    Ok maybe i worded my post wrong for the message i was tryiing to present. We are not trying to be criminals. We are not wanting to smuggle for a way to make lots of money or to cause war between clans. We are offering an option of role play to get the fun going again. We as clans in the server are trying to decide what roles we can play to inject life and interest into the game. FOR EXAMPLE: BG is a police clan. Everyone knows it. They scan and try to cath people carrying contriband. Should i be scaned so what. If im carrying toliet paper in my ship i have no worries. If im carring nuke Bomb Parts... then im expecting BG to be looking for me or anyone else who may be doing it. IM INVITING them to play the role. If the catch me..im caught. If i choose to run..then they have the RIGHT to stop me with what force they choose. It is the role they play. I INVITE LP to hunt me down and try to take me out. If i get away im good. If not then they got me dead to rights and im atoms in the wind and they got the cargo whatever it is. That is the role they play. I make no retaliantions. I dont get the pack together and hunt them down. Why? Because they did what they are supose to do while playing the role. We are trying to stimulate action, fun, excitement into the server. Not get mad when we are caught up in the action. If Ronin take a police position it goes the same for them, the roles are not completely hammered out yet. when they are...let the games begin. That is what the aim is. Not war. Not retaliation. Not missunderstandings. FUN!!! is the key word here. I hope this clearifys things. Have fun..good hunting. see u n the server.

    I support our clan as smugglers. I dont see it as much of a change from what many of us already do. Who hasnt ran a load of Cardemine or used a Blackmarket item to make money? I think most of us have. What this means is that we can be open to the act of smuggling, but we dont want to be clasified as smuggliers. Who cares im a smuggler..ive been bringing in trains of drugs into Manhattan enough to keet it and the ajacet systems stoned until next new years! Its not as boring as the NewBerlin to Stuttgart route. As for mercenaries being hired for illegal acts. Well that is the perview of the Mercenary. A merc still has to AGREE to do a job when asked. So if a merc is assasinating or working for pirates...then he is doing it of his own free will. One point of being a mercenary is being able to choose the jobs that u attempt to do. Hence the risks involved with the job. The same applies to the smuggler. He may not run contriband all the time...but he is oviously not running legal good all the time either. This has its own risks involved. And risk of piracy is a risk edured by all..all of the time. Pirates dont distinguish between Merc, Smuggler, trader or the easter bunny if it means a quick score. So why all the fuss. If we going to do it. Lets do it. Quite jacking around and lets have some fun. Hope to see ya all soon.

    In this situation i dont see how being a mercenary can be illegal. Being a pirate may be an illegal profession but it is one that exists. There fore Independant merchants might want to have figher protection in areas where known piracy exists. That is where the Mercenary come into play. Police factions dont patrol all areas or system. Cant be everywhere at any given time. They do stem the act of Piracy but dont totaly prevent it. A mercenary Fighter escort can stay with a merchant at all times. Makes the act of piracy on such merchant much harder to attempt. Both are working for each others mutual benifit. The merchant is glad to pay for the protection and benifits by making it to his destination in one piece. The Mercenary benifits by getting finacially compensated for taking the risk involved of having to combat pirates should such merchant be attacked. What is the legal harm in that? I dont see any. Mercenary and Pirate are both dangerous porfessions in them selves..but Mercenary benefits by providing a service to thier customers where a pirate benefits at the expence of his target.

    Why else would us nutcase sqids have to keep their bacon out of the


    fire?


    LOL...Merry Xmas all!


    See ya in CF


    Chas

    Im getting


    exactly what u are Pandora...now that i know that i know it isnt just me. That is what i was


    searching for. Im still able to get into any vanilla server np. Only curious as to what is


    happening with CF is all and was i the one haveing this problem.

    Im


    having trouble accessing the server. Server sight says server not rebooting 2 player are in


    Server is not full.


    Still 2 in severver after 5 mins..no changer at all. Crossfire


    shows up on GSL and gets a ping. Ive deleted and reinstalled 1.56. Still no change. Is


    there a new bug? Or is testing underway and no one esle has access? Just wondering.


    Evrythings indicates i should be able to access..but im not. As if server is under reboot.


    ill try again.


    PiA_Chasman

    Aghhhh...How old is that in


    Dog years or should i say squid year?....lol.


