CF 1.63 previews

this cruising over the planet surface is cool idea...and is it possible to fly over every planet like this one....

Have to stop myself from wetting my pants and putting my own flames out

[3] there thats better

2 words OP..... F***ing Amazing!!!

The picture of Earth looks stunning and I may even go back now every now and again to keep an eye on mi mam and dad.

Now we can see where they are harvesting the coffee from - hail South America and the best coffee in the universe.

*keels over in shock and can't move*

I need a medic! X_x

S-s-s-s-s-suuurfaaace flight?!
*drops his hat and bows*

I know that this is not a suggestion topic, but so:
What about converting the different battleship turrets and make them buyable on Crossfire docks? Becouse only kusari defense turrets are available. This way, capital ships can be costumizeable.

Werden die alten char übernomen ???
oder
Neu anfangen ???

In my oppinion, as a pseudo-modder, i think it would be possible... But it`s just too much work. I think that even to OP and 5+ more pro-modders it would take more than 6 months to create surface systems for all the planets in FL. Think about it: details, landscapes, textures, features (a landing pad on planet where you do actually LAND)... Everything that would make the mod grow into unimaginable sizes...

[SIZE=3]OK. Here starts the part where i`m freaking out. Don`t pay antention, if you don`t want to get pissed off badly. But i needed to put this out somewhere. And who knows... Maybe there`s someone who`s thinking the same as me? : [/SIZE]

Allready by now CF (mod only) is taking allmost HALF of my HD. I know... i know... you think i just should get a new HD with more capacity, but when i deleted all of my d-loaded files, all games, even document backups (which was very risky tho) EXCEPT FOR FL CF... I could squeeze out just a tiny 1.32 Gig free space out of it. (Damn, i start to sound like Dr. McKay (you know him from Stargate Atlantis) when he gets hysteric... ) That`s not normal anymore... i think the mod has grown allready too much in it`s size.

@OP: I hope you don`t take this as an offence, or a try to tell you what to do, `coz it isn`t meant like that. BUT i think we should have a break point in CF... turn the gameplay in a way we allways wanted: RPG!!! Here are only some suggestions that comes in my mind now:

1. You want massive fights? Then delete all trading opportunities and raise the mission payment massively. And keep the missions as hard as they are. Result - ppl would fight more. Ppl would get MUCH beter at PvP`s and that`s what FL is about: FIGHTS!

2. Coalition and the Alliance against the Dom`Kavash and Nomads? Then make the Alliance BE the Alliance not split up in LPI, Rheinald Navy, Samura Heavy Industries, Gaians... Result - ppl could choose their side they want to fight in.

Actually i could conclude what i want to say in a speech like:

Do you rememeber all the modding projects? Sci-Fi Wars, FL-The Darkening, SL-R? They all had nice features in them, but noone was wiling to work on them, coz they would play CF anyway. Here`s my conclusion: Take the BEST features out of the planned mods and stuff them into one proffessional mod, that would impress you so that you would be punched out of your shoes!!!!

delete all trading opportunities

I don't know if you're aware of right now, but there are two trader clans... Those trade routes were an excellent addition... don't even mention cutting them of [3]

Give us more screens pls pls pls

I will agree that the current, completely static, commodities market is somewhat unrealistic and that once the most profitable trade routes have been found, trading does become monotonous.
However, if the buy/sell prices of commodities change on a daily basis, then making money by trading will not only become hard it will be hugely influenced by chance. All scouting around for trade routes will be almost futile, as prices will change again within the next 24 hours.
If commodity prices are set become this dynamic, then I really think that, for trading not to end up like some kind of lottery, current prices should be available on the website.
I am well aware that being able to access this data will need quite an interface, but traders must have some means of planning if they cant rely on the routes they find by themselves.

This will be the only time I will say this sentence: OMFG THAT IS TEH 1337EST SHIZ!

i dont do a lot of trading but i do hunt on them. will the new system meen that when you look at the commodites list any places you have mapped will give you a price. so lets say the LA-Sol bmg run. you go to buy at LA and you would then see the best sell is not at earth but say planet crossfire. If this is how it will work that will be very kwel.

*Drooling uncontrolably*

Stop teasing us OP!! when can we have a go?!!!!

the main part of the new mod is advanced rp and dynamic gameplay
there wont be fixed traderoutes any longer
they will change daily which will make money making harder and more challenging

some parts of the CF universe will be dynamical aswell... eg random jumpholes, news, special (server)events,

Outstanding, OP! I knew you could find a way to increase the dynamic flow of the game, and I'm ecstatic that maybe a couple of the suggestions I made last year for CF1.6 are coming to fruition!! The best things in life are indeed worth waiting for, and people need to know that CF is a long-term game, not just immediate gratification. And the eye-candy keeps getting better...[1752]

What about the battleship mass problem? I think it's an urgent bug to fix.
