Surface Ops

[Guest Capt. Rage]

I have been playing around a lot on Earth

and so I decided to Lead a well lead surface ops. It was succesfull, well...I got the job done... I lost 3/4 of my atv's 2 Shuttles, 3 Interceptors, 20 marines and I destroyed 90% of my Battle Cruiser. But in the end when the dust settled , and the deformed exo-skeletons of all the destroyed war machines lay smoking, brittled and beaten... but in the center of the city, 3 marines stood in the ashes in front of my ragged, torn, beaten but still standing battle cruiser behind them, with smoke coming from its PTA guns.

Now what? How can I get friendly settlers into the region?! Or atleast how can i keep the enemy from rebuilding its city?

Plan, Prepare, launch and execute. Never flee from Battle. Be honorable, not Noble.

I don't think that you can. SC correct me if I'm wrong.

J. Smith, you're correct. The only way would be to download the GBS and alter the build times. In fact, I believe I've posted something on this topic a couple days ago.

Not sure bout this, but you could "colonize" the area by tractoring friendly units to the area. of vcoruse it would probably only sat until the area got repaired.

Nope. Only death and destruction can be done w/ BC3K surface ops. Future BC releases may/will allow capture/colonization.

This topic caught my eye I could possibly use a little help in this area from the veterans in here. Ground operations. - the scenario: Pack my crap and head for planet. Get there and blow up entire place (base I'm talking). Dogs, cats and everything. I take some damage and it cost me some money. Head back to some place to "rest up / fix up". Rest up takes Oh 5 hours or what ever. Return back to same exact place I blew up only X hours ago and it's all rebuilt. I have read the posts that say 3 or 4 hours (or something like that) are needed to rebuild these bases so I understand that is what it is. But I feel like a red ant trying to get out of a sand pit. I run and run but never get over the crest. I could repeat the same scenario over and over - same spot. How do you experience guys/gals keep up with this? Why do I do this or why do I want to do this? And what is the other 70 billion places for?? Simple math shows me I don't have to leave earth. I know of using GBS to modify the game, but so far I have used no cheats / modification. I'm one of those dude who likes to use up a game the way the creator designed it until I'm completely spent on the game. Then I use the mods to add a new twist later. Any suggestions or am I doing something totally wrong here? Maybe I'm just missing the point.??

Awhile back there was something like this, but the end result was the rebuild times for everything was increased.

Chizel: Why risk damage to your ship and crew?

Nukes: Quick, cheap and efficient. Accept no substitutes. Send them marines down after the cats stop glowing for a photo shoot, then go home and brag
