Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

this is not star trek

Yes this is true, but without Star Trek and other Sci Fi Progs/Films alike,there wouldn't be games like FREELANCER have been made,
so you have them to thank for the inspiration that Star trek and others gave to game designers/programmers who made them.

Besides I wasn't trying to say to make the mod like the Star Trek Universe, Just an idea i thought that Sci Fi lovers that play your mod
may like
As nobody mentioned shields or lasers, thought I'd throw the idea out there, A bit disapointed with the 5 word reply really

Still its your baby, who am i to tell you what to do with your mod

Perhaps i will keep my idea's to myself in the future

Hi OP hope I'm not too late with a suggestion for 1.9.

Here Goes:

2 x Shield slots on HF and VHF, 1 being the main sheild and a secondry shield to protect the main one.

Like an outer skin that depletes once hit and recharges like your eg. adv champ.

Gives you a better chance in surviving IC baddie attacks.

Somewhat similar to the Borg addon shield in ST Voyager.
May have to change Shield metering though.

Also, Beam Lasers, at the mo all guns fire some sort of projectile, can we have a steady beam laser
of some sort like what the Enterprise fires, just to keep it all Sci Fi of course.

Keep up the good work.

Wish :

Current Name : New Name
Osiris Battleship : OsirisII-class Battleship (the ship Osiris was the model from which hundreds of ships were built, the 2 is because the setup changes : torpedo tubes, stronger hull, etc....)

New Liberty Dreadnough (new in CF1.9) : Manhattan-class Dreadnough
Liberty Dreadnough : Jacobi-class Dreadnough (In honor of the President Jacobi who came very close to being infectd by a Nomad being)
Liberty Cruiser : Walker-class Cruiser (for sacrificing his Cruiser to destroy Nomad-controlled Liberty Dreadnough in Alaska)
Liberty Gunboat (new in CF1.9): Zane-class Cruiser (Commander Zane was assigned to the development of a new very maneouvreable class of capital ship capable of defending the Liberty Borders against potential alien vessels or criminals)

New Kusari Battleship (new in CF1.9) : Tokyo-class Battleship
Kusari Battleship : Edo-class Battleship (In honor of Shogun Edo, he is not much liked by the common kusari ppl but the dude looks like he would have given his name to that ship without asking the opinions of others....)
Kusari Destroyer : Ozu-class Destroyer (Despite being a rebel Blood Dragon, he helped save his ppl from the dangerous infected Governor Tegaki during the Nomads wars and prevented the death of millions of Kusari citizens)
Kusari Gunboat : Hakkira-class Gunboat (Lord Hakkira was a trusted member of the Senate who used his patriotism and courage to defy the authrities and help the Order put an end to the Nomad War)

New Rheinland Battleship (new in CF1.9) : Utopia-class Battleship (developped in the secret Rheinland labs on Triangulum in the Utopia System)
Rheinland Battleship : Berlin-class Battleship
Rheinland Cruiser : Donoe-class Cruiser (In memory of the crew of RNC_Dunoe destroyed over manhattan by the Order. Despite its Admiral was infected by a Nomad, the collateral damage of innocent soldiers was astonishing)
Rheinland Gunboat : VonClaussen-class Gunboat (in honor of the Rheinland patriot who played a key role in the Nomad War)

New Bretonia Battleship (new in CF1.9) : Carina-class Battleship (for her glorious resistance against the Rheinland blockade/invaders in the Omega Systems)
Bretonia Battleship : Crown-class Battleship (Cause british ppl love theri crown so much :P)
Bretonia Destroyer : does this even exist ? anyway : Silver-class (Developped by the best scientists from Cambridge Research Institute and the Silver Arrows Labs)
Bretonia Gunboat : Tobias-class (In honor of the Leed's equipment dealer Richard Winston Tobias who allowed Nomad War heros escape a Rheinland blockade in Bretonia during the Nomad War)

I know it requires some resource.dll modifications but it's not too extensive, plus i could do this myself if OP agrees... I feel it represents much better the way militaries over the world (and in Sci-Fi : star trek) classify their ships... *check wikipedia and you'll see how it works...)

Thanks for the reply guys.

I'm actually from New Zealand, so chances are no one will be sending me a DVD with the files That's also another reason why I don't wanna blow 1.5Gig - might be too laggy for me. Does anyone know where the server is based?

Oh, also - is this a roleplaying server? I like the pirate/police thing, but can't stand the only chat/act "in character" kind of stuff.

Thanks.

Cygna1.................

Ok guys and girls heads up.......

Having some MAJOR problems completing the single player version of Crossfire 1.83.
I WANT to complete this before I go Multi-player.
I have spent a best part of a week in and out of InnerCore and I am losing the plot.
I have completed thus:

So what do I do now, Who do I sell black boxes to?
Bear in mind I have followed Jack Blinch's clues as well.
Do I neeed to find more GMG/Reinland ships in D'Kavash space, if so where!!
So as you can see I am well and truly stuck.
Your help and hints/clues will be most appreciated.
And before you say it Michael, I know MP is more fun and I will get more help on the server, But lets try here first eh bud. hehe.

PM or indeed post here, can't wait to see the outcome of this truly awe inspiring mod.

Many Thanks

Cygna1................end of message........

p.s This spoiler section has helped me quite abit, so a big WOOP to all that have posted here, With out them,
I would have no finger nails left at all.

