CF toolbar and Players online status

There are 30 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by Drale.

    I have installed CF toolbar which is supposed to show "players online status", but for some reason, it doesn't work :S Is it just me, or someone else have this problem?

    Don't judge a ship by the number of it's guns, but by the skill of it's crew.

    Me as well,
    they say that the thingy that collects the onlne status is "turned off".

    (" )_(" ) signature to help him gain world domination.

    I have the same problem ....online status not working.... :(


    My name is John Crichton, an astronaut. A radiation wave hit and I got
    shot through a wormhole. Now I'm lost in some distant part of the
    universe on a ship, a living ship, full of strange alien life forms.
    Help me. Listen, please. Is there anybody out there who can hear me? I'm
    being hunted by an insane military commander. Doing everything I can.
    I'm just looking for a way home.

    Solution to this problem is, log into the game, and check players online. :D
    I know you can't see their ships directly, but hey, look for them then.

    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!

    If you can't, or if you don't want to, it's ok... No biggy... I just asked because it's a nice option, and i wanted to see if it works for someone, 'cause for me it doesn't... :D

    Just to say it, i would like to see it fixed as mentioned before. If ppl see action they join in and don´t maybe play an other Game (before the question will arise, yes, there are other Games). The activity graph of CF always shows more players while the tool is active. Just my experiences - ofc. But i agree, it´s not time critical, just nice to have.

    i see it different
    if people want to see who is playing then they should go to the server, and when they are logged in the chance that they will play are relative high
    "while i am here i can play"


    checking who is online prevents that players join the server if not the "correct ppl" are online

    I do not care to see WHO is online...


    I used the tool most to determine WHAT a person is flying and their level, when determining how to help them when they ask for assistance and they are not in the same system as I am.


    I also use it as a 'barometer' for ship analysis to see what is the current popular ships out there ....

    We could offer it just for clans :)

    yeah, sure np with it - exclusion from our Main page would happen than too ofc.


    @OP
    They can also log off the Game as soon as they logged in, on the other hand it gives them the idea which char he has to long in, like no cops/pirates near this or that route, or let them see that their mates are in trouble because they are heavily outnumbered, or just gives a feeling what is ongoing when you are at work and and and. There are as much argues for and against it - at least the player count is higher when the tool is activated openly. And as a personal note i realy like that tool :)

    i am with Ben ans DW on this one. Considering people don't have just CF to do in their lives, knowing when to catch with friends is good. And there are many lazy people who will just stay off line because logging in for 3 secs to check player list is "wasted time" when you did not intended to play without your friends. I know i'm a loner and don't mind flying alone in space but i know a few people who will log-in only if they friends are around...