    Happy Bithday J. Best wishes and all


    that good crap!!!!



    ROFLMAO


    Well everyone Merry Christmas, Haneka, or what


    ever serves for u this time of Year. Peace!


    Chas

    Well, im not going to take my friend Jtak's lead


    and cry but im glad Pandora and Chief are on good terms...


    No one is really a


    liablity in a clan. Everyone is good at something so those skills benefit the clan as a


    whole. Im not the greatest Fighter or Trader out there anyway, but who cares....we are in


    it for the fun of it so....Have fun.


    I wish success on your evdevors to create a


    clan Pandora. Its a big step and to have the fortatue to do it is admirable.


    As


    for the server crashing...there are still bad mods out there? I thought that was why 1.56


    was enacted. So that no one could come in with a corrupted mod. O well i guess some one


    has found a way to corrupt Ops hard work. I hope all will be sorted soon...lol.


    I


    thought maybe it crashed due to the great amount of people logging in yesterday. I havnt


    seen so many at a time before. It was insaine...lol.


    Population overload i though,


    but alas it wasnt. I hope to see ya all soon. I have to be back. Someone has to keep Jtak


    from getting lost in Collie space and such.


    (Hes going to luv that


    comment...lol)


    Again ill see ya all soon.


    PiA_Chasman[1stSqdL] *yea i get to


    brag a little bit!*

    I was reading one of


    the earlier pages about this game..it dealing with the warp buoies and stuff..


    I have


    a question. It is mentioned that this will be a much larger mod then CF. CF took me 5hrs to


    downLoad. Some of us are simply not hooked up to cable and use dial up...(at the moment)


    Doh! Would here possibly be a way we could have a disc sent with the mod burned on it


    provided we were willing to pay the cost of doing so?


    This might mean i have to wait


    a few days for it to arrive, however i wont have my phone tied up for 12hrs trying to


    download the mod. This is just a request to see how the idea would fly. This consept looks


    really good and i like it. My only consern ...(for myself) is if i will have time to devote


    to both CF or SL/R or Both. Each will be a supurb game to play. OP does good work and is a


    master a game codeing i can see. Have u thought of creating your own game and just making


    money?...lol. Your skills appear to be of such quality that you would be good at it. Hats


    off to OP. Well im off to the races..or trade lanes i should say.


    talk to yas


    soon.


    PiA_Chasman

    Yea...it is


    released. Downloading it as this very moment. 5 and a half hours until it finishes


    downloading. Cant wait. Its going to be a long night tonight...lol. Well ill see ya as


    soon as i can.


    PiA_Chasman

    Im ready to


    download...lol. Ive deleted all former mods and updates dealing with crossfire from comp.


    Have uninstalled and reinstalled FL. I dont know what else to do to create a clean


    slate..lol. A fresh start up for a fresh mod. All i await is the goahead. Yeaaaa! Well i


    lll check in later. Adios.

    This means it is not an update?...Oh well ill


    deal...lol. I did before. Ill just have to babysit my comp for another four hours then. I


    did it before i can do it again. I still look forward to the new mod. I do appreciate all


    the work u put into this OP. Ill see ya all soon. Umm..one question? Will all our


    charaters work? or will we have to start them from scratch? I dont think so, but im curious


    just the same. Adios for now. Im getting rid of all former mods and reinstalling FL.


    :D

    Great work OP. Cant wait for the new mod to hit the


    boards. Iwould offer to beta test, if i knew what beta testing is...but i dont so...oh


    well. Ill just wait for it like anyone else...lol. Hope to see ya all in a few. Looking


    forward to it.

    Yea i think that part of shakespear is cool too...I have


    the whole passage bookmarked in my copy of plays...lol. It is a passage that really gets


    too ya. Especially to those with ex military backgrounds.

    Ahh..i see riddick is familiar with shakespear...lol.


    A


    splash screen at the server sounds good, i think the corrupted 1.54s are coming from when a


    player tries to overwrite 1.55 with the 1.54 mod. Im not sure, but i believe this is what


    corrupts the 1.54 mod they try to use. That is why it it important to totaly delete the mod


    from your mod manager...Re install 1. 53 and then reintall the 1.54 update.


    Hope to


    see you all soon.
