Nope, Derek is still an academic fraud. His troop of Peewee Commanders is
about the same size although he no longer has anyone that tries to defend
his academic fraud. Even his most loyal boot lickers seem to recognize that
he doesn't have any real academic credentials. I guess that perhaps it was a
mistake to offer that I would take down the PhDFraud website if Derek would
sya where he earned a Bachelor's degree. It seemed to make it too obvious. A
tactically brilliant move that turned out to be a strategic mistake because
it defeated the other side and essentially ended the game.

There's actually been very little Derek activity of late, and I find
it hard to believe that people would think Shingen is Derek, unless
they just got here 5 minutes ago.

Yea, I got here five minutes ago. There is nothing much of interest in
this group and I may check it out once every few months or so.

Have you bought UC yet? The new RC3 patch is out and MP seems to be
coming right along.

I think, eventually, players will even be able to save stats between
sessions. =P

________________________________________________________

Against my better judgement, and mostly because Derek wanted to read
the account, here is my tale of woe.

I just had DLed the new UC patch, installed and started a new game (as
it has been my habit to start fresh with a new patch since BCM 1.03).

I went with the default BC3K sets (Galcom/BC-MK3), launched and went
into AI/AP HALT just outside of GalComHQ...kicked my marines in the
a$$, and sent them all to prep.

During that time I think I sent my fighters to engage a few targets
and raise their kill numbers, and I remember collecting a few cargo
pods...(one being worth close to 7 mil galcreds).

Anyway, I decide to head on to Genesis and set my virgin crew onto the
Moon's surface. I generally do this so I can trade in a shuttle and
not have to worry about my CC being destroyed in open space.

I HJ to the moon jumpgate and transit thru, no problems. Upon
entering, I get a klaxon alert, hit TacOps, and find a Megaron, an
Aestrom, and a Stormcarrier all with my new BC as their target!

The Stormcarrier was on the otherside of the system, but the Megaron
and Aestrom were right up my tailpipe. Before I even have time to
react I get an intruder alert (15 intruders had just beamed near my
nuclear reactor, weapons pod and life support...marines were deployed,
but I was scared sh*tless)!

OK, I'm in a brand new BC, my crew is fresh outta boot camp, and now I
have 15 intruders razing my systems, a Megaron, Aestrom, and
Stormcarrier dead on my a$$, and HJ engines depleted because of the
jumpgate. No escape. I'm going to have to fight or die (damn I love
this game)!

First thing I do is turn off my AP/AI (virgin crew,) reactivate my
PTAs (to reset target acquisition)and engage evasive maneuvers. I
launch all 4 fighters and 2 shuttles, then set launch control off.

I fatal every enemy fighter, set 2 fighters on the Megaron and 2 on
the Aestrom, and 1 shuttle on each carrier ( with TOW orders). I then
target the Stormcarrier and reduce it to cargopods with my main-guns.

About 6-8 enemy fighters were eating my shields for lunch, so I go
into tactical, arm 10 mines and start deploying them in a circle (as
best as I can envision one). The mines start going off one after the
other, but that's no good, because one of them just took out my
shuttle! 3 fighters gone, no missiles left and 65% hull integrity!

Re-evaluate the situation! By this time HJ is charged, so I target
Genesis, order every asset to RTB and I got the hell outta dodge!

I may have ran like a scared dog, but they lost and I lived.. so sue
me.

Many commands are keyboard only. I could have made all those commands
availalble by using a right click menu. What do you think is easier,
seeing the commands in a menu or trying to remember the keyboard
command?

>What was your problem again? Derek's an ass? Well, aren't we all.

He's a joke. And I suggest you look up the difference between dynamic
and random. I come from the flight sim world so actually know what a
real dynamic campaign is.

No, I will delve into UC some more and rip it to shreds in this group,
just for your benefit. I looked up every review of UC on the internet
and only one review gave it any respect at all. I think you are very
misguided as to the reality of what UC is.

my memory works fine. right-clicking prolly would've been easier but
since I didn't develop the damn thing... when you finish developing
your own prefect gaming masterpiece, that is all things to everyone,
let me know.

It would appear that you have other issues besides UC. Have you
considered professional help?

Excellent. I'm sure we'll all look forward to more of your
ill-informed proclamations in your future tri-monthly visits.

He didn't actually leave when he said he was going to. Is a pattern
emerging ?
