DATASTORM Illegal?

There are 20 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by Bond.

    I was talking to someone today on the server who mentioned it was a useful tool. I am curious if this tool is allowed.?


    What I really want is an offline tool to see the places I have visited and to help me work out new trade routes for myself as I explore them, but only if I am allowed?

    datastorm doesn't work really well with CF cos many systems are stacked on top of each other.
    Also, you don't need it :)


    Use FL Companion or smth like that if you really need

    FL companion is legal? (paranoid about an IP ban here)

    If you really want to stay on the safe side - Explore & memorize. Make notes, if it helps...

    Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    Thanks OP, I guess that says it all.


    I also heard that DATASTORM is not going to be usable in 1.8 - so those that use may find that it doesnt work in 1.8. (rumor from ingame player - OP may wish to confirm this?)


    I am intrigued by this base that gives a PW for a forum Thread(?), I guess I'll have to hunt it out some day.


    Thanks for the Spoiler Zoop, not much there as you said but useful to know for when it develops - maybe some of you seasoned players would like to input on the wiki for newbies like me to read? I know I would use it.

    it shouldnt work for 1.7 already since it shouldt be able to access neccessary files... but there was a new release meanwhile so i am not 100% sure yet
    If I can block it then I will do it for sure for CF1.8

    It's not a forum thread, it's one of the links on the CF server homepage (I think there is also a link on the Portal homepage). You can go to the link without the PW, you just won't get any info without it... ;)

    FYI:
    (sorry for those who use it) there are people successfully using Datastorm on the server atm. I wont name names, but they use it.


    And OP, could you make a legal basic mod like FL companion for us? It sure would be nice to be able to look at info we have collected (with our exploring) without base ideling for ages. I like to plot courses and check info on places I have been and cool things I have found. As well as notes on clans and other tidbits of info like that. Maybe just a mod that shows the map and allows adding notes to any point on the map?


    Cheers,

    Ive been using it for 5 years and still never get tired of the game.


    If you do block it, it will work with another update....Like always.
    Also it can help with modders to find errors

    I really don't see the point, all you need to have that information is to build a store which has been in every single base the Mod, get the most profitable itens (90% BMG) and keep it docked as your personal database, the database should be earn rather then given by a side program.

    ehm.. I'm already bored with exploring. I hate running around for hours on end just to find a trade route. I don't have spare time for it.


    I've pretty much gone to 12 systems, and called it quits on exploring cause most systems have lvl 19 npc's which I run from rather then fight.... I'm not a superskilled pilot to take on 5 missile-spamming 1/4th shield-killing npc's heh


    ----


    Not to mention I wanted to actually continue exploring only if NPC's weren't a threat.. so I decided to check on a cruiser or gunboat.. ya'know, something cheap but strong enough armor so i don't have to stress so much..


    No. The cruisers have nice armor, no bots/bats, no shields, and their guns aren't even up to standards. These are like super heavies on crack. I personally can't classify them as capital ships

    because you probably don´t know how to use them.


    You surely do not need a CapitalShip to explore without stress.


    1. Tip fix your Rep
    2. Tip blast the NPC
    3. Tip without exploring you will not know the fixed Trade routes
    4. Tip group up with others if you play MP
    5. Tip without exploring you will not find better Capital Ship Turrets
    6. Tip 12 Systems explored, 108 left
