  • URGENT - Experimental Ship Stolen! (2.09 16:30 GMT)

    Today the Silver Arrows Cambridge Labs' authorities reported that their second experimental ship nicknamed Firefly, designed for top-secret covert operations got stolen by an unknown persona affiliated with Corsairs.


    As we don't know the exact location of the ship, we are releasing the information to the public and hope that Sirius freelancers can help.


    The Bretonian Intelligence Department had intercepted message stating the time of possible transit: 01.09.12 16:00Z and 02.09.12 16:30Z, more coming soon.


    Fortunately, ship had no mounted weapons at the dock so the ship itself is not dangerous, but its consort can be very dangerous.


    We only need the information regarding ship's location and (possible) wingmen - do NOT intercept the ship, that's work of our agents.

    Some words about the newbies...


    Well, i'm kinda noob too (started one month ago) and the only thing that kept me ingame at the start is vanilla FL knowledge. I knew who is who, that trading is only a start and when the real action takes place. Most newbies don't.
    They just takeoff from pl. Manhattan, start exploring and get exploded several times at Texas or Magellan - at this point they start trading. Trading in one system is reeally boring so they just Alt+F4.


    The forum is mostly about RP, events and clan talks, Lexicon is not very user-friendly...well it is for some purposes... but i think there must be some pages for newbs guiding 'em at the start and containing all the "important links" and a BIG RED BUTTON from Download page leading to the guide. Pardon for so many words :)

  • My two cents

    Hi,


    Here is my tiny list of things that would look nice in CF 2.0 8). :


    1. FINALLY adequate BS bumping system, so if,say, Dreadnought hits the Patriot Pat flies away and Dnt stays on its course (obvious thing, eh).
    2. Not just flyable but even dockable Cap Ships. Well, it can act like carrier - but the loss of it would be more painful to fleet.
    3. AI enhancement and (especially) autopilot routes. It's dumb as a log and completely unuseful atm.
    4. Some special thrusters that would affect the strafing capabilities of one's ship.
    5. Intuitive ticket system for bugs\suggestions\news etc. It's pretty easy to do, I think
    6. With ticket system it's even possible to do a "rolling" distribution, so game would patch itself at the launch if update is available.
    7. Modular architecture. The archive is just HUGE. The ones with not-very-powerful PCs or bad connection do not need the HD textures\bg's\et cetera, so they would dl just the tiny package with all really needed stuff.
    What do you think?
    Thank you


    P.S. Well, what's the problem with mount points? They're defined somewhere, so why we can't just make the new types o' these?
