    Hi guys long time no speak. I was surprised to see that things are still here..infact they seem to be ready for a strong come back and thats due to the fact that OP has kept it all goingKudos to you and your team.

    Well, to those who remember me..hi, I flew under the tag of{UAC}Captainscarlet. its good to see you still aroundthose who dont know me well I have been on and off since CF1.2..my last experience was fighting along side Dopple and Saphire ETC in the U.A.C. Had to leave due to RL issues.Thats nearly 2 years ago.


    Couldnt believe my chars were still there when I logged on a few days ago, but hey.there you go..thanks OP.


    I see things are ready for a change when 1.8 is released, change is good.


    Anyway, Just thought Id ask if Im still welcome here and if you guys would like to have an experienced player back on-line for some fun. :tongue:


    I understand that UAC have lost most if not all its members :( However if I can come back, then would like to start anew and I will delete all my current chars(can donate all my credits to anyone if you need them).


    What I would like to know is when 1.8 comes out will there be a char wipe, because if so then ill probably wait till then to log on.
    Also, what do you need more of? police/pirates? Maybe it would be best if I joined a current clan to increase its members to even the odds so to speak.I dont have the time to run a clan of my own or to regenerate UAC.


    So there you go, for now Ill leave it up to you guys/gals.


    Have fun and @OP..Good luck with 1.8. :D

    HI all,..


    sorry to hear this news, but it was inevitable...so it should not come as a surprise to most of you...you were told before xmas that OP had concerns, however most have not bothered to take him seriously....


    I might be wrong here, but I think OP may be born under the sign of VIRGO, iF SO, THEN THIS MAY GIVE YOU AN INSIGHT TO WHY HE IS DOING THIS..


    Virgo is the only zodiacal sign represented by a female.



    They are usually observant, shrewd, critically inclined, judicious, patient, practical supporters of the status quo, and tend toward conservatism in all departments of life. On the surface they are emotionally cold, and sometimes this goes deeper, for their habit of suppressing their natural kindness may in the end cause it to atrophy, with the result that they shrink from committing themselves to friendship, make few relationships, and those they do make they are careful to keep superficial.


    But the outward lack of feeling may, in some individuals born under this sign, conceal too much emotion, to which they are afraid of giving way because they do not trust others, nor do they have confidence in themselves and their judgments.


    This is because they are conscious of certain shortcomings in themselves of worldliness, of practicality, of sophistication and of outgoingness. So they bring the art of self concealment to a high pitch, hiding their apprehensiveness about themselves and their often considerable sympathy with other people under a mantle of matter-of-factness and undemonstrative, quiet reserve.


    They are still waters that run deep. Yet in their unassuming, outwardly cheerful and agreeable fashion, they can be sensible, discreet, well spoken, wise and witty, with a good understanding of other people's problems which they can tackle with a practicality not always evident in their own personal relationships.


    Both sexes have considerable charm and dignity, which make some male Virgoans appear effeminate when they are not. In marriage they can be genuinely affectionate, making good spouses and parents, but their love making is a perfection of technique rather than the expression of desire, and they must be careful not to mate with a partner whose sex drive requires a passion they cannot match.


    They are intellectually enquiring, methodical and logical, studious and teachable. They combine mental ingenuity with the ability to produce a clear analysis of the most complicated problems. They have an excellent eye for detail but they may be so meticulous that they neglect larger issues. Also, although they are realists, they may slow down projects by being too exact.

    They are practical with their hands, good technicians and have genuine inventive talents, Thoroughness, hard work and conscientiousness are their hallmarks, and they are such perfectionists that, if things go wrong, they are easily discouraged.


    Because of their ability to see every angle of a many-sided question, they are unhappy with abstract theorizing. Appreciating the many different points of view as they do, they find philosophical concepts difficult, and they vacillate and have no confidence in any conclusions at which they arrive.


    Their minds are such that they need the stimulus of practical problems to be solved rather than the mere routine or working to set specifications that need no thought.


    They also make good editors, physicists and analytical chemists. They may also find success as welfare workers, ministering to those less fortunate than themselves.



    Both sexes have a deep interest in history, a feature recognized by astrological authorities for at least two hundred years. If they go in for a business career their shrewdness and analytical ingenuity could tempt them into dishonesty, though they usually have enough moral sense to resist temptation.


