I think its a good ideia if:
- cops can have nice legal ways to make money like selling criminal pods, good mining routes and legal routes like old prisioners runs.
- mercs have the disavantage becouse there is a few bounty hunters bases in vannila and their rep should be neutral at least with all factions. So i dunno how they should make money... legal or illegal based on reputation could be difficult
- pirates could have some illegal routes like cardemine and some BMGs
- smugglers should have the best profit routes and the bigger cargo ships.all factions should have at least one good ship with the same stats (but diferent designs) to avoid the best ship of the game is on "cops/mercs/pirates"
Mining should have good routes for each licence factions and not exclusive to trade factions
we must not forget asf/csf since we have all kinds of roleplay on both factionsgrr this must be a hell of a work to put all things to work... if i have any more ideias i will post later on

Hi Raven.
Let's make things clear - I`m not complaining, I`m just sharing my opinion...
Same as me m8. But many players share your pov. And my reply was for all people who read this forum.
we have to live with what we have... that imo is very balanced.Quote
I`ve never said that people should start using guns only. And it doesn't really matter if the missles are tracking or not, it's all down to the skills. Even if your opponent launches his missles perfectly, one button pressed in the right time can take him down.Also, I`ve never said that I`m not respecting the choice of the rest to play with tons of missles, but I don't respect people who quit the fights with the complaint that "missles are not tracking", well learn to play with guns damn it.
Well its surely sad but it happens often. at this i agree 100% with you .
Most of us know if many players in the same system fighting (mass batles) using missiles and mines it will be impossible to have missiles tracking. This is already a classic discussion and wasting missiles is wasting money too.
So lets play the game and have fun like we did yesterday -
i am glad to see old veterans returning to CF, but you guys need to realize many things have changed.
we also have to "adapt" to the new changes
First of all most players use the same setup as 1.7. (3 missiles and 3 guns). some players use 4 guns 2 missiles and some simply use 6 guns.
all this configurations have their pros and cons.
If missiles dont track more guns are usefull
When missiles tracks, gunners have more troubles to kill but that also depends on your skills.So things are a balance and everyone has the right to choose what to use. the "old school" "only guns" "too many missiles spam" etc etc.. remenber me the old days that i dont miss that much...
Imo things are very balanced. all players have an oportunity to choose and others have to respect theirs choices and not complain "like the old times"
just my 2 cents

