Crossfire 2.0

Imagine dx11 on CF- the graphics rofl...

Yep but imagine the possibilities.
Is it even remotely possible to make FL multithreaded?

Which, there is no one left who can give that source. Even with many thousands of ppl demanding it by certain signature sites...

I dont understand WHY Microsoft doesn't want to release the source code for FL. Who buys the game anymore? Everyone uses torrents.

Microsoft was just like a funder, or supreme boss.

Digital Anvil, well, the people who created the game were PC users under the control of Battlestar Galactica guys. After BG (Blood Guard ? ) kicked them, the source was locked and no one cared about it anymore.

The copyright on the game is done, outdated, and the game is not sold anymore because it's not "copied" anymore. You can only find it at second hand places or some sites.

Fvck Battlestar Galactica guys for screwing up Freelancer.

you still can get the game on amazon for example. There are enough copies still purchasable on a legal way.
But thats not the topic here. We were looking for people willed to help. And its up to theirs choice what they want to do. There is enough

Yes, that's one of those "some sites". Still, I'm not that sure from where Amazon take their copies... original and legal copies ? No second hand or "hand" copied ? hmm As I know, FL production has stopped long ago.

and everyone would need to buy a new PC

Not me

Ubisoft... hmm, and why not continueing it ?...

Arrgh, because this is not the topic of this thread!

Just one question: Are there any time limits for the development of version 2.0? If so, please specify it.

I just was thinking about writing music for some places, but the inspiration - is something unpredictable...

Ok. Will see what we get.

I can help too however my knowlegde in computer world is limited.

Hello to all.

All know im now playing in disco. But in past, OP,i told you some ideas,but you not listen me,thats why you have so low players in game.But i can say,if you will have perfect graphic and bad idea in game,where people cant realize their ability,nobody will play in this game.

So,if some body interesting i can say what difference betwen CF and Disco:

Disco have more ideas in game,strong rules and real RP.This is hard to start,but this VERY interesting.Every house and every faction playing like in real life,speaking,moving,fighting(many lolwoots in game,but this is not problem).But disco have low grapchics,this is minus of disco.

Crossfire have good graphics,not bad story for game,good effects,but no balance.I mean,guns,energy,ships,missles,mines.

Do you remember old freelancer? It was interesting because there is no perfect weapon or perfect ship.All have their minuses.Now we have perfect ship,gun,mines.This is wrong.

Now in Disco we can build bases,upgrade them and defend them.When base have good level - we can build there factory(cloak,jumpdrives,docking module and ect). If your enemies trying to build it - this is reason for you(team,faction,house) to attack them,because if they will have cloak - this is will be very bad for you in future - they will be more powerfull than you.So people in game have reasons what to do.Base need food,water,oxygen for working,robotics,basic alloy and ect for upgrading.For this people must more trading,more traiders > more pirates > more pirates > more police activity... Game have ideas what to do in game,have some interest.Cross have only 1 idea - kill NPC or PVP.This can be interesting only 1 month - then people leaving it,because its boring.

Im sorry if i say something bad,but im trying to give you some real difference about this mods.

If you remember,in past,when i only start play here,i told you about clan wars > colonisation >base construction and ect. Now most of this part realised in disco and this is very interestin. it causes people to get the adrenaline and courage of the game. i told about balance ships and guns,categoriesd ships and other. so this is realised there too.

1 BS is heavy unit but he need escort,he has many armor,heave core and many guns(8 lvl - against fighters(fast shoting and big refire),9 - primary guns(anti-shield,primary guns) and 10 lvl very heavy(from 1 to 6 slots(very heavy guns,missles,fast heavy guns aka antigunboat). 1 bs canbe killed by 2 cruisers(can be very long)

cruiser - light,medium,heavy - support unit.can be anti cap and antifighter.have lower that BS armor,lower shield,lower core.

gunboat - antifighter or antibomber unit.most of them for patrol or for escort.

bomber - bigger than fighter,ahve slower guns,most of them anti-shield,have antimatter cannon and very heavy torps against BS and cruisers.

fighters -...hm you know them,but in game they are FIGHTER,not the death for all.

BS - armor from 600 000 to 2 000 000,shield - 450 000,core 7 000 000 - 9 000 000,guns can do damage (with big refire) 520 000 on hull)nominal refire 2.0 = 20 000 damage,range 3 k.missles - 300 000

cruiser - hull from 150 000 to 400 000.shield 250 000,core 1 000 000 - 2 250 000,guns can do damage (big refire) 150 000,nominal - 2.0,4 000 damage,range 2 k,missles - 200 000

gb - hull from 50 000 to 130 000,shield 100 000,core 300 000 - 600 000,max damage from 1 shot 45 000(forward gun),nominal refire 4.00 - 800 damage,range 1.2k

bomber - slower than fighter,shield 20 000,armor 20 000 - 30 000,max damage - (torp) 150 000,antimatter cannon - 120000,nominal guns - 4.00,damage 600.700 m range.

fighter - armore from 8 000 to 18000(superheavy fighter),have cd,missles,guns,no heavy torp and antimatter guns.But if 5 fighter will attack loneluy BS,they can kill him(if this skill fighters),this will take many time,but theycan.

Crossfire interesting because he has good story,more systems(but this is a problem too,if more systems - people cant find one another in game,if no people near - people leaving multiplayer,because this is became singleplayer).But no choice for people,we told to give Coalition ships to us, you say "no",but we need fleet,with RUSSIAN caps...not only fighters.

i can continue this,but i think you again not see this interesting.

P.S.In Disco we now have big fleet with phantom engine and jumpdrive,skill pilots,good organisation(when we all playing - we are talking in team speak for coordination in battle) and our own bases which we defending from intruders.

P.P.S.What problem i see:

Disco - very bad strategy for house leaders and for other leader of factions by their specific RP.More of them do friendship,where they cannot do this.Or simply a weak knowledge in economics and politics which do game little plastique.Low graphics in game,many systems which not using by players.Some faction have veery good ships,and this do disbalance in game,or vice versa - when faction have very simple guns without any difference like it was in old freelancer.

Crossfire - no RP,no RP ships(faction,houses,and ect) - and no idea what to do...only killing tonns of NPC - this is too boring.If you want more players in game - you must give them some real power or contest, but not race around and hunt for the nomads.Give them control of territory,give them power to do laws of this territory.Some good trade route.When only 1 house have exclusive material.Many system,monopoly on game story,without any roleplay for players or thier factions in story.People want to do something,do some little bussines in game or little war.People cant be friends to all,cant be big family...and this is boring,this is creating burocraty in game.Bad balance of ships(very bad).When 1 fighter can kill BS - this is nonsense! This is like human with revo can destroy heavy tank,or little boat with machine guns can destroy big carrier full of aircraft and heavy guns.

My ideas not ravings of an abnormal,this is all realised.And that why disco have 225 players online.

Sorry for my bad english.

If you have time,look this fight.

You will fell difference.

Turel mode fying,different types of guns(antishield,primary,heavy),fighting against bombers and BS on cruiser.Very skill fight.
