Campaign Questions (don't need clues)

[EbonyKnight]

First I am playing BCMG. march patch 01.04 I believe. Is this the latest?

I have some overall general questions that I hope vets can answer. I have started playing a campaign, using a warmonger. There is no research officer. I see in the fourth or fifth scenario, I should have a research officer to make use of an artifact.

Should I be playing with a carrier that has the complete compliment of officers?

Also, what is the best way to play the game? Should I start from the top down as a commmander and progressing to grunt or the reverse? Are there campaign differences for each of the different levels? Should I play from the bottom up?

Also, I found the bc3000 tutorial that someone recommended for newbies, but the tutorials don't seem to be the same. I mean for example. If I left click on a blank space on the bridge, a command menu doesn't open. Does the faq translate well to BCMG?

Also, I need to register the game here so that I can post a tech question. How exactly do I do that? I have the number off of the CD case. I lost my map/command card and need to get a replacement. Also, the game exits out to the OS if I destroy a starbase.

I am playing on a dell inspirion laptop with logitech attack 3 joystick.

Thanks in advance.

You donÔÇÖt need to worry about not having a research officer,

DonÔÇÖt think IÔÇÖve ever reached the point when any of the artefacts have been researched while playing the ACMs.

IÔÇÖve never played them with anything other than a carrier even thought I very rarely needed to launched the fighters, which seems to be the whole point of choosing a carrier.

Play the instant action missions to get a flavour of careers.
