  • Modelers Wanted for SWAT New Project

    Rofl, many ppl seems to like Brazil more than Italy and France :D


    Well, I already have enough models for Amazonia, enough to be released in the first version and to looks acceptable ^^


    @lucy: please PM me to talk more about the Amazonian models, ok?


    @OP: I need to make that battleship sur workable. I'll send the model soon, together with the ms3d work =)

  • Server Wanted

    I have a problem with my mod: FL:EU doesn't have a server. Yeah, this is true. I need a 24/7 server for Freelancer: Expanded Universe. If you live in US or Europe and have a fast computer with a fast internet connection, please post here offering your help ^^


    I can't use my computer for two reasons:
    -It is old (a 2005 computer; AMD Sempron 1.66 Mhz, 256 MB RAM, Video Card ATI Radeon 7000 64 MB, HD Samsung 40 GB);
    -It has a dial-up connection (yeah, this thing still exists). Then I can only connect at the weekends, as this is VERY expensive to use in the workdays, and my mother doesn't wants to buy a faster connection -.-


    My friends in my city/state can't help because:
    -The South American ISPs are slow. The friend with the fastest connection has a computer with a HD of 80 GB, 512 RAM and 1 Megabyte of connection, but he has brothers, and they also use the machine, and also the machine isn't on 24/7...
    -The friend with the fastest computer has a notebook HP Pavillion DV6000z, search in Google to see the machine specs. He has a 600 Kbps connection and also he doesn't use the machine 24/7.
    -The other ppl doesn't wants to help -.-


    That's it. If you want help, please post here.


    See ya

  • Mod Features

    Ok, everyone should be wondering about the mod features. I'll list here the planned features, which can be modified with the time.


    -Open SP and MP playable
    -A new major house, called Amazonia, in the Edge Nebula (later two new houses, one Italian and another French will be included)
    -5 new house systems, which "owner" is the Amazonia house. The systems are:
    -New Sao Paulo (capital system)
    -Rio de Janeiro
    -Parana
    -Amazonas
    -Bahia
    -3 new borderworld systems:
    -Omega-25
    -Omega-34
    -Sigma-15
    -1 event system:
    -Hubble
    -13 new buyable (and flyable) ships:
    -AM-FWS9 Amazonia "Wild Cat" Light Fighter
    -AM-FWS15 Amazonia "Cougar" Heavy Fighter
    -AM-FWS20b Amazonia "Jaguar" Very Heavy Fighter
    -AM-FWF1 Amazonia "Donkey" Freighter
    -102-ARKM-R4 "Wraith" Rheinland Very Heavy Fighter
    -B-1034L "Paladin" Bretonia Very Heavy Fighter
    -J17P - 22C "Kompera" Kusari Very Heavy Fighter
    -CYT-402 "Protector" Liberty Very Heavy Fighter
    -Z-5015 "Greyhound" Pirate Very Heavy Fighter
    -CTE 1540AZ Starblazer (light fighter)
    -J10P - D15P "Dragon" Blood Dragon Heavy Fighter
    -R12-C1b "Arrowhead" Robot Heavy Fighter
    -R12-C4f "Spearhead" Robot Very Heavy Fighter
    -MSS-19t "Shrike" Monkey Heavy Fighter
    -MSS-29eR "Demon" Monkey Very Heavy Fighter
    -CTS-14a "Snub" Civilian Light Fighter (scout ship)
    -CTS-19b "Ghost" Civilian Light Fighter (scout ship)
    -2 new server ships (Server Police only and Server Admin/Operator only):
    -AS-1b "Commander" Server Administrator Very Heavy Fighter
    -SP-01 "Warden" Server Police Very Heavy Fighter
    -All houses features VHFs, and even Rogues and Mollys have in their hands VHFs, as wrote above
    -A nice (I don't know if wars are nice, but this one is virtual, no real casualties, then I can say this war is nice) big war between the houses. Liberty and Amazonia battles against Rheinland and Kusari in battles almost everywhere, while Bretonia stands neutral watching everything, with requests from the other houses, fueling Bretonian industries. Also, in the Edge Worlds The Order is hiring more and more people while the Nomads are growing in numbers. What will be the result of this?
    -50 new bases
    -9 new factions:
    -Amazonia Military Forces
    -Amazonia Civil Police
    -CMMA (like Kruger/Daumann/BMM)
    -WRM Technologies (like Ageira)
    -Expedition Shipping (like Republican/Gateway/Universal)
    -First Lead (criminal faction, Outcasts' ally)
    -The Wolves (criminal faction, Corsairs' ally)
    -Monkeys
    -Robots
    -Some vanilla bases received some additions, or were destroyed, or some bugs with objects nearby were fixed, like what happened with the storage depots in Kreuzberg Depot (New Berlin).
    -And 5 new non-buyable ships:
    -Amazonia Battleship
    -Amazonia Destroyer
    -Amazonia Gunboat
    -Liberty Gunboat
    -Nomad Elite Fighter
    -8 brand new clan ships and 8 new clan systems. In each system, there's a base (station or planet) to the clan only. There you can find some fine equipment and an unique clan ship.
    -50 new buyable weapons (25 guns and their turret versions)
    -Nice and big battles *everywhere*. This means that an Anubis can be easily blown by some Liberty Rogues' Bloodhounds, if you're alone.
    -Expanded trading system, keeping the balance
    -Balanced ships and weapons
    -All the major houses are balanced. Liberty is as dangerous as Rheinland, for example.
    -Chugoku system accessible
    -Tohoku system accessible only via Chugoku; Tekagi's Base renamed to Heaven's Gate (according to the system infocard) and is now a Blood Dragon base
    -LOD ranges of all vessels slightly improved
    -New musics
    -Alaska system accessible, Heaven's Gate (old Tekagi's Base, using name according to the system infocard. The base is now of the Blood Dragons), Juneau Shipyard (redone) and Prison Station Mitchell dockable.
    -Omicron Minor (Order system) unlocked, and The Order now offers more powerful weapons
    -Patch 1.1 already included
    -Buck Danny's Freelancer Unofficial Patch 1.4 added
    -Three quests (The quest Lost in the Border Worlds is already finished)
    -Rotating planets and shadow effects
    -New Neural Net (HUD) color (dark blue)
    -Factions are more self-protective. This means now it's 10 times faster to become enemy of a faction. Factions of the same side bother with what happen with their war friends (Kusari and Rheinland corporations are friends, for example.)
    -Paralyzer Missile Launcher, Starblazer, CSV and Protector (Juni's Defender) available for purchase
    -Some constructions finished and others destroyed (eight years passed)
    -You can choose if NPCs will use nanobots and shield batteries
    -You can choose where you will start (in each place you will start with different ships and reputations - read below for more info)
    -Bribes are kept, but they are extremely expensive. This will make you fight for the reputation, a very fun method.

