Special request(s) for 3.4, etc.

    great game MD. im playing it online everyday adn the servers were i play on crash brutaly somethimes. i know about the capship adn being in EFA kills the server to bu that depends on the sever. and another thing. is there a way that the niobium on earth could be fixed? its really hard to not make frofit on the run back with lightarms... these are my 2cents and i hope you enjoy them. jopo

    I wouls like 2 see all the strange ships on trenton/newark/westpoint change out to smothing that the players will actually flu What about the bonus !!!! oh juni

    Actually, I think those ships models are pretty cool... well detailed compared to others I have seen. The problem in servers is that everyone wants to drive a ~hot rod~, which doesn´t create the most realistic gameplay experience. Nobody flies these ships because they´re not armed and armoured enough to be competent against anything sold outside of Liberty, and yet they can´t carry enough to make long distance trading worthwhile. Even so, however, they´re decent for they´re price tags and I, amongst these, am particular fond of the freighter and light fighter (a.k.a., inter-gallactic egg beater) sold on Newark. I haven´t personally bought any of the nifty homeworld ships on Trenton, yet... but they don´t seem to be bad either. Online, the problem is to find people who actually ~enjoy~ playing the mediocre, anonymous corporate cargo pusher/miner/escort pilot/scrap collecter. Yet, having a lot of players filling these roles would add alot to the gameplay experience. The problem is, almost everyone who plays MP wants to think of themselves as the supreme fighter ace of the galaxy... so it is no wonder that player controlled, mid-level ships are few in number. You need not ~like~ me... you need only FEAR and RESPECT me!!!

    Good call Gladius! but.. hmm.. people in those average corporate ships are very easy targets for those champion pilots of the universe to prove the brute force of thier ship by randomly choosing such averge and not so ultimate ships as target practice for there state of the art ultimate super duper guns that kill in one hit (i know it always takes 2) just to prove there strength and further fortify there massive egos. So.. who wants to be a target..? Who wants to be the champion..? Ya it makes sence I geuss... lol! But true that if there were less of that it may actually increase the experience somewhat.. As it is, you cant duel with anyone. Why? Because everyone is trying to trade with these cheap routes and get as much money as fast as possible to buy this Leviathen or Sabre or whatever it is that floats there boat. Then what do we get? A universe filled with capships and ultimate pilots where no one fights anyone or anything. At this point they start a new character and do it all over again so they can have more Ultimate characters. lol! Sometimes I wish all trading could just be ommited! But thats only because I long for the battlefield and the thrill of the hunt! That wouldnt be fair to the common docile attitude of most players who think your ann asshole if you shoot at them. Sigh. Have I gotten off subject? Anyways, hey MD, can you please get rid of that stupid trade from Jupiter base to Earth with light arms. Thats entirely gay and ruins the point of earning anything. Nobody earns anything it seems they just fly back and forth for a few hours and VIOLA! They get a Leviathan for all thier so called hard work! I mean atleast the trade to New tokyo was more than a 40k trip or even the engine components to mactan took more time and required work to get freindly with them. But jesus now theres no work involved at all. And do you think after they get these Leviathans they want to duel eachother? hell no they just wanna go bully liberty till they get bored, then move on to a new character. It spoils the point of MP cause the only interaction from player to player is to give away some of there massive fortune to look cool to new players which they did not even earn accordingly! I propose that the ease of trading should be decreased and I hop someone can agree with me here. Even using EFA as a shortcut for trades makes it extremely easy compared to that in unmodded freelancer. There must be a way to make people earn money again.. I think people will get bored to quickly if they just spend a few hours doing the same 2 way trade path and then are maxed out. Just suggestion. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Chibi
