#1) get rid of "Boosters"

    The idea of boosters is cool, but if everyone is equally boosted, then you've added complication without really changing the basic power equation.


    Everyone has better shields and armor, so everyone has to use class 10 guns, so everyone has to have a power booster.


    It's only a matter of money to buy all this stuff and every regular player on CF has enough money to buy all of them. this means that regular players are all buffed up and the big losers in this power increase are New players who we really want to join and keep playing.


    I remember when I started. I was having a heck of a time surviving basic missions...everyone told me that "well, yeah, CF is really tough for new players". Some players kindly offered me cash or a loan so I could buy a top of the line fighter. Other's told me about the trick of flying into Custodian and working my way up to lvl 40 so I'd at least have a fighting chance.


    Eliminate the boosters and it wil still be a fair fight among the best players, but new players won't feel so outclassed and NPCs might actually be a threat again.

    sry but that will not happen


    im not going to eliminate features of the mod that are needed

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

    Hubris: your point may have merit with regard to PvP, but I can't see you surviving more than 10 minutes in nomad or DK space without them...even with full loads of 'bots & bat's!

    CA...you're probably right...I'd just have to invite some m8s along to help me out...that would promote team play

    Hubris, the power generators are essencial to the existance of powerful, power-guzzling lv 10 weapons. If there were no boosters than NPC VHF combat would be very diffult (if not imposible for the noobs). The same goes for the shield booster. They are upgrades and though they make the combat easy, keep in mind that it encourages players to talk to people and explore to find them. It's not a matter of saving up the money as much as finding the best ways to spend it. 8)
