    I also tried CF 1.7 on Seven. It runs even faster and smoother. It doesn't freezes at some intervals (due to my occupied RAM or my overheated GPU). Anyway, Windows Seven is the best. Remember, it has DX11 ;) . That's all that matters :D .

    So, OP, from what I understand, there are not many things left to be done in CF1.8. Am I right? :D


    I also am going to order a new HDD, in fact, one more. I have one of 180 GB now but I need more space, + a few more partitions especially one for Seven :D .

    Of course we would... Make the game as cool as possible ! The size doesn't matter ! Unless there are namibians here :P .

    My bad here... I bet it's about what happened between me and Hägar on the DC forum...

    Jack is right, actually. We don't need that kind of bomb so hard.


    Anyway, it's a good idea, but, it's TOO good. Just TOO BIG ! So expensive... + the effects... 1 week system unavability?! :(

    Whatever a black hole is, no one can say for sure. I saw on TV that the closest black hole is in Andromeda or Pegasus, not in Milky Way. Anyway... let's hope it doesn't get too close to our solar system :D .


    Jack's explanation was the best... kinda. I've heard this idea of growth black holes, but I never beleived it. Even if it does grow, the singularity itself cannot grow, it's like you say a pixel is growing =)) . Only the evenhorizon grows (or space-time continuum if I'm not wrong). And, if the evenhorizon grows, the risk of getting absorbed into the singularity grows as well... So, it's like the singularity grows, `coz once you're sucked in, you cannot exit... unless you have some warp 10 reactors or some hyperspace-window device =)) .




    Now, about the concept... Perhaps you can lower the price of the bomb... And make it AMMO. I mean, you can launch it with any Torpedo Launcher, but you need AMMO (1 torpedo = 1 black hole), and this ammo will cost... let's say 500 milions (1 bil each part = 4 bil in total :O ). And, once a system is destroyed, you CAN enter it, but the radiations level are so high that your Lagg will be "shot down" in less than 30 seconds :P . Don't make a system unavailable for a week :( . At least, one day, if the high radiation idea doesn't sound good :D .



    [--------------------]


    I was hoping that you would never think about raising prices for items in 1.8 :D . Hope you forget that =)) .

    From what I've seen on scientific TV channels (I assume you all know them :D ), a black hole is a gravitation field. In fact, there is one tiny little dot in the middle of what we call "the black hole" which is the singilarity itself, and, if matter reaches that point, it is being... TELEPORTED TO NOWHERE, as I said before. That means, it dissapears, just like that ! There's no exiting point of the black hole... Or even if it is, as you said, there will be only one tiny molecule representing what got inside the hole, but, it will be pure energy ffs X( .


    It is not a Stargate/Atlantis wormhole, it is not a FarScape wormhole, it is not a HaHaLookHowBigMyImaginationCanBe wormhole =)) .


    The black hole is the END OF EXISTENCE for everything that falls in it ! At least, until NASA builds a star ship fast enough to reach the closest black hole (which is in Andromeda or Pegasus galaxy, I can't recall right now - far far away anyway =)) ), and gets a pilot brave enough to die for the cause that he knows he cannot transmit any radio waves after what he entered the black hole, so, his mission was useless, so was his death, and, NASA gets punk'd, `coz the pilot died and the company couldn't receive any informations regarding the black hole. HAHA ! =)) =)) =))
    <<<attempt to link every story event with the other one =)) fail I guess, `coz I cannot formulate the proper English at this hour of day :D>>>



    Now, about the singularity bomb in CF... It should be called "Black Hole Weapon", just like that. You don't fire just the singularity, you fire an EM (Electro-Magnetic) bomb powerful enough to disrupt the space-time continuum. In the end, the black hole itself will be created.


    You say 1/4 parts needed to build ONE black hole will cost 1 billion credits?! That means you have to spend 4 billion credits for the parts, then, I guess, another 1 billion credits to link all parts together (like it wasn't enough I spent 4 BILLION on the parts =)) ). Maybe you can tight all up together to a price of 1 bilion credits, so you just buy AMMO for the launcher, and the launcher will be the same you use to launch torpedos :D :D :D . Anyway, that's your decision afterall, but don't make it too expensive so only Vyssoksy (hope I spelled it right; if not, sorry :D ) can blow up X-3043 and we'll have no chance to revenge, `coz it's too expensive =)) .


    So, if you shoot a black hole (cannot shoot a black hole in reality I guess, even if we would have the technology. You can't just throw it away rofl =)) ) to a sun, the sun GOES OFFLINE (turns off), all its radiation and whatever was inside it expand so much that it reaches every point of the system (just like in the "Freelancer - extended intro" which you can watch on YouTube). See? Use Microsoft's immagination ! See what those Nomads did (how the sun blow-up happened, not the bomb itself lol) and see if you can do that :D .


    If you can implement all these in CF 1.8, I bet we'll have 200/200 players. Which will struggle to get ONE black hole weapon, so they can test it on a system, don't care what system it is, and blow it up for an entire whole week which btw is a pretty long time... I thought it will be all "repaired" after a server restart, just like the loots etc.


