It was me who contacted the TFL server admin/operators. I wanted to know why the RSL Faction left the TFL server. I had already heard the RSL side of the story, in which they were the victimized faction, oppressed by the tyrranical admin (Raptor, I was compared to you, which I now consider a compliment), and forced to choose between their freedoms or abuse and vendetta. The story I got from both responding admin from TFL painted a different story, one that was backed by the experiences I had shared with the RSL on Asgard RPG Server, where I am an admin. In the end, the leadership of the RSL felt they could do what they want, how they want, and that they did not have to listen to the staff of our server. They, the leadership, chose to do what they wanted to do, forgetting that if you do not have control of the server operating software, you don´t control the server. The faction members were banned for collaborating with the leadership in this effort. They told me, privately albeit, that they felt the leadership was effing the situation to heck and back, but they did not speak out against the leaders. In fact, one &quot;Senior Elder&quot; who won´t be named told me that this person completely disagreed with the decisions the other Elders were making, but since they would not listen, there had no recourse. While I don´t doubt the sincerity of this person, the Elder in question could still have expressed his opinion and been done with it. Below you will find a detailled post on our public forum that details to the members of our AWESOME community why we banned the faction en masse. Although I am new to the admin side of the game, I know that this type of behavior is not conducive to successful server participation. The best part was that the RSL predicted a server split, factions would leave and our server would die. Despite this warning, no faction has left. In fact, we have had more factions and players come in since this horrible episode. If you are a server operator or admin, you owe it to yourself to consider what I am posting. I am not trying to tell you what to do, only that you should keep one finger on the ban button while you keep both eyes on this faction. <font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>With full support of Tooth, Baene, Samurai and Justinian I bring you this letter. This was a 100% decision by the admin team here at Asgard. For the past several weeks, we admins have been bombarded with reports of conspiracies and rumors of personal vendettas. From the moment that they arrived on our server, the members of the RSL, at one point merchants known as Red Star Lines and later as their true faction identification – Red Skull Legion, have been embroiled in one moment of drama after another. According to the evidence that has been mounting to this point, they have tried to buddy up to one of our members, Justinian, and then when he apparently called them out on an aspect of RP (the basis for their claim of the Planet Crete) they turned on him. After that point, they have exerted a very strong effort to first remove him from the [ASG staff by avalanching the members of this staff, Tooth included, with messages reporting the alleged abuse of the admin position held by Justinian, alleged proof of personal vendettas, and cries that his continued desire to play on the server – untagged – as a Red Hessian character was against the rules. When that failed, they suggested to me that we emplace a member of their faction in the staff as an admin, which I made sure they understood as a rejected measure without any possible moment of consideration. When that failed, they began an apparent attempt to smear the new Hessian Faction that Justinian did help to create, but with the foreknowledge and approval of the leadership of this server. Then, most recently, in conjunction with this slander on the [RHS, the RSL attempted to start the process over by inviting me to join their server. Despite his faults, and they could be listed, Justinian has made a very concerted effort to repair the damage for which both parties share responsible some levels of responsibility. He attempted to post an apology in their forum, which was reviewed and approved by me, despite the misgivings that I had about it. I was concerned at the time that it was written in a language that might come off a little harsh. Unfortunately, the RSL leadership under Barbarosa chose to ignore the spirit of the post, and focused in on it as a personally driven assault on their faction. Despite my directly explicit order that nothing was to be sent to any other admin regarding this issue, Barbarosa and the other leaders of the RSL sent out PMs to Justinian, Baene, Samurai, Tooth, and myself. I dealt with the situation as best as I could, and made a decision that was in the best interest of the server. A few days later, I received a PM from Barbarosa that implied that Justinian had been in the RSL (off Asgard) forum and that a post had been made which was locked. The only thing that Justinian had in mind was repairing the damage. At that point, I asked Justinian to simply back off from the RSL. Do nothing to repair the RP, but continue to play the game as a Hessian. I asked him to politely refer all non-ASG Official requests sent to him by the RSL to me. I informed the RSL at this point that all non-official requests requiring an admin’s attention be sent to me. After this, I received a PM from the RSL leadership, asking why Justinian was still attempting to ram this “repair job” down their throats. I talked to Justinian via PM, and found out that they had tricked him into talking to them, never realizing ahead of time that they might try to trap him in order to get him in trouble with me. The very next day, RSL Raven decided to contact Justinian and get him to quit playing his role. Justinian did as I requested and sent a screenshot of the conversation to me. I immediately dealt with the situation and was a little curious about it. It was during this time that I began to feel like there was an attempted takeover going on with the server. Maybe not exactly the same as what had previously been attempted, but no less destructive and despicable. I took a step back and took a second look at the whole mess, and a clear picture began to make itself apparent. The RSL was seeking to control the situation from the beginning, either by befriending an admin and using him, or by getting their own man on the inside. It started with Justinian, and when they couldn’t control him, they tried to discredit him. Then they tried to get their own man on the inside. When I shot that down, they tried to get Justinian to either leave or get fired. When that failed, they alleged in a PM that Justinian was giving the RHS information that could only be obtained through abusing his access to the Server Operator – something I knew without a doubt he would not do. In that PM, they began to repeat the process by inviting me to join their private faction forum off Asgard in an effort to be able to “communicate better”. I asked Justinian what he would like to do just before this request, and he suggested that we offer them the opportunity to fix the role-play issues that the RSL were continuing to cling to. He said, and I concurred, that if they chose to fix the problem together, then they would be proving their benefit to the server community and the drama should end. He also stated that if they refused this offer, they would in fact be refusing to RP on a server where the only basis for existence is RP. I know this is a gross simplification of the message Justinian sent to me, and I apologize for the necessity of that. After receiving a copy of the PM sent to me from Barbarosa where the RSL made the latest series of allegations against him and the RHS, he finally had enough and asked me to consider with him removing them from the community. I concurred that there was more than enough evidence to support this move, and I agree that the drama that they have created in the method that they chose to establish themselves here, combined with the continued efforts to discredit reputable members, factions, and admin on this server have proven to me that their only interest is RP under their direction and control. They have shown themselves to be uncompromising, and unwilling to follow the simplest of instructions, thereby demonstrating a complete lack of regard for the basic precept of considerate compliance with the rules. In every attempt to make this situation both end and repaired, they have stated that they will only do so under unrealistic and unfair terms. While this decision is not easily made, I believe that it is for the overall good health of our community. We will simultaneously ban them from our forums and server permanently on the basis I have detailed above.

