    You sure you weren't just flying thru a nebula Rex? OP did a server change to slow down ships inertia when flying through them some time ago.


    Aside from that, what you're explaining to me is the possible fact OP has incredibly added slower inertia to ships with considerable cargo in their holds! I'll wait for OP to chime in about this possibility or to further explain...

    Well Fraise... To be honest, I'm sure OP has already poured no telling how many hours in the mod into the Sol system alone. The textures for the planets, especially Earth are already incredible looking, especially the "dual texture" of the landscape and clouds rotating at different speeds with Earth. Regardless, I guess it couldn't hurt to let OP take a look at this particular author's work, weigh in his opinion of it and say whether he decides to use it or not. A interesting find none the less, good work Ensign! :thumbup:

    ok i ran another test cuz it seems i cant just leave this mod after all that work... and seems that the Dom'Razak are now dropping guns BUT that was the only set of NPC's we got out in Ryssk and if my memory serves me correct, there is suppose to be warriors too... but YAAAAAAY i can get more guns to make more $$$!!!! wooooooohooooooo


    and my apologies for double posting!


    Ahhh, great to hear LoneAngel! I'll try to launch out from Weth this afternoon and verify myself as well. I assume OP must have solved the issue and reactivated weapon drops, so massive kudos to you OP! :thumbsup:

    To many on the server and myself of course, Crossfire is practically Freelancer 2 YourConscience. Aside from the vanilla systems still left in the mod and relatively left intact, albeit with upgrades, the rest of the added systems and the new Altair and Inner Core sectors definitely expand the "galaxy" the game takes place in... Crossfire now after many releases, is almost an entirely new mod, definitely the biggest and definitely an entirely original one in the FL community. If it weren't for the vanilla systems in it, it could easily be mistaken for a total conversion, like some other FL mods, namely Freeworlds. :D8) OP-R8R has really taken the original story-line and history of Freelancer in it's vanilla concepts and massively expanded and continued the storyline in a logical sense, namely centered around the Dom'Kavash alien race in the Inner Core and Altair sectors, with the rediscovering of the Starlancer era Coalition faction in the Altair sector. The expanding of the Sirius sector with all the X-3043 chained systems is also a massive expansion of the Sirius sector as well. Our home system of Sol is also a masterful centerpiece of OP's work, I haven't seen any other mod quite touch his level of detail or literal scale of the Sol system like he has in this mod! :thumbsup:

    Now how long did it take for the Alliance sleeperships to get to Sirius?



    BS16/2164A.D. - The Alliance's top-secret operation, "SIRIUS EXODUS" is set for launch from a remote and well defended Alliance outpost on Jupiter's moon, Europa. Unfortunately, somehow the Coalition forces discovered the information in time and sent a destroyer fleet to stop the ships from launching... Thanks to the valiant efforts of the defending Alliance fleet, all 5 ships, The "LIBERTY", the "BRETONIA", the "RHIENLAND", the "KUSARI" and the "HISPANIA" all break through the Coalition blockade and successfully engage their light-speed engines towards the Sirius sector in hope of finding a new home(s) for the Alliance peoples.


    0AS/2180A.D. - The "HISPANIA" sleeper ship arrives in Omicron Alpha; although not formally recognized in Sirius history or folklore, this could suggest that the "Outcast" colony is older than any of the "lawful" colonies and that the "Corsair" colony is even older. The history of the "HISPANIA" before it reached the Sirius sector is said that the vessel was possibly sabotaged by either the Coalition spies or by perhaps even by spies of one of the fellow allies of the Alliance! Due to this, the "HISPANIA" limps into Sirius at sub-light speed; at the first solar system with a habitable planet, the passengers of the HISPANIA take a vote. All people of the future "Corsairs" took to the escape pods of the "HISPANIA" and landed to the surface of the first somewhat habitable planet found in the solar system in what would be known as Omicron Gamma. The remaining passengers of the "HISPANIA", later to be known as "Outcasts", limped along in the sleeper ship until they came into the system with a planet of a barely habitable ecosystem, of what would be eventually known as Omicron Alpha.


    1AS/2181A.D. - The Manhattan colony, interstellar passengers of the "LIBERTY" sleepership, is established on what will be known as planet Manhattan, in a system that will also be eventually known as the New York system, in the Sirius sector.


    2AS/2182A.D. - Within this following year, the remaining Alliance sleeper ships make land-fall at their respective, future capital planets in each future capital system. The "BRETONIA" lands on it's future rainy, temperate capital planet, New London; the "KUSARI" lands on the future water/island world of New Tokyo; the "RHEINLAND" lands on it's cold, frigid world of New Berlin.

    inactive chars have been removed from the server
    not active within the last 90 days
    less than 10 mins online time


    backups exist


    Argh! If I had known that I would have started working on the character immediately... :patsch:


    The 90 days/>10 mins. online time or character deleted is a good idea, however some advance warning to all pilots would be prudent.


    Are you able to retrieve "SA_Revelations_ORION" from backups by any chance? :S


    I guess storage characters are in jeopardy now for some... :(

    Sadly, for whatever reason, Dom'Seteks and Warrior fighters are NOT DROPPING GUNS, PERIOD. I can only assume a bug has reared it's ugly head in OP's testing the server for 1.82's release. Anyway, you can slaughter Dom' fighters all you like at the moment, but do be aware you won't get any guns as me and my clanmate Fraise found out earlier today in Pyrddra and I confirmed later just 15 minutes ago with Galacticus and LoneAngel in Ryssk. I can only assume the other Dom' and/or the other alien races are the same way at the moment.


    Anyway, any ideas with this problem OP? Thanks for your time and attention in advance! :thumbup:

    Sadly, I've been bitten by this bug today... Found my "SA_Revelations_ORION" character is gone, along with the 100 million on it too. :patsch::verysad: Thanks in advance with any help or assistance in this matter OP. :thumbup: Let me know if you need any information from me that can help as well. :)

    Annnnnndddd done! Sadly there wasn't a whole lot I could use from the history given from Drakon, but at least you guys have your place in "Crossfire history" now for all future generations to see! Black Dragon comes on the scene in Kusari space in the year 810AS/2990 A.D. and the Dragon Corps are founded in 817AS/2997 A.D and given the Tohoku system by the Kusari Emperor for their actions in duty that same year. :thumbup:

    Alrighty! The Dragon Corps have given their history in Sirius! :D:D:D Look around 2990 A.D. for the blurb about Black Dragon. Goes into further detail around 2997 A.D. when the Dragon Corporation was founded. :thumbup:


    Sorry if it's not very thorough Crysis, there was only so much I could incorporate from that DC history as alot has changed in Crossfire since Drakon wrote it. (the 1.80 release specifically) Hope you guys like it! :thumbsup:

    Great! :thumbup: I'll see about trying to incorporate this story into the history/timeline thread Crysis, I probably won't elaborate too much from the given story. Anyway, I'll see what I can do! I'll post a message in the thread when the Dragon Corps history/timeline events have been incorporated. :D8)
