Whats this quest you guys keep talking about? Can it be played in SP too or is there a certain script in the MP server that runs it?

But yeah, I agree with NucNuc on the CF being the best mod to play SP in. I've previously tried CF 1.7 in SP and it was fun until it crashed and broke for some reason, cant remember why any more.
After a long break when CF 1.81 came out with its amazing 1.4Gb size, I figured this has got to be something epic and better. For now I'm having fun playing the storyline campaign with the new features CF provides and its great, except for the AI.

The reason I like the sloppier and easier vanilla FL AI because its not frustrating as the new advanced one in CF 1.81. You see, I'm a casual player and I don't really find the combat so fun in FL. When playing against even simple enemies like the rogues in the first mission when you escort the train to pittsburg feels like this is taking hopelessly long before you can kill even one of them because it takes a tremendous amount of focusing to hit him even just a bit with your puny guns. Then when it uses shields and nanobots it gets even more frustrating to take him down. And thats not to mention when it keeps re-activating his shield by itself each time he turns around.

I might sound a bit whiny there, but I personally just enjoyed the old AI much more because it was not as frustrating as this one in CF 1.81.

I see, because while playing online with another mod in an MP server, I got raided twice by super pirates and then blown to bits along with my cargo even I did what they said. After that, I just HAD to type in "FUCK" out loud. Next thing you know, I'm IP banned. Fucking great.

I really don't know about going to play MP, because I don't enjoy the PvP matches in FL. The only thing I would do, is go on an adventure in a cool ship with some nice guns with a partner or two and explore the far systems in CF and do NPC missions in groups while going deeper in the universe.

Are there pirates in your MP servers? Those are primarily the cause why I decided not to play MP again. And does your server tolerate swearing? Because I might throw a couple of F-words if shit hits the fan in the game.

What kind of features are there in MP besides other people? Does it do RP as well?

But it would work for SP, right? Thats all I need.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi, recently I've installed CF 1.81 and started playing storyline SP, but I really dislike the new advanced AI.

Can I somehow remove the new AI so I could play with the vanilla FL one, because I find it more fun to play with?

I also noticed the thread about modifying CF, about how it said you can't change stuff due to an anti-cheat system of sorts. Is there a way around this so I could make personal adjustments for my storyline SP experience?

Mainly stuff like making the missile ammo count be 500 instead of 50 and making a simple scanner be very powerful. And ofcourse disabling the new AI.

And one last question: Is it safe to use the Speed mod with CF 1.81? I like to stress that these modifications are strictly for personal SP purpose, I don't intend to play MP.

Thanks!

I know what you mean, althought the only purpose I wanted the mission rewards to be bigger so I could get a reasonable reward after beating a mission. A reward that would fit better in the crossfire universe. Considering some of the newer tech that costs a massive sums of money, the current rewards are only enough to repair my ship and resupply my missiles usually. And the rest is up to the cargo you picked up in the battle that you can get otherwise anywhere else with little effort.

I mean imagine this, you start the game and you find out you have 150k of credits that is more than enough to buy a nice loadout to begin with, but when you hit the bar and Juni is like "lol I'll give you this starflier and 2000 creds which pales in comparison to your starting moneys. Good luck!"

Will work for food huh?

Kind of feels disappointing if you get what I mean.

EDIT: Or then again, maybe I'm just a little greedy.

One more thing:
Can you increase the amount of maximum missiles you can carry at once? Like 80 or ever 100?
Or is this topic been debated over 9000 times before?
I just love making my ships as missile boats loaded with missiles and a shield killer gun, but the 50 max limit of each missile kind of sucks for long missions.

Then again, I MIGHT be greedy again. But still it'd be nice to be able to carry more missiles.

All that really matters is the mission rewards anyways.
I've heard that the whole campaign system was really messy, which is why no modder has ever created a new campaign in freelancer.

And about that, how does the CF quest work? I saw a news article on manhattan about the kusari calling for help. I'm pretty sure its not like the campaign, but I have no idea how'd you do it. Does it work in singleplayer or does it only work in the multiplayer? How do I play it?

Do I hunt for info cards and play detective somehow?

Say, is it possible to tweak the singleplayer campaign to get better pay for each mission since when I started a SP yesterday and I had a nice 150k credits in my account, Juni's first 2000 credit mission seemed like a joke. I mean a bought a rhino after I reached pittsburg fully loaded with all the goodie I could get with the starting money.

But please, change only the rewards and credit requirements for next level between the campaign missions to be higher and more challenging since right after I go sell my stuff I picked on the previous campaign mission, it already throws me on the next level and Juni wants.

Otherwise no additional ships or weapons or anything like that for the enemies nor allies, I was amazed how difficult it was to kill single enemies when they used nanobots and shield batteries and dodged like aces or atleast it seemed like so. Just the money side, if possible.
