O rlly ? Seems being a rebel wasn't so hard afterall...
In your post I see 2 BMGs machinery posted by Schokwave before, and Foods I only spoke about the BMG ones... not all you tested.

i listed 4 items:
Station Blueprints BMG
Terraforming Gasses, Food Rations, Construction Machinery Non-BMG

So...1 out of 4 is hardly a majority.

My point still stands.

Being unable to purchase ANY commodities regardless of whether or not it's a BMG is an issue (Which op addressed and stated would most likely be fixed at server restart)

How was your comment constructive in any way?

No BMGs for ya guys... all got bugged

in case you hadn't read my post...the majority of the items i tested were NOT BMGs.

and...thanks op for the heads up.

i just finished installing Starlancer (after having been told by many many CF players to give it a shot...)
so i'll probably be on that until server reboot.

I got kicked buying Terraforming gasses from Planet Holstein.
I got kicked buying Station Blueprints from Brushcal Base.

Both in Frankfurt.

I'm going to try once or twice to try to undock with an item...then i'm going to go play something else.

Edit: Add Construction Machinery from Holstein to the "it kicks me" list.
2nd Edit: I can undock just fine if i don't purchase anything. Add Food Rations to the list of things that kick you. (Planet Holstein) again.

I was going to try to make some money to fund my adventures, but if that's impossible, so are adventures.

Don't get me wrong...i'm not complaining, i'm just pointing out what isn't working. I love crossfire and would play it in my sleep if i could.

well...i can't think of a fix...but now's the perfect time for a trade monopoly...hehe

try knocking on the doors of the bases and see if anyone comes out to play?

invite the NPC's back from Tau-23 and see if they want to help you "repopulate" the universe?

(i know i know...if you can't be helpful, why'd you post at all, Z?)

perhaps laughter is the best medicine, and if your comp hears you get a chuckle out of this post, perhaps it will resolve the issue?

longshot.

good luck

if you haven't deleted them yet...

Make a new folder (on your desktop or somewhere else where you can find it easily) give it a name like: "Crossfire Backup Saves"

Then go to your documents folder, open the my games folder, open the freelancer folder, open the Accts folder, open the single player folder...

and you'll see all of your current save files. (they'll have random number/letter names "Save3c85.fl" etc...)

copy these to your backup folder...

Then when you've reinstalled just copy them back to the original location: Documents\My Games\Freelancer\Accts\SinglePlayer

As long as you're running the same version of Crossfire and not some different mod, you'll be able to use them all without problems.

Also...if you're playing MP you should use the "Start Menu, Microsoft Games, Freelancer, Examine my account id"
to save your mp id number so you can keep all of your mp characters after the reinstall.

If you don't have (or don't care about) your mp accounts...you can skip this part since it's not necessary to simply make backups of your saved games.

hope this helps.

Step one:

Map every station.

Step two:

Carry one of every item.

Step three:

Find the shortest route with the best profit.

it's called making an effort.

don't beg.

for instance....Station Blueprints can be bought at... ***(Transmission Failed)***

and sold at ***(Transmission Failed)***

guess you'll just have to get out there and find your own best route.

i'm not one hundred percent positive...but i've been told by many that docking larger ships (destroyers, gunboats, trains, battleships, cruisers) is impossible.

i know in other mods that you CAN...but this is CF.

-Z

i lol'd.

the destroyer can not dock except with planets with mooring fixtures.
you CAN carry the weapons on a VHF...you just need to have enough cargo space for them...or unequip them and trade them to someone with a large cargo hold.

The Prison in Manchester IS dockable...there's a path through the mines. (just follow the beacons) when you're close enough...you'll see it.

Also:

I think that's all of 'em...

i'd ask them for their hall passes.

In the last section of the Equipment Dealer in ALL (as far as i know) there are no scanners, tractor beams available in ANY of the Coalition bases.
It's been that way for as long as i've been playing the mod.

Only Bots/Bats in the last section.

Only Coaly ammo and CMs available in the other section.

You should still have weapons, ships, commodities working.

Coaly bases just don't sell scanners or tractor beams. (i assume Op figured anyone that made it out there already had a scanner and tractor beam from when they were in Sirius)

it's not a bug it's a "feature"

When you play single player, are you letting the launcher fully update before you try to play?

other threads have recently addressed this.

the server wasn't letting me (and many others) connect as recently as ten minutes ago.

i just retried and was able to connect without a problem.

5 or 6 people on.

give it another shot and see if it's working.

seems to be working fine for me now.

at the time of my last post in this thread it just hung there when i tried to log in...

now it's working fine to log in.

i don't care who was hard to kill or easy to kill...

i had fun.

thanks to everyone involved.

i look forward to more fun in the future.

pew pew pew!

Ditto. Server list shows 0 online every time I try to log in.

I suppose OP is taking a look.. I'm sure he will update us when he has time. Until then, hang in there and be patient M8s

ditto.

able to launch launcher and download updates.
server lists 0/128 active users.

logging in just hangs.

35 minutes now...

but i've been drinking...so i'm not sure how well i'll be dogfighting.

if your faithful guard dog bites your new best friend when they come to visit...
you yell at the dog, and convince them (sometimes by blowing their ship out of the sky) that this new person has proven their loyalty.
(killed enough ancients to make the DKs love you)

as far as the coalition is concerned...i highly doubt they have bothered to head all the way to Dervon and kill ancients. they seem to stick pretty much to coaly space.

Op stated in another thread that everything should be back at next server restart.
ie: in about an hour from this post.

(too lazy to cross-thread quote)

but things should be back to normal after server restart....
