Darkken Nightshade Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 I towed this gunship into space with me, and as long as I stay near the planet, even after i released the tractor and put up my shields, the gunship kept flying near me, it felt like he was "magnetized". Every once in a while he'd bump into me and go shooting off, but he'd always come back. http://home.comcast.net/~s.beaudrot/littlebuddy.jpg Hey! Close that door, it's COLD in here!! http://home.comcast.net/~s.beaudrot/littlebuddy2.jpg
Supreme Cmdr Posted March 7, 2004 Author Report Posted March 7, 2004 heh, gunships were not designed for space, but there's nothing preventing you from doing what you're doing - as pointless as it may seem.
Marvin Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 A panorama of Utopia. Gordon and I explored this place last night during multiplayer. Rather interesting. If you look closely, you can see my Megaron parked out front. The pix shown here is three screen shots, each taken at a resolution of 800x600, stitched together. Gordon made it inside the station with his command craft while I roamed around in an OC below ... looking for a ground entrance. When I couldn't find an open doorway, I kinda' pushed my way through.
crazybama Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Here's my first pics of a science/exploring adventure. First, I thought I'd stop off at Earth and do some training with my crew. We're on a mission to find interesting things (for pictures) in the vast universe. The first city we landed in, we found something very interesting. Picture of the city http://img34.photobucket.com/albums/v102/C...UCpics/City.jpg The "interesting" thing was this one. One marine said, "How do you get in those doors up there?" I said, "Jetpack stupid!" http://img34.photobucket.com/albums/v102/C...eamtraining.jpg Stay tuned...
Robstein Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 Got a few myself. People from the DC Board *shivers* might recognize these: The view from Mars Resniiiiiiiiiiiiig! That's all I've got so far that's not in space. I'll get more eveentually, I'm sure.
Most Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 Great pics guys, i like them all, especially the Utopia one. Interesting.
Cc Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 Yep.Definitely like the Utopia pic.Still trying to get to the probe in BCMG MP.
Marvin Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 It was still pretty dark when somebody parked his MkIII. Actually, this was an MP glitch ... to the player (no names, please), his ship looked just fine. Though, at 2:00 o'clock in the a.m. (Gordon's time), another cup of coffee would've probably helped.
Marvin Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Okay, I think this is the first post of two players meeting in multiplayer. That's me (in my "android" outfit) watching Gordon check out the systems on his shuttlecraft. We both deployed mining drones in Alaska, then rendezvoued for a quick beer. Notice it's sunset ... meaning we were off duty. That large object looming in the background is Gordon's command craft ... properly parked in the horizontal position.

Marvin Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 I hope not. In any case, it's rather odd that I almost always see another player's craft canted at an angle after planetfall. Last night, both Remo's FC and Gordon's CC looked to me (and I emphasize, "looked") to be sticking out of the ground after landing. Mine, on the other hand, looked just fine to them.
DennyMala Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 Well... I can assume you're better at parking...

I know whats causing it. It is packet delay. Your craft is handled local to you (client side), so it will look fine. To others - if they don't get enough packets - then the last packet they get will be the point where your ship is pitched up (thats an AP problem I need to fix) but they don't get frequent updates up the point where your craft has leveled out. This packet delay issues (which is what those queue error messages are) are the cause of various anomalies when on the planet (because there is a lot more stuff to send and thus more packets) and its the current priority item being investigated.
Marvin Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 Thank you, sir. Didn't intend to post a Tech issue here ... it just kinda' metamorphed into one.

Guest Remo Williams Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Here's some shots of my AE out looking for a casino. City skyline after dark Pretty lights Enjoying the view Watch that first step
Guest Remo Williams Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 quote:Originally posted by DREADA: I like 'Pretty Lights' with the trees in the suburban-looking foreground. Yeah I liked that one too. I pity the fool that tries to target and deploy a nuke in this city. You can't see it from these shots but there's an STO silo setting right in the middle of the city just waiting to go active.
mentis938 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Dude, what city is that? That's an awesome view, and it looks way bigger than all the cities I have seen thus far!
Gordon Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 His photos are from the new patch that the Beta Team just received. You are looking at a developer that takes pride in his work, considering the price point for this game and the rushed release. He is not only fixing bugs but he is adding content, that's rare these days. Here is a photo showing just how large these cities are. City View

Guest Remo Williams Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 LOL! I see a new sport in the future. Where a few Marines jump off the side of a building and see who can wait the longest before engaging on their jetpak.
