Continuing the tradition of releasing my games for free on the net after their shelf life has expired and marking the imminent release of Universal Combat - A World Apart, I have today released the full and latest version of Battlecruiser Millennium.
Pass it around to your friends and be sure to check out our latest and forthcoming games.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

The lead dev for this game is a bit of an arse if memory serves. The game is horribly complex and has a disgusting interface. But it is very very very open ended. It's almost like GTA in space without the senseless killing.
I played the demo a few years ago so I'm checking out the full version to see if it's improved. I'll report back.

It's what Privateer would be if a smart, intelligent person went in and made it as hard to figure out as they could.
you mean.. he had you at <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><i>FREE</i></span><!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I wanted to give it a try, but compatability modes does nothing. Not a good sign.
I have now for two years or so and played for the same number of hours.
its fun tho if you have the time to overlook the notingtodoness, the crappygraphiceyecanceress and the point that this game is not intended to make fun, but to be as realistic as possible
Edit:
Universal combat is better , buy that one if you like BCMG at least a "litle", since its cheap

Derek Smart strikes agian!
People seem to love it or hate his games; RTFM was practically invented by this guy. His work is usually as expansive as he can possibly make it, and I've used prompt based CAD programs that had fewer keystrokes to remember. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
so Win XP doesn't have hte power to support this game? *blinky*
I'm not a big fan of hardcore sims, so this won't find a home on my hard drive--when it comes to space sims, I like the relatively arcade-style feel of a game like <i>Privateer</i> or <i>X-Wing vs Tie Fighter</i>.
If you like flight sims/ultra realistic games you might like this one.
And suddenly, my desire to play this game drops to zero.
blow whole bases up, bust planets back into stoneage, the whole universe is destroyable with the right planning ^^
of course you have to face the consequences <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I think I will like this if it can get past '9999' minutes remaining...

Me too. In an attempt to find the "Quit" button, I slammed on every button....but I found the self-distruct key! Which is all I needed!
It just asks for a CD.

Maybe they didn't want to support anything made after the current version of NT without patching it first. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
They could stop the game from running by checking the NT version number of your OS. (XP is NT 5.11 iirc, but don't quote me on that)

BOOM hahaha
Oh. I hadn't thought of that.
Obvious now really...

I installed it and ran it.
Though I tried the command training and didn't get too far... I don't even know how to answer that comm message that came in. So I shot up a station.
