    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 factions


    grr 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.

    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 :D

    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 :D



    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



    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 :bveryevilplan:

    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 :bglad:
    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 :bfantasydreams:
    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?


    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 routes



    So 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 :bevilplan:
    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 :bgotcha: .

    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..... :P


    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 :D

    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 105.0.5


    Good 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...

    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.
