  • ping rate

    My traceroutes have shown the same thing. My ping is 36ms until it gets to Germany, starts to increase until it is 184 near the server area.

  • clan ship

    Sorry but each clan base will have the same three ships. There is no custom design or building of ships to create unique ships other than the ones that were done a part of the 2.0 mod when there were added over 50 new ships that were new to the game or replaced older ships that weren't used that much. The redemption being one of those where the old model was replaced with a newer one. hth

  • clan ship

    The clan bases have a ship dealer that has three ships available. They are the same ships for all clans. No there was no custom designed ship unique to each clan. The three ships are the Dragonfly, the Antares Freighter and a bomber.


    No, raliguns are not mountable on any ship except the ships that come with them, and in MP those are the ship the GR's fly and not available to other players.

  • Question about "updates"

    Hello, Welcome! To your first question, it is never a good idea to stop the launcher from updating. Let it complete and then shut down if need to. The MP portion is a Role Playing universe based around the FL story-line after the conclusion of "The Final Stand". It is recommended you play the Single Player version first as that will introduce you to the characters, factions and take you through the entire universe that is Crossfire. This will allow you to get up to speed faster when you start playing the Multiplayer version. In MP version, you open the launcher, select the MP version, wait for the updates to complete and the first time you do this after install there will be a lot of them to complete. Let it finish. Once that is done the game will start and once you step through the beginning portion you will be presented your account number (make a note of it right then) and then enter your first character name and follow the prompts. You will be issued your first ship and 150,000 to outfit it and get started playing the game. There is no "lobby" or "waiting for a match". This website has a great number of articles, pictures and how-to's in the various forums and Wiki sections, and FAQ's to help you get started, not to mention the many players that are both in game and online to answer questions or point you in the right direction. Enjoy!

  • What browser(s) are you using?

    Hmmm....interesting. I have been using FF since......too far back to remember :D I haven't had any issues that weren't caused by a Win 10 update until just recently and of course there was also a Win 10 update at the same time. The Latest Win 10 Creator update added stuff I don't want or need. A day later there was an update to FF and I keep getting an error msg saying I have to do the updating process manually, but when I try that it is showing there is no update. Not having any operational issues so now that I got the Win 10 issues cleared up, I am leaving it alone for now.


    Its been awhile so I figured this could use an update! I finally got fed up with the continuing Win 10 updates that kept making a mess of things. I wanted to move to Win 11 but first I had to make a major upgrade to the PC. So, a new CPU, Motherboard, new 16 GB memory(expandable to 128GB), and a new GPU (details later). Once that was completed, up loaded Win 11 and started reinstalling all my programs as I moved that all to backup and wiped the HD and SSD. SSD is now the primary drive for the OS and programs and all data is stored on the HDD with a simo copy sent to the stand alone 2 TB drive.


    So, back to the main theme, I am still running Firefox and after getting everything reinstalled and set up I am not having any issues with it. I will have to get a newer version of MS Office as the one I have now works OK but the Outlook doesn't want to play nice so I am using Thunderbird for now. I have access to Office 2016 version that I will install. Reason being that it is the last version that still has Outlook in it and works with Win 11. An newer Office version no longer has Outlook. Yes, I am set in my ways and at 74 I get to do that! :thumbsup:
