yes NPC chatter worked for me

server is not showing in the connection list

Hello,

What are the differences between bretonnia destroyer/kusari destroyer/liberty cruiser and rheinland cruiser in CF 1.9?
Could someone indicate where I may find some precise information? the ingame infocards are not useful..only reliable info is ship hull, and even after you buy them, there is no way to see the exact stats of your armament..
I just don't have time to raise money and buy them all 4 to test them, and I searched the forum but didn't really find what I'm looking for (I'm looking for stats: turret-main cannon range/damage/refire rate; shield stats; ship speed etc.)
I already found where to buy them so I'm not asking for locations

p.s.I still didn't explore coalition/dom kavash space: are there any buyable destroyers/cruisers in those territories? just in general, not asking for precise location

thanks!
bye

hello,
since two days (17/10) server is not saving my progress. Whatever I do, when i reload my char, I'm always in Nomad Lair (last position saved?) and all killstats/equipment/exploration obtained during playing session is gone.
Also a friend of mine (Quark) is having the same problem, I tried to let him take the first mission datadisk, but when he hits the wreck, nothing comes out of it
thanks,
bye

server 2/128 unable to connect

rheinland cruiser doesn't make any sound when shooting

infocard says armament: guns/turrets 0/15; actual armament is 1 cruiser forward gun/7 cruiser primary turrets

hello,
sorry to bother again but I didn't get an answer:
bought a Retribution class battleship (one of the new 1.9 ships I think)
ship cost 40million
ship resell: 325.000$
ship is fully repaired
is it correct?
A 10million ship I resold at around 3.2 million
thanks,
bye

well, sorry to hear that..seems I have a huge problem then

about the resell price, the ship is completely repaired so..shouldn't it be higher than 325.000?
yes trade lanes work, they are just veeery tricky to use

do destroyers/cruisers behave the same way?

thanks for the answer
bye

hello everyone,
a couple of things, sorry if it's the wrong section of the forum
ok, first of all for the last couple of days I was unable to access this forum , it showed a white page and a long string of strange stuff about "feed", I checked now and it's ok, so I don't know when my problem was fixed: was it only me?

Second and most important: I bought a Batlleship class Retribution

-the stats said it had 600 cargo, but without any weapons mounted, and the only equipment mounted is sensors, tractor, armor classX, and power generator classV, the actual cargo available is only 200. It says 400 out of 600 is being used, but my cargo is absolutely empty, so what is going on? I also tried to unmount the armor class X, same thing

- it is absoultely impossible for me to navigate in an asteroid field, the ship starts bouncing around like a pinball, and then it suddenly gets stuck (I think it's due to the shape of this battleship, basically a huge humpback with a snowplow in the front, not kidding nor complaining). THe big asteroids get stuck on the hump, blocking me and reducing my speed to 0 even if I was going at cruise speed. To unblock the ship is quite tedious, I have to roll around, go backwards and things like that. These two things put together (ship bouncing and getting stuck) are making things impossible for me.

- I get stuck while trying to dock with trade lanes, and sometimes even when docking to stations. Very frustrating, if the "hump" or any other part of the ship is even slightly out of the blue circle that activates when you get access granted to a trade lane, it just stops there. Unblocking it is a real pain, so I just end up cruising to the next trade lane.

- the autopilot has suddenly become quite useless, since it kind of doesn't understand the dimensions of the ship or the probable collisions, it keeps hitting stuff and trying to do crazy maneuvers that obviously will not obtain any result when: docking with trade lanes, navigating an asteroid field, docking with stations. Coupled with the absence of thrusters to fix the position manually, it really really becomes frustrating

So, the manoeuvrability issues could be a feature, I mean I am aware I'm not driving a fighter, so I just have to get used maybe.
But the cargo issue and the asteroid thing are literally killing me.
Right now I'm without money (spend it all on the ship), unable to trade or navigate efficiently, I actually stopped playing unitl I can get some aswers from the more experienced players on this forum

please help, and I really hope the cargo thing is a bug, because if it's not, it's game over for me. If a ship says 600 cargo, it should be 600 no? or is it something in common with all battleships?
help!
bye

oh and p.s.: where are the shields? I mean, I figured out they are incorporated in the ship, but where are the stats? how many points, recharge rate, something?
thanks
p.p.s: the resell price of the ship is 325.000$...the ship costs 40mil

THANK YOU
it worked perfectly
only thing is that after importing, you also need to right click on the new account and "activate" it...took a couple of tries to figure it out

thanks again for the help,
bye

hi micheal,

wait maybe I didn't explain myself well:

