Thanks SC

[buckthesystem]

I've been watching the forum for most of today (the joys of being on holiday ), and I just wanted to comment on how the SC has been handling the "bug" reports.

SC, you should get a medal! I was so surprised to see how quickly (and "tolerantly" ) you handled said reports. Well done and thank you, I wish more developers showed the dedication you do.

[Supreme Cmdr]

Thanks.

hehe, after the last two, I've had plenty of practice.

The fact that the open issues (none so far that I can see) are few, is testament to our Beta test commitment and the hard work put in by the Beta testers over the months.

Though I must admit, that business about the crash when destroying a station with orbiting platforms, was my fault. Normally, you'd find those stations on a planet. Not in space. I added them in space at the last minute because otherwise there would be no way for a Space Force Marine to have access to medical, weapons etc. So, I thought "....hmmmmm, floating supply stations!". So, I just added them to the system script (basic orbit command which am sure GBS modders are familiar with) - and hey presto!!! we had floating supply stations.

This was primarily for multiplayer too, btw.

So, who wouldn't thought that destroying their orbital reference object (the station) would have such ramifications. Damn programmers. I should be publicly flogged. But I hope you guys would just settle for the freebies in the upcoming patch as a compromise cuz I can't take another flogging this week.

As for the exit transition persistence (if you evac in space while flying the CC, it won't auto-quit as it should. You have to do it manually using ALT+Q), again, any good commander knows not to scuttle their craft.

All in all, its looking good and am quite pleased.

As soon as we can get these initial quirks out of the way, we can hunker down and get the mp patch up and running in Beta.

For a game of it's magnitude, BCM has surprisingly few bugs (most of which turn out to be the users fault, old drivers, etc) Your hard work shows. Enjoy your (upcoming) vacation, you've earned it!

-RVS-

[Cmdr Nova]

Yeah. I love the work he's done. I'm busy playing the game more now, than doing the Welcome Wagon stuff that I was supposed to do when BCM was already out. (I didn't pre-order, so I thought I probably wouldn't have it until later..... Hehe, even though I didn't preorder, I still have the game before some who did.....)

You deserve that vacation. Now, if I were really pessimistic, I'd shorten your vacation time, so you'd have to get down on to that multiplayer patch, but I'm not going to........

Instead, I'll have you attatched to a laptop the whole time, so you can work on it from there!

j/k! Once again, great job, SC!
