  • Just in case...

    GR are not always on their GR character while online...
    So they might be online, but a newcomer would not know.


    It may be usefull to have somewhere on the forum a clear list of them with their alternate character's names?
    Not like a 10 pages thread to see who is GR... ok, it is exagerated, but you see what I mean


    Would need to be updated regularly though I guess... Just a thought anyway...

  • Operation Hephaestus

    This would be a good opportunity to try to gather SA Omega Wing :)


    Although I am not sure to be able to attend myself yet in regards of the date
    (might have an early birthday party)

  • Far Point system infocard bugged

    I know you could probably enjoy some rest time specially those days,
    and I can assure it is not with joy I try to feedback possible "minor bugs" (in this case)... :girl_to_take_umbrage2:
    It is only with the intention to see the mod as perfect as possible!
    Thank you again OP

  • Ship specialization ?

    I am bringing up this subject because I have had problems trying to
    build up a ship for a specific fighting role in a group, and wondered if
    this may not be an idea enough interesting to develop...


    For example, I have tried to make a pure bomber ship (for a clan project)...
    Of course, there are already perfectly suited existing ships (like the "Hades" for example),
    however after trying out different settings I came up somehow disapointed
    with my results (like too many limitations on torpedo choice or load) and I
    ended up switching for a "regular" VHF with some alternate weapon settings,
    which would end up as good - or even better (sadly)...
    Now I know balancing that kind of ship might be "hell", and in the end just
    may be useless...
    I imagine going for a gunboat approach would be similar - with nothing a VHF
    would not already be able to do...


    However, I cannot help imagine developed bomber, gunboat, (repair ship?) - or anything not
    commonly used currently     - to develop variety of new group combat formations/technics,
    and enhance diversity.


    I absolutely have no clue on either if it might be interesting (or if it already exists and I have
    completely missed it), either I am absolutely out of subject (please forgive me if so)...


    In any case, I had to write down my (2 cents) feelings on what could be developed in the future...
    Might bring up suggestions from someone else hopefully, if this one does add anything new :girl_sigh:

  • Your turn

    Quote

    being realistic and active during the past 3 years I can say we have 10-20 players caps and that only changes if a new mod is released and lasts about 2-3 weeks then it's all back to the standard low population


    ...


    If it is action you're looking for, then don't add 15 new system to disperse players throughout space with every mod version, better redo what you had before, and enrich vanilla/1.7 bases/planets/ships database - with 15 ppl playing and the space as vast as it is now in 1.8 every player can trade in different system and never meet each other in space

    The way I see it, it means we have those 2-3 weeks then to take advantage of the new release to get "curious" visitors "addicted"...
    This leads to different threads about clan activities, RPing... There are more chances someone joining a clan will remain active for
    a while on CF than a freelancer... That would be my guess anyway...


    As for CF being too big... I think (correct me if wrong) Swat_OP would rather see all those systems filled than reducing its size to fit current number!


    So... we do have big work to do...

  • CF widescreen

    I was wondering if widescreen support had been implemented with the CF1.82 release, or if it had been put aside for any reason (I must admit I did not really understand all
    the previous technical replies)?


    I have checked the graphic options menu and highest resolution I get is 1280x960? Unless I have done something wrong, it is the same
    for me as before... so I wondered about any "official" statement...


    If not no biggy... as I have the "manual" settings found on these boards :girl_wink:

  • Crossfire 1.82 released

    Reporting no problem with install, server stable and smooth - A very nice job done to me!


    Thank you once again Swat_OP for the hard work and years of commitment into this community



    Note: I have noticed shields do not go down anymore when jetisoning cargo?
    Since I have not seen (or maybe missed?) a change reguarding this - I thought I'd mention it.... To make sure this is intentional?


    P-S: I love the new colors!!

  • Clan Recruiting Discussion...

    Quote from Huor


    Finally - and this would need to be discussed in the leaders board - PX and SA could provide some tips how they are doing - what can be done to keep new players interested and getting them integrated into the clans.

    Why not ask directly the players in what keeps them active in clans? Leaders might not directly know the possible answers as they may be varied...
    (start internal clan polls maybe?)
    Just a possible idea anyway (might not be that much helpfull if Leaders do already know ;) )

  • current server crashes

    I hardly believe the main problem is about people not restarting FL.



    Since I have started playing MP I have often seen people not restarting FL after a crash.
    Yes, sometimes it made server crash again, but this is nothing new.
    Those days it seems to be something else by seeing the frequency of the crashes.


    Just adding I have been experiencing higher ping lately, even when no server crash.

  • Single Player issue

    Last time I activated CF in FLMM, i chose Open SP option, but I ended up with the story campaign.
    Tried to go through it, but got stuck early in game when meeting Juni in California Minor.
    The mission lead me to California Minor alright, I had the blabla in the bar and accepted mission,
    although nothing happened when launching to space... No Juni, and no way to dock anywhere
    (even trade lines) - Mission log was saying "Awaiting for mission objectives".
    Tried to reload a previous save but it did it again. I had a CF ship the first time so I thought
    it might provoq the conflict, but remaining with a Defender did not change anything.


    I am guessing my CF activation got messed up but I am having no problem in MP, so no big deal :girl_smile:
    (I had done campaign on CF1.7 with no problem)

  • Possible Award system

    It seems interesting, as for most awards SWAT_OP must have access to all data necessary to check for met requirements...
    Although, it might be a time consuming job to keep up to date with all registered people???
    Unless it will be updated on people request only?


    As for Event related awards, it means the event managers will need to store all results?


    It seems a good way to me to get people interested in participating into the community living (very diversified categories, for different personal interests)
    Just need to see if it is not too "heavy" to handle all the data from everyone.

  • Running Crossfire on higher resolutions

    Since I have resized HUD to fit 1440 x 900 (note: provided settings work great!),
    I am experiencing problem each time I first log...
    It seems HUD goes back to default when entering the game (can't see top bars)...
    It is solved by launching to space (data loading) then everything is fine - until i need to relog.


    However I get stuck if I log in a station bar (can't access launching button) and need to swich resolution,
    then redo the resolution config.
    Note: fonts remain OK, just camera/resolution are not loaded.


    Any clues why it does this when logging on?
