Quote from Duck_Dodgers (SA_SCORPION)

Depends on your needs. PvP, PvE, Exploration, etc.

I was expecting that answer. Lets perefrase my Q and make 3 Qs out of it:

1-Which ship is best for PvP?
2-Which ship is best for PvE (hope E stands for Computer oponents ) ?

3-Which ship is best for Exploration (I can't see the purpose of this one, having the two above, but since you asked for it...) ?

Ohh and thanks Husker. Very helpful answer no arguments here.....

Which one is the best ship in the game (and please dont say "a Battleship")?

Quote from Ajay

Of course, I CAN give you 10-15 mils I usually earn in a couple of pod-huntings on my Haidar.
But the all of the fun of self-developement will go down the drain. If you still want to destroy it - I'd warned you.
About ships: Ships you use or like in MP
Here some people tell what ships do they use and why.

I already had that fun in the SP, so I don't want to do it all over again in MP. So yes, I want to destroy it. Come on people, why do you make it so hard. Just give me 15 mils now and I promic, as soon as I got rich I will give it back to you.

Now back to the clans again. I read the topik about clans, but it actually says nothing beside some nametags. Info about, how many people are in the respective clan, how often do they play, how to join it, is totally missing. So I will just shoot my Q and please give me a straight forward answer, not riddled one or suggestions how to be less lazyer -How do I join Lost Prophets or Sirius Maroder Gang? And don't tell me that I have to do a bunch of tests and gain whatever number experience level.....

OK, than if I am not to beleive in the stats, just go ahead and tell me which ship is good. There is a whole bunch of them.

As for the MP, for now I will stick to SP, cause I already accumulated more than 100 000 000 credits and want to enjoy the fealing of being sugar daddy for little longer. When I've got more free time, I will join the MP to try to earn some money (little dissapointed that there isn't one generous and lazy people loving guy amongst you ).

As for the clans- I can't find my way in the clan tread. My question is, which clan is most close to the description I gave in my previous post and how to join that clan?

Quote from Martind Forlon

In MP you are your own boss and is on you to pay your bills. Is not so bad try start with knowledge you gained in SP.

About ships: different hard-points placement, different numbers of hardpoints for extra equipment, different agility, different sizes ... I think this list can continue but maybe you can have now better idea

Enjoy and welcome in MP ... true CF! (and watch your six, pirates are lurking everywhere )

OK back to this- I will give an example. Here we have my curent ship the Titan, which costs about 700 000 credits. Next to it is one of the new ships the Griffin, which costs about 8 000 000. The Titan beats the Grifiin in the Armor and Nano bot capacity areas. The griffin is just a little better in cargo space. All the other stats are the same. Now can somebedy explain me, why shoud I pay as much as ten Titan ships for one Griffin, having in mind that the Titan is better? And there are a lots of other way to expcenive ships besides the griffin that are not as good as the Titan. Is there something that I miss here?

As for the MP help - who wnats to donate me several mils so I can get a jump start. Also- how can I join a clan, but not just any clan. I want to join a cland that fights other clans a lot

What exactly means "help" in MP ? If only I had money, I doubt I would need any help. So does "help" means that you are going to give me money?

And something else- whats the fastest way to get escape pods (the once that are sold to prisons)? Killing rogues, doesn't give a lot of them....

Thank you both. Finally reached Mars with the stupid transports. If I could I would have killed them myself .

I wonder something. The new ships that come with the CF mod, costs milions. But when I compare their stats with my Titan, the look almost the same. So why the hell do they cost as much as 10 Titans, when the stats are almost equal. Is there something that is not shown in the stats?

P.S.- oh I almost forgot. Does somebody wants to give me several milion credits in Multiplayer ? What was my supprice when I entered Multi today and found out that all my hard earned single player credits do not tranfer in MP

Just wanted to report, that the new missions are really buggy the further I progress. On top of that, I reached a mission where I have to eskort two trains form Dublin to Mars. Well, that is impossible. First of all, had to restart the mission several time in the Hyperion system, because the trains couldn enter the traind line correctly and just got stuck in the beggining. When I finally did it, later in the Sol system, I reached to Jupiter somehow. But what was my supprise, when the trains, instead of taking the Mars traid line (the mission is to escort them to Mars), they took the Earth one. Than after we reached Earth, another supprice- the trains just turned back and went all the way to Jupiter on cruise speed. After we got to Jupiter, the stupid trains tried to dock again with the traid line to EARTH (damn it), but unfortunatelly, they couldn't do it for some reason and ended up doing constant circles arount the traid line. Thats when my patience run out and I quit the game.

