Yeah,

basically this worked. Docked at the Bretonian prison and leveled up quickly.

But I believe Ajay was right. Those Dragon fighters have pretty small hit boxes. I mean, after destroying 3 Level 9 Dragons (took about 20 minutes in a Stormrider) on a mission in Chugoku all the Rhineland and Liberty Navy enemies in the later missions (Level 11 Valkyries and Defenders) were A LOT easier...

Ok, I'll try that with the Bretonian Police, this might save my play through... Thanks Ajay!

Sooo,

I actually tried again yesterday. It took a while, but I beat the Tekagi mission... (about an hour for those 3 remaining fighters at the shipyard + the 4 before the jump hole)

FYI:

I fly a Barracuda with lvl 6 Graviton Shield and equipped with Pyros Type 2 and 3 weapons

However, right now I am pretty sure I am going to uninstall this, which is a shame, because I really liked this mod so far.

I am with the Blood Dragons now, which means I cannot sell escape pods to the police anymore. Now I have a lvl goal of 1.2 million credits and have to grind it with missions that give me around 50,000 (i.e. about 20-24 missions??? ) seriously???

Ok, I thought, let's give it a try. Took a mission on Ainu depot for GC, which gave me 80,000 credits. Then the same thing again. I had to destroy 9 Level 7 Police Drakes, which, again took me around 80-90 minutes, because it is almost impossible to hit them.

So, no, I probably do not have the time or the nerve to continue with this.

Oh and please do not get me wrong; I do not think the game is difficult (My ship takes hardly any damage, either. I haven't used a shield battery for I don't know how long) It is just tedious to grind so many missions with ships, that are really hard to hit and have shield recharge rates through the roof...

Hi everyone,

I know, this has been discussed before, but so far I thought everyone was just exaggerating.

So far I have had a great experience playing the Crossfire mod with Freelancer. As I am mostly playing Single Player campaign, I have no multiplayer experience whatsoever and I will not change that. I have no interest in multiplayer apart from the LAN server I have with my buddies here. So please don't answer something like "Just go to multiplayer and it will be better"

But here is my question:

I have now played through the SP campaign up to the mission with Tekagi's transport. Until now everything was pretty good. The graphics are great, the new ships and stuff look cool and in fact I like it that the missions are more challenging now. Well, at least until this one. Destroying the weapons platforms was easy and the first Navy fighters were easy to kill as well. But the last three of them, I don't know how the AI was changed or how they are scripted, but they were basically indestructible. There is just ridiculous. It took me about 45 minutes to just destroy one of them. On the other two, no matter how I hit them they did not take ANY damage. So after about 90 minutes on this single mission I finally gave up.

Me and my friends are casual players and we are not into the ultra-hardcore gaming scene. None of us has neither the time nor the nerves to play a game like that.

Is there any way at all, to change that game AI back to the standard Freelancer or maybe even to how it was before that mission...???

Thanks in advance!