Actually, Pinkie, you crazy old coot - A group of guys and I are starting from FRESH INI´s to make our own mod. It won´t be as in depth (originally) as the Excelcia Mod, bvut we are designing it with RP in mind. It will be ready in approximately 6 to 8 weeks. We are testing it out now.

I have been running a Merchant Guild in MP Freelancer for about 4 months now, on my third server (the other two shut down).

Freelancer! Why are you wasting your time elsewhere? The game itself says you get to choose your destiny! Most servers are hackfest warzones where you either kill or are killed. That is the extent of your destiny. At Excelcia, you choose your faction, create a name for yourself, and then begin to shape your destiny! Don´t want to obey the law? We have several Pirate Factions! Think you are the law? Five houses with distinct political flavor to choose from! Tired of running and gunning? We have five - that´s right - FIVE merchant companies, and ONE of them is a stand alone company (not a state sponsored company). Great RP plus Great people equals GREAT FUN! What are you waiting for?

Leave it to Moby to spam off subject. Don´t you have some NEO bashing to go do? I am not in the Liberty Confederation, or the Rogues, but I am part of the Mod Team for Excelcia. I got to play with some of the Liberty House Guns, and IMO, they are the best of the bunch. Come Check it out. The Anubis alone is worth it.

Thanks Sub, et al. The scale appears to be correct. When I zoom all the way out, I can barely make out my ship completely in the viewer window. HPMount is located below the lowest point on the ship, with plenty of room to allow clearance between the ship and the landing site. I would appreciate it if I could send someone (**cough** Sub **cough**) the pertinent files to review and then go from there... I dont use Aim, but I do have an ICQ (#190312229) and MSN IM (eddieheisler@hotmail.com) - and I am always on. Thanks for the advice all.

I am working on a Viper Mk 2, a Battlestar, and a Freighter from the original series...

Hey all - solved my own problem. The easiest way I did it was to copy a FLMM Mod and replace the files with my own. Seems to work so far...

Ok, similar situation, but slightly different. PLEASE TRY NOT TO LAUGH. My OS, 98SE, locked up on me. I had to format the hard drive (after about 6 hours of screaming, yelling, pleading, banging, and begging). I got the PC itself setup properly, and went to install my favorite addiction - Freelancer. Since I had never had a problem with either the game or the PC like this, I never bothered to write my MP Account ID down on paper (DOH!), so I lost everything on all the servers I have ever played on. (Again - DOH!). I accepted that. It gets worse... The game does not have a MP ID on the Disc, and I cannot connect to the Global Server. Anyone know how to make a MP ACCT ID? Please help, I am JONESIN so badly right now. Justinian *** EDIT *** I played the first mission in the SP Campaign, and that generated a MP Account ID. We will see if it is new, or if it is the same as I had before. Either way - WRITE THAT ACCOUNT NUMBER DOWN!!! Victory, a true victory is not merely crushing your enemy, pounding it into submission.

Eagle VHF Currently: 4 Tizona Del Cids 1 Cannonball Missile 1 Lancer Missile 1 Starkiller Torpedo 1 Swatter Mine Lvl 10 Shields Tried this out on a hunch and it was FAST. TDCs pack so much shield busting power that it was over almost before it began. Shields dropped, staggered the launch of a torpedo, then a Lancer, then a Cannonball, finally a mine. Second time around I got cocky and got beat, not not that quickly. Any thoughts? @ Frobozz - I have Duelled other Drom´s in a Drom before, as well as watched it happen. It is a LOAD of fun to watch, even more fun to do. Best one I saw was a Drom vs Humpback. Humper was spitting mines to save his life, the Drom was manuevering to get at him from anywhere but behind. Beautiful! Thanks for everything so far, a lot of good information in here. Please keep it coming! Edited by - Justinian on 11-10-2003 16:25:27

ok, this sounds stupid in light of the above, but when I use the URLs provided to try and download it, I get caught in a stupid loop and I am unable to download 1.60. I would be willing to have it emailed to me, or sent over a messenger service (YIM or MSNIM). I was really looking forward to 2.0, but I also underdstand the &quot;no appreciation + no respect + this is total bull**** = this is not worth it anymore&quot; equation. Thanks for the laughs guys.