So I wanted to ask-is there any way to skip that obviously buggy misson and preceed to the next one, because I really got into the story ?

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

the game is not too hard... you just use the wrong equipment

Man, I wrote a whole novel up there and you just answered with one sentence .
Come on, give me something to work with...

OK everybody, time for the next series of
questions.

First of all, why the hell you (mod
developer) made the game sooooo damn hard. Ones it took me almost half an hour
just to take out several regular Reinland fighters. Don’t remember the regular
Freelancer been so hard. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the perf.ini trick, I would
have been stick to the first 2-3 missions. So, the questions:

1-what are the best weapons in the game. Of
course this should be 10-th lvl weapons? Just give me the names and I will try
to find the locations myself. And by the way, is there any point at all, using
turrets and mines? Turrets I think can’t take a ship down, even if I have 100
attached to me. As for the mines, its freaking hard to hit something with them.

2-whats the easiest way to make a lots of
money fast. I noticed the cool new ships for sale, but all of them cost millions.
Currently I have about 2 mil, but is hardly not enough even for a paintjob . The fastest one I've found, is buying
pharmaceuticals (if I remember correctly) form Planet Blood and selling them on
neighbor planet Molog in Custodian. But doing this even with the ship that has
the largest cargo space (from the regular ones) Dromedary, brings me only about
a 200 000 per run. Do you know of a faster way to gain money?

3-when I got rich (for which I need your
input on the upper q.), which ship is the best, so I can go ahead and purchase
it? I know, that from the regular one, it is the Titan, but I have almost no
observations on the new ships. So which one is the best of them? And whats the
deal with the battleships? If I purchase one, shall I be the terror of the
univerce ?

OK, thats it. Now I will await for some
experience player to do some input here and he will have my gratitute
forever

Guys, what’s the theme song, for when the
ship lifts off a planet? Pretty cool and want to download it for ringtone

Thanks to all. Will try to install it now. If something else pops up, will ask here again

Quote from SilverFox

Howdy cveteca,

Only CF 1.9 is supported and install by these instructions in th FAQ http://www.swat-portal.com/php…ail&category=7#question12
The extended CF storyline continues immediately after vanilla storyline - that's it
Don't cheat in SP or you will be a sheep in MP (and I know what thats like) - c training video to get a better fighter pilot @PvP Video Training
When you continue the storyline you will find much more difficult NPCs

Hope this helps

OK, I've got some of my questions answered.
I will repeat the once I didn’t get an answer (or at least I do not see it):

4-If I manage and install the game, what
exactly should I do, in order to start the
additional campaign, after I finish the regular one? - I've been there before last time I did the regular
campaign, and after the last mission Trent was in Manhattan and I couldn’t find
any way to start the new additional campaign. Is there something I should do,
or somewhere I should go in order to launch the new campaign sequence?

5-In the mod, is it still possible to reduce the difficulty, by altering the ini
file, as in the regular game. Please don’t kill me, for asking this, I would
never cheat in multiplayer games - please just give me the answer-this is single player, and most of all-it’s MY game and
I like to play it the way I want. So- is it possible to cheat (I prefer to call
it "reduce difficulty") or no in SP?

OK, so I have been searching for help about
two years by now and finally gave up and decided to write here. I am not sure I
will get the right answers, but I'm out of options.

So, I've been playing the Freelancer
regular campaign several times and got bored. I've found out that this
Crossfire mod, is some kind of a continuation of the regular campaign and decided
to give it a try. And this is where I hit a wall. First of all, there are three
versions of the mod: 1.7/1.8 and 1.9. Than the is the Mod Launcher versions.
When finally I managed to install and run the mod, I couldn’t find a single
trace of new storyline. It was all the same as before, with only the new
systems added (which is good, but not what I wanted). So now I am going to
shoot with several very concrete questions and I am hoping I will get clear
answers to them (just to clarify that I don’t like smart guys trying to be
funny, or puzzle type answers-just go straight to the point). So here we go:

1-First of all, is it really possible to
play additional single player camping beside the regular one with the mod, or
no? If this is a negative, please ignore all the other questions.

2-Which version of the mod should I
download and install (1,7/1,8/1,9 or all of them)?

3-What are the exact installation
steps-please explain them so that even a sheep will understand them....

4-If I manage and install the game, what exactly
should I do, in order to start the additional campaign, after I finish the
regular one?

5-In the mod, is it still possible to
reduce the difficulty, by altering the ini file, as in the regular game. Please
don’t kill me, for asking this, I would never cheat in multiplayer games

This is what pops in my mind for now. If I
have additional questions later, be prepared for second edition.

i am using XP SP2 ,and still can't start the MP
