And I found something that was strange. I'm not sure if its an easter egg, or you all already know about it, but I thought it was pretty cool.

Go into a game (i was in single player, grabbing graphics for Allegiance), and press the

Pause
______
Break

button. Its to the right of "Scroll Lock" on the top row of keys. Watch what happens. I pressed it on accident, since I was blindly trying to press the "Print/Scrn" button.

I thought it was pretty cool. Different ships come up different times too. Nice feature, better than just letting it sit there idly.

Yeah, I knew about the screensaver. I didn't know there was a button to bring it up though...

What actually happens when you press it though? When I press the button, a ship appears on my screen for a split-second, then it goes back to the game. Is this the same for everyone or is my game broke? 8O :cry:

Oh, and keep watching the screensaver for the SECOND Borg Cube - it's a little bit different to the standard Cube that we all know and love...and I'm NOT talking about a tactical Cube here coz they weren't around when BOTF was created... :wink:

I knew about the screensaver. I was playing so much that I would leave my game on for days at a time.

Did not know you could access it in that manner. very cool.
