mercury is thanhru with his hundreds of other char names using two computers. he is also a PIRATE. a good pilot not player.

i would like to add my 2 cents here too. i,m one of those players as mentioned is on c/f not in peak times. i see a steady flow of new players coming on and old players activating new char names too, and pirates getting new char names too . there old ones are known so they loose the surprise attacks. i,m kept fairly busy with help and advice to them through the game till they get going/stand on there own feet. $$$$ is not given as thats not the purpose of the game.in saying that yes i have given $$ to some who are really struggling and show some keaness in the mod. quiet a few of them are still there today as long term.
i also add that yes at times there has been only me on in game but after a short period of time seen that change to six or more.so my point here is it,s not quiet for long. just for the record too i,m on here daily for atleast 6-10 hours with short breaks and r/l. sometimes more.
it is yet to bore me, there is always something or someone, that keeps my busy.
we only have a few players in our clan too from a small list. but one or two are in game.
also just on discovery which i do see mentioned here at times. i have played it and its not my interest. i prefer crossfire due to its on going up dates its creativity by the team and its friendly from other players.admittedly we have some ratbags but thats the game.
its a game after all, but a bloody good one. r/l always comes first.

simply put :- this matter has been flogged enough and has been blown out of context.
setting the record straight so we get closure on this. at no time has any other player or other clans been mentioned or involved in this misunderstanding at anytime.
the pirate is well aware of proceedings which are on going due to matters between officer tribbs and thanhru recently.
i,m sure that thanhru is fully aware that other members of tsh clan are involved and not all members.
i do state that we have stepped up patrols in certain area,s due to a complaint sent to commisoner forlon which was posted here of crime running rife through the systems.
this is a great mod well thought out and developed, with out need for this to break out on here when it was being dealt with respectfully in game.
lets get on with what this mod was intended for, and that is fun.
hope this matter is closed.

I started a thread somewhere regarding my stream.

Back on topic, if a clan wanted to make money selling equipment, they should turn their RP to smugglers with a gunrunning focus.

that sounds great bait for us to hunt when were not looking for RA players for gun fodder. it is starting to get of the topic of a simple question i asked. reckon the subject has been flogged enough.

Quote from SilverFox

I can only say that IOC doesn't sell anything of those items - Clan members only.
But we do have a problem if players quit the clan - I can't force them to return the items.

ummm two things come to mind in reading this post. if a player wants to leave a clan then all clan stuff should be returned to there clan dealer on base, before they can leave.
then also the clan tag has not been removed so therefore they would be breaking server rules one way or another.
our clan explained all things in being a clan member at the start or joined which part was the return of clan items upon request to leave.
as a clan leader would place a ban on that char so it can,t be used,at leaders disgression. ??????
just a thought.

so then we don,t need clans and go back to the past and buy from weapons peddlars like in the past. it should be for all players then not a select group. and give them a chance to defend themselves from them ??

unless my memory is slipping lately. i was on the understanding that clan ships equipment and weapons were for clan only use. since when are clans allowed to sell them to other players ???
if thats the case then all players should be able to get them and there fore not exclusive to clans only.
i also thought that clans only items was to entice players to join clans.

hey 2016 was a shit year. I can't wait for what shenanigans comes in 2017

the same as this year you can bet on that. things have gone backwards a bit.

Quote from denne

i made the whole campaign with a Starflier and this super beam

your right actually denne & silverfox. there is the adv beam weapon in mod manager list. but it would clash with crossfire mod is reason i have not activated it.
op has final say on things so closed the subject.

hi op, yes exactly like that. like the ones in star trek. my knowledge of the weapons list in c/f there is a number of weapons that are laser based. they are not laser beams.
mesachie man, cerlor emitter is not a laser beam weapon. its fire rate is 3.03 which immediately tell me there is a split second gap before each fire. for it to be actual the fire rate would be 10.0.
appreciate it if you could look in to it more op ( ALSO APPRECIATE YOUR TIME IS VERY BUSY )

just out of curiousity can we have a laser gun invented. have used them on other mods before coming to crossfire many years ago. i think they fired at about 1100 mt at a fire rate of 3.03. just a thought something different maybe.

i have been reading these post with interest and like to add my view. firstly my main effort has been in new york with the key factor of this mod and game. NEW PLAYERS.
there has been a steady flow of them of new players but 3/4 don,t return. why and mentioned in the past to difficult in starting off. continously i,m asked what do we do here to raise sufficent money to advance. one player stunned me in asking. i,m new here how do i join a clan. advice to help them would then be given. not $$$$ so they miss the point of the game.
portal earth quoted that r/p happens here all the time and he is correct. i have seen recently event managers announcing there events are about to start and no one is on or 1-2 players are on but no where near the event system.
also not forgetting the many different time zones comes in to account too. and more importantly there is a wide field of reasons why players play here.
i respect that event managers have a tough time now organizing events now due to less and less players on here now.
also noticing now that the dashboard has e.d notices covering it in big and bold which catches people eyes in advertising it. and very little else.
remember just my view and respect others have different point of view. c/f needs more players before you can run events.

<p>yep it did op and i explained that to vic trader at the time. thanks.</p>

for some reason since 2.00am s/t the commodities have dissappeared from all the systems dealers. when i came on things were acting strange and a player called vic trader called out and asked if i knew why he said they were gone about half an hour before i came on. he thought it was his char so he deleted it and started a new char, but with the same result.

happy birthday m/8 another year gone and many more to come.

good luck m/8. time will go quick. the days are long and so are the nights. . and the pain eventually go,s away.

ah bases are back.

below is two screenshots i was watching for a short time, that reminded me of watching an old western movie on tv. where the indians surrounded a wagon train and attacking them.
so was it in the screenshots with bt in arena and 6-7 players sitting in x3043. revenge or a witch hunt or vultures on a dead carcass, for me a smile and memories. 12.00 s/t
draw your own conclusion

i think the subject has been flogged enough, a matter raised and good advice given. but it,s time to move on. the mod has many choices you can make to play. the idea is to explore the many systems and bases, gaining experience and bettering your char as you go. weapons/ships and equipment.but if you decide to jump in the fire without understanding how it all works ofc your going to have an unhappy outcome. REMEMBER IT,S ONLY A GAME. AND A BLOODY GOOD MOD IS CROSSFIRE. many of the players are always happy to help, just ask and more important, listen.

the server seems to moody lately can have good play and bad play just depends on who is on and server mood.
have attached a screen shot of sudden spike in ping. both gearhead and myself had to get off play just got to bad or eratic for a better word for it.
seems to strike on a daily basis with no warning of time.
