their is a clan system, am i forced to join one?
is the main point the pvp?
is it the league?
why is the ingame chat so silent?
i need something to aim for, what is it in this mod?

There are as many clan systems as there are server clans, all of whom pay real $$ to set the rules in their home system (& support the Crossfire server). Nobody is forced to join a clan...

PvP is one of the top features of CF, with many scheduled events for the best FL pilots to compete with each other. But PvP is still not the main thing...

Hmmm.... dunno about the league; I think that's been inactive for some years now.

Something to aim for is to discover the 100% larger universe in CF (compared to FL), and all the unique features that take many pages to describe. 100's of custom ships, new alien races, quests, expanded storyline, new weapons, trade goods, etc., etc. From your post, it is apparent you haven't explored outside the vanilla FL systems yet...

As for ingame chat, do you ever hail anyone? Most of the regulars here are chatterboxes; if you get invited into a group, you'll have no time for gameplay...! There are so many rivalries, most clan members do not use the system channel, but hardly anyone here will refuse am honest question.

If you've played many Freelancer mods before, M8, then how can you be a newcomer to role play? Do other mods have no role play? Seriously, I'm asking cause I've never played any other mod but Crossfire..

But the point here is to have fun. You can be whatever your heart desires.. smuggler, cop, pirate, mercenary, or none of these, if you want to strictly stick to trading..

Yes, we have clans in Crossfire. And no, you are not required or forced to join any of them. Doesn't mean they won't try to recruit you sooner or later, but a polite 'no thanks' is all thats required if you are not inclined to join.. you can be just as successful as a freelancer or a member of a clan.

PVP is a large part of the fun on our server, and some players will provoke you just to have PVP.. but again, it is your choice to engage in PVP. The other major fun is the events.. we have server-wide ASF/CSF, which is a week-long event. You can read more about it here in our forums. Theres also the Nomad Hunt, Total Death Match, Top Gun, Race events & my personal favorite, Smuggler Hunt.

I dont know what you mean by league.. but we are all friends here (outside of our role play, of course).

Ingame chat isn't really silent M8.. if you've not been here long, I guess it can seem that way. We usually like to let new players get acquainted with CF in peace and find their way around. Of course, if you have questions, just ask anyone in-game and we'll be glad to help.

BTW, if you get lonely, just strike up a conversation with one of us.. we'll talk, believe me!

As for aims, well, that depends on what you want to do.. Do you want to be the richest guy on the server? The best cop? Or a corrupted one? The player with the most frags? The most feared pirate in space? The merc with the most contracts? Or the most elusive smuggler to hit Sirius?

The role play and the goal is yours to choose...

And CA is right, exploring all the different systems is half the fun too..

Hope to see you soon in space!

in the news in any bar you can find a short story about a system named Death Valley and some hints to find it... there starts the quest
