Another concern I have are between Romulan and Disruptor Dizzes. Now that Klingons have their Disruptors track Warping ships much better then before, are their any advantages of using the Beam type Romulan Disruptors? Just seems like they equivlent now and I don't see an advantage between one too the other.

I would like to know if any of you are noticing bugs in the 531 patch yet.I haven't DL it yet I just want to see if there are any bugs in it if there are please tell the Moderators about it or PM Ann.I was wondering aswell is that transporter bug gone away I know it was fixed in the 1.01 beta but this seems to be a better patch than that one or do you need the 1.01 beta aswell.It seeems to be a bit more chellenging now just like EAW and OP .

So far, it seems this new Beta patch is more stable then before. But I have only played on GSA and have not tried out the Dynaverses yet. I'm sure they are still a some bugs, but they seem too be only minor ones thus far.

The biggest concern right now that I have is Balance issues. Plasmas hit more frequently, tripple fire is more common with Legendary officers (never did like the feature myself), and Klingon Dizzies can track warping ships. I agree with other aswell, the Klingons are down right frightening then before.

Dear Pestalence,Have you found the time to test my Bug,yet? And,By the way,Where is your "Bug List" located? Thank You for your time,Sir. Joseph L. Rand.(RJLRand@aol.com)

Pestalence · « **Reply #24 on:** May 01, 2004, 12:47:06 am »

The bug report forums is the one that says SFC 3 Bug Reports.

Also, recap exactly what is happening with your game so that other testers can look at it as well as myself...

Thanks.

That should make those Romulans very nervous it is a good thing that Federation are allies with them.

Dear Pestalence,Sir,I forgot to mention that my O.S. is Windows98 not Windows XP so I don't have a "Disable Visual Themes" to "Unclick" in my "Properties". Thank You for your time,Sir. Joseph L. Rand.(RJLRand@aol.com)

I was wondering, do any of you guys think the new Beta Build 351 plays different then the 1st Beta Patch? I haven't played on GSA yet, but it seems the new Beta Patch feels different then before. This is a good thing in my opinion, the ships seem too fly slower in the game and not as maneuverable. Am I right on the assumtion?

Was their other changes too the game besides just bug fixes?

Pestalence · « **Reply #29 on:** April 25, 2004, 12:29:31 am »

Ship turn arcs were adjusted as well as firing arcs added to the game.. however, none of the stock ships firing arcs were adjusted. IIRC there was also an adjustment to impulse as well

Magnum357 · « **Reply #30 on:** April 25, 2004, 01:08:23 am »

I see. I like the adjustments so far. I think they will help against all those Klingon players on GSA where they are extremely hard too hit with their fast moving vorcha's and such. I think I'm going too like this new Beta patch.

Dear Ladies and GentleGamers,I've been playing as "The Borg" after Installing the 351 Build Patch. And,What I've noticed so far,is the the "Day in the Life" Mission is missing. Oh,you get automatically taken to the hex,in question,and you have all the before hand messages telling you to go assimilate the race in question. However,when you get to the hex only the second planetary mission is in the hex,not the primary one. If anyone else is having this same problem,please let me know how you solve it. Thank You for your time,folks. Joseph L. Rand.(RJLRand@aol.com)

The mission script is incorporated in the v500 and v531.. same mission script... it sould be working...

was this after doing a complete reinstall of SFC 3.. after deleting the SFC 3 game folder off your system?

just wondering as it was working on my end.. before i packaged it up.... the patch shows the mission to be included.. and it install correctly.. so I am not sure what the problem could be.. please post the exact methods of how you installed v531.. Thanks...

If the storyline mission doesn't actually show up in the Missions screen, just move around the adjoining hexes, it will show up. There is a setting, used on the D3 mainly, that doesn't allow missions in hexes with enemy planets, bases or ships.

Dear Pestalence,I removed S.F.C.III from my harddrive using the Add/Remove Programs,just like it said in the "ReadMe Doc"of the 351 Patch. This was yesterday(4-24-2004). It didn't dawn on me,until today,(4-25-2004)that you are supposed to leave the last Beta Patch(v500)on your harddrive. I kept getting "Unhandled Exception Error" messages when I tried to use the 351 Patch by itself. When I put the two Patches together,the game ran,however,even though I was automatically taken to the hex were the "Day in the Life",Borg mission,was supposed to be,the second planetary mission was in the hex,but the primary mission("A Day in the Life"-Borg)was not. That,Sir,is basically my problem. And,By the Way,The Planetary Mission is still too lopp sided in favor of the A.I. It gangs up on you and "Wolf Packs" you to death. However,Thank You for your time,Sir. Joseph L. Rand.(RJLRand@aol.com)

As soon as I get my game sorted out, i will run a test to confirm this and add it to our bug list now so others in the Beta Test Team can confirm...

Thanks for the heads up.
