  • Elite:Dangerous

    I can't see anything wrong with him jumping on the bandwaggon. If anything, I trust him to pull this off before CR. And if he get's the good old elite a much needed boost into the current technology, then even better.
    But at the end of the day, none of those two will be Freelancer, and that is all I care about. I will take a copy of Freelancer into the grave with me just to be sure I can play it in the "afterlife" :-)

  • Battlestar Galactica Blood & Chrome on YouTube

    Caprica had some good potential and the casting wasn't to bad either. However, the story developed so slow that a lot of viewers lost interest and the ratings dropped so far that SciFy decided to pull the plug.


    Anyway, the next episodes of Blood & Chrome are out today. Can't wait ;-)

  • FreeLancer 2 By Chris Reberts ??? There's going to be an anoucement on October.

    Let's just wait and see until the official announcment. I personaly don't put my hopes up to far. A new game requires a new engine, dedication, a good team and tons of money. Not to mention the years of development and testing. And to be honest, Chris is not really known to see thing to the end when it concerns games. No offence intended.
    I rather carry on playing my usual mods and wait for Crossfire 2.0.

  • FreeLancer 2 By Chris Reberts ??? There's going to be an anoucement on October.

    I registered on his website also and I'm now a member. There is a lot of speculation going on and I fear that expectations are set way to high. Let's wait until the official announcement to see what Chris really has in mind. Without a good team and the finances behind him, I'm not putting my hopes up high and rather wait for Crossfire 2.0.
    I was also rather put off by the Disco community trying to take over the forum there.

  • Missions/Quests

    Thanks Cygna, I will be on a business trip to Germany next week, leaving Sunday, so the earliest I can be online is Sunday late afternoon from my Hotel. Cya then mate.

  • Missions/Quests

    I agree with the missions. They easy enough to make money and should be achievable by any newcomer with a half decent ship. Especially in the Vanilla systems. For more experienced players, more complex missions with bigger pay outs would be a nice addition.
    Speed is indeed fine. I just mentioned this earlier as it does feel like a roller coaster at times zooming in a trade lane with a speed of 10 000.
    I'm an old-timer on some mods and I always try to help newcomers out whenever I can. So it is refreshing to come to this mod and experience the same welcome. This unfortunately is a rare occurrence in most mods these days. I already liked CF playing the SP missions and this welcome was the icing on the cake for me. Don't expect to get rid of me that easy from now on ;-)

  • Missions/Quests

    Couldn't agree more Cygna. I played through the SP missions and loved what OP has done to extend it. Also the visuals are extremely well made, even though my laptop is not quiet up to it and I have to turn the performance options way down to make the game play smooth. Unfortunately the laptop is my only option at the moment as I'm on the road a lot on business.
    I would never compare mods with each other as each one has it's unique way. Some are better some are worst. Crossfire will definitely be staying on my computer until the day I'm to old to carry on playing :-)


    I can't wait to see what Crossfire 2.0 has in store and also looking forward to Freelancer 2 OP is working on.


    Cya all in space.

  • Missions/Quests

    Hey Cygna, been looking for you on CF this weekend. Must have missed you online. Anyway, as you know, I'm not a fan of trade lanes and I've been on New Univese too but I have to say that I do like the trade lane speed and the idea of using vertical trade lanes. You don't see that every day.


    Anyway, I finally got around to spend a bit more time on CF and I do like it a lot. Within the first 20 minutes, someone gave me some hints and prisoners to trade in. He also transferred some money into my bank to help me get going. As they say, first impressions count and I had a very good first impression. Not something you see on many mods these days.


    So, I'm looking forward seeing you all out there somewhere.

  • Crossfire 2.0

    I can see where you come from Gibbon. I got about 10 mods running happily on my system, but in every one of those, everybody is flying the same ships because they think it's the best. When I get a ship, I take my time and read the stats first, so I know what I may or may not buy. Also, I like to have at least one of each class on my account.
    I would like to see better cruise speeds on LF as they are normally used as "hit and run" or "peak and run". Also a shorter time to get to cruise speeds would be nice for LF, say 2 sec cruise. With that, they won't need cloak or special weapons in my opinion.


    HF could be slightly slower with reaching cruise speed in maybe 4 secs and slightly better weapons. Cruise speed should be slower than LF but faster than VHF.


    VHF could have the best weapons and equipment, but slower to turn and to reach cruise speed.


    I wouldn't bother with cloak as everybody would want a ship with cloak and the others get ignored again, even though they might be better ships.


    Just my thoughts.
