well, i can explain the messed up part. those are buttons i've pushed to the side of the stage in flash. remember how in bm1 you could see the code flash past in the preloader. well it's the same here. when you have the raw swf, you see what's on the side, without borders. when it's embedded in html, the sides get cut off, so you don't see what i've moved out of the way

I got no weapons. What am I supposed to do? The Argonians are firing at me, every ship in the system is firing at me, and I got no guns. Am I supposed to go around an buy a new ship?

maybe, it's up to you. it's part of the game

Then the player will need a bit more of a clue about what to do than "you receive a distress call... and set of for X sector"
Are you supposed to take Argo over?
Are you supposed to take out all the defense platforms and leave the bar for last?

I conquered Argo, is there supposed to be a window with another clue or a reward or something? I hailed the planet, transported down to the planet, looked all over for some abandoned base. Am I missing something?

Are you supposed to be able to communicate with that small construction platform by Vex? I cant even communicate with Vex itself.

Also, I am having a glitch with weapons. I can only arm one weapon. If I try to put another weapon in slot 2 or 3 it just moves my slot 1 weapon over. If I have multiple weapons of the same type, I can arm all of them. But I can't arm 2 different weapons. I also couldn't build any stations. Every attempt disappeared - is that the same "death bug" from BM - once you die you can't build a station again, or if you do they are all glitchy.

The problem with weapons you are having does the same to me when I'm in a smaller ship. That's because each ship has it's own mass as a part of it's stats, and mass in FlashTrek=amount of people in empire needed to operate ship, how big the cargo size can be (I think), and what weapons (including how many) can be loaded onto the ship.

Try loading more than one weapon with a bigger ship. Use some of the easiest, like the single forward firing disruptors. Some ships just can't load the more-powerful weapons in the game.

it deosent load and when it deos it takes ages

No, it's not just mass restrictions. If I have, say a type X phaser and I want to put in a type 7 phaser (a smaller weapon), it won't switch weapons. I've got a Klingon D7 (K'tinga) atm. It should be able to mount a disrupter and a photon torp. I have to sell off the type X phaser to load any other weapon (I can add other type X phasers into the other slots). When I sell off the weapon the merchant shop icon appears in the weapon slot and I cannot load anything in the slot until after I travel to another planet.

If weapon and ship mass are going to be a factor in what weapons you can mount on your ship (a good idea) then there needs to be information about that on the weapon slot selection sub menu and probably at the base where you buy the ships and weapons too. And, how will that work with heavily armed small ships like the Defiant? Does that also mean that really big ships like the Galaxys and Neg'Vars could have more than 3 slots?

i see, isee. this is all good info. this is what the testing process is about. so, when you conquered argos, did it take you to the mission cleared screen? if not, try waroing out of the system, then back in. if that doesn't work, let me know asap!

Mine is not loading

which link are you using?

the first one. I have Firefox if that means anything. Also, I cannot download anything

ok, i think there's a technical error with that one. try the second link

It's working now

ok, good

I finished the mission and I got a mission cleared screen. It then took me to the tourotial page.

yay!! that's what it's supposed to do! ok, i for some odd reason made it take you to a random window, but once the next level is in place, it'll take you to that.

If I load the game from a save file the mission window is gone. That means if I get killed in the process of taking over the planet and have to re-load a savegame, I can't finish the mission.

none of the links work with me

I had a thought of what I think is really needed for flash trek. ZOOM feature!

not that I know of...

oh fine fine make me feel dumb

Why does the Sovgerin have three nacelles?

i'll respond with a smiley:

The Sovergin Class (the Enterprise-E) in your game has a third warp nacelle in the middle of it.

there is no sovereign class ship.

None of these links work.

I want to play this isn't fair

OMG! This game is sweet!

It'll be great once finished. Jut a couple of other things:
Vex seems to be half owned by you, half owned by Vexxians
You start at Vex, your own planet, but you can't get back without buying navigational experience
And will you remake all the graphics?

yeah, i realized that after i released it. i gave it conflicting code, so it doesn't know if the planet's yours, or the vexxians. as for all the graphics, yes, except for maybe a few planet sprites. but there will be far more sprites than any other bm. maybe even a different sprite for every planet. (just an idea)

well if I could help I would but im not good at programing or graphics just the more stats stuff realy.

Graphics are something I could help out with. How big do you want the planet sprites to be? BM2 has some really nice planet sprites, are we going to make all new sprites? How about the land-scape icons that appear in the planet sub-window?

Wow, how does everyone know this stuff? Sorry, I can't help with graphics in that sort of way I don't think.

yea i think Liljenborg should do the graphics and stuff ive seen his work its great

i'm trying to do new graphics for as much as possible, so if you want to do some of the landscapes and planets, go ahead! any help is much appreciated!

it deosnt work the new link it only loas halfway and stops do i need any special programs to run it

oh, here we go again

im sorry just i really wanna play it im so desperate (is it still in alpha stage coz i can only load if its in beta testing)

yep, probably by christmas there'll be a beta
