    Marc, you know how to spoil someone,s


    party :(


    Egosft did it again, those ·$&%!ª promise after X2 to get a multiplayer


    game and after some checking around, X3 is not! Plus, you need a really good CPU and Video


    Card to run it...


    Well, I keep looking for any new games (multiplayer) to be in


    :)

    Hi all,


    Today I checked out X3


    Reunion and I can say that this game was more than I expected for. Great Graphic, Deep


    storyline, and a great space sim with a true 3D design. What impressed me most was the 3D


    part. I was waiting for a long time for this kind of Space Sim Game which could satisfy my


    Aerospace Eng. devotion.


    This company has done a great job, and who knows, our good


    community could expand up to there too.


    I understant that not to many people check


    this part of the forum but if you were passing by, please, take few minutes to check more


    about this game


    here:


    http://www.egosoft.com/news/current_en.php


    See you in space

    bit.


    Sincerely,

    PS: If I could design a ship for my future clan (of


    course anyone could buy it) and meet all your requirements, could you add it on CF 1.6?? I


    just want it to ask ;)

    [SIZE=3]The Assault Event [/SIZE]




    meeting at Arena at 7:45pm GMT to arrange teams and set the rules





    Assault Event 19/11/2005



    NEWS FROM TODAYS ASSAULT EVENT


    Hello


    Everyone,


    Another week has past by and here we are again in the arena to report


    another extraordinary Assault Event. The meeting at the arena started with a little delate


    of 10 min (7:55pm GMT) but that didnt stop to increase player attendance comparing to last


    week. As usual, we wait 15 to 20 min for people to show up. Players were coming from every


    system around the Galaxy. I want to notice the effort made by Gunny and Sev, who race all


    the way from stuggart to be part of the event but due to some extenuating circuntances they


    had to leave. New faces showed up, Canoso, Dimitris[A], Sleepy, and R39_Mhawk, who also


    have to race to be part in the event. Also, [HUN]_Nomadkiller make his appearence a to make


    a total of 14 people in the arena. As usual, before the event managers pick the team,


    BG_Petrus state the rules of the event which are posted above. A 1 to 1 pick was made by


    each team leader, like old high school days, to assembling the teams


    When the meeting


    at the arena was over, each team took its side on their respective home planet. As usual,


    Team 1 had Segema as his home planet (Southern side of the Colleseum system) and Team 2,


    had Tyrus as its home planet (Northern side of the Colleseum system) the fight started with


    the main objective in mind, to destroy the enemy roid miner.


    The first few minutes of


    event were taking for each team to layout their strategy. Team 1 choose a defensive strategy


    by just sending 1 team member at the time through the enemy front line on his first attack.


    Team 2 choose an agressive strategy by sending out all his players to enemy lines but 1.




    First attack was made by BG_Zikron, who may I say has improved his battle skill


    since last event. Zikron did pretty much damage to the hul of team 2 miner but it was


    overpower by the skill of team 2 defensive pilot R39_MHawk. Team 2 fleet were taking


    position ir order to obtain a massive multirole attack. Each member of team got his mission,


    destroy the enemy roid miner over and over again. Well, that paid off. Team 2 open the score


    and keep getting sucesive points up to 3 before Team 1 could make a move and get his first


    point. Team 1 scored his first point by individual of attacks from [HUN], Sleepy, BG_Zikron,


    and Dimitris[A] finishing the job that Zikron almost got done first time. At that point, the


    score was 1 x 3. No one could know what was going to happen next. Team 2 keep doing massive


    attacks taking both corridors (right and left) in the colleseum. It look like team 2 has


    more than twice the number of players attacking Team 1. Pia_Darkstalker, BG_Laser6jet,


    Wing_[94], and Pia_Illuminatus (aka "The Bulb") kept scoring up to almost 4 points in a


    row. However, Team 1, by their sporadic attacks from BG_Zikron, Sleepy, [HUN]_Nomadkiller,


    and Dimitris[A] also acomplished their goal of killing the enemy miner twice, making the


    score 3 x 7 after 35 min of competition.


