  • Chips asking for your aid and advise

    3 things: 1. Anubis bomber also not in 1.28, is that a game balance issue? 2. WTF can´t cap ships have CM droppers? Just cuz they are too slow? How about a cap-ship version that launches coutermeasures faster rather than just drop? 3. When are the forums returning? <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

  • what´s the ugliest ship

    For fighters the Crusader and Cavalier look like fish I´d throw back. Yuck. In Freighters the Drone looks like a fat fly with wings. But I think it´d look OK if ya cut off the wings, I usually cut the wings off my Drakes and then it´s the best lookin ship in the game. BTW there was a thread about this like 9mo ago. <font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>&quot;I like liberty rogues, they make a funny little popping sound when they die&quot; 10 points to whoever guess what I messed with for that <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE></font><font face=´trebuchet ms, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica´ size=2> That´s the flavor text from a Magic the Gathering card. It said Goblins originally. &quot;Got anything for me?&quot; - Trent, A.K.A. ´Mr. Eloquent´ Edited by - Frobozz on 12/17/2004 10:58:56 AM

  • Should I Buy FreeLancer?

    Yes. Join us in the addiction. Yes for FL on 56k too, I played that way for over a year. Do yourself a favor and finish the single player storyline before MP or mods. &quot;Got anything for me?&quot; - Trent, A.K.A. ´Mr. Eloquent´

  • other games like FL..???

    Tachyon: The Fringe was my fav til FL came along, it uses j0ysticks too! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The webv site for it is gone, it was a ´99 game. Maybe a serch may turn up the demo somewhere? A bit too old for bargain bins even, but ya never know I just picked up a Starlancer for $2 a little while ago. Maybe buy on Ebay? Trust me, if you like sticks AND Freelancer it´s worth searching for TTF. &quot;Got anything for me?&quot; - Trent, A.K.A. ´Mr. Eloquent´

  • Trade Route Calculator

    Thanks! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The PC that I tied it out on was the kid´s, he´s dialup only therefore no autoupdate... <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

  • Trade Route Calculator

    I guess that for Evolutions the Trade Calculator will remain pretty much useless until the Faction based dynamic reputation filter is done. All I get is Civilians as a trade item. (no rep check on them) Can´t you default it full good rep?? Edited by - Frobozz on 11/21/2004 10:01:14 AM

  • Lag = Mod?

    I played for almost a year on 56k, so I know it´s difficult but not impossible. Sort your servers by Ping after filtering out the ones locked or incompatible builds. Select the lowest ping that has some players on it, pay attenttion to news for rules. I used to play with like 300 to 500 ping, but this is only part of it. Some servers with exact same ping could give radically different lag when connected. Keep looking. Also, make sure to turn off anything which could impact your connection like AIM. Of course, seach for spyware and viruses too, and latest drivers, etc. etc.

  • [Onetelgaming.com + FLCD Again

    Well, I see FLCD still has no Windows 9x/ME version except for their 0.8.1 that only works on HC server. So everyone still 98SE is shut out. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

  • Freelancer at Work

    I also play, during my lunch hour. What I do is have FL on a lab PC (not on network) and have a 56k modem. My Yahoo DSL comes with a dialup account, but I´ve also used Netzero (free). If you can get your PC off your company network (at least temporary), you should be able to modem out.

  • for stable server - load SDK or 1.1 patch first?

    It can´rt hurt!! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> From the SDK description: &quot;Its purpose is to make things easier for mod makers to get started with projects without having to mess with bini. Also this release fixes a few million errors in the original files, these normally would not cause problems but it helps with the stability of your mod project.&quot; That last bit sounds good! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

  • @baked etc Mod testing

    TThanks! Actually, I´m not playing the blame game, but I think part of the reason this got through was it was submitted by an admin or one of her crew, and it was probably assumed that it was a benign mod considering it´s source. So not checked. Well, we all know the old joke/adage about assuming, right? @SS-(out of)-U-ME! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Great first step admitting a problem occurred, solution is obviously examine all mods regardless of origin. It was caught relatively quickly, we learned from the cloak episode. Actually, the whole premise of the mod was flawed. Don´t fight fire with fire. Don´t sink down to their level. Just point the class-99 ban gun and fire! If any admins want details about the characteristics of this mod to detect it, contact me or Earendil of the Boston server. I won´t give out crucial details of what we found openly. &quot;Got anything for me?&quot; - Trent, A.K.A. ´Mr. Eloquent´

  • server not connectable

    Make sure everyone has DirectX 9.0b The game will run SP on DX8, but you will see exactly the problem you describe. &quot;Got anything for me?&quot; - Trent, A.K.A. ´Mr. Eloquent´ Edited by - Frobozz on 5/3/2004 8:33:58 AM
