far there has been a grand total of two screenshots released.

    The offical website with a trailer is http://www.tribesascend.com/ If you pay close attention you can see shazbot etched into the armor at 0:23 and a spinfusor being fired at a generator at 0:32.
