Guest Grayfox Posted August 14, 2002 Report Posted August 14, 2002 yes, but we dont mind if they kill him...
Guest Fox__Trot Posted August 14, 2002 Report Posted August 14, 2002 I duno ill bet money that you lose half your stuff since resnig will hand it over to those intruders on your ship...
Guest Buzz Posted August 14, 2002 Report Posted August 14, 2002 From Greyfox quote: yes, but we dont mind if they kill him... What you want to kill Resnig? Go to the armory, an get a gun, and a clip, oh and you can use my name to sign it out I'm off duty need a hand
Guest Grayfox Posted August 14, 2002 Report Posted August 14, 2002 haha... well have "Resnig X Games" see how far we can drag him behind a shuttle before he passes out. see how high up we can drop him without actually killing him. see how many rounds it takes to drop his HF to 1. then after each event we'll take him to a supply station and have him patched up to increase his suffering no shirt, no resnig, no xgames...
Joel Schultz Posted August 15, 2002 Report Posted August 15, 2002 Actually, I like playing as unarmed trader at times. It helps me improve my evasive tactics. The better I plan my routes, the less likely I am to have the crap blasted out of me by some raider that I didn't know about. And for the ones that sneak up on me anyway, it let me have a shot at trying out some various "flee before I'm toast" strategies.

AWells Posted September 1, 2002 Report Posted September 1, 2002 Well, I tried out a Paramedic career and I found it fun at first and alot less frustrating than a military commander career... I didn't have intruders onboard everytime I turned around, and actually nobody ever shot at me, even if they showed up as red on my radar. Based at Earthstar I had a lucrative career towing disabled ships from many battles around Jupiter, collecting cargo pods, and mining Europa on the side. Really, though, after a point I said the same thing... what's the point? Sure I was getting EP and cash, but for what? My ship, an LRT-15, could only have one level of upgrades all the way around, and I quickly obtained those. My crew never died, my shuttles were never lost, I never needed repairs, and I didn't need missiles, so most common things I need cash flow for in a Military game just didn't exist. Hell, I was even able to keep my radine tankage fully topped off. I had to get rid of that game when I installed RC17, but I can't say that I'm too sad about it. I'm hoping that once boarding ships becomes a reality in the series that they'll be a new dimension in that particular caste... boarding to give medical aid to injured crew. It would be a ton more immersive than simply towing a ship back to the station.
Supreme Cmdr Posted September 1, 2002 Report Posted September 1, 2002 If you don't get the point of the career, maybe you shouldn't be playing said career. This is a point to EVERY race/caste/career in the game. Just because its there, doesn't mean you should play it - if you don't know what the point is.
AWells Posted September 2, 2002 Report Posted September 2, 2002 quote:If you don't get the point of the career, maybe you shouldn't be playing said career. Point taken Actually, I don't think it's so much a matter of what's the point of playing a particular career/caste, but what's the point of continuing to play it... All the castes have a point, as you said, but outside of the military in BCM there's a noticable lack of depth after a certain period of playing, which is understandable since BCM is first and foremost focused on play in the Terran military, and the others are more like side games. I mean, after all the game isn't called Trader Millenium or Diplomat Millenium. I look at the non-military careers in BCM as a nice way to get used to command, as well as being a fun diversion from a military career, and a chance to view space from a different perspective. Really, I can't see spending months developing a career in them, though. Of course I imagine it will get better as the series progresses, since this only the first game to even feature anything outside the Terran Military as an option. Heck, just reading the feature list for BCG makes me think that playing a lowly Paramedic type will be alot more fun in the next game, and I know that it won't be anything compared to the experience of BCO.
Supreme Cmdr Posted September 2, 2002 Report Posted September 2, 2002 When I designed the BC games and fleshed out the history, race, castes etc etc, it wasn't for the short term. The inclusion of race/caste choices in BCM is just one more step in the long term goal. Which, incidentally, ends with BCO.
Vlad Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 I am a Raider, I dont know if you conciter this a NON-MILITARY caste (I do its my own military) bit I tell you we need those non-mils out their they are my dinner ticket. my sourse of food, money, and a personal source of accomplishment. PLUS IT BLURS OUT THE YELLING VOICES IN MY HEAD TO HEAR THE POOR TRAIDERS/ PARAMEDICS/ WHATEVER SCREAM AS THEY DIE . that is why we need non-military caste so they can be served up as a delitious cargo ship 4 me. hence the foodweb of evaility continues. P.S. We need an EVIL HAPPY FACE UBB code.. Just a thought
Splash2k Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 I find playing a scientist or explorer a nice change from the military life. fun for role playing
Vlad Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 whats the dif between a scientist and a explorer? isnt it the same? Im a Raider I see them all as the same just a EXP or SCI diferance. I suppose Im asking is whats the fun as a Explorer or Scientist it would seem that all you do is run and run and run, i mean i understand trader, as a trider its for finatial gain and hence make a differance. Wouldnt you enjoy making a differance to the Universe? I guess im asking whats fun about the SCI and EXP and get it from the perspective of a scientist or an explorer.
Splash2k Posted May 11, 2003 Report Posted May 11, 2003 i agree that there is no difference between EXP or SCI but when i play sci i don't feel like i have to nuke every red dot i see. it just gives me a break from combat.
