    1. ROFL!
    2. Yeah! A new page again for the 3rd time!
    3. I have a confession to make. Yesterday I was exploring Styx when those damn nomads blow up my shield and were close to destroying my hull. In desperation I tried to dock with that super admin outpost surrounded by that uber shield.
    And now i'm kicking DK @$$ with my brand new railgun! YAHOO! But isn't that station used to be dockable only by admins and serverpolice? Must be a bug. Man, I'm so lucky!

  • Hopeful, but confused.

    are u sure that you have the full version of freelancer and NOT the demo? Then cf wouldn't work right and multiplayer button would be grey, because mp is disabled in the demo

    No way! Besides - how will u control that everyone obeys?
    Imagine - "Permission asking forums" full of threads like "Can BG give of the permission to buy a ship." And who cares about what u buy in single player?

    gr8 idea!

  • Customisation + another thing

    ok, I agree about enngines. I think the lights could be done the same way as engines, only with light HPs and lights.

    I answer with my previous post

  • Problem running Crossfire MOD under Windows Vista

    I've got CF running in Vista in SP w/out probs in SP but not in MP:
    1. I launch freelancer from a desktop shortcut
    2. See the launcer, launcher updates, multiplayer active
    3. Press "launch multiplayer"
    4. FL runs
    5a. Press SP -> Everything OK
    5b. Press MP -> ESRB Content thing = Accept -> Internet -> Global serv. OK, internet games OK -> Set Filters -> Hide incompatible -> 24/7 SWAT CF Server -> [3] Unable to connect. [3][1][3]

    if it was "officially" supported there just wouldn't be need for players to self-manipulate anything.

    And very many mods have changeable engines. I mean - c'mon - there's even an "engine workshop mod" for engine buying avaible for downloading @ LR


    thanx for replys

  • Suggestion for a system (also a quote from SWAT_OP-R8R)

    So it's like this:


    I wass digging trough old threads, hoping to find something interesting (no, not the coordinates for Hyperspace, Lost Paradise or Utopia) and I found this:


    HERE


    SWAT_OP-R8R there said

    Quote

    the hypergate in the story line did lead to the inner core of the galaxy (where the dks went)


    and I imangined this: a VERY, VERY wicked, strange, akward, wierd system with a lot of cool visual stuff and flashes and fields which change the stats of ships/weapons, lots of nebulae, shaking (like in Sol, but amplified), LOTS of visual effects. In short - a strange and akward system. Maybe SWAT_OP-R8R could make something like this (the inner core of the galaxy).
    And maybe this could be combined with the "SURPRISE!" idea (HERE). If some of this is possible, please make it real!


    And one q for you, SWAT_OP-R8R: How did you limit ships' speed in hyperspace?

  • Customisation + another thing

    PART1 - Customisation


    It fould be gr8 if we (players) were given the option to customise our ships visually even a little.


    This is what I would like to see:
    1. Buyable engines
    and/or
    2. Buyable lights
    Both, of course, can be changed via Ioncross, but still... And how about MP players??


    And here's an idea (hard to do though) for next level customisation - bodykits. Here's my idea on how it could be done.
    1. New hardpoints - like front, side, back. Or just one HP - bodykit
    2. Create a very thin outer shell for every ship, which can be in various colours, shapes.


    Then player could simply buy a bodykit (e.g. Seething Fury - (front/back/side/total) / (black/white/pink/whatever) bodykit) and mount it on it's HP


    I (and I think that others too) REALLY hope that buyable engines and/or lights will be implemented in CF 1.8. If not, I just hope that they will be in later versions


    PART2 - The other thing
    Does the Holoprojector [Yamato] really work? Does it reaïly do the "project a battleship around your ship or something" thing? Coz when I mount it in SP, I only see a big, ugly box.
