  • Gurm

    Nope, not yet :evil: Altair is a giant hostile cul-de-sac...bring your lunch and your posse! CF 1.6 (If you have been watching the thread :rolleyes: ) will likely change that...

  • CF1.6

    OP, the changes you just listed are amazing! :D I'm wondering, will the larger new ships, like gunboats & cruisers, be able to dock at station moors or standard docking rings? The trading opportunities would be vastly improved if these ships could be used as armed traders, docking at even the larger bases. The same would be true if the planets in the X-systems had mooring fixtures... 8)

  • Online Games

    For what it's worth, Freelancer/CrossFire is the very first PC game I ever played that I liked enough to even attempt to play online. Part of my trepidation was the number of reports I got from hardcore gamers about cheats, snobbish clans and hostile/rude players. Well, here at CF, at least, I have been happy to discover that these accounts are the exception, rather than the rule. Had it been otherwise, I would not be here today. I find it amzing still, that people from all around the globe can meet in real time and have fun together, without the burden of economies, politices, race or other divisions. It's this aspect that has begun to reverse my own cynicism about human nature, and increase my desire to help make the world a happier place!


    Thanks to all of you for being, and becoming, outstanding examples of what humanity CAN be... :D

  • CF-stats

    This may already be a part of the next update fo the CF stat tool, but it would be nice to see "all players" again, and not just the top 100... :))

  • A Question!!!!

    I can't speak for others, but I am spending every available hour rebuilding my new characters, to the detriment of my sleep! Perhaps there is some seasonal change or events; the winter Olympics begin this week...not that I will have time to watch them :P I know of a few players who have recently relocated jobs or homes, and are on temporary leave from CF to put their affairs in order...

  • Splash damage

    When flying through a ship explosion, we currently hear and see debris impacting on the hull, so it seems logical that this would also cause more damage to one's own ship, especially a capital ship. I would expect nomad (and Dom K'vash?) ships to have a higher energy yield than human models, so blast radius would be proportionately larger... Great idea, I look forward to trying it, OP! :D

  • CF Database

    Sign me up! My main character has not yet been changed over to it's new corporate identity, so it has some of the most complete maps in Sirius. Tell me what features need to be logged, and in what format: I'm sure I know some other freelancers who are ready and willing to stand in this gap! [thumb]

  • bribes

    I can't imagine why anyone would be surprised or dismayed that server admin/SP's would have and use access to ANY communication passing over this, or any other server. If you are not out to cause trouble, you have nothing to be concerned about...With freedom comes responsibility; OP has granted amazing freedom of expression here, but many people have not acted responsibly in their flaming posts! Having thus played with fire, some are now indignant that they, too are burned[eek]

  • meaning of life

    I find it interesting that the world's most intelligent man (I forget his name), a mathematician, is convinced that he can prove God's existence mathematically... I wonder what the world's most intelligent woman (Marilyn Vos Savant?) thinks of his efforts... 8)

    like the original FL games wrecks, make it once only per char


    As far as I know, I can only salvage a wreck once per character NOW, so perhaps you are exposing a bug in the CF-specific wrecks I didn't know about?

  • meaning of life

    Who can demonstarate the physical or mechanical process by which protoplasm receives cognition? How does the sum of synaptic activity equate to a personality? How does one speciies so far outstrip all others in development, that it globally dominates the use of resources and the survival of all other species? There are evidences all around us that God exists, and it is questions like these which our science cannot answer. We may have theories about how the universe functions, but we cannot prove how the universe came into existence, or why virtually all life is built upon the same double-helix molecules, or a host of other questions.


    It takes faith to believe many "scientific" theories, because first causation is not something science can prove or demonstrate. My belief in God is not a tool to suppress fear, but rather a reasonable conclusion based upon evidences of the order with which the delicate balance of our fragile existence has been created...

    but when you fight someone and you only win because you used bots/bats is this really a win for you ?


    When I finally get a win, Marc, I'll let you know... 8)