Raven, you have misunderstood me. Read again. There is ABSOLUTELY NO difference in how the ship handles when you change FOV or resolution and you DON'T see more with resolution change. I play on 5:4 display, which is incompatible with standard resolutions - if I run game in 1024x768, then I get lowered performance (don't even now how this is possible) and game looks like s***. If you want to see game how I see it, go to the last IC Expedition thread and check out my screenshots. And if I run game in 1024x768 - without change to FOV I will get THE SAME IMAGE like in 1280x1024, just STRETCHED to lower res - fat ships, eggy planets, elipsal trade lanes. Think.
Do all players in this mod know? I don't know if everyone is reading this forum, but the issue was open MUCH longer than I play FLCF, because everyone, who had widescreen display might have applied this solution without even knowing that it is giving that advantage. If I haven't talked with Tensing about him being accused and if I haven't known about FOV uses in FPS games, then you wouldn't even know that there is an issue and what is even funnier, users with widescreens who applied this solution wouldn't know that they have advantage neither.
Btw.: this solution was available here, on SWAT forum:
font/resolution problemo
http://www.swat-portal.com/php…hreadid=11069&boardid=216
Nobody was even thinking about cheating until I tested that with Tensing.Btw2.: I don't get it. You have played UT on FOV120 and here you call people cheaters because of this? I agree with Bond. Paranoia strikes hard these days.
Btw3.: I am playing with FOV 70.
Arrow: nice to hear that. I hope that gun turn problem will be adressed too, because I fear that even if resolutions will be handled by separate library, the wider resolutions will still have the advantage of guns turning farther because of the code bug that links their side range with on-screen visible space. Side range should really be locked to fixed angle. (And of course best dogfighting solution was in Freespace, where guns were mounted in fixed, forward only position and you had to turn whole ship to target anything, but that's just my inner FS-fanboi speaking...)
m8 in UT all players used fov. there was even a system command to change it...no needed to change ini values. Most servers had protection and i never saw a player being kicked becouse of fov.
call it what you want but if you have a high wide screen u can use more eficient your guns. About the turning i really cant say becouse i didnt test it.
what i see in game is some players with such good aim even in the midle of a fast turning, and a much short angle using reverse. -
LOL. Change FOV to 120, check how fast do you turn. No difference in ship handling.
But change res to 640x480 and see if you are turning slower. Same thinking.So this is a "speed hack" the res and FOV really make diferences
You have more visible screen to use your guns "aim advantage"if this is not cheat or exploit or whatever you wanna call... What is?
So i make a fresh install of CF and u make a tweak on fov and resolution... who has the advantage?
Does all players in this mod know this feature?Ive witness some players being banned and acused for much less
-
lol how touchy dude...just before few days u was n00b here (ur words) than u become missile expert in few days, now u are gunner expert.What is next.
And u know timing is fucking important thing and i pay attention what and when u said.Just to let you know, before few days you was naive as French maid (this is saying here) and at every question ur answer was: "Idk why and idk what happening here^^"Other then this, good post ...>_>
Guys this was TOP secret here, along with few others
i wonder how powerful i will become one day...
Ehehehe u just take the word from my mouth... now i wonder what will come next?
I played UT for a couple years and i also use the fov at 120 but i never dream it would de possible to do in FL.
the things that we learn -
Is this a hack or an exploit done without any separate application like subtargetting exploit? If it's an exploit (vel 'technique' like some exploit abusers call it in online gaming before it's a bannable offense), then let everybody know how to do it and it will render any usage of missiles totally useless, what some of the players here desire.
Quite nice solution. Not that good for me, as I am horrible with guns
After reading the last 2 post you have written i hope not to hear from you again "i am new and a noob here", becouse you seem to know many things for a noob
I have witness that trick, and i seen more and more people using it in the last days. Its a move not easy to perform but with good results... damm need to learn it
I gotta say it took me many time/experience/money to learn how to survive and fight in CF. What i cant figure is how mediocre fighters become so good fighters in few days.... does anyone found Panoramix stregth potion? -
Hello imtae,
Maybe will be good also add for you, that this COMPLETELY spoil you fun in CF. I know what I say because well remember how I tried without spoilers follow extended CF story line. With use hints in PX wiki is most of this fun simply lost. Here is enough ppl who can give you hints when you cannot found next step.
CF story can be found on server page (here).
Or all info on ModDB (here)
So Mr IKnowAll did u ever checked our wiki? Tell me where did u find:
-Tips for Cf story missions:
- Whats the best ship
- where are wrecks
- how you become an ace in pvp
- how to kill IC aliens
- the best routesSo we give a map the stations and where they can get the equipment and all the fun is spoiled... Crossfire is much more then the content of a wiki... at least we share some knowlegde... we dont keep a private wiki
if you dont like it i respect your opinion but not all think the same as you so at least respect others opinions too OK.

Pm send

with all pleasure faaby.
i still dunno for sure but tomorrow maybe 23:00 server time i will be online -
Raven, you don't need an LRK. Us USA players need that. You think 105.0.5 is lag? Give me a break.... I always play with a bare minimum of 180.0.5 and usually 225.0.10 so I don't wanna hear that you're lagging.....
As to my wish... Not having to rebuy all our capital ships when 1.9 comes out! I know this probably won't happen but I can dream, can't I?
then maybe i need to stop fighting USA guys... but i cant do that... i would lose all my fun
-
Max me and Dino agree to fight tomorrow (saturday 5.4.11) at 13h server time.
-
100 ping is lag for you ? you mean i should have killed myself when i have 700 -1000 during PvPs ?
100ms is a blink of an eye and should barely be visible to the eye....
combine that with a fluct of 5 and u may understand... against a 30.0.0 guy
-
Arrow i know LRK is planned.
When i play at late hours (1.00 am to 6 am server time) i dont have many problem with my ping... generaly 40.0.0 to 70.0.0.
When i play at day i have 80.0.2 to 105.0.5Good ping at the first hour when server reboots and at late night (where usually there are less then 30 players online.
Bad ping at day with usually more then 30 players and when server does not restart for hours, mass batles in one system
I know several players already complain about this but see missiles fired more than 1 second after u pressed the key (slower than a torp) is not fun at all.
Resolution: use only guns VHF or BS... again no fun...I wished i could help but i dont understand nothing about this type of programing language ... even so i am available to help in game if needed.
I think we all need to help instead saying i would like this and like that... -
After all changes OP already mentioned...
Just wish a lag reduction kit. -
I thought twice before writing this post.
Spiky i personaly never had nothing against you, altought i am aware of all things that happened between you and PX in the past. And at least u never hide what u felt about us... even on your goodbye.
About you leaving CF, its a great loss for this community since you are one of the few "active cops" that realy bring RP to the game.Good luck with your future projects. After all its just a game and here there aren t winners or losers at the end of the day.