    Their faults, as is usual with all zodiacal types, are the extremes of their virtues. Fastidious reticence and modesty become old-maidishness and persnicketiness; balanced criticism becomes carping and nagging; and concern for detail becomes overspecialization.


    Virgoans are liable to indecision in wider issues and this can become chronic, turning molehills of minor difficulties into Himalayas of crisis. Their prudence can become guile and their carefulness, turned in on themselves, can produce worriers and hypochondriacs.


    Possible Health Concerns...


    Virgo is said to govern the hands, abdomen, intestines, spleen and central nervous system. Illnesses to which its natives are prone include catarrh, cold, coughs, pleurisies, pneumonia and nervous instabilities. Their natures make them inclined to worry and this makes them vulnerable to stomach and bowel troubles, including colic and ulcers. Male Virgoans may have trouble with their sexual organs. Both sexes are strongly interested in drugs and esoteric cuisine and as their delicate stomachs require them to be careful about their diet, it is essential that they treat their fascination with exotic food with extreme care.

    looool...a classic...

    My Ideal game would be a mix of


    freelancer, x3 reunion and of course starlancer.


    Each has its own unique style of game play and each has its own merrit.


    P.S And it would be muliplayer friendly too.


    I have played the game you suggested OP, found it ok, but I wouldnt go back to it now,
    my pc probably wouldnt let me..lol

    The concept is good,


    but the reality is that on another server I saw this, (Cant remember which one it was),
    You had the long standing members all flying around with uber stuff, and camping to set up other chars.



    The newbies didnt have a chance to get the stuff.
    Also ALL of the other ships, shields, guns etc became obsolite and had no worth.


    There would have to be alot of policing regarding camping.


    On the positive side, clans would be able gather thier forces and fight to win back the uber stuff from each other.


    However, on this other srever, that did cause a war...lol

    Well, on a positive note, after downloading the patch, it now recognises my Radeon 1900x card.


    However, the only graphical anomaly appears in the corridor system...polygon problems..


    As for missiles...you pussy spammers need to learn to use guns only...lol..

    nice one sapph!!.....Happy xmas to ALL at crossfire.....


    And a special thanks to OP for the opportunity for us all to be here...


    MERRY XMAS OP to you and your family...

    Hi People...I just wanted to let you all know that I will have to take a short break form CF over the xmas period..


    My wife and kids have Banned me...They are THE REAL server police...lol...


    I will try to sneak on when I can, but I will be back as soon as the ban is lifted..


    So starting today, through to the new year, i will have to cease fire so to speak...Im gonna try bribary, but dont hold up too much hope.


    See you soon, will keep an eye on the forum.



    To all of you guys AND gals,,,, have a merry xmas and a happy new year...


    Cap...

    Wedge///Gunny....Your BOTH acticting like kids...


    Take this away from the forum PLEASE...You have PM for this stuff ..


    and Wedge..


    I did say to you "Check the forum regarding system owned clans " in an earlier post..


    Gunny,,,Your first post should have been enough..but you rose to the bait m8....you should know better than to react like this on the forum..


    This is NOT what a potentianl new member wants to see..it puts them off joining C.F. before they even get on the server..


    This imature flaming is what put me off staying 3 years ago...
    And if it does not stop i will be going again..
    Jesus,, I have enough arguing from my kids at home..I come here to try to get some adult fun..

    Sorry daniel, but im afraid that exploring is a big part of this mod...


    if everyone told everyone where everything was, we would all get bored very quickly..
    Let me say that it sounds like you are on the right track...keep going mate..


    CAP..

    Hi, this may be a stupid question, but nobody I asked in game seemed to know the answer..


    I have just bought a Train, and I need to know what are the benifits to buying the Cargo Pods?..


    There are differerent ones which leads me to believe you can transfere that named commoditty in it?//I think?


    ie..A cobalt named cargo pod..is that for transfereing Cobalt?


    With no cargo pods I can still carry, 5000 of any cargo I choose..


    With for eg..the cobalt cargopods mounted, I can still only carry 5000 cargo..even of cobalt..



    are they just eye candy for the trader who needs his train to look realistic?



    thanks,


    Cap..
