There are reasons why is officially forbidden modify game files and problem with Titan (if it modification behaves the same) is that with losing its hull parts are lost also weapons attached to them, which may really be a problem. But back to Venn passing ... you will have much better services from less armored and more maneuverable ship with small front hitbox (profile) ... both above mentioed ships meet those criteria. I spent playing CF many years and Titan is very likely the last ship which I would want fly there ... Fighting NPCs there is something what I personally do not recommend unless you are good pilot and know what you are doing. That region of Crossfire mod is purposely created as very hostile and with deadly threats, afterall this is region where are outside beings invading "our" galaxy.

What ship do you have and how is equipped? It of course is possible to pass through Venn untouched, but at that story stage is expected that players use fairly good ship with good (the best) equipment. Also helps to learn how to fly evasively, mix of corkscrew and strafying at once helps avoid most of gun's fire. Crossfire wiki have serie of good combat training videos which may give you few quite usefull tips. (and you can also use in SP difficulty slider which will make hits doing much less damage, I think easiest makes your ship invincible ... only be crefull, there is at least one part of stroyline where is expected that your ship get some damage).

For multiplayer there is another trick where use of engine kill stops NPCs from use of cruise disruptors, in SP helps using corkscrew flying with use of countermeasures. If you want to make flying in Inner Core easier, I suggest look for either Iguana or Chimera ships. There of course are many other which are good enough, but there is also few which I would not recommend for that most dangerous region in this mod (unless you know what to expect or simply are really good pilot).

What the Russian liars forget is that it is without any doubt possible to figure out when a person was killed based on the state of the body and then figure out which troops were active in that region. Russia can not hide the truth.

They will not care, no matter what will be said or what proofs will be ... they will lie and lie even more again and again ... and most of Russia people will believe all of it while think that it all is nothing else as provocation from the West. Brainwashing propaganda is ongoing for decades. Sadly there imo do not exist anything else as force which can dealt with something like this. They will not stop unless found that opposite side can hit them even stronger. At this moment I really do not know how is even possible to negotiate with RF or believe in something what they will say.

This war is not about fighting Nazis, this war is about bring pure terror on the entire population of a country.

A sheer disrespect to the lives of the people... even to the lives of their own soldiers.

RF soldiers behaves like nazis ... and in this case I believe that videos which we have can't keep up with reality, which is even much much worse.

I agree with this request, my problem is being 82 and slow reflex. Those who have comments about us old guys , I say, Just stick around, someday you will understand.

Now back to my problem, I can't beat Hovis, no problem several years ago. Any suggestion will be appreciated. i want to go further into game but "thanks to Hovis and slow reflexes, I'm stuck...

... watch how I use engines. There is one moment when you can pause cruise with pressing reverse thrust key (cruise stops and immediatelly start when is reverse key released). This race is not about reflexes, it is about knowledge how to fly your ship properly in Crossfire mod. You can also use strafying (up, down, left right) which can significantly improve maneuverability of your ship (applies to freighters too).

Greetings!

or something with 6 cores instead?

I have the weakest intel 6 core CPU, but still I was able play Elite Dangerous Odyssey with decent fps most of time when other with better graphic were complaining (PC was build in Feb 2018 and I can play all on ultra in FullHD including Cyberpunk 2077). So I know what I would look at if want now build new rig . Personally I would take new generation i5 cpu or thought about i7. Looking at prices i5 are not too costly. Keep in mind that graphic card is just one single component which you can change in the future easily anytime IF you will have good enough "core" PC parts. Giving powerful graphic into weak PC is something like putting latest "ferrari" engine into prehistorical car.

https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/0km12n/3840x2160/1/general-tasks/ .... you can try play with configurations to get some basic estimate what to expect.

I think CPU in your build is weak spot for use higher GPU. UserBenchmark: Intel Core i5-7400 vs i5-8400 ... I have i5 8400 and its not good enough to fully use 1070Ti graphic (it goes close to max, but not 100%). 2080 ti is way more powerfull, but I would expect it will need also good CPU to get that data.

Best wishes guys!

Personally I think that if situation in Europe will continue only wrong way, it will be good. There clearly cannot be expected any good outcomes. Russian government repeatebly lied, lies and is obvious that they will continue doing so without any limits. I also think that there is only one thing which is Putin able respect and this is show of strength and existence of strong will to use this strength. At this moment I'm really not sure whether to think that he is either totally insane or if he is right now succesfully achieving what he planned. And I'm not talking about Ukraine, where his plans may go completelly different way as he expected. I'm talking about total blockade of his country from any western influence and removing all starting grounds for creation of any local meaningfull oposition which may build a threat to him. Yes, they will have now many troubles, but Russia is huge country with all resourcess, they can be fully self-sufficient after some time. Imo doesn't matter how back they will be behind other world if they will have operational nuclear weapons. Europe will need build a very strong "maul" and be ready to use it anytime if we will want live peacefully in any foreseeable future.

In case you want to have all open and no limitations where you want to go, then you need either finish first SP Campaign (means the need to preciselly follow campaign path till end of the last mission!), or use "Open SP" choice in mod launcher/options to end campaign and this will deactivate immediatelly all campaigns scripts. It means that your progress in the campaign will be further permanently closed unless you do not uncheck above mentioned and do not load previous mission save when was campaign still active.

That place is a maze. For me worked well using arrows on the walls to move to locations where I was not before.

There is one more thing which maybe can be added into launcher and is related to dynamic economy: put into launcher short info about what is going on. If there is planned more to be added with DE functionality, it may be usefull/interesting for players. Personally I would not hesistate to add even tips for trades, but this is just something what I think aloud. Also maybe info about galaxy race event time for given day.

Seriously ... take any of VHF you like and have fun with it (or even some of medium or light fighters may serve you very well as there are also some heavy hitters). There are some ships which may be better in some activities as other, but even there fully apply what I wrote above. List of all VHFs (I think most of them with exact locations) is in Crossfire mod wiki here on portal ... not hard to find.

Put Start guide as first in mod info, it have most asked info.

Sol sector can have updated map image which is in wiki now.

Crossfire server rules should lead to portal page, what is in launcher now is outdated.

Team speak ... is this used?

In options for setting Open SP I would add next short info "Campaing will END!" (or something like this)

Starter Guide - SWAT Portal ... updated plus some further info added there.

I've updated little Starter Guide, it is now more informative about this thread content.

Starter Guide - SWAT Portal (link leads direclty to newly added part)

LOL ... that one had somewhat expectable ending ...
