Yeah, I just need ed to get a bit friendlier to the faction and the bases turned green too.......

I've gotten into a situation where two faction bases are still hostile to me even thought factions themselves are neutral or friendly. My character name is Billy Mitchell and the Bases in question are Kyoto and Bruschal. The Dragons are friendly and the Bunchu are neutral to me yet their bases are hostile.

I've never seen bases remain hostile like this.......

Thanks,
Rich (Billy)

Well, I couldn't stay away long......

The server is working terrific now. If I can only remember where I got that power generator and shield upgrade I'll be just about back to what I lost...

Good day!

I read that just moments ago. I'm glad to get back half of what I'd acquired but I think I'm going to spend a bit less time here till things settle down further. Life is frustrating enough without leisure time frustrating you too.

In any case,

Thanks to all who are working on this, I'll be back later.

My character went from level 71 with 100,000,000 in the bank and in the middle of the second quest in SOL to a Sigma 13 and 48,000,000 in the bank. Any ideas? The character name is Billy Mitchell and it seems I've lost a weeks worth of game play somewhere........

Muchas Gracias!

After you get to earth for this quest, can you sell the data disk without losing your way?

Thanks again,

I'm in SOL and planning to brave Altair again. This time in an APC with MKII molecular sheilds and a class 7 shield generator.

I hope it goes better than last time.......

Just a heads up folks, there are now in CF1.8, MKII level 10 molecular(Adv. Barrier) and positron(Adv. Brigandine) shields around the Sirius sector, with specs roughly comparable to the lvl 10 graviton(Adv. Champion) shield found in Hiruga.(courtesy of the SMG of course)

So anyone who asks, so what, why the new shields to even things up?

Well, here's how the original Freelancer shield - weapon circle works:

Graviton protects best against Laser, Photon and Pulse projectiles, worst against Particle and Plasma projectiles.

Positron protects best against Neutron and Tachyon projectiles, worst against against Laser, Photon and Pulse projectiles.

Molecular protects best against Particle and Plasma projectiles, worst against Neutron and Tachyon projectiles.

Thanks to you and everyone for the info. I did find the markII version shields in a couple of systems.

Now my question is what the heck kind of guns are the DK's using? Plasma?

Any more details?????

I barely made it out of Sovetskya alive using a Haidar and class 9 graviton shields......

What combination of ship and shields will allow one to survive contact with more than one Dom Kavash fighter/bomber/gunboat/whatever?

I've played FL forever and CF1.7 and 1.8 a bit but can't get around even Vortuka muchless an actual DK system.

McAfee virus protection will not work with CF 1.8 at present. It will claim to find an "Artemis Trojan" and remove it causing Free Lancer not to load at all. My solution was to ditch McAfee altogether and run Microsoft Security Essentials which causes no problem with "false positives" McAfee is aware they've got issues but offers NO WAY TO FIX THIS other than to send them the rogram and wait for 4-6 weeks.........

At first contact everyone kept calling them those "Damn Kavash." War was inevitable......

If I recall correctly, there is a firefly transport in the discovery mod but I don't believe there is one in CF. In my opinion, it is a crime against humanity that Firefly the TV program was cancelled by FOX years ago.......

Well I got to play for a few minutes today.....

I may just punt the multiplayer for a while and do a little single player......

Millions for defense but not one penny for tribute!

(dang pirates!)

Down again........

Better to be down than to get the "red lag" of death with a belly full of pirates bound for prison in any case.

You talked me into it! Especially since MSE is free and Window XP has a firewall built in. I killed McAfee and loaded MSE and no muss, no fuss, I'm good to go. No warnings or other carp when I loaded Crossfire. I'm in there! Thanks, Rich

I've got Mcafee till April then I'll switch to Norton or some such and hopefully I'll see you all then.....

Mcafee is the Chrysler of virus software......useless......

Hey Burro,

We had a good battle a year or so back. I was looking forward to 1.8 for just this sort of reason!

Is there anyway to designate a file as "trusted" under McAfee? That would solve this BS. There's a trusted list but no way of adding something to it that I can find.....

Be Good,
Rich
