Oh christ knows Shin, i've lost touch with all that. To be honest, I don't really take any notice of all the different versions and stuff any more, that's why I didn't even know about the last few patches. I don't even know what BCM-G is. BCM with Multiplayer? I recall paying a fee to upgrade the first version (a tenner I think), so I presume Derek will run something similar. If it's just going to be the exact same game with Multiplayer added then I agree with the people who say it should be free, because as far as I remember, Multiplayer was promised as a follow up patch. I imagine it'll have different features included though, to justify another price tag. Anyway, i've long since lost the reg number or whatever it was that came with BCM so I won't have proof of purchase. I hate fucking Pixan :) I can't relax knowing that bastard is out there right on my doorstep and there's nothing I can do about it, it's just laughing at me. My latest wheeze is to load up my FC's with vagrants, jump in FC1 and drag us all out for some hunting. Pixan, of course, wiped us all out without breaking sweat, but i've had a lot of good results against enemy fleets out at Sirius. Do you know what I did yesterday? I am such a wanker. I took out all the FC's, but after a lot of fighting a couple of them stopped responding to orders. I wanted to keep all the EP's i'd earned so I called out the CC and docked, then went and tractored them in only to find the crews dead, 2 pilots 2 co-pilots. I went back to Galcom, cloned them, and spent ages repairing all my damaged craft and stocking up on stuff again. I suppose the whole exercise took about 2 hours. I logged out of the station, and just as I was about to save the game, I noticed a little lump of dried gunk on the keyboard (food or something), so I picked it off. It was the Windows menu key and it dumped me straight out to the desktop! The game carried on in the background but when I tried to switch back to it, it just crashed! Two hours shot! Down the drain! Apart from trying to switch out (which it hates), the game's still solid, no crashes at all. br d
