  • Re-allocating CF Systems to other Regions (Discussion purposes only)

    Quote from Portalearth

    Okay. I think i get where you're coming from. I just noticed a pattern, for example, that the CF systems located around Rhineland were put under the "Rhineland" Regin. The ones around Liberty grouped under Liberty etc. For Listing Nomad and Unknown systems, i'd consider Unknown systems more easter eggy/Bonus systems, that's just me though. And honestly, with a maxed out ship you can pick up the Unknown holes pretty easily on the scanners


    Wombat: Unknown Systems I'm also unsure about. Show they be "assigned" to a region or just maybe left in the "unassigned grouping. As I have said elsewhere, I have no difficult having an unassigned group. I've included one already and I'm likely to add to if I follow AJay's advice. Why not include the Unknowns? Just because they are overrun by Nomads doesn't mean they belong in their region.

    I'll be honest though, I've played Freelancer since it's been released, Played in a Halo Total Conversion mod that altered combat to the point of games of chicken in ships the size of the Corsair Dreadnaught at speeds as fast (or faster) of a Admin Ragnarok. Eventually i Found Crossfire but at the time, i was so burnt out on the vanilla Singleplayer, i couldn't do it again just to get to the CF missions. So i went straight to MP. That was over 10 years ago. TLDR I never played the CF singleplayer


    Wombat: Yes understand. I'm soooooooooooooooooo glad I've got through the CF single player missions. Now I am a real freelancer. Go anywhere, do anything, setup so I have no enemies (other than the Nomads, Dom'Kavash, etc. of course). I'm tied of fighting and killing. Maybe that's why I'm not in MP. When you get to my age, it all seems so futile. I survived the 2nd world war in the UK as a baby and I'm grateful for that. Of course I play in "God mode", but I justify that by shooting at no one. Well ...... occasional Nomads out of sheer frustration. ;)


    Wombat: Thank you. Nice chatting . :thumbup:

    Okay, I've taken a look at this proposal and here's my thoughts.


    Wombat: Its not really a proposal. Sorry I'm being very pedantic, but I'm not suggesting any changes. That's well beyond my station as Private First Class. ;) Others here (OP maybe?) will decide all of that and that's as it should be.

    -To me, Hyperion doesn't feel like it belongs to Sirius sector at all, but still, the mod places it there and there's little I can do about it.


    Wombat: I don't have any trouble with that. Its one of the ways out of the Sirius Sector into the new sectors.


    Quote

    -Having Nomad Systems as a separate territory seems legit, IDK.


    Wombat: :thumbup:


    Quote

    -Leaving Custodian, Nephele, etc in Crossfire Worlds makes little sense. I think they also should be placed in Independent Worlds (abolishing Crossfire Worlds category altogether), or X-3043 and adjacent systems (except Omicron Alpha) moved into Crossfire worlds.


    Wombat: I love the first option. Will I move them now? 8o Then only 4 systems left in CF System.


    Quote

    -Oh, did I say Omicron Alpha? Omicron Alpha and Gamma, I think, belong to the Edge Worlds.


    Wombat: No problem ...... where ever ..... just out of the CF region ...... ;)


    Quote

    -You also left out Omicron Beta and Tau 37. I believe their place is also in Edge Worlds.


    Wombat: Wow!!! Your right!!! I'll also have a look ......


    Quote

    -The Corridor has nothing to do with Kusari. It bridges Bretonia and X-3043. Either move it to Bretonia, to Independent Worlds or Crossfire Worlds.


    Wombat: Thanks. I'll have a look.


    Quote

    -While Utopia is located in the Edge Worlds, it is a major Rheinland military base, so having it as a Rheinland enclave seems legit.


    Wombat: Ok. Will again have a look.


    Thanks for such a detailed response. All joking aside, I 'll have a close look at your suggestions. You are far better acquainted on the appropriate System/Region relationship than me, so I will be easily persuaded.


    I think you've just about emptied out the Crossfire Systems Region except for "Purian Lake" and "Sea of Shadows". These could go into the "Unassigned Regional Grouping". I personally have no difficultly with a system being regionally unassigned.

    Quote from Martind Forlon

    Location of clan base is not public knowledge unless clan want have it so. Clan chosen RP may play important role in this. Next reason is that base can be shifted and position is not tied with ecliptic (can be up or down the plane). Imo good way is/can be put base name into description with note that's clan base. However if clan leader rly want add it to map, then why not, but will be nice leave such decision on him.


    No problems. :thumbup:

  • Re-allocating CF Systems to other Regions (Discussion purposes only)

    Thanks for the response PortalEarth. :thumbup: Just a couple of points of clarification:


    - "SP setup" would have been better expressed as "SP game mode". To differentiate from the MP game mode.
    - "benefit the whole community". It wasn't necessarily prepared with that is mind. It was to better integrate the CF2.0 systems into the original Freelancer. Hence moving them to already recognised regions.


    It is of interest that I didn't " ...... group them in relation to their closest inhabited territory ..... " as you suggested. That was purely consequently and something I was unaware of. My method involved viewing each CF2.0 system in the light who controlled it. In fact I had to introduce a new region (Nomads Region) just to handle some of the systems; namely the Unknown Systems where they appear to rule almost unopposed. There were systems I couldn't transfer: the links were just not there. Hence there remains a Crossfire System region but for only a few systems (6 in total where currently it's 34).


    In conclusion. It was never meant as a tool to "assist the community". It was simply to re-categorise CF System systems. If, as a consequence, it does assist the community, so be it. However I leave it to others to be the judge of that. ;)

  • Re-allocating CF Systems to other Regions (Discussion purposes only)

    It has always surprised me that in the Regional Order on Wiki, we have a region "CF Systems". To my way of thinking the systems identified in the CF Region (and there's a lot of them) should be part of existing regions. I started playing around with it: where would I put them if it was solely up to me? 8)
    Somebody here at SWAT Portal suggested I publically release my suggestions purely for discussion purposes. So here it is (see attachment). It is based upon SP setup only. (That's all I know about). It also allocates the Unknown Systems (where possible). It has no status other than maybe a talking point. Enjoy. ;)

  • Important! Pls read

    I'm a real novice here and it shows ...... but I am prepared to donate (and will do so shortly) and to give up my time to help in whatever way I am capable of doing. At the moment I'm "fiddling" with completing/"improving" map images for Crossfire2.0 Sirius Sector. Sorry Michael ........ you seem to have the overall responsibility for this. However, every image I produce goes though Martind Forlon for approval and its subsequent possible inclusion. But this thread is about a much bigger issue and my "fiddles" are irrelevant. If I can help in any small way .....I'm here. ;)


    Edit: Problem with PayPal ....... working on it ...... :beaengstigend:
    Edit2: Fixed. :thumbup:
