It was nowhere near that bad in beta 2. What changed?

Uh... why would the lack of steam completely stop you from playing? That makes no sense at all to me.

Try setting your Nividia 3D settings from the control panel to "Best performance." If its that old bug that should fix it.

Sadly them putting up another server would not do anything. If there are a lot of people downloading it at the same time then the bandwidth is shared across all the users. Its like expecting more water to pass through a hole. Hopefully as more people finish their downloads and log off the download will become faster for those remaining.

Ok I just PMed my Steam key to MobiusPC. Hope that's ok. I have no idea why people get the sweats and tremors so much when they cant use steam. For one thing, turning the damn thing off boosts my performance no end...

Well I could send you mine, but I'd like to make sure that its ok to do that with the devs before I do something like that. Could any dev clarify that its ok to do that please>

I'll see if I can alter it when I finally get to play.

10 long hours to download for me :\

Sounds like a corrupt download to me. Only way to fix that is to download it again. Downloads can get corrupt for all sorts of reasons outside of BI's control. Did you uninstall the beta?

Personally I could not care less about the steam key. I bought the supporters package for the soundtrack.

There is a link in the email you should have recieved, which would be clear if you read it. The link is here http://www.carriercommand.com/updates/

YOu can have each walrus guarded by a manta by setting the Manta to "assist" the walrus. You can order Units by flipping to the map issuing the order then going back to the FPV on the walrus

can you disable the xbox controler?

Come on Bohemia Gimme my gaaaaame!!! *F5s the store page furiously*

You can specify assists bu selecting a walrus on the map screen Pressing Shift and clicking the walrun Icon that you want it to assist.

Thats odd. I checked out that error code and it pops up when people dont have enough disk space to run an app (specificly people were trying to install windows 7 SP1 and they got not enough disk space errors) You could try defragging your drive and updating your device drivers. Which I need to do myself actually.

Ok. Tonight in my game I actually decided to blow them up. YOu are correct, the voice says "telemetry range increased" as you destroy them, but the circle does not actually increase. However, it in effect does not matter, as when you sail around the Island to get to the next Scrambler, the range increases to cover the scrambler you have to tale out anyway. Its possible that you get a little bonus if you hack the scrambler rather than destroy it, but in effect it does not adversely affect you too much if you just decide to nuke it. Obviously it will mean that the scramblers will have to be rebuilt by the Islands though. I'm sorry if I seemed a little condecending in my earlier post, that was not my intention.

Well, in everygame I've played I've sailed up and deactivated them. I have no idea what "destroying them" will accomplish as I've never done so. Deactivating them is the way to go. And yeah they would need to be rebuilt like any other building.

Well, official release date is 28th so thats 2 days away. I'd love to get my hands on it timorrow though. Really want to start playing the campaign. I likes a bit o story, I do. :D

If you look back at the old game as well, some people claim itr was easy to kill the other carrier, others never did it no matter how much they played CC. I suppose its easy once you figure out the trick. I know I got hammered by the carrier till I figured out my technique for killing it in CCGM

Er... by "taking out" do you mean destroying it? Because if you destroy it that does nothing but screw you over. You have to get a walrus up beside it and hack it. :) (Hacking Module not nessesery) But sometimes the circle does not increase very much depending on where the other scrambler is. If you sail around the island you will see the telemetry circle increasing and decreasing. All thats guaranteed is that when you are close to it the Telemetry circle will be over the scrambler.

I'm not sure if you can save weapon loadouts. You can have say rocets and lasers on a manta, and can swap between them as the active firing weapon, but a walrus only has one weapon system at a time. TO change the weapon loadout you have to go back to the carrier. You also have one slot for armour and one slot for a utility module, such as extra ammo for your weapons.

Dont forget that if you put one of your islands on defense it strengthens the defense of every island linked to it. So if you have a defense and something else that will beef up the defense and slow him. Your stockpile island is alwasy a production island as well so you can set that one to defense without losing anything. That will beef up all aslands nect to it as well. Remember though it takes a little while for the islands to build themselves up to the new strength And yes 2 defense islands next to one another will strengthen each other. The worst I I ever found was a triangle of defense islands that were all strengthening one another and all had the designation "Deadly". I could not crack them :S

The only use I can see for a bomb is when you have a trio of defense Islands that you have to crack, it might be good for making a kalamakazi run on the enemy command center to blow it up so you don't have to chop through maximum level Island defenses. In the ful game you might have Hammerheads to do that.

When you are low on fuel you get a red sign on your fuel guage. And frankly if you let yourself run out of fuel you deserve the enemy carrier running around taking your islands. After all, if the enemy runs out of fuel you will obviously say "gosh! it is really unfair to be taking advantage of his misfortune. I shall just sit here on this Island till he gets going again. It is only fair! Dib dib dib and all that." rather than "MUHUHUHAHAHAAA! ISLANDS HERE I COME!!!" So, keep yourself topped up with fuel kids!
