Gaming future

Op,

Would the games be limited to space (sci-fi) ? Or would you be open to other kinds of action/strategy type of games? For example Panzer type games, Jet combat, etc.

I would be interested only in Space/sci-fi future gamming.
Thanx for such a responsable and future concerned leadership in here, OP. I hope we can manage to fullfill ur concerns.

i think the new game that advertised on lancersreactor, space force 2, looks like a good choice. you can see its obvious FL influences. just need to see if there is a MP option. not that i think that FL is going to "die off" anyway, it has a huge following (just my opinion). ppl play FL coz of what it is, an origonal sci-fi multi-role playing game. i dont think ppl here would be that interested in straying too far from that theme.

Long live FL

Long live CF

Q: Will the game contain multiplayer and how will it work (i.e. Freelancer or something different)?

A: For the first release multiplayer is not planed but maybe it will be released in next patch or expansion. We imagined it to look like a deathmach (particulary action and dynamic fight). But we will see.

If you ask me it pretty much sounds like Darkstar-One: "we will ... but not now" for me it sounds like "we wont make any multiplayer"

Old games dont offer same future as new ones but technically they are more compatible with the players with slow hardware.

I think the reason that more people have not come forth with sound, rational alternatives to the future growth of SWAT and its clans, is that we are all so taken with the seemingly endless supply of imaginative creativity and relentless energy OP has continued to display with each successive Crossfire update! But OP has rightly given us notice that this will not always be the case, so we have to snap out of our reverie, and begin to think soberly about the long term (sounds oddly ironic, in reference to gaming ).

In fact, I have already discovered that many of my old, favorite games no longer work well (or at all) with some of the new video/sound/OS drivers, so from that standpoint, there is NO future for those games. Some newer games appeal to me, but the intellectual quandry is whether to adapt the roleplay of the clan to other modes of operation. For example, I would find it easier to adapt to another space sim than to a FPS, simply because of the style of play, the type of thinking and controls skills involved, and the long-term goal-setting aspects. One space-sim I thought interesting is "The Jupiter Incident" (I think), and I gather that the larger studios will keep them coming...

The overriding concern here is that we have all put a lot of time and effort into our SWAT community, and our clans. What unity we have has been hard-won by working through conflicts of all types, similar to any family unit. By adding to our repretoire of entertainments here, we assure that we can enjoy the community for some time to come! [1615]

ive a question does anyone remember decent freespace1 and 2 those were a space fighter game that to this date sell for extreme prices over 100euros im not sure if anything was done with it in gaming com. but it may be something to look at.... plus as mst know i really like the old anime stargazers which has what i feel is some really cool possabilities, in which i thought of delving but have no experience with these otherwise i would..

Sorry für die jetzt kommenden Kommentar:
ist das ein deutsches forum oder ein englisches
bitte doch hier in deutsch und nicht in englisch
jeder englische beitrag wird sofort gekänselt
auch wenns der OP ist sollte er dann auch Deutsch bleiben, sorry bitte in deutsch.
Leider sind einige nicht so ganz des englisches mächtig und deshalb bitte auch , dass die regeln die von oberster stelle aus vorgeschrieben wurden , von denjenigen der sie vorgeschrieben haben auch eingehalten werden.
ich ernte jetzt bestimmt kein lob, aber regeln sind regeln und da muss sich auch ein OP dranhalten, aus diesen grund gibt es den deutschen support , und englisch hat hier nix so suchen.
die nachricht ist von achim-hel nicht damit meint ich würde dies anonym schreiben.
PS. Leider ist mein englisch sau schlecht. leider!!!

well ive already tried it 3 times to get the clans together and think about their future... think about what happens when FL is no more

