heh, mines are the most dangerous... as a Starflier can hold Dual Mines... actually, not sure... there are things in favor and things against. For now better not, but we can make a try. All participants of the first Starflier TDM on next Sunday 8(or if it's better 7) PM server timewill be beta testers at some issues, and try things they never tryed in a starflier !

And I will participate in the event myself... for beta testing like all the others there I wear the items that may be needed for the tests in a store for that EM char.

After all those years you are unable to let old issues drop and you used every chance to bring them up again.

You talk/write alot... but listening/reading/understanding is not your strength

The thing you wisely said (even Idon't know about those issues) is a thing that happens with more people that are on the server, logically, the older players got weaker due to the ammount of problms they had, even that doesn't mean some newer players do that, just because they are weak at dropping things from the past, even a near one.

And then, I think those both points are mostly true... mainly the first one.

There already are some changes that are starting in the server... with a hope they won't disturb the players like SPs, neither any others. In a nearly desesperated try of a tiny group to help, and solve problems to make the mod we all Love to be as populated as others that has nothing original, like Discovery... they don't have any original addings to the mod, only some ships and systems, but they didn't needed to add more stuff, as they have more population than they need.

I hope we could, once, (maybe like the next weekend), make another meeting within our group, with you OP, as you are the one with most experience, and opinion's value, and you also can make things that we as a group with different opinions from each clans and freelancers that seems better for all, or nearly.

Well, since this morning, due to the objectives of this event, I have free hands and full support from OP to make this new event real, as I think better for all, and the server, and I take the opinions of the majory, after passing them by a neutral filter, abou it's reasons, utility, efficiency and athmosphere.

The ship for the event will sill be Starflier, most wanted it since a while ago, and actually as it's the fastest, weakest ship, there are needed skills to take others down and win the event. Even new players may not have the skills enough, they still get training, prizes, teamwork, new friendships, good athmosphere that brins obedience to the rules, in the best of the situations.

>>>Extra statements<<<

The equipment that a Starflier can wear, is nearly solved. Any weapon that starflier can mount except missles are allowed. The starflier won't wear any armor, shield upgrade, no weight reducers can be mounted (anyway),no power gen, as some participants couldn't buy them, (anyway 50 % of starflier energy is nearly nothing, useing the energy you have wisely in the good moments also is a skill), no missle launchers neither ammo, as some would complain about server lag and that missles are not targeting...(anyway a lvl 3 gun is beter than a lvl 3 missle, it can do more damage) , no better thrusters than "Advanced Thruster" of 6K $ that is sold everywhere, and any participant can be ready fast.

Shields are the thing to be decided... we will check the TDM without shields, then I will pass the best lvl 3 shilds that Starflier can mount, and see which of them works better... Shields can make killing another harder... but the ones killing another Starflier with shield would show better skills... even not wearing shields would make the kills grow up a lot, even it's mostly a thing of luck who makes the last shot and takes the kill of the target, if there are more on one.

In my current knowledge of opinions about this event, the majory choose, as I had in-game replyes, of other people that preferred to stay out of posting here, and others that didn't saw this thread yet, but talked about the idea, before this happened.

The Starflier TDM Event Manger char is functional now.

And so the normal TDm Event manager char. Hope to see many of you there today, there wasn't any TDM for a good while heh

EDIT: @ Bond, it takes me 50 seconds to scan 10 players (and people may whine more that somebody has better upgrade or missle that him or others), and it takes 10 minutes for Each player to take down(kill) with lvl 3 weps some extra armors, shields and upgrades.... I and many here think the simple way is the shortest for all, and more efficient. The decisions were made by general opinions, and majory of them.

Remember, today Monday 09, there will be a normal TDM event If there are many participants(hopefuly more than 10, or 6..) there may be some new things at the event.

The server time hour of the event would be(for today) between 8:30 and 9:00, delayed a bit for some reasons. The hour of this post in Server Time is 8:00 AM, so you can use some maths if you're not sure which hour the server has.

