Cmdr. Logan Posted June 23, 2000 Report Share Posted June 23, 2000 Things that bug me:1) Shuttles look too nice and peaceful. The Battlecruiser is a military vessel, and, therefore, should have shuttle that will have the enemy say "Bugger, that's a military shuttle full of troops/supplies/ATV" etc. Thats only a cosmetic gripe though 2) The lack of background information on vessels and weapons. I'm the sort of person that likes to know all the little things about vehicles in games. The problem is, that you don't know who is using what equipment. It's nice to have a hint of an idea what you will come across when on a mission. The array of missles/mines etc.. is cool, but the information conerning them should be accessable from the trading screen.3) Detection systems. Being a bit of a flight sim fan, I always try to employ tactics that keep my visibility down, without having to cloak. Maybe some information in the manual about tactics to keep emissions low would help out. or maybe some sort of display in the craft to show how close you are to being detected and tracked.Things that are WAY COOL that make be a happy bunny! 1) TACOPS.The best part of the game IMHO. A system that helps you to orchestrate the invasion of a planet. Rock on 2) Amazingly huge amount of things to do. The ACM was cool, but the ability to just do a "Bill Gates" and ask yourself, "Who do I want to invade today?" really gave me a hard-on. Really.3) The vast amount of units in the game. The last thing I expected when I bought this game, was to find the huge variety of units on planets and in space. Aircraft carriers, mechanised robots, air-skimmers..etc..Hmmm.. BCM... (Starts drooling..) ******************************************** (Added bit, after reading more posts.)Sorry SC, forget the bit about detection systems. If it's sorted, it's sorted =)Anyway, the game lights my ring in a big way and the gripes are really nothing in comparison to all the amazingly cool things in BC3K.(End of rant.) ------------------ Commander Logan GCV Crazy Horse *2nd Squadron, Corsair Wing Stationed, Starbase Cerberus "When the going gets weird, the weird get professional" (10763330) GMT -=+Wraith Fleet+=-[This message has been edited by Cmdr.

Hector Socas Navarro Posted June 23, 2000 Report Share Posted June 23, 2000 I myself play free flight (it's called ROAM now, right?) most of the time, so I don't really care much about new ACM scripts.As for the PTA, I like it the way it is. Powerful enough to kick away that small fighter like a disturbing fly.I remember the discussion we had about fog of war many months ago, but I didn't know it had already been implemented in the code. Wow! I wonder how it works. Ahhh, anticipation is killing me.------------------ See you out there, among the starsCmdr Nava, GCV Nemesis (Official BC3k tester) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korono Lakeela Posted June 23, 2000 Report Share Posted June 23, 2000 1) Only minor dislike, heck maybe I am just doing something wrong. I just find it kinda upsetting to see a cruiser that I just tumbled with, on the verge of destruction, turn on the hyperdrive and during the second that it is forming the jump it is completely immune to my fire, to me, I figured it would be the MOST vunerable during that time. During a big battle I tend to create a large convoy of cripples all in line to get into the nearest jump gate. This is just a minor thing to me though, but thought I would mention. 1. Big like: Just being able to manipulate my crew, load them on shuttles, lock them in the clink, give them shore leave on Earth if I like them....or Jupiter, if I don't like them ------------------ Commander Lakeela GCV-King Crimson Terran Sector[This message has been edited by Korono Lakeela (edited 06-23-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Peng Posted June 23, 2000 Report Share Posted June 23, 2000 I haven't participated in the forums as of late, but I have always been a faithful follower of the game Dislikes: incredible speed during jumps, and it's good to know that it will be rectified.Likes: that Derek is addressing many of the comments in this thread. I also like the tremendous developer support after release of game from V2.0 to V2.09. It appears to me that so many game developers will release a game, forget about it, and move to work on the next title. Another great attribute of the game is the wacky fans... bc3000ad.com is my comic relief from daily grind... I mean that in a very good way, of course Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted June 24, 2000 Report Share Posted June 24, 2000 My little dislike is the sprites for the wormhole rotating to always face the camera. It just looks odd. I love the freedom and size of the universe.------------------ Cmdr. Antilles Spectre Fleet Spectre Starstation ICV- Eclipse Chief Security Officer Learning is not compulsory... Neither is survival.

Eclipse Posted June 24, 2000 Report Share Posted June 24, 2000 I don't claim to know anything about graphics programming, but it looks odd in tacops or when I'm coming in at a different angle as another ship to see the wormhole facing me, he appears to have gone in sideways. In tacops I zoom to a wormhole and rotate the camera aroun it, the sprite is always facing me. it doesn't look too bad until my ship flys through the side of it not even lined up to the front if the wormhole. With fluxfiels and the asteroids, it works fine, its just a personal eyecandy dislike. nothing wrong with the game.------------------ Cmdr.

Supreme Cmdr Posted June 24, 2000 Report Share Posted June 24, 2000 Its not eyecandy. It is rendered world aligned, instead of screen aligned and it works as designed.And btw, the bridge/cockpit and tacOPS, have different camera types and angles.

Guest Posted June 24, 2000 Report Share Posted June 24, 2000 Don't worry Eclipse, i'm sure the SC will nab the wormhole graphic from DS9 and plug it in *wicked grin*The jumpgate graphics were improved if you look at the screenshots...wonder how the wormholes look like now.

Eclipse Posted June 25, 2000 Report Share Posted June 25, 2000 SC: I see. Tac: look through those pics again there is one that has a wormhole targeted in the CVD.

Cruis.In Posted June 25, 2000 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2000 hey hold on I said ONE dislike ehheeh or did I??Hey SC, I downloaded the mp3 theme song, I like it! I play lead guitar so it's cool to me. About BC:M, are the weapons lik lasers going to be beam weapons? LIke on the box art for it?Rattler, what I mean by the combat is it's not fun to fly it from the bridge of the BC. I monitor things from tacops. and all it is is point and click at which ship to destroy.------------------ Commander Cruis.In Spectre Fleet CEO, Sygan Star Station ICV Defiance"Dare to be defiant" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