    Everybody who has participated in the


    Assault Event knows that a 4 point lead is not enough. The score could flip over easily in


    the next 20 min. Therefore, Team 2 decided to keep up the momentum by keep doing


    consecutives massive attacks to the enemy roid miner. Only R39_MHawk and Pia_Fallen_Angel


    were left in the defensive lines of team 2. The outcome of this strategy was a 5 cosecutives


    kills of the enemy miner. Team 1 had changed his previosus strategy to an agressive one by


    making an attacking wing of 3 pilots. Sleepy, BG_Zikron, and [HUN]_Nomadkiller did a great


    job by working toguether. After another 30 minutes of competiton, the score was 4 x


    12


    The next 30 min where passing by massive attack on each side. R39_MHawk and


    Pia_Fallen_Angel from Team 2 didnt have an easy task. Sleepy and BG_ZIkron were incidious in


    their attack on Team 2 so MHawk and and Fallen_Angel showed extraordinary skills by holding


    the enemy off. R39_Mhawk took out several times sleepy while He was trying to destroy the


    Team 2 miner. In time, Sleepy wouldl accomplish his task by himself giving another 2 points


    to Team 1. But, Team 2 players, DArkstalker, Laser6jet, Wing, and "The buld" held to their


    word to keep their momentun by killing Team 1 miner another 12 times leaving the score 6 x


    24.


    The next 21 min you would think that with a lead of 18 points Team 2 would go


    easy. Well, think twice cause team 2 wanted this victory so bad that they didnt stop


    scoring. Even Falling_Angel took his chance to be in the front lines. Time after time, team


    1 roid miner went down without any mercy making a total of 9 kills. But Team 1 never lost


    its honor in the battlefield and despite the lead by Team 2, Sleepy, BG_Zikron, and


    [HUN]_Nomad killer kept coming over and over scoring 3 more points. If it wasnt for the


    extraordinary defence skills from R39_MHawk and Pia_Fallen_Angel, plus a little help from


    the other team 2 players, Team 1 could have scored twice as much as they did.


    In the


    last 4 min the score was 9 x 33. Then, one of the event manager decided to give an extra


    prize. The team who could kill first an enemy roid miner in the next 4 min would receive a 2


    million credit prize. Team 2 did it again. They got Team 1 roid miner for last time leaving


    the final score of the Assault Event 9 x 34.


    It was a good fight where every team


    player put their best and took the chances they had. Team 2 have won the Assault Event but


    we would never forget the corageus Team 1 players.


    That´s all folks for today´s


    assault event, I hope to see you again at the same place and time.


    Saying bye from


    the arena,


    RG

    I wish people put more input on that thread cause I did really want to fix the


    bugged ships for next version. Anyway, it is being a while sinceI was in Altair, but in the


    huge asteroid system, 1 of the jump hole that take you back to syrius galaxy crash to


    desktop after you jump there.


    I goin to re-check my FL CF SP open to check another


    ships that I havent check :)


    Sincerely,


    RG

    Hi m8, I didnt notice that strange


    thing floating around. I do think is really weird. However, I did notice that when I was


    outside I ask Petrus to order his team to dock as I did on my team. The problem with read


    lag stop, but when people start to undock, the lag appears again.


    The problem with


    LaserJet is the second time it happens. From all player, he always has been the hard to get


    shot down because his ships always jump around. I didnt have any trouble with other enemy


    players and even when I had to shot down my own team members last event because of friendly


    fire.


    About the weak team, I dont see it in that way. I had fun at the event and it


    helps my team and myself to train for a higher standars. Many people are not use to this


    kind of event because they usually pvp 1 on 1. This event help to develop Team playing that


    is not an usal thing along the Freelancer community.


    About responsability, maybe is


    not laser fault directly, but being the only one hard to get and affected by this anomaly


    twice looks that bit the odds of probabilities. Last fight I gave laserjet OP prize money


    becuase I didnt say that way, I just thought he was damm good flying around that I could not


    get him ;)


    More input about this issue would be appreciated from other particpants if


    this same kind of weirdness happen to them.


