Not only for the sheer complexity of the objects and number of them, namely the alien jumpgates, planetary debris/asteroids, fragments, and the Crossfire Docks, but the insane on-going, non-stop ASF/CSF NPC battles that take place randomly with ships ranging from battleships to fighters! And if you're not careful, you can get blown away from getting too close to their battleship flak fire and explosions!
Honest Daywalker, I don't see it being a problem as you'd want to have your pointer able to reach the edges of the screen for the most extreme turn radius point for your ship. With the left and right HUD elements in the way at the edge of the screen, it would decrease possible turning radius while they are "up" or "expanded". I quite like and appreciate where they are right now in widescreen format. Now the screwed up camera angle when you first log-in on the server and show up on a station or ship is what chaps my rear, I have to park only on planets, bases and ship that have the launch icon being on-screen first, otherwise I have to jack with y resolution on-screen in order to get out! 
No, no, no! Clan [ANC] anti Piraten
I`m avatar - Death to pirates!
I have drawn a card to you!
Ahhhh, I stand corrected, welcome aboard regardless Mongol and the ANC clan! :]
I've already created some CF 1.81 maps of all three sectors in PDF format HERE *clickme* Mongol if you want. 
Ahhh well, judging from Mongol's avatar I'd say...
PIE-RATZ!!!! 
Welcome clan ANC, we're glad to have you!
That's a pretty good one Uncleglennie, however the first time I really knew this was like no other mod was when I first entered the X-3043 system...
The next time it was when I came into the Sovetskaya system...
After that, the many Dom'Kavash systems in Altair... Immediately afterwards my blood pressure rose, broke a sweat and I would have many OHSHI... OHSHI... OHSHI... moments.
More recently, it was going though the GMG Hypergate into the Inner Core and seeing what was supposed to be in the original Freelancer, now in the Inner Core system in the Crossfire mod, the incredible cosmic singularity, a Black Hole. (what was originally supposed to be in a "Omega-13" system)
There are probably more oooooohh and ahhhh moments I've had in game since 1.8's release, but those are probably the main ones. :]
Lets not start this chat again about the SPs abusing rights. Too many false accusations were made and the first time it starts again, Im packung up from CF and I wont be back. That's an absolute.
Agreed and sorry if may have accidently drug up any discussion towards that Gunny, I know you took alot of undeserved flak back then as a SP.
Regardless gentlemen, what's in the past needs to stay there, let's move forward for the greater good of the mod and the server. 
Well, if it's any consolation Rex, I'm not really crazy about this position(I've never done server policing on a FL server or any other gaming servers for that matter) as I was nominated without much decision or debate. Regardless, the decision has been made and I hold this mod in high regard, therefore I want to do the best job I know to do my duties and to fulfill this role as it's a way of contributing and giving something back to the server. As I've noticed over the years, server policing is usually a thankless job and sometimes it can be more trouble than one would want to deal with. So in dealing with my own clan and others, I have no choice in that I cannot play favorites as when I step into "Ryleous Arkane (GR)" I am no longer a Silver Arrow, but a Galaxy Ranger, a Crossfire Server Policeman. Besides, considering past events and the way OP dealt with the server police issues back in 1.7 right before the release of 1.8, I'd say his tolerance nowadays for server police position and privilage abuse is ZERO.
Sorry in advance if this is necrothreading, I figured this would be the best place to post and notify you OP...
I guess since ARROW has *ahem* volunteered me as a (GR) representative for the Silver Arrows as we are now an offical CF server clan, I'll be working on getting "Ryleous Arkane (GR)" created, setup and moved to Earth in Sol in sometime this week.
Dude, they are noobs. Only after 10-15 waves... you're dead ofc. I don't give a sh*t if you saw me when I was killing a lot of them in hope of finding that " Alien Torpedo Launcher ". I spent a lot of time in there hoping I would find it... and guess what , .. after that time, OP declared it that it doesn't exist.
And Arrow my friend, ..I've been in the Inner Core a lot of times. The fact that you didn't see me there doesn't prove that I wasn't there , lols
And perhaps we can go there sometime to prove you that they are really noobs(until I reach 10-15 waves). Also we can make a few pvps as well(as I am dying of killing someone) .. you can also take someone with you if you're too afraid.
