Suggestions for Crossfire 2.0

Quite simple solution in SP, "explore" NY system, and look for a good trade. At least once in the game - at the beginning - you should try living as a trader

You WILL find a trade that gives you in 3 - 5 runs or even less the required -what was it - 80 k ?? credits to continue. The rhino's good enough for that.

With the starting money you actually should be able to finance a new fighter and get better guns which help during the first missions.
Next to that do missions reward more money in the mod than the original game, plus it has a dynamic economy... black market goods, mining, the chance to sell escape pods to prisions and alot more.

If the fights appear too hard you probably should watch the combat guides which show that the fights are actually pretty easy.

Hi Vris
The SF files harder at times but i,m with OP on this. It is hard to balance the content end i know it files a bit of grinding but at same time you dont want to go true the content in 1 h end be lvl 10 in 3 h. Consider do some trading. Explore a bit..also check SF wiki..you mind found it very helpful xD( Thx Martind ) xD
Now ..us far of suggestions ...well is a bit of hard topic ...
I,m sure many people want 2.0 to be release ..last night..but at same time we all want this to be the best Freelancer Mod ..ever. End sins it will be the final mod the better is done ..the better of all of us..
Personally ..after looking of all the new stuff in 2.0..i,m not sure what more could be done ... spatially it is all made with out original source code end it is stile the best looking mod by far.
After all said end done i think there is just one thing missing here....long range mission end escorts. I remember i played one mod maybe 6, 7 years ago ( dont remember the name)..it was OK mod ..nothing spatial but had that one feature that made the game play just awesome. ( imagine you get a mission on Crate to go destroy a base in Corsair space) brilliant ..or you get to escort a trader from liberty to Britannia ....Oh yea ..end there was that hidden quest...Ah...Some times i wish i,m OP
Don't worry ..i,m not asking for that ...just talking out loud..

i played the SP-story just 2 weeks ago and did not make any mission to come to higher level
in fact, u only need to kill some npc-s from time to time, take their pods and sell them in any prison.
ok, to start again: i am sure u have some of those pods. go to the new Crossfire-system with the name Custodian. u will find the gate to Custo in New York between planet Manhattan and the Colorado jumpgate. go there, find the next jumpgate to X3043, then go to Neophobos and sell the pods in that prison there. u get enough credits to buy a better ship. i prefer the Black Eagle which u get in Custodian at planet Blood. take the class 8 weapons there and u have a nice ship, that lets u easily finish the whole freelancer vanilla story. after that u have enough credits to buy better ship and equipment, that u will need for the new Crossfire-story.

isnt the prison in texas closer?

It is closer, but ... until lvl 4 "unreachable".

Strangly, the Custodian gate is STILL open in lvl 2 and 3.
Even after several de-/reinstallation procedures .

i have a little idea , i notice on CF are 3 gamemode when u get some pvp kills like '' rampage'' , '' runs amok'' , ''godlike'' it is not possible for 2.0 to add some sounds too when players go on rampage and so on , i mean when i go on rampage i want to hear a sound with rampage word , i think this will be very cool imo , i saw this on others mods so is possible but dunno how hard its do that (how much work) , take this asa a sugestion only .

here some sounds sample : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwa6J81RrZM

i made a small video about this

[video]

dont would add it as we are playing freelancer and not duke nukem, it somehow does not fit to the game

u say, it dont fit with this game , but those gamemode alredy exits on CF as console messages but yeah no sounds, anyway i undestand ... thx

There is an ANS Yamato holograph but i also would like to see other big oldschool ships such as ANS Washington/Victorious. is it possible to bring it to crossfire? that would be really cool.

possible, yes
but not on our priority list

oh.

anyways, i asked it because the only reason i went to crossfire and not discovery was because crossfire had ships like ANS Yamato and Shroud. of course, i am grateful that this mod has already a lot of good SL fighters. so if the other SL ships (carriers) would come (which are lorefriendly), maybe it would attract the SL players who didn't played crossfire yet and wish certain carriers ingame like my brother does.

.

Flak, isn't it a Czar-class carrier?

yes
Coalition Carrier "Gorshkov" under command of Natasha Kamenev (CF 2.0 storyline)
but you can encounter this and other "new" and graphically pimped Coalition ships as normal system encounters too

Shouldn't her surname be "Kamneva"? (Russian feminine and masculine surnames have different ending, and "Kamenev" is actually masculine one, and the closest real surname is "Kamnev(a)". And it should be Natalia if we'll get to it as "Natasha" is diminutive, just saying).

yeah, whatever

Yes, Czar is a great beast but it is not the carrier i talked about anyways thanks i am looking forward for the 2.0 update
