Please excuse this question from an almost new player (its been a long time since I played sfc2), but I was on the SFC 7.35 server and entered a planetary assault mission on a planet in a nebula. Quickly I found out that my marines could not be sent to the planet. What should I have done?

BTW This is my first post here so please be nice to me even when I ask stupid questions. And hello to all of you. I am flying under the name of SOS-Caligula on the above mentioned server, but decided to change my name to something more ladylike for the forums and the future. So if you see me, say hello and try not to blow me up too often.

Wow, I told the boys at fleet command not to let a GIRL into our club! How are the vets here supposed to take us seriously with questions like that?? They're going to tell us to go back to SFC3 and hang out with all the newbs! They won't let us play on their next server!

LOL. Just kidding, fleetmate. You know I still think you are the cutest Rom around.

Actually, I'm afraid you are out of luck. You can't capture planets in a nebula. Sounds like someone goofed with the map.

Yup someone goofed. It is impossible to capture in a nebula.

Ya Corbo... I remember the ISC HW in that nebula... was it Artic or Rooks server?

You can.

Given enough firepower.

Thus, thats why we are now selling: MASS DRIVERS

Buy your mass Driver today, and be able to shoot asteroids at planets.

Thank you all for our replies, I was wondering if I had forgotten something.

P.S. Skor

Just remember, that a "GIRL" had to save you from all those big bad Feddie Sovereigns in SFC3 once upon a time....

And yes I am a cuter Rom than you, sweetie.

Also big kisses for GDA Doc who directed me here, thank you so much...

Actually ...

In some past versions of EAW or OP (don't recall which at the moment), sometimes you could get a Victory (not Astounding Victory) by destroying all the defenders and then leaving the map. However, I think that might have been in base assaults, and may have had something to do with the mission victory awards. I wouldn't recommend trying it with a planet assault in a nebula.

This sounds like something Dave "Nuclear" Wessels (the Evil one) should take into account for his custom missions, though. Oh Dave ...

If you're able to launch a shuttle in a nebula, I'd like to see how you did it. Has the code changed THAT much since the last time I played EAW?

I don't know. I remember that you could launch GAS in multiplayer when the game first appeared. I wish you could still. Maybe Talden thought that GAS's made ship capture too easy. Mind you, I might disagree with that statement. GAS are supposed to be the Gorn "thing".

And Caligula: please stop kissing GDA-DocPsycho. He's a married man!

LATE EDIT: Actually, putting homeworlds in a nebula hex might not be such a bad idea. Their invulnerability could help admins design campaigns that were wars over resources, rather than just homeworld humps.

Hail!

I suppose I should have signed on long ago. Red Shirt! BAH!

Nevertheless, I made it. So when does this Day of Delay thing start up? Will there be rules? What fleets play on D2?

SOSCleopatra · « **Reply #16 on:** February 25, 2003, 11:34:49 pm »

Nero!!!!

You got my e-mail about these forums, and you care!!!!

Big Smoochie for you sweetie!

Now if the other boys would get here, I'd have an appropriate escort. We princesses need our retinues. Now we just gotta get you out of that "Red Shirt"

In D3 you dont have to take the planet just destroy the defenders.

I attacked a planet in D2 on the 7.35 server but it had like 30 defenders and my marines just got killed as fast as I could beam them down.

Forget the nebula as I know transporters or much of anything else doesnt work.

I cannot take a planet in open space. How do u win these??????

I am very confused. Am I doing something wrong or is this some kind of funny game bug?????