    :D :D :D :D ENORMOUSLY HUGE LONG POST ! SORRY ! :D

    The singularity bomb is a mini blackhole... In fact, the singularity is the "hot spot" of a black hole, the place where everything which falls in is being... teleported, to nowhere!


    This weapon would be the greatest improvement for weapons, but, as others said... it could be used in evil purposes :D . Who can stop someone from using it during a PvP...


    It should be able to destroy PLANETS rather than stations. Even asteroids, nebulas, even suns... Like a real black hole :D . Theoretically, it should be able to make everything in its path to dissapear!


    But now, it's up to OP on how he modifies it :D .

    OP, I don't know if this break is because of what happened between me and Haegar (which means the entire DC clan), but if it is because of me, I want to apology, again.


    I had some nerves trouble in the past 2 months (long story), and for 2 times it was so badly that I forgot everything I did for 2-3 days, then I recalled, and I regreted so much :)) . Very long story... I guess Crysis knows a bit of it :P .


    Anyway, you deserve a break. I'm struggling to create a stupid language pack file (edit some letters) for my phone for almost 3 weeks, and I'm not far from going crazy :)) . I can't immagine how you can work on an entire game mod and a forum...


    Rest, come back with new forces, new ideas perhaps... finish this mod and make the Discovery team envy =)) .

    I am patient :P . I have other games to play too... Crysis for example :D .


    Discovery is overplayed lol. They have 65 players most of the time >.< .
    I saw we had ~30 players on CF1.7 a few weeks ago, and I had to retarget every 5 seconds in order to make my missiles/CDs to home into the "enemy" during pvp =)) .

    Mates, seriously now... We're approaching the end of February and we still got no sign from OP. "Soon, soon, soon, SOON, SOON ! VERY SOON ! WAIT ! BE PATIENT !" :D . This starts to look like an issue when we bring our car to the service, they order the needed parts, and, once they have them, the car is still not done even after a few weeks (real situation) =)) .

    Yeah, I bet DK have found a way to control the gravitation ! Remember : OP is their father ;) . DKs are not real ! Calm down ! They're not gonna invade Earth, don't have an cerebral vascular accident yet =]] .


    In fact, trade lanes and anything else in solar systems in FL does NOT orbit the Sun ;) , but you can immagine that they do, but your NAV map remains the same =)) . They would, only in reality, and only the planets will orbit around the Sun, and maybe the asteroid field around Jupiter...


    OP, don't do this ! It would be very disorienting. Just fix that bug in TL/WL (Trade/Warp Lanes) where the "jump lane" activates in the wrong side =)) .

    Wait a second, I thought every mod creator must have the original code of the game, and that's how he makes the mod - by editing the code... What the heck?!

    A storyline means what you, as a player, experience during game. You press "New Game" and start the game, and, until you accomplish all missions, until you gain the greatest level, it's called story line. When you've reached level 40 (or whatever the max was), you've ended the storyline (except issues when players take TitanFLStart savegame and start with level 40 from beginning but continue with missions =)) ).


    The point is that CF 1.7 has no storyline. That intro movie you see is not a story line in fact. It's showing you what happened before you start story line (in this CF world :P ). But there is no modification added to FL story line (new missions, mission changes etc.). Is it?!?!?!

    Question ( :D ) : what's that X-3043 Timeshift quest? A job that you take and when you launch to space you're in that time when that Nomads vs. X-3043 war started and the main planet was destroyed?!


    By the way, the graviometric core (which is the center of the exploded planet) is too close to Planet Crossfire :D . If you re-combine all those asteroids around the graviometric core, the planet will be too close to PCF, and, as result, the gravitation field around a planet will combine with the other's, resulting a big boom :D =)) .

    I didn't knew that after target's shield is down, if you continue shooting Tizonas at him, his power is being drained as well. Thank you for the tip :D .


    Homeros, I recommend you not to use F1 anymore. Suicide (ha) or put someone to kill you (you lose 100k from your summary of 100 billion credits, what a shame =)) ).


    One more bug on Destroyer/Battleship : about those Flag or Flak Cannons, however they're called. Turn Rate : 100, Range : 0. What the frell?! And, they don't turn (home) to the targets. I hope you'll fix this bug in 1.8, so we can use these Flag Cannons like we use the DomKavash Annihilator :D :D :D .
    One more bug on Destroyer (dunno if on Battleship as well, `coz it doesn't fit on the screen when in wormhole in so way so I can see the engine, so, I don't see the engine =)) ) : sometimes, when travelling between systems (you know, that wormhole), the engine goes off (it's not lit anymore), but after I exit the wormhole, it returns to "fire" :D . It's not a problem, but, it's still a bug :P .

    I can't play so often anymore... Very much to learn. For example, I have 4 consecutive tests this week + ECDL or CISCO or how the hell it's named... I barely make myself some time to finish the PowerPoint/Word projects for school and programming for informatics class :( .


    But, I still want the log of what you've talked on mIRC that day... Like you sent it on some members' e-mail, you can send it to me as well... I won't give it to National Television, I promice ;) .
