Gurm

    Hi,


    I've recently started exploring again, and discovered a JG in Styx to Mandar, and from there 2 other JG... I went to Gurm.


    Now, when I arrived there, I saw these MASSIVE weapons platform (got killed by one too, later) and some planets (very far away).


    Now, there is one frustrating thing tho: the trip from Sol to Styx is way boring, and when you finally get to Gurm, there is nowhere to land!!! Or if there is, its probably hostile cuz its Coalition stuff...


    Now I got killed by a weapons platform (got too close, and it has some kinda railgun... anyways. My ship went: shields failed, and then boom)...


    So, is there anywhere a station which I can land at except in Styx where the base is Admin / SP, so that I can save my game and not have to do the trip Earth - > Dimensional Rift over and over?

    Nope, not yet :evil: Altair is a giant hostile cul-de-sac...bring your lunch and your posse! CF 1.6 (If you have been watching the thread :rolleyes: ) will likely change that...

    Is it just me, or are there too many of those stations in Altair? Are they going to be dockable in 1.6 too, or are they just there to deter marauding? They're nearly the size of planets; maybe a few should be replaced by regular bases and others with navigational hazards (a few jump holes wouldn't hurt either). I can nod off for an hour or so during a cruise through Altair space and not have left the system map... I don't mind the vast distances, but perhaps there should be things to distract from those expanses.

    Yeah, and if JHs are too hard to code, just tradelanes. At least that'll cut down on the long runs for, well, basically nothing... :D


    Anyways... I guess for now I'll keep exploring the other systems.

    I know about the cannons, I was just curious to see if they worked... I wasn't suprised I got blown to smithereens.


    Anyways, how do you get to Altair? Is it through Gurm? Or that other JG to ??? which I forgot the name, it also starts with a "G"

    tradelanes?
    tradelane technology were developed in sirius not on earth and therefore the coalition does not know about "tradelanes"


    bases.... well on which base do you want to dock if they are all hostile?
    oh and yes they have to be hostile coz alliance and coalition are enemies since almost 1000 years



    distances... well you can be glad that there are such high distances... so you can navigate around the dangerous places

    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,

    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    Perhaps the Coalition should have advanced thrusters then. If they never devolped the technology to use tradelanes, then they ought to have some other sort of advantage when compared to their counterparts in Sirius. Maybe a thruster providing more power, or one that drains much more slowly....perhaps both of these things combined. Aside from giving the Coalition something unique to barter at thier bases, the prospect of even better equipment would draw people into the most desolate regions of CF space.

    in SL the coalition had their warpgates to jump where ever they wanted

    Ok thanks Dragoness :)


    Btw, just a quick question: If the Coalition cannot manage to build tradelanes, why then are there all these jumpgates to move in Altair? And how can they have these uber powerful Ion Cannons??? What you are telling me now just doesn't seem logical... ?(

    what do tradelanes have to do with gates and ion cannons?
    in SL there were never tradelanes and they still had those gates and cannons

    Oh well... I don't know SL... I only know its supposed to be the prequel to FL...


    Anyways, if you say that some stations will be dockable in 1.6, then I can't wait! :D

    There is a tradelane already I think... But I wonder, why is there a tradelane to the nearby planets if we can't land on them? Is it just to go look and admire the texturing work? I'm sure its awesome, but why bother setting up tradelanes if there is nothing to see on the other side?

    Maybe because at this point in Crossfire history Earth is still being repopulated and is still a colony.


    As for your question Ruivo, the Alliance lost technology during the travel to Sirius. In Starlancer they had warp drive technology that would transport them great distances in a few seconds.

    Yeah i know that there's a tradelane between Earth and Mars, but that's bcuz the alliance put it there. I meant an warpgate, or somthing similar. Something from the coalition.


    Could it be possible that the Coalition made warp gates linking soo many planets, but haven't linked Earth to the very first planet they've conquered?

    The Jumpgates you see in Altair are from Coalition, from Starlancer..., Ion Cannons too

    I just hope there will be a shorter way to Altair in 1.6 mod :)
