Freelancer 2

@ OP,
Great work m8, looks well lush.
" Do it "
" Create it "
" Mod it "
" Release it "
" Love it "

As for a new name........Crossfire 2 "Continium"..I like the sound of that.

As for having the feature to build stations and have robot traders, trading for you, like the X Universe,
that sounds good, but may be difficult to code with Freelancer, If it can be done using a different engine
then that would open up all new possibilities for trading and indeed mining alike.
But i will leave that to you Mod Gods out there.

As things look so far, very impressed indeed.

Michael: Nightvision will work in space.

@ OP...Very impressive! Something to look forward too after CF 2.0 is finished. Temp name? I like either Lancer's Dream or Dreamlancer, just something to be a place holder for now.

Again, very impressive work m8!

1 word:

awsome!

And we would need people willed to work on it! So if you always wanted to develop a game - that is your chance to apply for jobs finishing it
Just sayin

how can somebody help who has no frickin' idea of how modding works, or creating things or whatever is needed to succeed Crossfire2.0? Pls need input^^
(i'd like to help, but dunno how )

Here is your opportunity to learn a new skill. Seriously.

I can "teach" you how to model Well in SketchUp, the easiest way to do it And if you have time and creativity, you can do wonders. Trust me on that

I've tried to art many times and still have no skills... And become to the usual game mapper, trigger and plot editor in "what you see - what you get" game interfaces like Serious Editor, Warcraft Editor etc... With no styling (or design, dunno what the correct word for this).

So, I can argue with that...

Sketchup4life

It takes only about 1 week tops to become pro at sketchup modelling. Try it out

Google Sketchup 8 to create complex 3D-objects? well, i'll take a look at it.

All my models that were for continuum were done in sketchup pro 8 From the simplest to the most complex one.

I made a coalition dry dock module in sketchup, but unfortunately it is unusable because it is around 36000 polygons

ugh... first actions with sketchup... what have i drawn? a penis-.-

lol...

The first thing I did with Sketchup (ketchup = ?? rlly? ) was a kind of super battleship... or mothership O.o Never finished the details of that one.

Well there are tons of tools that can ease the job on details, but ofc details are better done by your own hand.

u know how to export texture maps from sketchup?

Holy crap!!

Congratulations, my very first post on this forum is to tell you my jaw about hit the keyboard this morning when after getting an update on the SpaceX Dragon capsule's trip to the ISS, I come here and see this incredible tech demo for "Freelancer 2" start up.....I have to admit I was hoping like hell there had been some kind of Digital Anvil deal I never heard about tucked away and revealing itself now, but considering how excellent Crossfire is already, I am just as happy to hear it's a (early) WIP that I really hope you can make something out of it OP!

If it gets to the point where you could seriously have a commercial product on your hands, now is the perfect time to launch a Kickstarter as was already mentioned, interest in indie games that can fill niches the big devs are ignoring (and Space Trading and Combat sims is probablly the biggest) is huge right now, and you can easily raise a bundle to hire veteran coders and writers to flesh your project out.

Best of luck!
