Newbie looking for some answers (SP)

    Hello,


    first i'd like to thank the whole team very much. Crossfire is a piece of art and i'm glad, you guys support the game all these years after it's release. I was recently reminded by by a friend who played Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, that Freelancer existed and after a few minutes i got here. After the first few problems with the install, i got everything working and played a bit SP. But some questions remained. I hope, this is the right place.


    But another thing before my questions: please try to understand my point of view. I work a lot and usually play a game to enjoy myself. I play exclusively SP at the moment. And sorry if i'm spelling or typing something wrong. English isn't my natural language.


    - Ships: I found a list with the new ships (
    http://www.crossfire.swat-portal.com/?page_id=41511 ) but could it be, that this list is incomplete? I read in the forums something about a Black Eagle, saw a few lines in the link before but there is no entry with "eagle" or "black" in the long list of ships.


    - Ships 2: Where can i buy all the new ships? I'm a little bit lost. Hundreds of new ships and no info, where i could buy a specific model. I don't want to avoid exploring, but it's just sooo much and a little help would be great.


    - Ingame-font: I have trouble reading the special font ingame. Is the font coupled with the UI? I'm using the Modern Crossfire Gold atm. Can i revert the font back to the original or another, easier to read font?


    - Licences: I found this as possible equipment slot on my ship. What exactly is this?


    That's should be everything. Thanks again for this great modification.

    HI,


    concerning ships, the list you posted is very old, have a look at the Lexicon. Some hints for locations are given there as well. If you need any more PM me, i might have it written down somewhere.


    Licenses are only needed for multiplayer, no need to concern yourself with them right now.


    Characters: SA_WHISKY and all simlar (SA_something_WHISKY)

    Thanks for the hint, it helped a lot.


    But that generated a new question. Can i go "now" into the CF sectors or do i need to progress into the CF story? (now would be around mission 06 in normal Single Player) I' asking because i found the Gate in New London, but couldn't activate it.

    Hello,


    in SP (vanilla miission) you can go where you can unless are some gates blocked. In new missions (after vanilla end) I suggest better follow missions path preciselly, because is chance you can miss 'waypoint' where is activated next new mission part.


    And for question about font, please try search here for 'replace font' or similar. Exist easy way how to use original fonts in CF. I can't search it now, but will add link evening.
