Sweeeeet. Now, they need to share the camera secrets with the BC community so we can try and fix BC's awful camera.

Amen, brutha. BC's cam is horrible, especially with tiny ships.

Watchoo talkin' bou' willis?

Ah, the new ships are out..

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3143 on:** March 15, 2012, 05:21:47 PM »

Well, it seems that they didn't quite put in the right camera update in this patch. You can't zoom in as far as before with the big ships, and the camera stays pretty far from the shuttles. At least the Type 10, at any rate.

However, it did let me see what the visual changes were for the complete Jem'Hadar space set, pretty nifty.

Uh? I can get pretty close to the Type 10

Not sure why you would want to be closer.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3145 on:** March 15, 2012, 05:52:53 PM »

I guess it's because of my preferred resolution. I keep it rather small so I don't experience game-lag.

But it would be nice if they'd fix the camera so that the shuttle can be seen from the fore angles without being at full stop.

EDIT: Just got my Tactical Odyssey, the Aquarius is neat-looking. And I LOVE the bridge. It seems to have a secondary control area below the front of the bridge that looks out the forward viewport.

Uh-oh! Another boo boo by cryptic!

Apparently the console that boosts shield capacity by 35% now stacks. Again.

"Changed offending Bajoran Male Counselor name after said Counselor's attempt to provide therapy to a human crewmember resulted in gales of laughter that were not able to be ceased until the Bajoran counselor fled the room red-faced."

...huh??

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3149 on:** March 21, 2012, 08:32:11 AM »

One of the Bajoran DOFFs had a funny name.. I don't know what.

Heretic likes to inject humor into some of his patch notes.

welp...guess who surrendered?
Hobbs talked me into it...he has worse comp specs than I do, and can run it!

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3151 on:** March 22, 2012, 05:15:31 PM »

It's really not that big of a game. Especially not when compared to TOR. Curse you TOR for requiring Windows 7 and 20+GB of HD space!! :argh:

Tumerboy posted an approximate scale of ships compared to the Ent-F

I still think that split neck looks plain daft.
That dude could have used some AA as well

it's not the size. I didn't fill the old 10 gig that came with our first comp, nor the 40 gig from the second, let alone this 160. it was the hardware requirements. I'm just hoping it CAN run this thing

*sighs*

okay, guys, I'm gonna need some tips here.

yes, the game works. it hitches like BC with 2048's, but it WORKS.

I need to tune this down a bit . i'm having trouble navigating because of this hitching and not being used to using a keyboard on a regular basis. otherwise, I seem to be working alright with the rest of it.

look for me under the name here, or ask Lionus.

since I'm new to MMO's, I'm gonna need all the help I can get

KrrKs · « **Reply #3157 on:** March 24, 2012, 09:34:17 AM »

Stuff like Post- Processing, AA, and Shadows have the largest impact on the Frame rate.
Additionally certain Locations, like Earth space Dock are sometimes nearly impossible to navigate due to lag/server Issues, so maybe it has nothing to do with your Hardware.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3158 on:** March 24, 2012, 12:03:55 PM »

You might also kick the lighting down to low and decrease resolution.

King Class Scout · « **Reply #3159 on:** March 24, 2012, 02:30:26 PM »

*chuckle* it did it in the TUTORIAL areas.

I took a tip from the forums and tried to increase the pagefile size this thing uses (they're reccomending 10 GIG of pagefile). a lot of lag in my other stuff has gone poof after this, BC included.

however, looks like I can't retry again, today. the minute i thought I could, i got a haul-call...probably take till 7 PM
