    Edit
    Forgot it's not about motherships anymore

    you can still come with your cruiser, this way the heavy battleships need to protect you and the repairship at once (difficulty raised) :)

    personally spoken i think this is one of the major problem, people dont want to lose progress as they put much time into it.
    I also thought about bringing SOC actually alive, but dont want to lose/recreate all my chars - so yes this is what people drives away, mostly.

    to point 1.: i actually dont always want to compare with Discovery but they made it that smaller objects bumps off the BS and IMHO it's pretty annoying to fly through an asteroid-field with a BS, it's nearly impossible to navigate through (especially in the Manticore).
    So personel question: is it possible to make BS go "through" asteroids or even bump them out of the way? this would be pretty awesome!

    if these newcomers were registered to the swat-forum as they should be then they can have any question answered from anybody online. i doubt that any newcomer wont get any info about whatsoever - this is not the problem. the problem is, most of them are (as i think) simply not really interested in RP as we know it :/


    We need some who can explain and organize some so called unofficial events.


    1. what do you mean by "unofficial events"?
    2. who should do that?

    yep as Cresthen said, it's even for trained pilots very hard to hit npc with missiles (actually for "normal" npc there should be no need). and this only works in direct dogfight - training there is highly advised and this couldnt be done better than online, with veterans who might give you some hints or tips how to flight/fight in space ;)
    but for the beginning (of Crossfire) stick to the guns and later you might use missiles (against nomads e.g.)


    P.S.: still no info to no.3) :/


    Greetings markgixer6 and welcome to Crossfire.
    No.1) they dont do anything because they dont get a track, that's why NPC using now CM's in fights (not like vanilla), increasing the difficulty level to fight them. so it's advised not to use/waste money and weap-slots on these for newbies. So it's no bug, all fine.


    No.2)Yes, thats why NPC now using Bots/Bats in fights and their AI is much more increased. An advice here is to take a shieldbreaker weapon (stunpulse for example) instead of e.g. missiles, this increases your effectiveness while in combat.


    No.3)IMO it is not possible without console-commands, but im not quite sure about this, so i cant really give you detailled information.


    Hopefully these advices will help you in SP and/or MP if you decide to join us online :)

    uhm no. i already meant the "freelancing" cops and mercs. there are just too little against the massive amounts of pirates crawling lately through the systems (mostly X^^)... all the rest are (i think) civilians who minds their own business, thus it would also be difficult to advice them an active part in the RP.
