IceCold Posted September 30, 2001 Report Posted September 30, 2001 Involving an animate ship (i.e. merchant with an artifact) how does one retrieve the cargo within that vessel without destroying it? The collect option for shuttles does not work, the error message states, "Target is not a cargo pod," regardless of how many personnel are onboard the shuttle. How do you retrieve cargo from intact vessels?Ice Cold
Epsilon 5 Posted September 30, 2001 Report Posted September 30, 2001 How many time this has been asked before...?Use the search function.
Soback Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 Come on E5, let's start being nicer. Try to do it from Tacops, launch a shuttle and go through all the commands of retrieving cargo. Can't tell you exactly what commands they are (haven't played in a while, waiting for BCM) but if going through Tacops doesn't work then click on the "search" button in the top right corner and search legacy forum for something like "retrieving cargo" or "mugging a ship" try that and see what you find.
Epsilon 5 Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 Get someone in a shuttle Target a vessel Press v for cargo manifest Use main menu/current target/SC# collect cargo or something if there's somethingThat's it.
Rico Jansen Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 Hold on guys, safe yourself some time by asking if his intro video ended properly. (IceCold???)
IceCold Posted October 1, 2001 Author Report Posted October 1, 2001 Ice cold seemed relevant because I am a 13 year veteran of the Alaskan wilderness. Anyway, I believe the Battlecruiser series is an excellent line of fine titles and promising projects that has a remarkably loyal fan base. You all have converted me, I pre-ordered in May and I am awaiting my sealed box with much anticipation. Thank you for your quick responses and suggestions.Ice Cold
IceCold Posted October 1, 2001 Author Report Posted October 1, 2001 In response to your question, Epsilon 5, I have not attempted to get the intro video to work. Since I installed the game, it has defaulted to a debug mode (learned from previous post). I may have to try and get it working now...Ice Cold
Rico Jansen Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 Actually, that was me asking. And for the perfect reason, I see. You can't steal someone's cargo if you have Fleet Command & Control, which is hardwired when you have debug mode enabled. But you can deactivate it if you fix the corrupted intro movie (wrong size failed the cdrom check). The patch for that is on the download site where you got the game from.Oh boy, I think we have a new Newby Classic Question for the list.[ 09-30-2001: Message edited by: Rico Jansen ]