I hope to see you there !
thx

Noone told nothing wrong about you, you are great ! don't worry
Even, it's god that you have your neutrality, but that doesn't mean to not help your mates solve problems in an objective way, or at least much, sry if I'm not informed about your works

Actually Rhon, seems we lost two SPs today/theese days... if you check "No more SP" thread also. SPs lost all or part of the support they had by OP... and the SPs that weren't involved into problems felt bad for something they didn't did, like Lucy, that has just about a week or two as SP, and seems it's over... she couldn't even make problems in a week.

Anyway OP is God in this game, and we, INcludeing SPs have to listen him... if not, he has all rights to punish, even the punishment should be at the size of the problem, and not much bigger for the past of it.

Well, we can't know, mostly maybe yes, and maybe not, if OP mix it in the CF mod or so.

Anyway why are we worryed about 1.9 when we didn't checked neither 1.8

I know, saw about your MSN contacts, anyway you know who you can trust more... since old times.

Anyway the situation of the server is getting improoved, and there are plans/ideas of how to do it in group of many....

yes, I've explained you Gunny, that your name was told just few times, for some other reasons, and it wasn't a meeting to blame you, and neither a PX told about you, even you thought I was telling only the good side, or protecting you, I mostly choose to say the truth instead of that

Yes, glad to hear that Doober And welcome to the community, will see you in CrossFire server

"canceled" isn't a nice word

The fun of it, also as I heard, is the leak of hi-tech as darkomen says...the lowest class, easyer to kill and best at evadeing ship ever.

The ship is definately Starflier... also in honor of poor Juni that once gifted that ship, and died generations ago xD

Well, for the moment I expect votes/opinions about to shields and armors be allowed or not, and about the event

I don't think shield upgrades can be mounted, anyway it just upgarde with few points... power generators would be nearly unusseful, and armor bonuses yes make a change.

All people are interested in this TDM for the low stats and easiness of killing ohtehr starfliers... and the speed of them. Armor upgrade maks them slower, and the rest yes, bring some differences and unfair things. I could have them in my cargo, so I could donate them to newbies, but I think it's better that all starfliers have just weapons, tractor beam and a normal shield mounted, also CMs if the decision of the ones voteing here desires that starfliers are allowed to mount missles.

EDIT: Diablo, I just took the system location from your idea, because I heard more asking for it (even if some of them weren't talking with me heh) the idea was running arround the server, until now. And I made a full scale even statistics with the ideas of others, and my adds.

People here can vote also if starfliers will be allowed or not to mount anything... bring your(anyone) vote clear plz

And hope OP will accept this idea, so it can be made real until next weekend.

If the campaign is still running, you can count me in... I've always been trying to do this thing but I was alone until now.

I have to say I agree with Pipe at most points. The thing about Discovery is true... even there have many more rules, and can ban someone even for stealing some drops from a group of players that are mining in the asteroids and then act with bad behaviour... as I saw that.

With your post, you clearly told that SPs has to be neutral, to not punish other (or opposite RP clan members) with bigger punishments, just for the RP difference, and have the most objective view of the things possible, and you saw the problems.

A good thing of punishments would be banning for one day, 2, 5, a week, people that has bad behaviour, after the first ban that should be short, if the problem repeats, the second would be bigger, and so on. But the hint would be banning half of the time the one that was the "victim" of the one insulting him, as in most of the heavyer situations, they have been provoked, and then not many players can hold on while they get provoked... by KoS, dockrapping and so... where SPs would be the exception of this for now...

You know, like in Discovery, that any disturber that has nothing to see with RP battles/fights... get banned for a period, in real life, the afraid of the police, and the ones that believe in God... afraid by him (just to be saved), and so on... on CF the ones that should be police or nearly(not SP but high ranking that defend his clan) are the ones that has conflicts and disturbs...
maybe haveing yourself in the game would save many people... just until the SPs get in oder, as half of them got renewed...