    Sincerely,


    RG

    Come on guys??


    Does anyone doesnt have any


    riddle to write down here??


    By the way, DC_Dragonwarrior, what happen to the answer


    to that riddle?? Im still waiting :)

    [SIZE=3]NEWS FROM TODAYS ASSAULT EVENT [/SIZE]




    Hello Everybody,


    This RG reporting from the arena. Today event was unique in


    a way we got 1 team we just BG clan members and the other team with a mixture of people from


    DC and LP clan. We met as usual in the arena at 7:45pm. BG_Petrus, commander of team 1 and


    event manager, set the rules in the arena. While we were there, an old legend, without


    anyone expecting that appeareance. BG_MarcBomber who undust his old shroud from many battles


    to participate in the event. Team 1 was completely BG with an strong attack force in their


    hand. Team 2, commander by your loyal servant (me), was really concerned about the


    implication to face such as strong enemy. But generally, Team 2 morale was high despite the


    odds :)


    After the meeting at arena, each team took its side on their respective home


    planet. Team 1 had Segema as his home planet (Southern side of the Colleseum system) and


    Team 2 had Tyrius as its home planet (Northern side of the Colleseum system) the figth


    started with the main objective in mind, to destroy the enemy roid miner.


    After few


    minutes of starting the event, Team 1 open the score by guess who :) BG_MarcBomber, with


    some help from BG_Laserjet. I guess Marc wasnt that rusty after all.
    However team 2 got


    great offensive by OP, DC_Octy.., DC_Raven and Privateer getting Team 2 first point just few


    second after. Team 1 has an massive offensive on team 2 all the time just leaving BG_Corp to


    defend its roid miner. The next 30 min was heavy on Team 2 taking around 3 more points from


    them. Team 2 didnt let this passing by and adopted same strategy than its enemy getting 2


    points with the help of privateer, DC_Octy.., DC_Raven, and DC_Blackdragon who joined the


    fight few minutes later.


    The score was 4 x 3. & the fight was getting more intense.


    Team 2 still had hope to take this event home :) However massive attacks by BG_MarcBomber,


    BG_Zikron, and BG_LaserJet started to concerned team 2. team 1 got up to 7 points while we


    were just up to 5 points. Team 2 got a little bit of air from Privateer attack by downed


    team 1 roid miner 1 more time leaving the score 7 x 6. Another suicidal attack from


    DC_Raven, DC_Blackdragon, and DC_Octy tied the score 7 x 7 for the first but last


    time.


    The next minutes, team 1 send the whole squad, who was almost camping at team 2


    home base. They got 3 kills in a row leaving the final score 10 x 7.


    The event has to


    finish earlier due to some technical problems in the installations. However, everyone agreed


    that we had a new winner today. Team 1 players received their prize in the arena and were


    congratulated by the commander of team 2. It was a great fight from both team.


    Well


    m8s, this is all for today´s assault event, I hope to see you again at the same place and


    time.

    @ Dragonwarrior, ussually more people show to this event. In the first 3 events ,we


    got up to 10 players per team at the last one. Today, I forgot the new clock set for the


    winter time, plus I could not show earlier as usual to invite everyone. We have usually a


    good amount of people.


    @To everyone, the last event was the best of all 4 since my


    watch. New rules worked just fine and it was intense up to the last minute (just read my


    review at the news) We will stick to these rules and I promise you will enjoy it. So to the


    people that was with us on the first 3, I invite you for next saturday to see it yourselves.


    Dont miss it...


    @ Dragonwarrior and OP, Because of different way of thinking, the


    rule for team layout stated that each group could chose its own layout. I dint suggest any


    layout in the rule (like before) cause I didnt want to influence anyone. I thougt at first


    like you Dragonwarrior, but I got give it to OP this time (and you know sometimes Im hard


    headed about someone ideas without proofs) The way we handle the team layout was much better


    and gave us the capability to score 10 points. When I did it my way in the other events, it


    was difficult for my team to score good points. However, in a matter of speaking we did have


    scouts, defenders, and attackers, the difference was that no one was assigned to an specific


    role and that was great cause it did allow us to be more effective and have more degree of


    freedom in our tactics.