I have 2 pcs in my home, I use my account on my pc, and my brother created his account on my laptop

we don't share accounts, we have 2 different players, 2 different pcs, and 2 different freelancer/crossfire installations, we just share the internet connection through a wifi router
is this against the rules?

what I would like to do is transfer the account from my laptop on his pc, so he can play from his house..then eventually when he comes back to my house, transfer it again on the laptop so we can play together

is your explanation usable in this situation?

thanks

hello,
looked around and couldn't find a solution, so sorry if it has already been explained or if this is the wrong section:

how can I play with my account on another pc? my brother (Ultratanicus) started playing on my laptop, but since we live in different houses, he would like to play with his same account also from his pc, without having to start all over.
I found FLAccountmanager in the downlooad section, but I can't figure out how it works, is it what I need?
I tried to manually copy the folder in Mydocuments/freelancer (using win7) on his pc since I thought it was where the player data was being saved, but it didn't work

thanks,
bye

now it's working again

nope, down again after 10 mins, restarted, reconnected, then down again after 2 mins

server seems online with 1/128 players but does not accept connection

oops sorry double post

server seems online with 1/128 players but refuses to connect

ok got it..wow it's more complex than I thought

time to blow some Synthfood transports, although it's a good "cover" for my smuggling operations..I have to think this out

bye

hi,

thank you Abras for your quick response,

ok I understood the licence thing, the npcs not speaking, the docking to hostile stations and the dynamic economy issue.

Concerning relations/affiliations: I already knew about the relations between allied/enemy factions, what I'm saying is: shouldn't I be affiliated with the faction I have the highest relations with? So if I'm +8 with rogues, and +7 with Synthfoods, why am I affiliated to Synthfoods? or the affiliation calculation is determined by a sum of all the relations you have with allies/enemies of a certain faction?

bye

hello,
I'd like to signal some possible bugs in MP and ask a couple of questions that could be related to them:

-as I mentioned in a previous post, the comunications seem to be deactivated. I don't get any response from npcs when trying to open channels, don't get any "battle comments" nor the famous "freelancer alfa 1 dash 1 (or whatever) you are clear to depart"..only get the voice message "dock granted" or "dock denied, destination is too far". No big deal as I already said, absolutely not gamebreaking, but just asking

- I am able to dock with hostile stations (and I meand red hostile-trying-to-kill-you factions), is it a feature?

-relevant with the relations issue, I recently bribed the liberty rogues, so now my relations are like +8 with them, but my affiliation is with Synthfoods (slightly more than +7). I also have better relations than Synthfoods with at least other 2 factions, like Ageira tech and Bounty Hunters. Is it a feature? Am I missing something on how relations/affiliations work?

- how do licences work now? I read there was a lot of talk on in the past on modifying the licence system. I play a smuggler kind of Han Solo freelancer, always mounted my licence since 1.9, but I don't understand what it actually does. My mistake, or there were no changes?

- the weapons merchants distribution has changed, I don't seem to find stuff where it was previously available (not spoiling anything but I'm sure you know what I'm saying..),although the description of the planet remained the same. So you can read things in planet description like "this is one of the most advanced armories in the entire galaxy (or something like that)", but, well, it's not anymore Just a detail..

- was the dynamic economy deactivated? I seem to find the same prices and goods, and they don't change during time. Am I missing something?

- I am not able to be precise on this, but I'm sure I read strange things when selecting targets like: "veteran mike reynolds (making this up)-FIRE WEAPON GROUP 6", as if parts of text that don't belong there end up in the target description. I'm pretty sure it happened with the xenos, and I'm positive it does not happen in kusari space with Golden Crisantemus and Dragons. Just a detail, but yeah I wanted to tell you

Finally, I wanted to say I never had any sort of crash nor lag running the game with all the bells and whistles and max possible resolution (except for server related issues), no problems whatsoever installing and activating the mod-you just have to be precise and careful, CF is a complex mod and thus requires dedication and attention when installing it, and that you understand a minimum on how pc's work :), and that your work is unbelievable and amazing, thank you OP for your truly unique mod.

bye

p.s. sorry for the weird english, it's not my first language

hello,

I'm having the same problem Lex Talionis pointed out: in MP the comunications with npcs don't work. I don't get the "battle" comments either,like when you're about to destroy someone and you see the yellow brackets around your target
not a big deal, I actually thought it was a feature introduced to reduce lag or whatever
in SP it does work
ciao

hello,

server seems to be down,
was flying around in Texas, got the red lag icon in proximity of LPI Huntsville, but game did not crash. Instead, it would not let me dock anymore. Killed the process with task manager, and now it won't let me log in
had been playing for at least 2 hours without problems
just wanted to inform you,
bye
