Sir OP,
Firstly, My condolences. It is hard to lose someone close, and even harder filling the void that's left.
Memories that won't wash away with time and they sping to mind and spark those feelings again which in turn broaden the void and deapens the hurt.
However, life does go on. New days dawn. Remember the ones lost and they will live forever.
Secondly Sir,
I have been piloting a ship in Freelancer since the game went public. First during the storyline, then I discovered the multiplayer side. Wonderful. I was hooked. What a game. Then the mods started comming. For a while the mods would come almost every day. Candy for an addict.
I've tried just about all the mods out there. I'm seasoned just right. Still learning though. One of those things that just doesn't stop. The learning curve. It's infinite.
That being said, I and a friend have discovered Crossfire 1.5*. We played it and like it very much. Challenging in ways other mods sorely lack. Then 1.60 was released. I downloaded it and wow..Very nice. Real words could not establish in the english language what I truly felt. Then I found I could not get on one day and found that the server had upgraded to 1.61. I was put out. I could not find it. I spend a better part of a day doing some franticly serious online tracking and finally found it's hiding place. I Loaded it and played it. I have enjoyed my stay thus far, then "oh my god" I tried to log on recently and found the server grayed out and felt my heart leap into my throat..the rumored 1.62 had finally been put into play. Yay..I went straight to LR and made quick the download. I made quick the installation steps and am back. My friend will download it this weekend.
Of all the things you're pissed about and all the things you're glad about and inclusive of the nonchalant, my friend and I have found ourselves homeless so to speak. We are Peace Keepers, firing only if fired upon. Negotiations are the first step. We do not antagonize nor provoke and will be glad to work closely with the SP. We make no promises so none to break. We make no bravado so no expectations to live up to. We, however, do know what respect is and how to earn such ideas and not demand them. Demanding respect is Disrespect!
Exploration before Exploitation is more fun. Hints from other players is welcomed but no questions will be asked. If we can't find it, then we weren't meant to find it. But if we explore, it will be found sooner or later.
Presently we are formulating a strategy of forming our own clan and are working on faction documents, statements, and structures. We will present them to you in due time as they are still under quill and paper.
We are The Empire of Peace (EoP).
We do not and will not run our tags as we have not presented ourselves to you as of proper. It will be forthcoming.
Patience is a virtue long lost.
We are at your service.
Thank you for your time,
Regards and Condolences,