  • Mod Current Status

    The mod will be released when it reaches the v1. However, obviously before the v1 a beta version will be released, as I can't fly everywhere alone to test everything :D


    The current version is the 0.67. The weapon damage and class were all rebalanced, but I still need to modify the energy used by them to balance better the things. Also, other equipment (shields) needs to be rebalanced too.


    All the new bases are already selling commodities, and their prices are balanced. The exceptions are the Prison Station Mitchell, Juneau Shipyard, Ryuku Base, Heaven's Gate, Birigui Station and Planets Toledo and Pygar.


    The new ships are already included, like another Order VHF, the house VHFs, the Amazonian ships, the Pirate VHF, etc.


    I still need to put more battle zones in all Sirius and destroy more things (in this moment, only the storage tanks in Solarius, the Trade Lanes in Stuttgart, Texas and some Independent Worlds and the Konstanz Border Station are destroyed, and I still need to set up new bribes, characters and jobs in the new bases. I hope everything will be ready in the start of April.



    I'll keep everyone informed about the FL:EU development status.

  • Modelers Wanted for SWAT New Project

    I'm creating the new SWAT project, Freelancer: Expanded Universe. The first version will include only one new house, called Amazonia, but the second version will also feature two new houses, Gallia (France) and Praetoria (Italy). Then, I need modelers to design ships to these french and italian houses. If you're good in designing these ships (from fighters to freighters, gunboats, destroyers, cruisers and battleships), please post here.


    See ya

    See ya people :D

  • A Full 7 min video on the Freelancer Storyline!!

    I also have the US edition and I got the short intro.


    Hey OP, the extended intro in the game obviously is in a bigger quality, right? Coz the one in youtube is so... poor:D


    +1 magnet... And believe me... There are still hundreds of ppl who didn't saw the video ^^ The laziness to search for something different... That's it. It's like watch the Lonestar's videos, may ppl already saw it, but there are many who didn't watched these videos.

  • Antivirus prog needed!!

    Yeah I once had something similar with Norton, it was causing many lags and other painful things, then I found the Norton's registry entries and I deleted them, together with the whole app, as deleting only the app won't completely work.


    Then later I started to use Avira's AntiVir. A good, but slow to update antivirus, which is better than AVG and Avast! and faster than them for me.
