Need help

with the CF mod NPC's

repair quickly...its natural to the mod.

Is there a way to change it??

I've finished a mission, taken

me about half an hour, and it takes a long time to kill a ship.
It really takes the fun

out of it. I was half through a mission then decided thats that and stopped the game.

buy an adv. stunpulse to

take out there shields

crossfire was designed for those players that are bored with the

normal FL

those guys are experienced pilots and have no problem with killing npc

in crossfire the npcs are very hard and a challenge even to good pilots

if

you have problems to kill those ships ask experience pilots or ask them to train you

I too have started a

single player game and got through the first missons only to find that i can't even kill a

Bloodhound. i have been playing this game for a year now so i think i am a fairly good

player. maybe i just need a bigger gun. (or 2, or 3)

this is the first time i have

tryed to use the multi-player for the game and i am having some issues in getting the global

sever to connect. ( read an earlier thread about setting my firewall ports to 2300-3400).

not sure how to do it right, so anyone that can help me i would greatly appreaciate

it.

I hope to join the MP games as soon as i can.

Thanks! [11]

Killing the ships in

the "Story Line" missions is okay. Like it that way.

But once you have to make money

by going on missions before the next "Story Line" mission is the problem. I have to fight a

ship for at least ten-fifteen minutes before I kill it. It looks like they (ships) got a

huge amount of nanobots and shield batteries. Also when they run out of sheild batteries and

their shields go off line, when it comes on line again they have more than half of their

shield back again

That 's while playing in single player mode. I haven't tried the

multiplayer mode yet.

I do consider myself fairly good at the game. Been playing it,

on and off, for over two years now.

I have to say I have the same

problem...Except for one thing. I HAVE hit the enemy's hull, after trying to deplete their

shields for 5 minutes, and the game made a weird sound, recording no hull damage.

i have tested it yesterday and even if

it took long i was able to kill those npcs without getting much damage on my ship

The missions can be done, so far till the point i am, i am doing sp at

a times, call me nostalgic.
Some missions are a bit harder bcz the npcs, witch is good so

they are not so easy, good fl and cf knowledge helps. Well i am doing story line, i want to

see how far i can go with my dagger (got it just as i had the lvl for it).

About "i

am a good player", if meaning fighter, well compared to what, i dont think of my self as a

good fighter, and i dont have any problem with those npcs but a bit more time to wipe them

out (time can be critical in some missions, thought)

EDIT: Yes OP it can be long if

you are using "standard procedures" but, with the rhino there is money (cf trades), and

full of best turrets and 3 javelins, those npcs dont last for that long, most dont have time

to reload. After that, the dagger, adv stunpulse and other low rate high damage weap do the

trick. Well, ill see if i go further.

I

had the same problem myself. It is really annoying, at least at the beginning, when you are

still flying a Starflyer and have no-good guns. I survived without much problems, but it

took me about 10 to 15 minutes to take down those damn ships in the missions. Since then I

only take missions where you only have to kill one guy (assassinations and the

like...)

I scanned the enemy ships in combat. They all have 100 Shield Batteries and

100 Nanobots. Personally, I think this is a little unfair, considering that I can't

take that much. To make it fairer, the enemy ships should only be allowed as much SBs and

NBs as their ship can acctually take, then we would be on an even level.

And, as I

said, it really gets annoying to play it in a Starflyer. In MP you have at least more money

and can buy a better ship and better weapons right at the beginning, but in SP, you have

this damn Starflyer, shitty guns and not much money.

As for my experience: I play

Freelancer since two or three years, so I would consider myself a fairly good pilot. Altough

personally I have a grudge against missiles, I don't no why. Somehow I just don't trust

them and rather like to use my guns. Perhaps it is because I like to have my enemies always

in front of me, I don't know. But that is just me...

P.S.: In the description at

the Lancer Reactors it was said that CF has Open SP. Didn't see much of that. What happened

to it?

P.P.S.: Oh yes, and there was a mentioning of two new stories. Are those only

available in SP? And how does one star them?

Amen, Darnac!!

While I admire all that it takes to mod any program, I am having

the same problems you are in SP. After a 12 hour work day, it really depresses me to

discover that my crossfire 1.5 mod prevents me from making any headway against the 100/100

nano/battery NPCs. I guess I'll have to wait until 1.52 or higher until the problem is

corrected or at least an option is created to allow a more "realistic" ammount of NPC

resources.

If (or when) this occurs, could it be posted at Lancers Reactor ? I

was looking forward to enjoying a whole new universe (or at least a bigger sector) and the

failure (probably mine, not the mod programers) to being able to play SP crossfire 1.5

really has me down!

Thank you!

if you had looked in other threads you

would have seen that this nano and bot change was for multiplayers who thought the npcs were

too easy. Also if you looked you would have seen that a new version patch (is it a patch?)

of CF 1.5 is coming out in a few weeks that has the corrected codes for SP.

thank you

and have a nice day

That's what I like to see; a quick and concise reply

with only a dash of sarcasm. Thanks for the help. Both my son and I look forward to the

updated SP version!

...I now return to work! *sigh*

the CF1.51 code which is on my HDD already has readjusted bots/bats
the NPCs

use the max bots/bats which the ship can carry and not more (this means a starflyer will

only have 10 and the titan can have upto 78 bots/bats)
