This looks like the right forum for this 
Well, finally got the mod running and have been doing some playing. I found one thing out rather quickly...
Combat is tough.
I spent alot of time on freelancer when it first came out, always single player though, I loved it, loved how it looked and the fun of exploring the systems. Now I know I'm out of shape as a freelancer pilot.. but man, these NPCs are insanely hard. I can stay on their tail enough to knock down their shields and then it takes some work knocking down the hull, killing them seems impossible.
I made the mistake of buying a new ship in New York, so I restarted my account and went off and found myself a Barracuda heavy Fighter, I filled every weapon slot with the best weapon I could purchase at the time, Scrambler 1s. (I never was much of a missle person) So, I have six Scrambler 1s to blast away at the enemy with, the only problem is they repair and their shields restore way too fast in combat. They can't kill me, I can't kill them, every battle is pretty much a stalemate. I have managed to kill one NPC pilot so far.
Is this just how it normally is until later in the game or should I have bought other equipment, crossfire weapons that are better than vanilla weapons maybe? I got the best I could for 150k I though. I'm currently using a heavy fighter for trading >_<.
Atleast my cargo is safe.....
I'd love to hear any suggestions and tips for a new CF player. I did a search of the forums using some key words, such as tips, but didn't come across much information.
Another thing, I see things on ASF and CSF, but I have yet to see anything that says what each of those abbreviations stand for.
It's a big mod, lots of information to absorb. I did find this in the welcoming thread, so I'll be trying to go through it. http://www.crossfire.swat-portal.de/database/forums.htm Some of the links are dead it appears though.
Last question, that link lists Crossfire ships aswell, including capital ships, are these player purchasable, or is it NPCs that use them?
Thanks for any and all tips and suggestions. Thanks for actually taking the time to read this if anyone does
See you ingame, if you see Spank flying around, that's me.
