Manglor Posted January 23, 2002 Report Posted January 23, 2002 Just wanted to say Hi. Total BC newb here. I've heard all the stories surrounding this franchise, good and bad, and thought it was time I bought the game and made my own judgements. What I have see so far.... I have what I consider a high-end system with WinXP Pro. I installed the game, downloaded and installed the latest patch and then turned my computer off, sat down with the manual and read it that night. Next day, printed out and read the tutorial and appendix. When I finally ran the game... not one problem, not one bug, not one issue. Ran totally clean for me. This was, to be honest, a bit of a surprise. Not that I thought I'd find bugs right off the bat, but due to what I have read on the web, in the mags, etc... So, I am still trying to learn the interface. Not too much of a problem as everything I have had questions on, I was able to find answers for in the book or appendix. Overall: Looking good so far. Need to get alot more time with it to fully experience all it has to offer.

Eclipse Posted January 25, 2002 Report Posted January 25, 2002 Sheesh can't all ya'll vultures lay off the poor fellow until he's at least stated he is interested in a fleet. Your gonna end up scaring him off.
CommanderJohnson Posted January 25, 2002 Report Posted January 25, 2002 Read the races Appendix. Note the Gammulan Tech Level compared to all other races. Now you know which fleet to join...
Manglor Posted January 25, 2002 Author Report Posted January 25, 2002 Wheeeeee I feel so loved! hahaha Now, I have read the Fleet FAQ and I understand their roles in the upcoming MP patch. (that's a no-brainer) But what are you doing in the time between now and then? It's not like you can actually practice any fleet manuevers as a unit or such. Tell me what fleet life is all about!
Cmdr Jeffery Eu Posted January 25, 2002 Report Posted January 25, 2002 Fleet??? Pah!!!Join Intercorp instead.Back off you vultures!!!! You have all the sitting ducks you need re: Oban's post.

Manglor Posted January 25, 2002 Author Report Posted January 25, 2002 haha it does kinda feel like feeding time at the local carrion heap.
Guest Remo Williams Posted January 25, 2002 Report Posted January 25, 2002 LOL! Welcome Manglor, If you carry a big stick and keep moving they'll stop circling after awhile.
Eclipse Posted January 25, 2002 Report Posted January 25, 2002 Until the advent of MP, fleets are primarily RP elements. after MP comes... those RP battles get a new twist.
Tyrn Posted January 25, 2002 Report Posted January 25, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Eclipse: Until the advent of MP, fleets are primarily RP elements. after MP comes... those RP battles get a new twist. Wraith is putting a slight twist on that. Orders have been issued to each wing and wing members carry out their individual orders (or will as things progress to that point). The progress of the campaign is then reported back to the fleet via our private forum. It makes for slow going but moves the RP into the game as much as possible until MP arives.
