Hmm so If I send a vrius that infects every person who plans on joining with the exception of myself. I could beat all the TC powerhouse gamers
And then I woke up to breakfast in bed.

If you manage to find one to buy second hand, it might only take you 2 hours...

But sadly it takes only one good dice roll from the Almighty RNG to hit that miniscule window, and RNG is known for re-rolling on re-load. Definitely not fair play.

yea it is a dice roll. God just can't make up his mind given a secound chance to think about things (run lines of code) god definately decides things should have worked out differantly.
like how on 2.5 you should save when your marines are on board a ship incase they fail. Unless it's a K then failure is assured. I dunno what nasty stuff is in a K but i think Egosoft could make an entire mini game based on the fact that the machines really slaughter marines.
I think the doom 3 engine would do it justice with it's dark scary enviroment. Call it "you order me to board what!!!?? Oh just a TL, ok no problem. The last words of a victem er marine before being launched towards a K"

I'll check the price of the centaur and get back with you. My strategy will be to steal ships and sell them to get the money and just buy one as ion D and a good crew of marines are hard to come by since 2.5 I think a centaur is 16 million. I'm not sure. I'm about to play the game. I'll have a look and see if I want to do this. sounds fun.
