    All the instrument sounds are in Reason4, i use my USB keyboard to play said instruments.
    There are 14 parts ( instruments )to the song, the drums are loops, the rest is me.
    Took me a week to get it to what i liked, then posted.


    I dont DJ, cut and splice tracks,merge them, thats cheating, i prefer the oldskool way, just like if you
    had an old 4 track in your bedroom, best results imho... ;)

    Thanks for the nice comments guys and i am glad you like it.


    The song is composed in Reason4, and i played each instrument, no samples, no loops like
    acid, fruityloops ect. ect.....All me. :)


    Fraise i do know, and does great stuff too.

    "I found it extremly hard to kill NPCs with the starter ship due to the
    low power guns and the improved AI and strength of the NPCs "


    Huh?, 8|


    I didn't think the SP missions before the added ones had their AI changed.
    I for one didn't have any problems in dealing with the NPC's and come to think of it
    Hovis race track i mostly do first time and without any add ons, ( dont mean to boast here ) :P


    The only time i find it more challenging, is when i get to the Nomad missions, but even then
    its not that bad in the right ship.
    Its what comes after that you have to re-think your flying tactics, and believe me, you ain't
    seen nothing yet!!!


    Saying all that, Well done Thelostone, good post dude. ;)

    You might now say that you only use it for SP and dont connect to the server... but that is no guarantee that others which use it stick only to the SP.


    Which is a very valued point.


    What people must understand that Crossfire is one of the few mods out there that
    allow you to play it OFFLINE (SP & OSP ), I for one do NOT want to lose that added bonus.


    Complaining too much on how hard the SP version is to you as players, only would change the
    minds of people who make future developments, and thus make them Multiplayer ONLY !!
    This i do not want to see happen with Crossfire.


    So when you get blown up alot in SP ask yourself this " Am I doing something wrong? " before you
    blame the game. I think you will find that most of the time it would be your playing style.
    Engine kill is the best way imo to defeat the NPC's, so try that.

    Well i am sorry, but i find it very easy to do Vanilla.


    1st mission:- in a star flea, escort traders, complete mission and upgrade to Rhino.
    2nd mission:- kill rogues attacking Prison ship.
    3rd Mission:- Destroy Defence guns at Rogue's base, there are 2.
    4th mission:- get Ashcroft
    5th mission:- Help Pueblo
    6th mission:- Hunt down the real Ashcroft ( Silverton Field) Tractor in his pod, once he goes bang.
    you will get attacked again in New York, then take Ashcroft to the BS and then you are on ur own
    for a while.
    Now is the time to go to Sea Of Shadows, and get the guns from BS, ignore Juni, just carry on until
    you get enuff for the ship with the blueish glow, NOW you can be safe in the knowing you have a good
    ship to continue on, dont forget to arm it with the free guns from the BS wrecks, i like the JADES.


    Good Luck

    Interesting :)


    SWAT_OP-R8R: is possible think for 2.0 about set different settings for things in acd post right in mod activation? (ofc for SP only).


    Really??? I can't believe we would entertain such an idea.


    Look Acd/Swatti whoever.... Crossfire is designed to be challenging,,, trying to be true to life as if we WERE fighting in space.
    Single Player NPC's are set the same way as the Multi Player,, So why on earth would you want it that easy???
    When you eventually come to MP, (if you get your way) would you still be complaining that its too hard once more and want OP to
    change it?? Perhaps have a God mode for you, so you can rule your Universe with ease.


    But the trouble is, if it becomes too easy, wouldn't we become in danger of becoming bored with it !! and then finally un-install
    and never play it again ??
    If you have it too easy in Crossfire, you would most probably run the Mod down to others..


    Okay, last tip:

    Clean uninstall now. Yes, it was clean install of all components, FL, mod manager and CF.


    The changes to the basic gameplay were just too much. I must admit there are impresive amount of changes but i would suggest the "devs" to play their creation from the SP start and see if it truely is what they desire. If it is what they desire then im happy for em but it seems its far from what i desire.


    Im off to try some other mods, my sincere thanks and goodbye for the time being.


    You clearly need some help, so i will give u some....So dont just leave yet!!


    Have u heard of Neutralizing ur Char, it works in SP and MP.



    Now you will be able to trade and get a better ship, and thus ur problems will be over...

    Er.. Yes.
    Why do some people find that hard to believe....
    SC will always be in the guise of WC..


    But people will still donate to him expecting something Different........?
    A Big Red Herring me thinks..

    Happy New Year to you too Op and your family.


    Thing we must remember that YES Freelancer is an old game.
    For if it wasn't for Communities such as this one and others,
    it would have died many years ago, so i take my hat off to
    all that have contributed in keeping an old Space Dog like me
    still interested in putting on my flight suit.


    Many Thanks and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL

    I have always liked egosoft's outlook on the Space Sim front, and this one actually looks a fine
    piece of work...They know how to keep you interested in their franchise and don't have
    crowd funding to achieve their goals... Kudos to them
    I might actually go and buy this !!!


    Nice find OP.. :thumbsup:
