  • Hi all


    Why is the SOL system so big ?


    Ok the bit with the jump gates is ok and is fun the 1st couple times, but flying from Earth to "you know where" is over 300k.
    Nothing ever happens apart from the server crashing when your 50k away from your destination. It takes 15 + minutes and it's driving me mad. I'm on my 4 attempt tonight X(


    By the way I love this mod it's the best by miles and i've played on a lot of FL mods, it's just this system waists so much time.
    If it's for some future development or there some other reason then that's fine.

  • If you`re ticked off by the size of Sol, then you have nothing lost in Altair/DK Space

    Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.


    Being a Cynic isn't that bad. Either I'm right or I am pleasantly surprised.

  • If you think thats big, go to the Inner Core, and find your way back to Sov without dying. That right there is time consuming and challenging, lol.

  • crookey, be smart and go from Saturn to "you know where" using the lane and the jumpgate, it gives you an advantage of 100 Ks... isntead of 350 Ks you make 200. Why there are so many members that don't use their minds to make it easyer and better ^^

    Sol is designed to be close to true scale for our solar system.


    So, yeah... it would take a week or so to get from Pluto to Earth without the jump gates. :)

  • lol, it would take 8 months in fact.... with good engines :P


    Anyway it was fun when it was filled with Dom kavash gunboats.... except when you was taking out a train. xD

  • @ michael


    In one of the rumors told in the bar on earth it's said, that there should be some


    "by the nomads reprogrammed coalitioncarriers still be out there.".


    Will there be missions about that later in the following of the quest be available ?


    Or was something like an encounter with them planned in the developing of CF 1.8 and then skipped ?

  • people like to ask more and more ^^


    The game has to be challenging, not boring. If you save the way right at the secret hole lost in space... how's that secret and lost ? And also it's no fun if some Altair defeners want to block that entrance by killing anyone who pass inand theese have a station right on the other side of the hole :D


    Also it's more than clear OP won't and can't work on CF right now, neither until the end of this month, and he made even a new thread for it.


    Just think a bit for more fun intead of thinking about making it easyer ^^ As then people will ask for the same on Inner core systems ? and Altair ? :P ( which btw are harder ^^ )

  • well i was thinking about newbs who are having a hard time getting to Altair sometimes. I guess it all comes back to the first goal : cooperate with friends online !

  • ummmm i thought that was what space was about the unknown seeking adventure and seeing whats around the next corner so to speak. i,ve flown across sol yep not forgetting dk gunboats dropping in ouch long way to start again but thats the game but there is a lot of other great area,s to explore and challenge a pilot in op,s creative imagination. i don,t find any of the systems boring especially those aleins in inner core yahoo back to space. NO NOT BETWEEN MY EARS EITHER LOL

  • Nah, the whole point of going to Altair is that it takes an ass load of time - it's another sector and is far away!

  • The guys in Sol weren't as smart as the GMG... just make a hypergate and rdy, you're in another system faaar faaaar away in one yank xD