***E-thug alert***
Sure Crysis, whatever you say buddy... And spare me the attitude bro.
Considering the fact I've been on the last few Inner Core mission events sponsored by the PX and the SA, with a crapload of freelancers and other clansmen regulars on the server and what happened against the Dom's with a full wing of fighters and some battleships, I'm sorry but I'd have to call shenanigans.
I'm not going to deny the chance you might be better pilot than me Crysis, because I don't have the time to devote to become a PvP master of Freelancer, much less do I have very limited amount of time to play on the server these days. However I choose not to get into e-penis contest usually associated with PvP,(and the associated butthurtz) because there are too many other variables that play into who loses and who wins in a pvp duel, at that point it no longer becomes a game of skill or chance. (read: PING times dictate who loses and I'm the other side of the pond from the server) Bottomline, don't think anyone that can take out Dom fighters with the kinds of numbers you're claiming, otherwise, I would have seen it with my own eyes with some talented pilots I've had the pleasure of doing sorties with in the Inner Core for alientech.
The fact remains, the Dom' races are the hardest NPCs anyone has ever seen, especially outside of this mod and I know this for a fact, because I have played lots of Freelancer mods over the years. I have to say, OP has done a fine job in creating the hardest NPCs to date I've ever seen, with the NPC use of bats, bots, thruster strafing, engine kill, massive firepower of 6x lvl 10 alientech guns and the use of bait and switch group tactics as Uncleglennie mentioned, they are very imposing NPC opponents who will give even a seasoned, long-time playing Freelancer pilot a good curb stomping if they aren't prepared for them.
Roger that Vice-Admiral, I was on till about 10:30 CST last night...
Aliens are noobs
Nomads? Maybe... :]
Dom' races? LMAO! FRAPs video of you destroying a wing of Dom fighters or cruisers and/or motherships by yourself, completed unaided, NAO. 
Seriously though, the Inner Core sector is not to be treaded alone Uncleglennie, even with a fully upgraded high-end ship... Unless you're doing scouting/recon missions and mapping the systems... The Dom'Kavash systems are a walk in the park though, as long as you don't piss off the natives.
The rewards for destroying Dom' fighters are great though, they possess some of the best lvl 10 guns in the mod.
Server appears in the list but is not accessible. The time to connect is exceeded hence a timeout message.
Yea, I've seen the serv0r do this a number of times since the release of 1.8... Strange. Did this the other night too... Most annoying.
Probably the DomK,R and whatnote aliens are preparing for something destructive^^ SA - UR - keep your eyes open. Your houses are in danger^^
OH NOEZ WE R TEH INVADZ0RED!!!1 BATULSTASHUNS EVRY 1!!!! ALL UR BASE BELONG 2 US!!!!
Sorry guys, after last night I was about 2 shakes from wanting to put some buckshot through my computer... Also, I don't do IC missions without torpedos, period, I have zero of them in my ammo hold at the moment. So yea, I'm heading back to Sirius ASAP.
Due to unfortunate circumstances apparently beyond my control, the server is not cooperating and I cannot get Scout5 back into Sirius space Vice-Admiral. I spent 3-4 hours last night traveling through the Inner Core systems and the DK Altair systems only to firstly have the server crash and loose my progress, next, I get obliterated by an incredible overwhelming Nomad force in Mandar,(right in front of the Styx gate no less) THEN I get obliterated again by an unexplainable phenomenon that utterly destroyed my ship without warning coming through the Sovetskaya gate. Needless to say my ass is thoroughly chapped and I need a nice long break to get my blood pressure back in check before I log into that server again anytime soon.
I also sure as hell am not taking Fighter5(Demios) into the Inner Core, as it's bad enough I can barely hold it's own against Ancients in it, let alone try to take on the much more highly maneuverable Razak, Nepesh, Setek, Savage, Sentinel and Warrior fighters.
So again, sorry gentlemen, but it seems I'll be sitting this one out, my apologies in advance and good hunting to you sirs.
YAY4HUOR! Welcome back man, good to know you can't keep a bad pie-rat clan down!
Hmmm... I still see Rhonetaz out on the server from time to time... He's been wondering where the rest of you guys are at in a previous and somewhat brief conversation...
