    Since the Blood Dragons


    are allied with the GC Chicks, you may not be able to land at Ainu. In that case, you'll


    have to win their favor by killing some of their enemies. Try attacking some Kusari Navy,


    Kusari Police, Farmers Alliance, and/or Hogosha ships. Of course, attacking Kusari Police


    and Navy ships will have immediate and interesting consequences. 8)
    But it will only take


    a few of those to bring you into neutrality with them and the Blood Dragons. Then you can


    explore Chogoku and Hiruga at your leisure.

  • Just a little InFo

    If you look in your Freelancer Mod Manager, it will tell you what mods are


    compatible. If it warns you not to run Crossfire with OSPlayer at the same time, you should


    heed it. With a mod as extensive as Crossfire, it's probably best to run it without mixing


    other mods. And, if you try to use Crossfire for Multiplayer and you've got other mods


    installed, you may crash the server, which is just bad citizenship. To say the least. So


    stick with CF; there's plenty there to play with. With 20 new systems and 40 new ships,


    who needs another mod anyway? :D

  • NPC Can't Make Up .........

    I've seen this too Chief. After I won the allegiance of the Outcasts by attacking


    Planetform ships, almost all the Bretonia houses became neutral. I'd be cruising through


    Bretonia surrounded by "white" neutral ships, and, as I approached, they would suddently


    turn red and start attacking. And neutral pirates will automatically attack if you have


    loot they want and refuse to give it to them.
    It's one of the little things that adds


    mystery and excitement to the Freelancer/Crossfire experience. :-)

  • Crossfire 1.56 released

    Pardon me, Mr. Operator, but what the heck's a Data Storm


    Blocker?
    And, it seems our lucrative VIP's to Hawaii run has been scrapped, or at least


    been made much less profitable. What was the rationale behind that? So far, I've noticed


    the addition of tractorable escape pods and Nuclear Fusion devices. Any interesting new


    weapons you'd like to tell us about?

  • Crossfire 1.56

    Just move or


    copy your saved games to a different folder before you install the new mod. Then, after you


    install the new mod and activate in FLMM, recopy the saved games to the existing saved games


    folder (My Games/Freelancer/Accts/SinglePlayer in Win2000) and you're all set. When you


    relaunch, you'll be running the newer mod, but will have access to your saved games.

  • Victorious

    if you're using Windows


    2000, just hit the printscreen key. The file is saved as a bitmap in your My Pictures


    folder. The default file name is screen 1, 2, 3, etc. Then you can open and edit them in any


    bitmap editor, such as PhotoShop, PhotoPaint, or PaintShop Pro. The trick is capturing the


    scene you want while you're flying and shooting. :-)

  • More than 1 year Crossfire

    The manual makes no reference


    to processer speed. The setup screen during installation says the minimum recommended is


    600mhz, but it will continue installation at my meager 450mhz.

    no the warblade was created


    from the scratch


    The other ship is the Heretic from Privateer 2: The Darkening.


    The Heretic is the first really great fighter you can fly as you progress in money and skill


    in P2. I guess it's just a coincidence then. Now I'll have to change my sig then. :-D

    So the whole time you had Crossfire you didn't even got to the server?!



    NO, I've been on the server, but had trouble with it due to my anemic processor. So I


    play mainly SP. I was thinking of givin MP another try, but have been unable to log on.



    Op, what would you say is the minimum processor speed necessary for a smooth Multiplayer


    experience?

  • Invincibility



    You'll just have to change tactics. I've noticed that if you charge a ship and fire on


    it on full afterburner, the added momentum of your ship increases the damage. (Found that


    out by accident). Try charging the ship at full speed, do as much damage as possible, then


    get on his or her tail and chase em down. If you're on his or her arse firing, the other


    ship can't continually reload bots and shields.


    Re: Nomad weapons: You can't buy


    em, but you can blow them off Nomad ships. This is much easier in sp than Mp for some


    reason, but I play mainly SP and I have four Noman energy cannons on my Warblade. They're


    great because they're level 10 guns with zero power drain. Accept no substitues. :D

  • Crossfire 1.53 (new release)

    C'mon, man, read the rest of the CF 1.5x threads...


    You mean


    like the one that says "Don't use 1.55?". That's nice but why then does the home page say,


    " To play on our server you will need to download the "Crossfire Mod 1.55"


    Or how


    about the one that says don't download anything. Wait for version 1.56? That's nice, but


    if the current method of connecting is to use a version that doesn't exist yet, how the


    hell are the 3 users online connecting?

    One shouldn't have to read every single


    thread on the friggin forum to get basic information about how to connect to the server.
