CF under attack

I guess that little stupid kid with his elegant writing will shut up now

Oh, let him talk he will drow in his on shits

In my experiences with individuals such as that young man, most likely his entire world is centered around online-activities that preclude him from any real-world interaction.

I'm willing to bet he is a member of Discovery, maybe even with rank.

If that's the case then discovery must really be afraid of losing people when 1.8 hits the net.

No one will find a better mod then CF and that's all there is to it.

Hmmmm Jack you speak truth. But then again that's when and IF CF 1.8 gets release.

I think you (OP) mentioned that your leaving the FL community etc. at the end of the year to have more room in your own Real Life, if I'm not mistaken.
In that sense I see 2 possibilities happening all pointing at 1.8.

1) OP decides to release 1.8 as he steps down as head of the FL community (sad that this will happen but all good things comes to an end i guess)

2) OP gets attacked, CF 1.8 vanishes and it never gets out.

I am sorry for saying this but, CF 1.8 is infact the biggest mod ever, and there is still much much more being added to it. Thus the reason why not 1 release date was accurate when it was announced 2 years ago at first. (cant believe its been that long oO)

Which is why I think option 1 is most likely to happen.
But lets not forget how suck ass life can really get, thus making option 2 the most likely to happen reality wise.

Anyways, hope the 1.8 project is still going through ok, cant wait to see it available to download

EDIT: I hope I am getting through to you by what I just stated OP.

"The dogs may bark, but the caravan moves on..."

Bubb9 has been a thorn in the FL's side for a while (he's not from Disco). He is an arrogant little kid who thinks he knows everything (His brain is probably froze since he lives in Alaska). He has pulled this stuff on my server in the past (Which I banned him for) and probably others as well.

Well, he is registered since that same day, 07 May... he just registered to sh*t-talk.

His IP should be banned from the moddb site...

Oh well... trolls will be trolls, eh?

Until VERSION 2.0 ?! COOL, if 1.8 is so good, then 2.0 could be called FL "2" himself

PS: actually FL CF 1.8 culd be as FL 2 also. but FL CF 2.0 would be/seem more like it

My sentiments exactly, just drop the "Crossfire" name altogether and just name the mod, Freelancer 2!

Another working title I had in mind: Galaxylancer, since OP has two, possibly three major sections of the KNOWN Milky Way Galaxy mapped out in Crossfire 1.7. (i.e. Sirius sector, Sol and nearby stars i.e. "the Sol Sector" and the Altair sector)

Sorry if this seems offtopic, but here goes...

Further expounding the idea goes like this:

Starlancer centered around the Sol system with humanity in a massive solar system-wide civil war.

Freelancer centered around the remnants of the fleeing Alliance from Starlancer and creating a new region of human populated space, creating the new "Houses" of the Sirius Sector. This is also where humanity comes into it's first extraterrestial contact, albiet it's rather hostile and the Sirius houses barely survive from it.

Galaxylancer can center around what Crossfire is already concentrating on, judging from what I've seen and heard from OP's ideas and work of CF1.8. Humanity is spreading further out into the Milky Way, the Sirius houses reuniting with the remant Coalition brothers and yet coming in contact once again with a very old and very powerful alien race who are threating to destroy ALL of humanity. This forces a final cease-fire forever between the age old Alliance, i.e. Sirius houses and the Coalition of Altair for the sake of all humanity. During this they return to the Sol sector of space to find a deserted Sol system and continue further exploration of the Sirius and Altair sectors while battling the hostile alien races and attempting to befriend the newer discovered alien races.

To give everyone a idea just how big our real life galaxy is, I found a map of just how little Crossfire has theoretically covered so far. See if you can find Sirius and Altair on the map, this is just our "Local Stellar Neighborhood":

It's a very logical and expected progression of humanity's progress among the stars and across the Milky Way while in keeping with Starlancer and Freelancer's storylines, while adding new, adaptable elements to it. With all that said, hats off to you OP, I can tell you've put alot of though into Crossfire in that respect.

Again, sorry for the seemingly long-winded off-topic post folks, but I've thought about this ever since I found Crossfire and kept up with the story line of Starlancer, Freelancer and Crossfire and wanted to share my thoughts and that I feel this mod is really becoming what OP and many others will hope it will become, in essence what we've all wanted, a Freelancer 2 or "Galaxylancer" if you will. Perhaps I should put this post in a new thread instead...

I searched through both the active and banned members on the Discovery forums and haven't found any name similar to this guy. If anyone happens to get his IP address somehow, please, send it my way.

We do have a registered member named Thorn on Discovery forums, but he's never made any post so I guess he's inactive.