In any case, in my opinion you should never loose the hope, and give up... with the server, or with the CF 1.8. A hint would be that you had a man, as spy... that is active, and see who is makeing problems, a spy that noone knows about him, that could be a bad fighter newbie, or a clan member... most people would get the needed terror to stop haveing bad mood because he or his mates got killed, haveing a bigger problem to be afraid of

Your helper,
Mike

I hope so
The objectives of this event are many... like is said in the first post, bringing fun and motivateing new players to keep laying CF (after the event), even if it's their first minute in the server, to bring fun to all, remake friendship (it would be funny getting others in Starflier, and if you(any participant) get killed it won't look so bad ), bringing new prizes, funding new players, helping CF's server population increase, etc.

And as I'm already EM of the normal TDM, it would be no problem help with two TDMs, while it's for the good of all

No need to say that if there are insults, those participants will get killed and kicked, anyway I will try that the athmosphere be the best, so no problems appear

Hmm... donations are accepted, but not necessary a point I forgot to tell.

Yep, if all go fine,it will happen next week

Greetings all,

I may have the try, as the current manager of the normal TDM, to create a new event called Starflier TDM.

For more efficiency of the new event, I make this thread so any visitor bring his opinions and ideas.

The current settings of the Starflier Grand Melee are theese:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[GLOW=red][SIZE=4] The Crossfire Starflier Grand melee event, also known as Starflier Team Death Match [/SIZE] [/GLOW]

Event Manager: Michael
Date: Sunday at 8 PM servertime (type /time in the chat to see the servertime)
Event duration: until 1 hour
System: California, planet Los Angeles

Objective and How does it work:
Each and every Sunday the CF starflier grand melee will be run. Two teams fight each other in California. The team with more kills is proclaimed winner. Teams are inter-clan, meaning that pirates, mercs, smugglers and cops usually fight alongside each other and Freelancers and new players are very, Very welcome to take part. This event is also usseful to train new players, also helping them with an ammount of credits for participating, even if they loose or win.

(It would be grateful if players that see this, or know about the server to announce each new players about it, it would bring them fun, and more motivation to keep playing ^^, for the good of the server, CF, and community. )

Rules:
Only starfliers are allowed to take part (no exceptions)
No Mines, nanobots or shield batteries.
Killed players must return to the fight ASAP
No suicide, no dockraping
Selfkills are penalized (if possible xD)
All participants may have to wear a minimum of 3 - 5 mill credit$, with exception of new players, that will get funded before the event.
The only Shield to be mounted is the cheap lvl 2 one sold at the same location as the event, planet LA in Calif.

Prize money:
Varies, usually 5 million $ per member of the defeated team and 20 million $ per member of the winning team.

More info:
~~ The Starflier EM char will wear[in cargo for participants](just in case) the best weaponry that starflier can use. Anything that starflier can use is accepted, shields, weapons, armors, licenses... , except mines (anyway they just make lagg and do no damage at that lvl).
~~ The EM char will also be loaded with credits, and will donate at any participant new players that are low on credits, even if they are just new, or they used them on another char.
~~ As in the Objectives chapter, anyone is allowed, even lvl 1 ! newbies, that desire to play. They will be funded before the event starts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The system and location of the event is situated at Los Angeles, because in Texas there are problems with NPCs(too many, more chances to hit them), that at LA there are jsut police NPCs, so no CSF or pirates disturb the new chars (that some might not get bribed with Junkers, for being new). It's also chosen, because it's a place near NY, and easy to reach it.

This post is so anyone can vote for it, so it can be created, as it got requested by quite many players including experienced ones, as a new fun.

This post is also for anyone that can bring ideas to it...

So, any doubt's any opinions ? All positive ones are accepted

PS: The event would start next Sunday if it gets enough votes... some stuff has to be done before the event get available and legal

Hope the release is sooner now by Christmas it would be great.... as most of us have more time... no work, no classes, etc An we can feel it together.... also test if the new server can hold many players at once
