SpotSD Posted July 10, 2001 Report Posted July 10, 2001 Hi, new commander checking in. I have a question about BCM, what is the point of first person mode in space? besides the fact that it's totally cool and ads realism to the game. What can you do? can you lay mines on another ships hull? and what happens if you try to enter the atmosphere of a planet in FP? Also will there be first person mode in stations in BCM or is that just GCO?(Edit) In BC3k is there any easy way to locate starbases that I don't know about? because I've had a heck of a time referring to the manual for the cordinance (spelling) and that only gives me the general area.[ 07-10-2001: Message edited by: SpotSD ]
Eclipse Posted July 10, 2001 Report Posted July 10, 2001 Welcome.I find the space FP helpful if I'm dead in the water and can't access any of my ships systems. Of course in the finished game it could be for those who have a death wish...
Wolferz Posted July 10, 2001 Report Posted July 10, 2001 FP combat in space?Imagine cruising over to your friendly neighborhood enemy space station with your jet pack, then boarding the station and planting the proverbial flag. Of course the enemy space marines may have other plans for you.Another oxymoron for you: Friendly fire. Which isn't.
Spuzzum Posted July 10, 2001 Report Posted July 10, 2001 Anyone check out the potential usefulness of the Sabre Space Assault Rifle? If you fly into space and use that thing against enemy fighters, they'd better watch out. Not to mention that you're such a small target its unlikely that anything they send your way will hit you. (But, if it does hit you, game over. )Are marines targetable for missiles? If so, does that make sense? If they are targetable that way, they'd be just about useless... but otherwise, they'd be nasty little gnats.
Wold Posted July 11, 2001 Report Posted July 11, 2001 Welcome aboard SpotSD! Point of FP mode in space? For Derek to know and you to find out.... Me guess, keep searching and the point shall be revealed in the future! NDA, NDA, NDA...... now what again was that acronym for????????
SpotSD Posted July 11, 2001 Author Report Posted July 11, 2001 quote:Welcome aboard SpotSD! Thank you I can't "keep searching" because my computer was asembled sometime around the stoneage (hoping to get a new one this summer) so I can't run the BCM demo. All I can do is ask questions
Epsilon 5 Posted July 11, 2001 Report Posted July 11, 2001 Boardng a station with a SF marine? POUHAHAHA! I can't even catch it on its rotation! Jet packs aren't very fast. It's fun to walk on your ship, but else...[ 07-11-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]
SpotSD Posted July 11, 2001 Author Report Posted July 11, 2001 Really Epsilon 5? I was hoping they would have some kind of star trekie magnetic boots Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.Oh by the way can you exit your craft while docked and walk around in the station??
