  • How to pass Ancient mission (SP)

    Hi,


    again I have to ask something, which I don't really understand.


    Could it be, that the Mod inventors made Mission 30 (the ancient drones busting) in the new campaign so hard, that no one else except maybe themselves are able to finish that mission? Sorry, but I don't think, that my flying skills are so bad, nor am I an idiot in blowing the NPC's to dust. I managed it to hold out against 8 or 9 drones at one time, because I was doing some nice moves with my ship. But shooting and hitting at the same time is IMPOSSIBLE.


    Honestly, I am starting to believe, that the whole mission IS impossible, at least for me. I tried every tactic I was knowing. I tried to engage ONE drone at a time, it did not work. I tried to fly with the ancient drone in my neck towards the GMG station and try to bust it in the asteroid field, it did not work, because there were suddenly 8 others!


    And since I was told somewhere else in this forum, that missions cannot be aborted (and therefore also the navigation point function is not working either), exploring the Crossfire universe has ended right there in Dervon System, because I am stuck in that mission.


    An that's the reason why I delete this mod from my PC. With all respect to the mod creators, but nobody wants to play a story campaign, which is way too hard. I had fun until that mission, but now after dozens of tries, it just sucks.

  • Some general issues with Crossfire 1.9

    Hi,


    I know, I know. It sounds weird! But the sh** with the cargo trains also happened, when I started the mission from the beginning. Still it seemed, that they had some cups of coffee in the cockpit of those cargo trains, they were flying sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow ... I even could watch the Medium White central star in Sol System stopping its hydrogen fusion ... just kidding, but for real, it felt like that. :D


    OK, I will try again and from the beginning till the end I will follow the story line. Maybe it works this time.

  • Some general issues with Crossfire 1.9

    Hi,


    first of all, I want to thank the Mod-creators of Crossfire 1.9. I honor your work and all in all, I really really like this mod due to its big bigger biggest universe and all the other things, that have been implemented. So don't take it personally, but here comes the big


    BUT


    Although I like Crossfire 1.9 and although I am curious about the new campaign, it is exactly because of this campaign, why I am posting this.


    1st issue: Alright, a new campaign is awesome, BUT why did you not implement the possibility to abort the new missions or make it on the base of gratuitousness. Because it not possible to abort the mission, the player is not able to use navigation point function on the star map anymore and that REALLY sucks, because last time I flew about 100 klicks in a slight angle and landed about 200 klicks ABOVE my final destination, because I was in a ****ing nebula and there was no way to set a navigation point. Exactly because officially I was on a Chapter 2 mission.


    2nd issue: also about the missions. I really really appreciate, that the Mod-creators invest so much time in creating a new campaign, BUT it is full of bugs. There are so many bugs, that someone needs a diploma in entomology for counting all the different bugs, which can be found in this mod. For example, Mission 24 in Chapter 2. These stupid cargo trains don't get it to dock with a trade lane WITHOUT wasting at least 10 minutes only for turning around the corner and when they finally entered the trade lane and also reached the end of it, the mission waypoint is still at the beginning of the trade lane we were just flying through! So when I enter formation, they are flying ALL THE WAY BACK (of course without using the trade lane and you can believe me, flying in Sol System WITHOUT the trade lane is NOT fun!)


    When I tried it for the (felt) 50th time to end that mission, I was so annoyed that I wanted to blow up the cargo trains. But not even THAT worked! So I shut down the game, because I don't want to have a high blood pressure.


    Well, this are just a few things, I hope you forgive me


    Greetings

  • Crossfire 1.9 crashes after Mission 20 (?), when Nomad Carrier was destroyed

    Hi,


    I have a major problem with Crossfire 1.9. I am playing the Crossfire campaign and in Mission 19 (or 20?) of Chapter 2, I have to fight against this Nomad Strike Carrier. So far so good, but when the carrier has been blown to dust, suddenly Freelancer crashes and I have to restart it. The major problem: the game crashed, before it could do auto save after the destruction of the carrier.


    Does anyone have the same problem? I am using Windows 7, Freelancer is english version, patched to 1.1, all installations were made properly.


    How can I fix this?


    Best regards

  • The Inner Core

    Hi,
    Back again.
    Well, I investigated the system an hour long. You were right, it was not empty.
    Besides of the anomaly, the black hole and the 3 non-dockable Hypergates it was full of these glittering little mirco "stars" or whatever they are. There were also three suns and three gas fields. :D
    I should have told in my last post, that I am playing CF in Singleplayer. So, is it still unusual, that the whole Inner Core System is empty?
    Regards

  • The Inner Core

    Hi at all,
    I have a problem and I did not find any answer on this jet.
    I traveled through the Hypergate in the Omega-3 system to the Inner Core System (if it is that with the black hole?).
    There I found nothing else than these three energy generators and "Hypergate" which I can not dock to. And I found an anomaly, which I can dock, but it brings me to nowhere, because I leave this anomaly at the same point, where I entered it.
    How can I get to the DK systems through the IC System? I have a good reputation with the DK and, by the way, there are no NPCs in this system. It is absolutly empty.
    Regards

  • Altair Dom'Kavash systems

    Can anyone tell me where the Jump Gate/Hole to the Sirus Sector is in Yakutsk System?
    And, by the way, I read a lot about "we got to this or that system". Is it only possible (or recommended) to explore the DK and all the other alien Systems in Multiplayer together with squadrons of other players or is it also possible to do this alone?
    Regards

  • Going on with the mission?

    Hi,
    I am playing the campaign and I am now in the "free time" before the mission against Tekagis Arch starts. In this "free time" I have to earn over 13 Million credits, for which I would need hundreds of missions for the Blood Dragons. Also there are no goods with high prices, which I can trade. And because I am nearly everyones enemy, I also can't sell the emprisoned pilots in my cargo hold (especially the Lieutenants fetch a good price, 100.000 Credits each!).
    Does anyone know, how I can finish this "free time" quicker? Is there in any system a prison, which is friendly to me and which I can reach through the X-3034 System?
    I would be thankfull for answers.
    Regards
