Ok... To see if FL is accepted by the firewall, go to:

Start -> Control Panel and double click on "Windows Firewall"

To make changes you need to be admin btw...

Go to the tab "Exceptions" and make sure you see "freelancer.exe" in there, or something like that.

If its not, click "Add program", browse to where FL is installed and double click the Freelancer executable. It should then appear in the window...

Done!

Otherwise, wait for someone else to reply.

Uh Chief, do you mean that the shipyards are now dockable? And what do you mean they won't let you off the ship??

I haven't tried recently, but I have a Train and never managed to dock at shipyards other than Crossfire Dock 1 and 2 because they have mooring fixtures...

Since when does it do that? Did you install anything recently? An update perhaps?

Give us some details

Or maybe you just have to tell the Windows Firewall to accept exceptions from FL... That is, if you haven't done that already.

There is a tradelane already I think... But I wonder, why is there a tradelane to the nearby planets if we can't land on them? Is it just to go look and admire the texturing work? I'm sure its awesome, but why bother setting up tradelanes if there is nothing to see on the other side?

That shouldn't happen... I landed there many times before with no problems. I also have a Shroud. But I play MP, not SP... So I can't be of much help if this is a bug which applies to SP only...

Oh well... I don't know SL... I only know its supposed to be the prequel to FL...

Anyways, if you say that some stations will be dockable in 1.6, then I can't wait!

Ok thanks Dragoness

Btw, just a quick question: If the Coalition cannot manage to build tradelanes, why then are there all these jumpgates to move in Altair? And how can they have these uber powerful Ion Cannons??? What you are telling me now just doesn't seem logical...

OP, wouldn't there be a problem of looting if people started creating multiple characters just to loot the same stuff?

My 2 cents.

I found this cute one:

Otherwise, there is this one:

I know about the cannons, I was just curious to see if they worked... I wasn't suprised I got blown to smithereens.

Anyways, how do you get to Altair? Is it through Gurm? Or that other JG to ??? which I forgot the name, it also starts with a "G"

Yeah, and if JHs are too hard to code, just tradelanes. At least that'll cut down on the long runs for, well, basically nothing...

Anyways... I guess for now I'll keep exploring the other systems.

Hi,

I've recently started exploring again, and discovered a JG in Styx to Mandar, and from there 2 other JG... I went to Gurm.

Now, when I arrived there, I saw these MASSIVE weapons platform (got killed by one too, later) and some planets (very far away).

Now, there is one frustrating thing tho: the trip from Sol to Styx is way boring, and when you finally get to Gurm, there is nowhere to land!!! Or if there is, its probably hostile cuz its Coalition stuff...

Now I got killed by a weapons platform (got too close, and it has some kinda railgun... anyways. My ship went: shields failed, and then boom)...

So, is there anywhere a station which I can land at except in Styx where the base is Admin / SP, so that I can save my game and not have to do the trip Earth - > Dimensional Rift over and over?

Ich habe ein map, der Darkstalker mich gegeben hat. Ich kann es dir per email schicken. Ich war auch einmal in Hiruga und konnte nicht mehr raus.

Checkt dein email, es kommt gleich

Hmm... kannst du mir dein email schicken, ich kann kein dokument auf ein PM anfassen.

Good idea on the CM for Trains. and maybe a class 10 FR shield slot too?

Oh... I didn't think about the Weight Reduction upgrades... And who fights with a full cargo hold anyways??? Its too risky, because if you die you will lose your items.

Ok yet another suggestion:

A mooring fixture on Planet Earth. It just doesn't make sense to buy a huge ship and then not being able to land there. I have a normal Train (not the Soulforge), and now I have to buy a small ship to be able to land there to buy the Soulforge. I mean, c'mon that doesn't make sense. [2]

Try docking somewhere else. I had no problem mounting my Champion Shield on my Shroud...

Ok, its been a few days, and I'm hesitant to get a Shroud, cuz there are no R_39 members online... What happened guys? Are you guys so occupied that you cannot come online?

Anyways, hearing that you will be KOS if you are seen with a Shroud bought without permission, and that you haven't been online for the past few days, I'll make a public announcement for permission.

Tonight, or tomorrow, can I go to Tarsus to buy a Shroud. If yes can you please tell me where to buy it in Tarsus (i've never been there). Otherwise, if no, well then come back online soon...

Hmm... ok.

Another suggestion then: ship maneuverability should be affected by how much cargo they are holding. For example, lets say a Predator has a maneuverability of 10 and a Train a maneuverability of 4, both when empty.

Now, when the Predator is "full" (100 units of cargo are occupied), the maneuverability should drop to 7. On the Train's side, when "full" (2500 units / 5000 units are occupied), the maneuverability drops dramatically (to 2/1).

I have more suggestions:

Trains and Battleships all can spin easily, as Neorok said, but one thing that annoys me most is when I jettison cargo. For some reason the release point in somewhere in the middle of the ship, which makes it spin like crazy if I jettison something.

So whilst increasing the ship mass for Battleships and Trains, could you change the jettison "door" on trains?

Also, when I scan other freighters (the Transports, not the larger Trains), they have an incredible amount of cargo hold (roughly 80,000!). Even the Armored transport has that much. So I suggest, rather than making the Cargo Pods simple aesthetics upgrades, to make them into cargo upgrades. For example, when you buy the worse cargo pod, you get 100 extra cargo. Whilst if you buy the best, you get 1000 cargo more.

I know it sounds a bit complicated... I just hope it can be done.

Can someone post the minutes of the meeting here. I won't be able to attend it.

Thanks!
