Missions/Quests

possible yes
but from the feedback so far people complained about quests where they had to travel that long

I would love these types of missions as well.

If people complain .. just put them In front of my C(g)ayman and I will torture them by stripping naked and dancing the cha cha

oh god... wouldnt want to see that

I can see a nice group mission I like it , this can even turn into a event even. just a though however I am not a programer so I dont know much space and playing time will it need just for one mission and how will affect the rest of the server and other player who do not do mission .

Just my two cents worth but I also enjoyed the longer
quests/missions. If the time it takes is a complaint, what about
increasing the cruise speed if that is possible. I note that regardless
of the ship you fly, max speed at cruise is 450. Maybe bump that to 900.
I also don't know if this is by design or ??? but the Coalition and DK
trade lanes are at 3500 while the Sirius lanes are 2500. Can the Sirius
lanes be bumped up or is that a limitation of FL? Don't know some of the
background, just throwing ideas (maybe old) out there. OK, I'll shut up
now and go back to what I was doing.

it is not intented to do changes here... this would change the entire balance of the game

especially tradelanes do

My 2 cents

Tradelanes shouldn't be faster because it would make the use of other routs completely useless. Example: if smuggler is using uber fast tradelanes then no Cop/Pirate/Merc would be able to use the jumpholes to try and gain ground while pursuing a RP target. We definitely don't need things that interfere with RP balance.

Quote from Cresthen

Tradelanes probably won't... It's a nice idea to make them faster. Is 2500 the speed of vanilla TLs?

As you all know by now , I like variety, Sooooo I have 1 or 9 mods installed on my computer.

There is one I have recently tried called New Universe, the Tradelanes on there go at a speed of 10,000.

Mad I say....MAD!!!

2,500 is fast enough for me.....

Hey Cygna, been looking for you on CF this weekend. Must have missed you online. Anyway, as you know, I'm not a fan of trade lanes and I've been on New Univese too but I have to say that I do like the trade lane speed and the idea of using vertical trade lanes. You don't see that every day.

Anyway, I finally got around to spend a bit more time on CF and I do like it a lot. Within the first 20 minutes, someone gave me some hints and prisoners to trade in. He also transferred some money into my bank to help me get going. As they say, first impressions count and I had a very good first impression. Not something you see on many mods these days.

So, I'm looking forward seeing you all out there somewhere.

Hey there Crusader,

LOL, yeah we keep on missing each other.
OK, spent over 8 hours gameplay on New Universe and I must admit there are a lot of areas that need sorting out,
regards to info cards and oc Commodities or the lack of in a lot of the Stations.
Vertical tradelanes I thought was a clever idea, but it can sometimes be hard to find them if they are 40k up or down.
But still fun and different, I like different..

Crossfire will always be my home, as its the only Mod that continues with the storyline, and oc the Innercore systems
WoW they are a sight for anyone's eyes.
A lot of work has gone into this project and a lot of coffee consumed and long hours to make it possible, which I am truly thankful
to OP and the Dev team for doing so, Its a pity that some ppl can't see this.

Crossfire stands out above the rest, I get fed up with people trying to compare it with other Mods, Disco being one, but what OP
is trying to do is to make this Mod unique and to be honest, he has done that.
We DON'T want another Disco Clone.

Ok, there may not be many ppl online, this could be bc of many reasons, the SP/OSP option for one, perhaps Crossfire 2.0 should
be MP only like a lot Mods out there, this means they have to play it online or not, but I feel OP doesn't want this as he hope's,
we all hope that ppl will come online after their SP adventure for more nail biting stuff.
Also holidays, deaths,births and marriages,exams, and other real life stuff, will effect online activity, and oc , the leavers.
But to be honest, if Crossfire would go, I would be proud to have the SP version installed on any of my computers, Always..
So lets hope it doesn't.

*** See You In Space ***

Couldn't agree more Cygna. I played through the SP missions and loved what OP has done to extend it. Also the visuals are extremely well made, even though my laptop is not quiet up to it and I have to turn the performance options way down to make the game play smooth. Unfortunately the laptop is my only option at the moment as I'm on the road a lot on business.
I would never compare mods with each other as each one has it's unique way. Some are better some are worst. Crossfire will definitely be staying on my computer until the day I'm to old to carry on playing

I can't wait to see what Crossfire 2.0 has in store and also looking forward to Freelancer 2 OP is working on.

Cya all in space.

In game chars so far: Brother-Cavil , Gwydion

About missions: ImO missions are the easiest and fastest way to fill pocket with money. Any newcomer who ask me how to make some money I tell about missions and pod selling on prisons...

However if missions would contain more waypoints, more enemies in exchange for more money ... it would be excellent!

About quests: yes, quests took some time. I loved it! More quests = more pleasure!

About speed: everything is good.

About first impression: finally a positive reflect and thank you about it mate! We (all experienced) must help newcomers to start playing the game. Only this way we can make them fall in love with CF.

I agree with the missions. They easy enough to make money and should be achievable by any newcomer with a half decent ship. Especially in the Vanilla systems. For more experienced players, more complex missions with bigger pay outs would be a nice addition.
Speed is indeed fine. I just mentioned this earlier as it does feel like a roller coaster at times zooming in a trade lane with a speed of 10 000.
I'm an old-timer on some mods and I always try to help newcomers out whenever I can. So it is refreshing to come to this mod and experience the same welcome. This unfortunately is a rare occurrence in most mods these days. I already liked CF playing the SP missions and this welcome was the icing on the cake for me. Don't expect to get rid of me that easy from now on

to clarify it:
the new mission system offers a higher variation of missions, missions are more difficult, mission reward is higher, more missions are offered on ALL the bases
more can not be done

Thanks for the update OP. I'm looking forward trying these out.

Crusader
When I am online, I will help you and give you a Special guided tour. " wink.wink"
I will be on this weekend, see you in space.

Cygna

Thanks Cygna, I will be on a business trip to Germany next week, leaving Sunday, so the earliest I can be online is Sunday late afternoon from my Hotel. Cya then mate.
