Matchoo Posted April 6, 2004 Report Posted April 6, 2004 If I park my CC on a planet with all systems shut down, and move my entire crew into shuttles, will the life support in the shuttles keep the crew alive? Also, do the shuttles use fuel or do they get their power by charging when docked?
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 6, 2004 Report Posted April 6, 2004 Why don't you save the game. Then try it?
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 6, 2004 Report Posted April 6, 2004 I'm sure glad you think so. The point is, if you can try something for yourself, why clutter the board by asking questions just so someone can do the work for you? Thats just being lazy.
Matchoo Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Posted April 6, 2004 Sorry, I'm not trying to be lazy. I haven't had the time to try it lately and I was wondering if someone knew the answer already. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it tonight. I'll also be more careful not to ask questions I can try for myself. Thanks.
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 6, 2004 Report Posted April 6, 2004 The issue is not about asking the question. Its about learning on your own. If you were given all the answers, how much fun would that be? Most of the fun in BC games is trying stuff and seeing how it turns out.
korlinga Posted April 6, 2004 Report Posted April 6, 2004 Hmmm...let me know how it turns out Matchoo! I'm alitte lazy, yes, but all my "spare" RL time goes into completing the ACM. (Fun but tough as hell to Tha n00wb 5pyd3r.)
Matchoo Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Posted April 7, 2004 I tried it last night. I put my CC on the surface of earth where it was night, then I moved my entire crew into the shuttles(except resnig) and shut down all power. Resnig's health slowly dropped, but everyone else stayed at 100%. I still can't find anyplace that shows the current power of the shuttles, though. On a side note, when Resnig's health got too low he hopped on one of the shuttles and got his health back. This made me kind of mad because I was trying to suffocate him, so I took my CC into space and tried to beam him down to the planet in the middle of an insurgent base, hoping they would swarm around him and kill him. That didn't work either because his fatigue factor was 100% and every time I ordered him to go to transporter room he would change himself to be off-duty. Finally I just self-destructed my ship....That will show him who's boss....Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 Personnel have the ability to seek out a location that has a sustainable life support. Thats why Resnig moved to a shuttle when you turned off life support in the CC. As you have now discovered, all crafts have a built in life support system.
Matchoo Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Posted April 7, 2004 Does the CC have a brig that I can throw Resnig into to that next time I try this he won't be able to reach the life support? Just kidding. I figured that the shuttles had life support, I just wasn't sure if it was active when docked while the CC's power was down. I'm thinking that the shuttles don't have unlimited power to run their life support, but when I go to logistix on the shuttle, the power button disappears. I'm guessing this is how it is supposed to be (although maybe I'm wrong), and I've searched the game for any other place that might tell me the power status of the shuttle, but I haven't found one yet. The shuttle cargo bays didn't have any minerals for a reactor, so I'm guessing it charges some batteries or something when it is docked. I'm fine trying to figure it out on my own, but I also wouldn't mind a hint or something to point me in the right direction. Thanks.
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 brig = Detention Hold You might just want try reading section 7.1 of the manual. Just a thought.
Matchoo Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Posted April 8, 2004 I've read the manual a few times and I guess only remembered the stuff I was interested in at the moment. Sorry. I read the manual again and saw that the shuttles use a rechargable battery that all the systems use, and it needs to be closely monitored or I'd end up drifing in space. This makes perfect sense. I still haven't found any place to get the status of the battery, though. I would think it would be logistix, but on my pc the power button on the logistix screen disappears as soon as I open logistix. Is there a way to look at the remaining battery power on the shuttle? Also I know there is a detention hold to hold intruders in, but if I send Resnig there will he go directly to jail, not passing go, and not collecting $200, or will he be just visiting? Thanks for your help.
