You should do it even before you install CF as it can cause problems u might not be aware of

The 1.6 CF mod is an extremely complicated mod and most the time problems come from the installation to avoid this install the mod in these following steps

1/ deactivate all mods in FLMM and then go to tools--> restore backups

2/ uninstall FLMM

3/uninstall Freelancer (make sure you have your MP account ID recorded somewhere safe) on the uninstall options for FL tick the box saying remove all user data saved games and screenshots make sure anything you wish to keep is backed up and safely stored and do not select reinstall do a complete uninstall

4/ run a file search for any lurking files that will disrupt the operation of the mod

5/ reinstall FL and make sure you restart your pc

6/ reinstall FLMM then close it

7/ unzip 1.6 in FLMM then close it again

8/ reopen FLMM and activate 1.6

9/ play the best FL mod around

following these steps takes around 10 min but it minimises the chances of having problems when you play CF

jet li or chow yun fat?

There will a lot of things to test in the 1.6 update 88 new ships to start with so i was thinking maybe if we can post exactly what ships and equipment we have tested and how it was tested so we dont duplicate completed tests and are more efficient

hmmmm the new leader of DC is called phoenix, its a good omen time for the re birth of DC! congratz pho

pc is right in any pvp based event some people are targeted more frequently but in this event u just undock and go back out and someone has only scored 1 point but in top gun for example if the same thing happens that person is out for that round no second chance its all over for them.

also because the fight lasts one hour you can rest for a few minutes but its at your choice if you wish to take the chance of not scoring any points.

after what i saw Friday night im convinced that this event will prove popular and any possible imbalances will average out over the course of the 60 mins.

also wait until the first few league tables are posted I'm sure the competitive nature in everybody will provide motivation for lots of people [8]

there was an impromptu trial run last night and the basic concept works very well

The Crossfire Grand melee with integrated CF pvp league

Each and every Friday the CF grand melee will be run the aim of the event is for the participants to enter the chosen battle system and fight non stop for 60 minutes.

The rules are any ship or weapon is permitted use of nanobotts and shield batteries is prohibited and all server rules must be followed

There will be 2 categories Freelancer and clan members the winner of each category will be the player with the most kills and prizes for runners up 2nd and 3rd and also an overall event winner. The prize money will be

20 million credits for both category winners
10 million credits for both category 2nd places
5 million credits for both category 3rd places
And 5 million credits for the overall event winner

Also an integral part of this event will be the CF pvp league. This will be calculated by each individuals kills in each event records will be kept and the placing with in the league will be decided by the kills and by event wins and runners up placing the scoring system will be

20 points per event category win
10 points per event category 2nd place
5 points per event category 3rd place
1 point per kill during each Fridays event

After each Fridays event the current standings will be posted, every month the player with highest score in the league will receive a special prize and a medal for his/her signature

Space ship dimensions website

have a look at this u can compare the sizes of many sci fi ships from fighters to cap ships

throw them in a bath of red hot water the pull them out and rub chili powder onto them then duck them in cold water the pores on the skin open in the hot water then the cold water shuts them and seals the chili powder in very painful

if op allows me to replace the trade assault for this the prize will have to be calculated but as it s with this system of scoring that's over 70 mill handed out each event

nor the cookies and fairy cakes

I have tried many different configurations for the trade assault but the same problems crop up not having ppl willing or able to be the traders and picking teams and ppl leaving half way through. Friday is usually very busy and it deserves a good event so after another failed trade assault i had some inspiration and me and wavey cooked this up it combines pvp and elements of the CF tournament and is easy to run ppl just show up and fight nonstop no rounds or fuss getting organised just pure pvp with a twist and a system or recording and publishing long term player pvp rankings with out any complications

Op can i please drop the trade assault and run this instead?

having the memory card thrown in was good as it makes the deal even better they cost around £25-£40
