Põdi Posted August 6, 2001 Report Posted August 6, 2001 When I finally get my sweaty paws on BCM, I'm gonna have to decide where my loyalties will lie. Not being renowned for towing the line, I've decided to go it alone, but as what? Mertc, assassin, raider? And which race, I quite fancy being a Droidian myself, is that possible? I like the idea of being an assassin, but do I have to register with anyone? Seems a little straange to announce myself as such, but there you go. So, what next?
PJFarland Posted August 6, 2001 Report Posted August 6, 2001 You'll have to register in the fleets database once you decide on what Race/caste/name of your ship (if you have one)/and base. One thing I don't know is how you get to decide your ship. In an actual fleet it's given to you but with the Indies who knows? Any answers anyone? I for one want a Garid.

I for one want a Garid.Read the UCVs and fleets thread. It was just discussed there. Best to contact aramike about your registration and asset type.I for one chose my ship myself (LRT-15), but then, as a trader you do not have a lot of choice, so nobody objected . Nevertheless, my asset type is not listed in the fleet database (aramike?, he humbly said...)[ 08-06-2001: Message edited by: Riga ]

Põdi Posted August 6, 2001 Author Report Posted August 6, 2001 Ok, already sent my application. Decided to go as a Terran cos I couldn't think of a Droidian name. Got a cool ship name though: Cuthulain, he is a hero in Irish celtic mythology.See you out there guys.
Põdi Posted August 7, 2001 Author Report Posted August 7, 2001 How long before my application gets yayed or nayed?APPROVED[ 08-07-2001: Message edited by: aramike ]
aramike Posted August 7, 2001 Report Posted August 7, 2001 Dangit, man, give me some time to actually check it out. I'm not checking that thing 24 hours a day, you know.
Põdi Posted August 7, 2001 Author Report Posted August 7, 2001 sorry aramike, I didn't mean to hassle you, i was just curious.Do I update my sig now?
PJFarland Posted August 7, 2001 Report Posted August 7, 2001 aramike, how do we get our ships, being Indies and all? Do we just chose them, do we ask you for them? Independents Unite!!!

Põdi Posted August 7, 2001 Author Report Posted August 7, 2001 While we're on the subject of assets, anyone got any suggestions as to what your run-of-the-mill assassin is flying nowadays?
Herro Posted August 7, 2001 Report Posted August 7, 2001 Really thhough, why can't I have a stormcarrier, I am in the military so wouldn't they give military commanders like me one of those ships?just a thought... Update It also says on the asset pageCASTE CAREER CHOICE ASSET CHOICEMILITARY COMMANDER Any cruiser/carrier/transport PS PILOT Any close air (PAS/HAG/LAG) / shuttle EF PILOT Any fighter MI MARINE Any ground vehicle Type1 (ATV/APC/HAV/LAV) EF MARINE Any ground vehicle Type2 (HUMVEE/CAB)so a military commander gets his choice of any crusier/carrier/transport.[ 08-07-2001: Message edited by: Herro YuY ]

Still, without an actual Gammulan hierarchy, one must doubt that a rookie of sorts would be assigned the most powerful vessel of the lot.Other reasons for me not wanting to do that has to do with play-balancing in MP. If everyone got to choose the most powerful asset, they would. Therefore, it should be tied in to your experience.Same thing goes for in a fleet. No one is going to get the most powerful ship to start out with.Basically, what you quoted was a technicality. Meaning, that military personnel CAN use those ships. Just because you can, however, doesn't mean that you MAY. [ 08-07-2001: Message edited by: aramike ]
Herro Posted August 8, 2001 Report Posted August 8, 2001 Yea, ok I see what you mean aramike... *goes in a corner and cries*Then what should I chose?
aramike Posted August 8, 2001 Report Posted August 8, 2001 quote:Originally posted by Herro YuY: Yea, ok I see what you mean aramike... *goes in a corner and cries*Then what should I chose?Heh, a reasonable ship to start with.
Jigoku San Posted August 8, 2001 Report Posted August 8, 2001 so that means I can't have a Sunflash Heavy cruiser?
aramike Posted August 8, 2001 Report Posted August 8, 2001 quote:Originally posted by Jigoku San: so that means I can't have a Sunflash Heavy cruiser?As a merc, how do you plan on getting such hardware? Seriously, though, I'm going to talk to Derek sometime and see how he wants to handle assets for Misc Race/Caste.[ 08-07-2001: Message edited by: aramike ]
PJFarland Posted August 8, 2001 Report Posted August 8, 2001 I though mercs had their choice of any cruisers? I can understand not having BC's available to us. But what cruisers will we be able to get?
Herro Posted August 8, 2001 Report Posted August 8, 2001 who said you can't get BC's? ever heard of the black market? LOL!really tho, if you got the creds then you prolly got the ship,
Epsilon 5 Posted August 8, 2001 Report Posted August 8, 2001 No, you can't. It's about the game: you simply aren't permitted to drive a carriers as a merc.
aramike Posted August 8, 2001 Report Posted August 8, 2001 All answers to your ship-selection questions are in the Ship Assignments thread.