    @to my team, OP is right about friendly fire, next time watch


    out who are shooting to. I got my armor/hull halves by my own team members two or three


    time. I have to shoot down 2 of my team members before my miner hull got deplete it


    completely and they were not listen to the group com ;) [8] But it was a blast anyway and


    real funny seen you guys shooting at me like desperate maniacs
    [11] without knowing


    who you were shooting to.


    I hope as this info help you guys out there. This have been


    the best time that I spend online since I started to play FL CF mod.


    Greetings to


    all,


    RG

    After reviewing the rules for last Assault Event, the event managers and the administration


    decided to state these rules for every Assault Event:


    1st.- The event would last for


    2 hours starting at 8pm GMT and finishing at 10pm GMT. All partcipants should meet 15 min


    before the event in the arena. Then, the formal 2 teams (after the selection) will go to


    colleseum and dock to their respective home planet.


    2nd.- Every team will have 1 roid


    miner and the rest would be fighters. Teams would set their group layout as they


    wish.


    3rd.- Players from each team CAN NOT dock at the enemy planet during the


    event.


    4th.- The objective for the event is to kill as many as enemy roid miner is


    possible. Each roid miner kill will be counted as 1 point for the killer team (NO ROUNDS)


    and the killed roid miner has 1 min to undock from the planet, otherwise it would be


    penalized. After the 2 hours time limit, the team with more kills would be the Assault Event


    winner.


    5th.- Roid miners can stay out to a maximun range of 6k from their home


    planet.


    6th.- No nanobots neither shield batteries are allowed.


    7th.- All


    weapons are allowed but it is not allowed for players to leave the sytem for


    reload.


    [SIZE=3]NEWS from today´s Assault Event[/SIZE]




    Following those rules, the player met at the arena 15 min before the event. The


    players for each team were chosen and went to the colleseum to dock to their respective


    home/team planet:


    Event Team 1 was lead by BG_petrus and Event team 2 was lead by OP


    and I. Estrategy were pretty much different in the beginning. Team 1 choose a defensive


    strategy while team 2 chose an offensive one.


    Team 2 strategy paid out because was


    the team who scored its first point due to effort from DC_Dragonwarrior, OP, and others DC


    members. From there, team 1 decided to start a massive attack being lead by BG_Laserjet.


    The first 40 min was intense ending up by a lead of 1 point for team 2 being the score 3 x


    4. After that, team 2 change its strategy to a more offensive one making the gap to 2 points


    between both team, being the score 6 x 8 after the next 50 min. For the remaining 30 min,


    team 2 change the strategy to a defensive one while team 1 kept increasing their massive


    attacks with the whole team, but petrus, in the enemy territory. BG_laserjet, mitze_123, Aj


    and another member of team 1 were all over team 2 roid miner who was being defended by


    DC_Dragonwarrior, DC_Dragonness (who enter for another DC member that has to leave) and


    DC_Raven1. They got the point they were loking for making the escore 7 x 8 but not without


    paying a high prize. Petrus miner was left alone and give the chance, 1st for OP to get the


    kill and then OP, Dragonwarrior, and Raven1 to get the last kill for team 2 making the score


    of 7 x 10. With 6 min left, everybody would think that team 1 would it give up by just doing


    sporadic attacks. Well think twice, Team 1 sent a suicide attack with BG_Laserjet. On those


    6 min, the longest time for team 2, BG_LaserJet shot 1 time roid miner with 2 min left and a


    second time with just few seconds to end the event leaving the final score 9 x


    10


    Team 2 have won but learned to respect the corage and bravery of team 1 who at the


    end was not an easy prey at all, despite having heavy odds against them.


    A 50 million


    credit prize was given to the players of team 2 and special 10 million credits prize was


    given to BG_Laserjet of team 1 because of his courage and agressive attack by the


    end.


    That is all for today m8s, I hope to see you in the next Assault


    Event.


    Sincerely,


    RG