Quote from serguei54

Hello everybody , is it possible to be non ennemy vith dom kavash in the single player , their system or very big and it take me very long time to explore without saving on a station !!!! for coalition i pay some bribes on earth but for dom kavash i don t find any location where i can put my reputation less red !!!
thank you for your replies
good game

Hi Freelancer and welcome to the forum.

There are certain quests in the game that you have to complete, one of them makes you friends with the Dom'Kavash,
But unfortunatley this will make you the enemy of the other Dom races ( Nepesh, Sek...Ect ).
My advise to you is, if you are having problems check out the CROSSFIRE SPOILER section on this forum as I did, most Q&A's
are there and it also stops new members such as me asking questions that have already been answered about a year ago.
But if you don't get the answer you want, then post your question anyway, we/they will only glad to help you.

It helped me quite alot so far and thats all thanks to Moderators/Members such as Michael, Op-Swat, Fabby, SHS, and many others.
I dont think it makes you cheat the game by knowing some of the answers, but helps you on your way in to understanding it abit more.
The Way to Weth is some what a challenging one and it took me 3 hours to get there, but its all good fun , you may infact get
Space Sickness, Which Op-Swat can supply the offical CROSSFIRE sick bags to you for a small fee I needed loads.... :wacko: .

Anyhow good luck with your quest's and speak to you soon.

Quote from Michael

Due to your last question I noticed you haven't read the posts with Spoiler tags..

You have to click on the word Spoiler to read them... and notice they already answered.

There are better shields, better guns (as gun power not setuop stuff), even better ships and a better torp even I rlly recommend you a Cruise Disruptor

As I told no data this is not a spoiler.

Yeah Thanks for that Michael but I already know about the spoiler tags, I just need to sort through this forum
and hunt down the questions that have already been answered.
Anyhow, have managed to kill 4 Ancients and have indeed ventured through the H/gate in Sigma 3, my first reaction was:-
OMG....... I MADE IT..... so after searching around abit for the next gate I FOUND IT and then
OMG................... OOOOMMMMGGGGG... SCARY STUFF........... OUCH THEM HURT ME!!!
I need a lot to do before I venture back there!! Need to stay away until I have a more powerful setup..So my advise to anyone is if you
think that the NOMADS and ANCIENTS DRONES are hard to beat, Then think again!! YOU WILL DIE!!! MANY TIMES, SO BEWARE!!!!

On another note, my hat goes of to all who made this mod possible, GREAT GRAPHICS, GREAT SUSPENSE, AND THE MUSIC ROCKS .
Off now to lick my wounds and have a re-think, alot of thinking!! must get more money and venture back into Coalition space to see if
there are better ships and guns and shields...# SET COURSE FOR EARTH #

Quote from AbrasDevil

First. if you get caught in that system in MP without having permission, you are in trouble, <br>
second. that is surely not the way to make people exploring, by taking out the purpose of exploring. <br>
third. yes its a nice trap and easy to go out, if you know the way. maybe OP should change that so its NOT the same way anymore. <br>
fourth. if you are going to tell everybody where to go, then do it correctly. because that what you said, is NOT completely true <br>
but its ok. .take the right always, so its easier for me to catch you in there, and you might get shot without any warnings <br>
<br>
your leftovers will be attached to the entrance from chugoku side, so everyone coming close to it, will be warned BEFORE entering

OOoooo that be fighting talk.
When I do venture into MP I will seek you out.
And after a climatic dog fight I will be dusting off the debris from your ship off of mine for about a week.
With jokes aside this is my ship loadout:

Ship:- Shooting Star
Weps:- 4x Coalition Gattling guns, 2x Vulcan guns, Adv Cm's
Torps:- 2x Sunslayer
Shields:- Adv Champion HF
Mods:- Shield upgrade Mk X (L 9), Power Generation Unit Mk V

Is this set up fine or are there more powerful Shields in the CF Universe. PM if you like.

I look forward to your replies.

Quote from The_Cro_Legend

Husker: what means spoiler???
Cygna: nothing is easier than killing NPCs

Hi Thanks for all of your response's.

The Npcs that I am refering to are the Ancients, Nomads as their hits deplete your shields very quickly as with the Ancients.
As I am playing the SP version before I go Multi player, I just want to complete/Explore this mod before taking you lot on.

And as with H***** (Hiruga i expect) been there, a nice little trap but with a easy way out, took a while to sus it out.
But pretty easy when you think about it.

No doubt someone will take my hint off. hehe

Will search out Sigma13 again! to see if I have missed something.

Speak soon

Cygna1

Hi all on this forum, my first post so bare with me.
Subject is shields in Crossfire, I don't think they are made strong enough to fight the NPC's.
I have a Shooting star with coalition Gattling guns, and 2 vulcans, Adv Champion Shield and extras.
But I still think they should be a little bit more resiliant when being hit by the NPC's to give you a fair chance.
2 hits and your shields have gone, so whats the point seeking out the best shields?

Don't get me wrong, I don't want it too easy just that little bit more if you know what I mean.
Bought this game in a charity shop for £2, Best £2 spent I think

I use to play X alot, but not now, this game ticks all the right boxe's for me.
SWAT, thanks for keeping the dream alive and indeed all you other modders out there.
I don't think Microsoft realise how popular this game has become.
Keep the good work coming and I look forward to Crossfire 1.90

Regards
