ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ARE YOU SURE CAPTAIN? (Y/N) [N] Yes

You issue the command to your Ship computer to start the Corbomite
self-destruct system. All of your crew jettison in escape pods, but you,
the captain, remain behind with your vessel. You stand proud on the
wretched remains of the bridge of your ship as the count down finishes:


In a nearby sector, a Federation Patrol Ship notices a brilliant star
suddenly flare and then die out in the distance......
Your Colonial Transport has been destroyed!
Your *** Escape Pod *** has been destroyed!

You will have to start over from scratch!
Maybe you'll have better luck with a different ship!

and on this note, I ask for a change to the ability to cby. I ask that it requires the input of the game pw to officially cby. this could lead to the end of the majority of accidental cby's. I know for a fact it would have in this occurance. it will also stop spouses who know enough about the game from freeing up there significant others time to go see movies/etc.(not that its happened to me YET, but I know she's smart enough ;))

I remember playing a game with doctor who way back when, we were sitting on a planet getting ready to invade someone, and all of a sudden I see his ship explode into a brilliant fireball. Same thing happened to him that happened to you. Sucks :/

so could you talk to jp about inplementing this new cby protection for v4? I'd appreciate it :)
Author:  MOOSE [ Sat Oct 30, 2004 11:03 am ]

i agree i have done the same thing and died , having a pw to cby sounds like a good idea . but then we couldnt trick the newbies into blowing themselfs up [:D]
Author:  Slim Shady [ Sat Oct 30, 2004 11:48 am ]
Post subject: 
lol. there is an easy solution rather than putting in a cby password.
dont do newbie things like what you did :P

heh

i'd prefer no cby password, as i enjoy being able to cby fast if the need arises. i also prefer to laugh at people who accidentally cby :)

I would really prefer not to have password protected CBY. I would be forced to setup macros for games to cby, which is a pain in the Butt. In a death limited game, CBYing isn't a bad thing.

dont EVER ctrl v ANYTHING into ANY com and ANY TIME or you may get a message like this:



I just wish that JP would change the key strokes to beam out of a citadel, or change the self destruct. While I haven't done it in a while, I've been known to forget I was at a computer prompt in the cit and blown myself up trying to go to dock or something.

The same keystrokes that let you do this from the planet prompt:
Planet command (?=help) [D] C
<Enter Citadel>
There are no other Traders in the Citadel.
Citadel treasury contains 15 credits.
Citadel command (?=help) B
You enter your ship as the conveyor drones position the ship on the
immense transport pad. The huge transference generators engage...
This transporter has a range of 4 hops.
Beam to what sector? (U=Upgrade Q=Quit) 1677
Sector 1677 is 1 hops away from here.
Locating beam pinpointed, TransWarp Locked.
All Systems Ready, shall we engage? Yes
Sector 1677 is 1 hops away from here.
Sector : 1677 in uncharted space.
Fighters: 1 (yours) [Defensive]
Warps to Sector(s) : (136) - (1057) - 3922 - (4348)

Kil you from the cit prompt.
Citadel treasury contains 15 credits.
Citadel command (?=help) C
<Computer>
<Computer activated>
Computer command [TL=00:00:00]:[3922] (?=Help)? B
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ARE YOU SURE CAPTAIN? (Y/N) [N] Yes <--ignores 1677
You issue the command to your Ship computer to start the Corbomite self-destruct system. All of your crew jettison in escape pods, but you,the captain, remain behind with your vessel. You stand proud on the wretched remains of the bridge of your ship as the count down finishes:
In a nearby sector, a Federation Patrol Ship notices a brilliant star
suddenly flare and then die out in the distance......
Your Merchant Cruiser has been destroyed!
Your *** Escape Pod *** has been destroyed!

I would at least ask that JP makes a change to the way CBY behaves so that if ANY key besides "y" is pressed, it aborts the self destruct sequence.

Traitor - I'm disapointed in you. While the 1677 is ignored, the enter is not. When you hit enter at that Y/N prompt, No is the default. You can not self destruct trying to use the planetary transport unless you're pressing the wrong keys anyway.

I tried to duplicate that without success, Telix, Zoc and Qmodem. What do you use to connect? I suspect that it is your terminal program, not TWGS, that is at fault.

Thanks for the BSS in the capfile/log, btw, we didnt have that one, evil grin.

k3. what if he is using CN9 all keys and sends the macro. would the enter then abort a display and the Y then would fall onto the Y/N prompt? i never use CN9 all keys so i dont know.

if you used y instead of enter, you would never ever beam anywhere, but you would always cby :)

Slim - no. With cn9 at all keys, every key gets interpreted by the TWGS, nothing *just* halts disply unless it does nothing else. Speed Demon - Tweety did that once when I was corping with him. He had a script to turn the IG back on when he was photoned but unfortunately he was at the computer prompt when he was photoned. Personally, I think people just need to be more careful.
