    Blur you are stateside, your ping is going to be way higher than mine for instance. lots of players are incorrectly assuming that the difference in thier pc response times is actually player cheats or bugged ships.
    SC is right....all ships are bugged to an extent, but we live with it.
    nothing adverse has ever been reported about your ship m8. next time someone says"your ship is bugged" - respond with "so is yours"!! :D

  • Freedom X-Interceptor

    lmao, i remember your fighting style m8, trust me i think the ship is bugged!! :D:D:D:D


    seriously tho m8, as server load increases ive noticed the ordnance getting less accurate. ive never noticed a problem with that ship in the past, or your fighting style;)

    how about clan fighters? alot of work i understand but it may prove to have some real diverse requests as to specs.
    like i said id love the ship in newpols sig :P rated as a light fighter with around 8k armour, 2 lvl 10 mounts, 2 lvl 9/8 mounts, 2*cd, cm, lvl10 shield and real high manouvreability.


    would be nice to see different types of upgrades to shield, armour, regen, power gen etc...it may improve battles and rp by varrying the different specs of the individuals fighters. different ship strengths and weaknesses causing different weps loadouts on different ships, making the pvp far more interesting.


    can we have some different specced cap ships? with higher refire, lower output weps?


    how about miner ships that can stay active in a field when the player logs off?!!! earn while you sleep :D:P


    more varied weps...atm most ppl use ppc, gatts or dka's. how about various refire weps..after all some prefer 8.33's to 3.03's

  • LR meeting

    after being present at the meeting and reading the posts here i decided to look at a few other forums and post my opnions. anyone wanting the link to the thread on the forum where i posted this pm me.


    ill offer my take on the irc meeting on tlr, and on a few other points written here. i apologise in advance if i offend anyone with my views, those that know me well enough will know i mean no offence.


    the "meeting" on tlr was imo just a PR stunt by LR admins to "rally the troops" as it were into conforming to thier way of thinking. its about control.
    LR want each and every server to abandon thier own forums, communities and servers and to move them all to LR, after all the hard work that those server Admins have put in. and LR to act as the home of FL and a central hub for all FL's activities. this includes access to all the servers source codes, the servers forums, clan forums. a reason for this is because they arent taking up the opportunity to continue on the global server, they want thier own global server. why?
    because that way only the servers that agree to conforming to LR's rules and regulations will be listed on THIER global server. those that refuse to comply will be ommitted^^
    that sound fair and democratic to you? sound like a promising future for FL? sound like an acceptable future for your server?
    if you answer no to at least one of the above then under LR admins decisions you probably wouldnt be on thier global listing.
    heres another, maybe minor, point.....Banned players:
    banned players from any server will recieve a global banning from the online multiplayer servers that are/will be listed on LR's global listing. hmm...how very democratic. that's oppression in my book^^
    we all know that tension exists between certain servers, certain clans and probably quite a few players. we all have out own little corner within the FL universe. now throw all those elements into one centralised community^^ Flame wars would be out of control and endless..let alone breaches into each others servers. we have our seperate communities because thats the way we have devoleped and evolved. and to be honest it suits most of us that way. in the bigger picture we all know we can put our differences aside and act as an intergrated community...when we have to, but realistically its not something that can be 24/7.


    now ill offer an unbiased point of view to the comments on OP. i was at the entire meeting and i didnt witness anyone apart from Louva Dues throwing insults. OP just offered his own opinion as to LR admins decisions, and only after did admins of the other, larger server mods actually stop to think. and say..hang on a mo ... hes got a point. all this hard work that community admins/modders have put in to building thier own sites/mods, i.e north quardrant, crossfire, rogue universe, olympus...etc..etc.., will be lost, as it would all have to fall under LR admin control. at no point did he say he wouldnt support LR/FL, but he is in no way going to hand over all of his own hard work. as the admins and modders here in NQ would never do. anyway this isnt about NQ, SWAT, VOID or any other servers opnions on each other, this is about your choices, the ones that YOU, as freelancers must make.


    LR is not FL, FL is not LR, FL is all of YOU. you ppl have the power to decide FL's fate...no one else. if it wasnt for all of YOU FL would have died along time ago.


    its down to the modders, the Admins and the players to keep the game alive....not some jumped up LR admin on a power trip coz he thinks he knows best. democracy in LR has been dead for a long time. that irc meeting was the proof.


    i play multiple servers, time permitting^^, and as such meet many different ppl who all love this game. i for one have played FL, no other game, since its release(sad i know:P). so time to put differences aside and have your say on the future of FL, your server and your community.


    best wishes to all, see you in space.

    Posts: 69 lol Chill thats a nasty idea i like it


    My point about contacting MS was mainly for the Global Server (now that its mentioned i guess its safe to talk about lol)... Just so they know there are still ppl out there that care. Would it work? Who knows prolly not but i cant see how it would hurt


    i do not believe those suggestions mentioned in the above were meant as a "take 'em or leave its"; but were put forth as starting proposals for ways to counter the obviously negative factors that will come from the loss of GS. Nothing like this that involves so many large egos will go smoothly, that i can promise

    Posts: 6 starting proposals maybe, but where will they lead?^^


    if this is LR's base point for rebuilding the site, thier initial ideas, what extent will they grow to?


    there have been ideas and suggestions, and work, done by admins to get round the global server list problem. a solution ? maybe....


    but ultimately its about control...


    agreed on the large ego point;) but egos aside, modders/admins co-operating for a better future is a far better proposal than to be restricted and confined by moving the entire fl community within LR itself.
    initial proposals they may have been, but i didnt hear anything to the contrary until certain ppl disagreed....then were muted.....or didnt LR staff tell you that?^^


    control doesnt walk hand in hand with democracy and opinion



    this was the last post on this thread. it suggests to me that my statements may have hit a nerve...i hope so.

  • LR meeting

    why dont you and your friends join here too? you'll get all the support you'll need from the various ppl here. im sure OP can point you in the right direction regarding your own server too.
    welcome to SWAT

  • LR meeting

    in all honest m8 it was an exercise in futility^^


    tlr "want to control" the entire fl/modding community under one central hub all acting and communicating through one site.....totally unnacceptable and impracticle imo. each server/mod is different, mod admins have different goals and ideas. under those circumstances it wont work, all mods/communities will require thier own servers, forums etc..


    i kind of switched off after LD launched his personal attacks on OP...being very frustrated that i couldnt spam the irc channel with my opinions of the jumped up power freak^^


    the only thing i can conclude from the meeting is that LD wants to control the entire FL community through Lancers Reactor, and hes trying to pressurise admins into that way of thinking.


    OP's opinions ring true with most of the other admins of the bigger mods/communities, LD didnt like that^^.


    i do hope LR flourishes in the future, but in all honesty if it fails then it fails. atleast SWAT wont fail...we will all see to that.


    hmmm....whats the chances of this post being copied onto lr's new forum, when its up and running?^^
    not that im bothered:P
