Hello all!
Ive been a huge fan of FL since it came out and I never had a chance to play it online till few weeks ago when I installed this mod.
Before this I've played Discovery and that was a nice mod, but what you people did here is fantastic! I couldn't expect more than this!
During this time I've talked to lost of people who helped me in various ways. Community is great and I feel kinda down that this mod isn't more popular.
But... there are some downsides..
Until I got to IC with my friend everything was nice and smooth but then I saw some things that make me wanna leave this game.
My tops reasons for leaving games is in the first place glitches can (easily) be fixed but for some reason they aren't, and in IC I found few.
1. Dock gates are not marked. Ok this is kinda problem and irritates people that are new to IC till they get to Weth. But they can be learned and that's not big of a deal later but I just cant see the point of going trough 3 system just to be killed at 4th because you missed dock direction.
2. Dock glitches. This is a BIG problem. Numerous times I died cos docking glitched. Moving trough gates to be stucked in "cinematic" for 2 minutes or ship refusing to dock till he makes 10 loops. This kind of things makes me frustrated in place like IC where I have to hunt aliens for 1h just to die cos of stupid glitch.
3. We all know how fighting aliens is hard if you are alone. At first it seemed like it should be that way but yesterday(or 2 days ago) a server crashed for 1 min so friend and I got reconnected just after he went online (we were first 2 people on it). In next 5-10 minutes we killed 8 Savage ships like they were nothing. I was very surprised to see that but then I remembered how some "older" players that were with us hunting for last 3-4 days said there is a lot of lag especially when it looks like those ships are unable to die(be hit by guns). The time passed by and we again had more and more trouble killing them and all went to usual 10-15 min battles.
So I'm asking, is there no way for docking to be fixed? (Somehow i think that armor inertia might might have its hands in this and that "autopilot" doesn't calculate it when it docks)
Why is there so much lag (especially during events) when there are always less then 40 people which is not much?
This mode is great but I don't feel good when I hunt ships for 1 hour (that without lag I can hunt down faster) just to die in cinematic while I dock at going back to Weth. It frustrates me, and my friend.
Did you made peace with it or am I wrong or maybe this will be fixed in the future?
