  • CF 2.0 SP feedback

    THX for your input and open minded comments :)


    Quote from Mister No

    Campaign is not well balanced imo.

    That's something ALWAYS very difficult and from what was heard during development (even of "older" version) there were many adjustments - mainly in downgrading difficulty of Missions (due to player requests). So, ... in the end : there are some really hard missions, some easy peasy missions and some missions seemingly hard - until you know the "trick" what has to be done (not always the solution is killing ;) ).


    Sol System is ... VAAST and meant to be filled by eventually player missions, when the feature of creating and adding own "campaigns" will be activated.


    Boring DK systems ... well then you might have found the "easy" way to go through there, you can also "pop it up" by your own behavior (take the gunboats on as the first one i.e. ;) ).


    The "End Game", well, yes ccompared to what you have been through until then - easy, but from what I heard the aforementioned "downgrading" took also place in this one.


    Take it as "story ending tale" to be more or less passiyly enjoyed like a movie.

    It's up to you and your friends to change this :D


    Quote from Mister No

    ...could merge CF with Discovery...

    No heresy ^^ ... beside the technical impossibilty, both mods feature and service quite different kinds and tastes of gameplay, maybe the most important : CF is MUCH MORE (not to say almost entirely) centered around fightercrafts, where Discovery pleases much more the taste for Capital ships and those you love to fly and fight with them.

  • Armor Upgrade

    "Thruster" funktionieren in jeder Lebenslage :) , im "Normal-Modus" genauso wie in "Engine Kill". Manchmal hilft es auch mit den thrustern zu "stottern" um gegnerische Treffer zu vermeiden.


    "EK" (default key : Z) läßt dich einfach "treiben" und zwar in der Richtung, in der du das letzte mal "Schub" gegeben hast - normal oder mit Thruster. Das nennt man "Massenträgheit", funktioniert besonders gut im Weltall ;) .
    Wenn du in EK bist kannst du dein Schiff mit der Maus in jede beliebige Richtung drehen und "treibst" trotzdem noch in der gleichen Richtung weiter. Wenn du dann - in neuer Ausrichtung - wieder "thrusterst" gehts genauso in der neuen Richtung weiter, nach "loslassen" des Thrusters (default key : tab) eben auch genauso "träge".


    "Strafing" heißt dein Schiff seitlich zu bewegen und nicht nur mehr der Nase lang. Funktioniert ebenfalls in jeder Lebens- und Antriebslage ^^ . Das is in jeden Schiff "von Natur aus" so eingebaut. Geht in den Richtungen "links" (default key : A), rechts (default key : D) sowie hoch und runter (die mußt du selbst belegen, da nicht "vanilla" ^^ ).
    - hilft z.B. den Kurvenradius zu verringern
    - hilft beim Ausweichen von Asteroiden
    - hilft GROSSE Schiffe "in Position" zu schubsen, z.B. zum Docken
    - hilft beim "Hovis-Rennen" auch mit "lahmen Enten" die Ringe richtig zu passieren und trotzdem zu gewinnen :D


    Und das Schöne daran ist das ... alle diese Bewegungsarten miteinander kombiniert werden können.
    Also :
    EK, strafe li. re. hoch runter in Kreisen Spiralen Zickzack mit Thruster-Stottern un die Zielcomps deiner Gegner kriegen (fast) nen Kurzschluß. :D


    Hoffe das hilft ;)

  • Update every time before starting SP

    These 11 files you refer too are not "really" updates in a way.
    They are changes to the files you have downloaded and installed, which are - due to still :beta: status - "checked" everytime NOT installed permanently on your computer.


    Therefor, if you don't want, you don't have to :) . On starting the launcher you can choose, if these "updates" are done or not. They are not absolutly necessary ... for SINGLE PLAY ;)

    grrrr, ... again you were faster, Martind :D

  • Server issues

    for everyone interested :


    the daily "BIG" restart seems to have done the trick :)


    Edit by
    nucnuc
    however, there are still - esp. after switching chars, without a "full restart" - some ... delays with a more or less brief appearence of the "... taking longer than expected ..." message (just to say)

  • What are you listening to right now?

    In tribute to Martinds new siggy :


    as well as


    (gotcha there ... :D )

    sry, if it doesn't "show up" as the others ... my first one ever :blush: 

  • Crossfire Keeps Crashing at launch screen

    TNT, your prob is (most likely) due to some "works" of your security, AV/Firewall security suite as well as "windows" UserAccountControl.
    Setting up security suite (already for the downloaded contend eventually) have a look at FAQs, forth entry : How to configure Norton antivirus for Crossfire mod?
    ... just to give you an idea how it could be done, even if you dont have NORTON.


    Also, already some time ago there were some comments about : "Windows Visual C++ 2005 reditributable" (you might find that in the guide as well).


    ... and :did you get your hands on a"clean" Freelancer copy ?

  • Farewell

    Ouuhk, Ouuuohk, Ouhk.
    ... but some are more irreplacable than others. ...


    Ohk,
    sometimes the oktarine twists of magick, fate and the unfathomable needs and deeds of the Auditors of Reality just pushes you off the rimm of your world ... or better our, who became used to having you around, organizing the spread and shattered poliemen for hunts, being a "beacon" with your fights against pirates we could navigate at to join and fullfill our task and duty.


    Your excellence in skills, your expertise in knowledge, your experience of all the whereabouts and whosabouts will be missed. Well, I at least will definitly miss them, since all I know about my role in this universe - as well as all the others - I learned from you. ... and now the APEs might running loose. :D


    Crossfire space will become a much more dangerous place for freelancers without you.


    The radiating shine of law and order in this part of the multiverse has lost its brightest flame and we'll have to see, who picks up and raises the torch again.


    ... well, over the rimm doesn't mean out of the world. ... fortunatly.
    May the blind Io, Hoki the Jokester, and the Lady of Fate stay out of your way - even though they might get in trouble trying to hinder you in any way anyway - and let Hogfather, the Soul Cake Duck and - from time to time maybe esp. Bilious the god og Hangover - have an eye on you.
    ....
    just the best for you, your family - you and them will enjoy the "new" trasure of time to spend - and any task you get involved to, M8 :)

    and something out of role :
    forgot to mention : I always wondered how but mainly just admired the immense amount of time, the dedication and the heartblood as well as the nerves you sacrificed to the SWAT-portal, Crossfire, its play as well as development, and last but not least your clan. If you didn't had any before, I am sure a fair amount of your gray hairs are due to ... all of us.


    I can't tell you and probably don't even know, how much I have to thank you. :thankyou:


    For your successors in clan : I hope you have at least an idea of how big the boots are you have to step in (somewhere around 18 to 20, I would assume .... UK-size :D )
