WOW

The city scape are AWFULL.
Like esp. the "MATTE_FINAL_NIGHT". ... and the blade runner one

With the others.... a bit the same as on the first you posted... work for the modelers

Quote from Caballero

Anyway, i prefer to use torpedos instead of CD. "Starkiller" is only way to kill NPC quickly - i found that in Crossfore mod all missions are much more hard to complete than in standart FL NPC became dangerous!

Uuhh ! to kill these fighter NPC with torpedo ... only in kinda "Stuka"-fashion

And "dangerous" ? To put it mildly, if you're "trained only" on vanilla (standard) FL, then there are NPC out there, that will RIP YOU APART in no time
...beside some real human pilots on pvp

ENJOY

Unfortunatly.... you will have to build up a new character from scratch, if you want another name in-game.

The people with the authority, you mentioned are also the dev team (mostly ? all ?) and therefor PLASTERED with other, for the community much more important important AND wanted work.
(patiently awaiting Crossfire 2.0)

If what you requested would be done, it would open up a/the DELUGE of similar requests.

Also it could be abused to avoid roleplay. Not that I think, that you intend this, but it's something to keep in mind.

And - last but not least - you could loose your reputation, what ever kind of reputation you've build so far within the COMMUNITY (who have you killed a dozen times, what events have you mastered, who's lamb of sacrifice have you already been ).

Take it as a chance to have all the fun again .
BTW, you can have up to 5 different characters on your account.

. HAPPY B-DAY RIFTY .

May you enjoy your ever recurrent day of respawning here on earth
from what ever dimension you have been released to bring us the JOY
of playing, killing, respawning, eventing, .... you know, just
FUN with you arund.

@ Rexor

Your screen looks AWSOME, m8.

I second Huor: could be a great planetside background, but ... why eliminating anything ? Why not adding ?

The ballony things could be seen as something specific to this planet and its culture, so nothing to be done on them.
Most of the ships/planes flying around are so small and "unspecific" in there appearence, ... I would say also needed
to be done on them. The one right to the middle reminds me a bit of the A-100 Light Fighter.

That leaves the ship on the right side. Here comes the "adding" part.
Erhmmm.... Vishnu ? Are you around ? Couldn't that be a nice idea for a new ... perhaps gunboat ???

Nice idea !
... and if limited to "party", "explore 'system'/'sector' ", "pvp"
it would keep the danger of "universe wide" chat to nearly nil.

Does anybody wanna have my "golden ticket" ? That, as it looks like I have to plate it with the stuff by myself.

Beside having to pay 10.000 bucks for getting the full game, it looks I would need about the same amount
for getting a new pc, since Chris Roberts seems to plan NOT on todays highend-pc, but onthese thingies, how
they might be built in 3-4 years time ! ( I don't believe he will get anything released earlier, if ever. He will NEVER get that amount of money.)
PLUS what might you have to pay for all these "micro-updates" ?

And what will it be ? A visually beefed up Wing Commander in a EVE-online-universe.
Doesn't really sounds new in concept.

PUUUAH ! Then I don't have to bother too much about MY set-up.

Today at about 11:00 GMT +/- 15 min. (server time) my efforts to connect to the portal OR the game server were frustrane.
I had no problems to connect to other websites, only SWAT and Crossfire were affacted.
Happily now everything runs smoothly again.

Did anybody else experienced something alike today ?

I just ask, if I might have a problem on my machine or if there was soemthing more general.

But even with such a fleet ... as Andy said: a BIG real time/real life commitment necessary.

Most likely not. But without it, you wouldn't be let in.

.... and the flight ticket and hotel reservation you made for Austin/Texas would be a total loss.

Sorry about that.

Sorry, that I didn't make it yerterday.

I had to leave in a hurry due to an unexpected emergency call on duty (RL sometimes SUCK)

Hope you had fun without me.
And thanks for kickin' my butt before.

So:

Best way to conduct in such a situation:
Not eventing with bounty on my head .

Right ??

edit: in italics added.
Sorry, if I didn't put that clear on first posting it. I din't want to implicate a strikt rule on that.
Just asked for the best way to behave on all eventually involved parties.

ROFL

Ships informational bulletin, 3rd issue
Very Heavy Fighter, Part 1

preface:
Dear subscibers to the Independant Sirius Informaton Services
We have to apologize for the long time of absence of our bulletin, but obviously we gained some unwanted attention. Shortly after the release of our 2nd issue our offices in several sectors
have been ransacked. Ship and equipment dealers, Shipmechanical workshops formerly openminded and helping shut their doors in front of us, murmering about "official objections".
Some of our most active contributors have vanished for unknown reason and of unknown remain.
Therefore we rendered it necessary to seek some new, safer and more openminded accomadation. It is our pleasure to especially thank the IOC, this defenders of open exchange and
free, unlimeted trade, for conducting some profitable bargain with us, that enabled us to find and set up a new home. In doing so we gathered access to the above mentioned regions of space.
Me might be able to offer you more information on that in the future.
The exploration of these new realms of obviously bristling live but also gave us the means of proceeding in the deciphering of the date we agined so far. When we received the data package
concerning the Very Heavy Fighter class, we were astonished about its size. Our first thoughts were about some encrypting method using "garbish data". But the opposite is true.
Due to the own discovery of some ancient database in the new systems, partially dating back even before our historical retreat to the Sirius sector, we hade a kind of "rosetta stone" at hands
to finally crack the TRAF reports.
Therefor it seems, that the class of VHF is the most demanded one. Not a sign a peacefull civilisation, our ancestors planned to set up in our new home.

Due to this vastness of information we decided to split this 3rd issue into several part for not letting you wait until we could provide you with the data on all ships listed in this reports.
In this first part of the 3rd issue of our bulletin we pack all the information we gained concerning the rebuilt ancient space vessels of alliance and coalition origin. For better reading and comparision
we repeat the data on the well known ships of this class.

End of 3rd issue , part 1

Just to get some easy to understand answers for a dumbass on RP like me.

What comes first, means: rule over the other:
Role Play over Event ?
or
Event over Role Play ?

Situation 1:
I'm in Arena, awaiting EM and other participants for an event, but have a bounty on my head. (should-be code-of-conduct: when arriving on server, check the bounties ! [console command: /bounty ...enter])
Then a bounty hunter shows up calling me for comming out for Role Play.
What shall I do ?

Situation 2:
I'm in Arena, participating an event, but have a bounty on my head.
Then a bounty hunter shows up calling me for comming out for Role Play.
What shall I do ?

Situation 3:
I'm in Arena, participating an event, but have a bounty on my head.
Another participant, who - by chance - has a merc license mounted, kills me and gets the bounty paid.
Will the participant keep the bounty ?
Do I have to pay for another bounty to be placed on my head for continuing RP AFTER the event ?
What about pvp conducted on "friendly terms" (i.e on clan training or similar) ?

Sry for being such a pain in the ass with such questions.

Nice idea, imo.

Would make it interesting to see/do a fight between a LF with 4 or 5 class 10 guns and CD's
against a VHF in one of the "well know" setups.

Armor against agility !

GOOD answer, Shockwave !
