  • Planet Houston, we have a problem here.

    If you need to reinstall its best to do it this way
    uninstall cf using flmm ,uninstall flmm, uninstal fl
    then check the folders its in and delete them, main fl folder and game save folder
    reboot,install fl,reboot
    install flmm,reboot,install cf and activate it in flmm,reboot
    always works for me

  • Meeting log 7th april 2010

    I had quite a few discussions about this yesterday with Rhone and 13th
    1 RP goes when trade goes away.
    2 If trade isnt of high enough value you cant hire escorts so mercs dont get work .After all Mercs are not just bounty hunters.



    I would like to have some valuable but dangerous routes ,which will require escorts to be hired .


    Heres an example
    A Hauler has a valuable commoditity (not a container) to ship which will get a profit of say 30 mill but its a very long journey and the pirates are sure to be after him.He hires 3 mercs for 5 mill each they must stay with him all the way ,no switching chars .(im certain that freelancer mercs would be prepared to be hired not just the clan mercs)
    Pirates then want the cargo or tax ,they can even have a hauler hidden to recover cargo if they wish.


    Also dont forget that anyone can hire mercs .


    Police are obviously going to be after the pirates


    Im sure either the commodity or place of it can be changed every week ,even if its done manually .It could change from legal to BMGs as well .


    This can involve everyone ,Traders,smugglers,mercs,pirates ,police ,freelancers et all.


    some of the best rp has happened when weve had valuable and long trade routes.


    Thanks to Rhone for the ideas:)

  • RP

    private stuff is dodgy
    I certainly support hiring mercs for defence and escort tho especially if there are dangerous trade routes to travel

  • Wing Commander Saga

    Its lookin good so far ,very impressed :)
    Important dont forget the campaign room ! theres 2 campaigns prologue and darkest dawn ,its worth playing prologue again for all the shiny new tweaks :)

  • Wing Commander Saga

    Gibbon it is not freeware as soon as any mod gets big/or money involved they will stop it ,for example The Babylon Project a babylon 5 mod was given a cease and desist notice because someone was selling the game on ebay ,it was a free game but some dick tried to cash in.(it was resolved )
    All ships their names the universe of star wars are copyrighted by lucas arts and once they they hear about something they get their lawyers out .They do get quite offended:(
    Id love to see someone mod SW ,still play the old games and they are modded to hell and work well.

  • Wing Commander Saga

    No chance of redoing any star wars stuff as lucas arts hold rights and will never part with them .
    Saga has been very lucky to accomplish what they have but it is in no way supported by the owners of the copyright ,if any1 ever tries to make a buck out of it then theyd come down on them like a ton of bricks .
    It took Sagas team nearly 10 yrs to make ,I cant imagine how hard it could be just for 1 person to even make a starlancer remake.

  • Starshatter goes open source

    Well thats the difference with big companies and sole creators ,starshatters creator was happy to let it go open source and free to download ,big companies are only concerned with any possible revenue that can be extracted from something :(
