So ive got like 1 or 2 integrity left ... but the computer never finishes my cripled ship and I cant call for a tow as im not on the bridge all the computers are dead tho so I cant do anything Should I just press the self destruct button ...?

I think you should get out of your ship and push

I tried that, it didn't work, seriously. It looked kinda pretty when it finally blew.

[Guy Hanson]

Did you transmit an SOS?

[Cmdr Jeffery Eu]

If your shuttles are destroyed and you have no way to communicate your towing request, you're SOL. So press the self destruct for God's sake!!!

[Guest Grayfox]

either that or eject and rocket pack your way towards a nav point then put Resnig in charge and tell him NOT TO PUSH THE RED BUTTON

It happend again might post the story in the war stories area... Anyways apperently my bridge got repaired *I hopped outta the ship and when I got back it was repaired* but I couldt transmit an S.O.S However my misery was soon ended as I went eva and my CC finaly died *Nope didt get blown up by the enemy I turned my nuclear reactor back on and let it overheat*

[Guest Fox__Trot]

Back to this thread... I rescently got shot up again and this time while the endless damnge report ticked by I heard Nuclear Reactor destroyed Nuclear reactor casing damnged... Just a question shouldt that of killed me? Anyways let the game run overnight *I now haul parts to replace broken reactors * and I couldt turn the reactor back on after i repaird loaded up the logistics computer and it was up to 100 but couldt turn it on had over 500 reactor fuel but it wouldt come on any ideas?

Have you checked the battery charge? Without a sufficient charge the starter won't work (no I'm kidding, I have no idea )

[Guest Fox__Trot]

btw Id saved the night before just incase i crashed *my soundblster audigy card has the habit of locking up my system* and decided to restor that save and load up the playmod *which hadt been usedon the carrer* and did the init system cheat still no luck getting the reactor to turn on.. any ideas

Did you try turning on the engine?? The reactor will not start with out engine on.

Thats not true. The engine relies on the reactor. Not the other way around.

[Urza]

That brings me to a small, perhaps stupid question:

There seems to be a lot of stuff that doesn't work when the reactor is turned off: engines, TacOps, and all bridge computers to name a few. Having 70-80 points of solar power should keep the CC operational for the most part IMHO, except possibly for engines (they rely on Radine, and thus the reactor). After all, the purpose of solar power is for backup until main power can be restored.

Then again, the object is to avoid having your reactor knocked out in the first place.

...and it does just that.

Space is awful boring when you cant turn your reactor on Oh well patch 7 is out may as well use it