... if they want to see their clans dying

well i can see a future for the members of BG because XL and I have backup plans for this

but what about you?.... yeah i know i already asked 3 times and never got a reply
and i need to say that im terribly pissed because of this...
i spend too much time to help your clans to survive... instead of this i originally should work on projects that help the SWAT portal and to be honest if the whole situation wont change i will start to give a shit about what ppl want from me and do my own stuff

well ok back to the main topic
i asked the clans to build up a future for all CF clans.... together
to help me to extend the SWAT portal into other games where new clans can be founded... and im not talking about games that are already old, games without future or without community
im talking about games which have a high potential and maybe a modding scene

this is a backup plan for ALL CF clans... for the case that FL will die some day... and you all know that this day will come

this is my final try to get you to work together on this matter... its your choice if you work for a future or if you simply leave after FL is dead

A game that cached my attention long ago but still the game is not old. Game play points player attention not in the flying with the ship itself but controlign the subsystems in fight means build your tactic - control the energy between the shields and weapons, choose your weapons and choose how to disable your oponent means there are guns for shield damage or hull damage and guns capable on locking on subsystems penetrating throught the shield. Well something liek that i'm trying to find the game aswell and see what exactly was.

Have MP aswell

this game im playing now and am very impressed with the reallity of the flight and it is suppose to be mp might have possabilities

Yes, this is the one I was thinking about (the subtitle is "The Jupiter Incident")!

Ist das jetzt ein Deutsches Forum oder ein Englisches?????
Auch wenns der OP selbst ist, Deutsch Ja oder Nein.
Ansonsten würde ich empfehlen´das Detsche zu löschen.

Ok..small note..I played the jupiter incident and it has so many bugs you dont even imagine (the game is a homeworld type of game)

As Wavey said, multiplayer is very limited. We need to look for something that you could have a server running online 24/7 which is pretty rare cause many of the game are like the deathmatch type. There are some options but many of them are RPG adventure games where building a char get tedious and boring after a while (believe me, I ve been playing lately Gild Wars factions and Silkroad and it gets pretty boring after a while)

There is a new version of Balylon 5; I found here comming in few months cause the team is back on business. They said it could be an online option but Im pretty afraid would another deathmatch option.

The game we are looking for should be a persistent open world game where you login anytime and the server will be there.

About Spaceforce 2, the game seem pretty good and the the creators are taking advise of what we want to see on it. They said that a multiplayer option would be introduce but Im pretty afraid that would be another deathmatch type (a non-persistant world) Dont get wrong, i play starlancer and I did play also online and i really enjoyed my breef online incursion on the game.

I also being beta testing Arvoch Conflict which is pretty good squad space sim game (joystick required) but it is also a non-persistant world.

I tried to go back to JumpGate and EVE but they are already old and even with the new additions, still not good enough for todays standards.

Since I left CF, I ve been looking around for a nice massive multiplayer game without luck so far

However OP point is clear, Clans, what will do to keep the community together without seing them disappeared. Im sure OP already have something in mind to where to go after FL is dead (he already stated that for his clan - BG)

Regards,

RG

Well, you could look for a game named Infinite: The Quest for Earth, but I think it'll have set servers as it will be a MMORPG, but ofcourse, you should prolly be able to make a private server, but then people would hardly see eachother concerning the size of the game. It's an awesome game, and there's a combat prototype released, which uses some sort of deathmatch, but as it's not even a Beta, just a prototype, it just gives an idea of the combat, nothing more.

Grtz

ok, i tried nexus - the jupiter incident, and was extreemely unimpressed, FL is far better.

just got darkstar1 a few weeks ago, its rather complecated, but yet small, and requires alot to run looking decent. Im still wanting ms to make an fl2 i had the idea a while back of some of us forming a league of developers and testers, we can call ourselves the "Knights of the Digital Anvil" (lol) and start developing something and then get the backing of a bigger company thats got nothing to lose like ms, just a thought!

I like the Nexus idea myself, I have it, but have not played it that often due to my duties on CF.

I think we need an IRC chat about this topic this coming weekend and start making some decisions to present to Op.

I will Moderate the meeting. Lets see some proposals for the best times.

@ Centaurian, I want to get with you about the Nexus idea.
