  • Location of SP saved games

    Recently the Crossfire server has been unavailable a few times and I've bagan the singleplayer campain which is like revisiting an old friend :)
    I just wondered where the save game files go as I want to include them in backup and I can see that they no longer appear in the Documents\My Games\Freelancer folder.


    Thanks in advance

  • Can I recover an old Crossfire profile?

    Thanks for the input.
    I actually look forward to revisit all the old haunts in order to improve eq.
    If equipment has changed so much I will be eager to find out what replaced the coalition gatling 8)


    Back then there used to be a Crossfire database where Crossfire specific items specs were available.
    I have searched the current portal without finding it - has it been abandoned and information left to exploration?

  • Can I recover an old Crossfire profile?

    I have been away from Crossfire for about 4-5 years and finally found a little extra time that allowed me to return to this marvelous universe.


    The version I last played was 1.7a and I have preserved all my FreeLancer IDs using FL Account Manager.
    However when I login using an ID that was previously known to Crossfire I have no ressources.
    Is a ver. 1.9 profile incompatiple with ver. 1.7a or have my ressources been removed due to inactivity?


    Well, I had some great ships back then, but I will take the effort to build a new ship if the old ones are unavailable.

  • Beginners Info thread

    How about creating a sticky thread for beginners?


    Being one myself I fell that I could add valuable information to newcomers. As per my experience it takes a while before you can update yourself using forums etc.


    If this would be welcome I can start it off.

  • Concept: Mutiple server mod

    Hosting in Germany is quite fine with me :) (located in a neighboring country)


    The problem here is with inter networking between continents. As far as I remember I had a ping at app. 400 ms to the AFL server while I usually have a retransmission with the SWAT server in less than 50 ms.
    Lag is not a question of ping time as far as I understand. We all know that certain systems or certain opponents have high/low lag. It must be a question of server resources.


    If multiple servers is the answer to less lag I will support the idea.
    I even have a server with nothing to do ...

  • Concept: Mutiple server mod

    Well basically, I find it a good idea.


    Ideally we should some sort of p2p way of transmitting data - like skype or other p2p clients. This way we could remove the processing from one, vulnerable central server to all participants of the game.
    Maybe it's just fantasizing but this model would yield a platform with no restrictions.



    Just my 2cents

  • Number of mountpoints for torp/cd

    By browsing the forum I've become aware that the number of mountpoints able to carry torps/cds are a real important property of a ship.


    I have been able to find bits and pieces of info regarding this in the forum but not all ships are described in this detail.


    Anybody out there with this information? I will greatly appreciate as I'm sure others will.


    For a newcomer in the CF universe this information would be great as you often have to go through lengthy procedures in order to gain access to clan owned systems.
    Honor can prevent a pilot from invading clan owned systems and just run away with a ship. :]

  • How to address clans

    Just checked, and can confirm that you are right.


    Only problem is that flickery text is not noticed by people suffering from banner blindness :rolleyes:
    If you use the net a lot you tend to develop "banner blindness" and what I asked for was a welcoming place for new users - this place should also be available in the forums I believe.
    It is my conception that new users would feel more welcome if these basic infos were easy available to all newcomers.

  • How to address clans

    This post is partially an apology to the H5N1 clan.


    Recently I entered Enyo system without knowing that it was a system owned by H5N1. Beforehand I had checked the page at http://www.crossfire.swat-portal.de/clansystems.htm
    which is *very* out of date. I thought I had done my homework but found out that I was stepping on peoples toes - big time.


    I have been browsing the forums for a few weeks and had received bunches of relevant answers when i asked a question. How great - a forum that lives and cares.


    On the other hand I have also noticed some sadness regarding entry of new players - especially rp kinds of new players. My simple antidote to this problem must be the following: Make an updated space for new players to visit. This site should host all the basic information that any new player would want to know.


    I had to spent some time searching the forum until I found an updated map of clan systems (by Gust) which has proved helpfull and it certainly shows that Enyo is owned by H5N1.


    H5n1: As you can probably figure I really, really would like access Enyo. Can I be granted access?


    @The rest of you: Thanks for a fine bunch of pilots!


    And finally my question: When I want to address a clan what should I do? Does a given clan have a center of information (forum space) or does a clan have a spokes person?

  • Noob question: How To change your Dom'Kavash reputation?

    Well, I've finally found my way to Omicron Alpha.
    I thought I would try to pick up some Nomad guns, but I find myself attacked by Dom'Kavash Gun Boats - whom are making fine slices of the custom paint job I just had installed and enjoyed. Got it from a rather dubious Outcast character - but now it's gone.


    I almost got killed out there (just transferring another payment to my life insurance)!


    Well, the point is that I never got around to meet any Nomads - I kinda had to tug my tails between my legs and try to make a run for it.
    I made it back to Planet Malta but in a very bad shape.



    Anybody in here interested in helping out?
