Heh, I like to guard my ideas for new editions of the game closely. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> However, there may some nice tidbits to throw in at the end of this round of CYOF 6. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

The Arch is probably the toughest mission in the game, except perhaps the very last one. I have flow the mission in all three of the fighters listed here; the Hawk, Barracuda, and Dragon. JDawg is right, you need to avoid the fighters. Start by taking out the generator away from the battleship, and then hit the other two while keeping the base shield between you and the battleship. Then, make long, thruster powered runs on the last one, using guns and/or torps. Take out the battleship if you want, and JDawg´s idea sounds very good, although I´ve never tried it. It may seem daunting at first, but you can beat it. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

<font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>Current status? Well ... in which of the dozen or more times I have played the game and then freelanced until I found every system and tried every ship and faction??? Remember that some of us have been here a couple of years or more. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE></font><font face=´trebuchet ms, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica´ size=2> Amen. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Pretty much as he said. I love the SP campaign, and I´ve played through it more times than I can count, with lots of mods, etc. And as Barwalker also said, it always brings me back, somehow. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Leaving FL, Spaz? <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Sorry to hear. Anyways, I enjoyed playing with you on Asgard, and I hope you don´t get lost in the wide world of gaming. TLR will be waiting right here if you ever want to come back. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

This idea has been brought up before, and I turned it down that time. However, this time, it might be possible. My biggest concern is the CYOF tradition that things are kept within the bounds of the game Freelancer, but of course in CYOF 4 we added new systems and such for the &quot;expansion&quot; of CYOF 1. However, I have some ideas for a CYOF &quot;Anniversery Edition&quot; where we might be able to implement this. I´ll keep you posted on this. Also, chupa, if you wouldn´t mind, could you rename this thread´s subject to &quot;CYOF 6 OOC Thread&quot;? Thanks. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Poor Easterners, I pity you. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Out here in the desert, I´ll bet we don´t get a drop of rain. What´s new? <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Well, if what Killa says is true, then this hurricane could potentially alter the world in a major way. Let´s all hope for the safety of those in the SE US, and hope that those oil refineries stay safe.

Actually, the game is on hold for battles until we do the last turn and decide the winner. Which reminds me: CHESS, WHERE ARE YOU?!

Yeah, lol, Code is really lazy when it comes to things like that. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Put my vote in for Jack Mason, please, HK old buddy. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Perhaps I could insert a little suggestion? All of you lines, especially the dialogue, are running together. Your story would be much easier on the eyes if you were to insert space between the dialogue and the paragraphs. Example: <b>You have: </b> <font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>“There’s that bastard!”, he said to himself The man then runs across the walkway, and gets into the door before he could shoot him. The other guards follow, not bothering to shoot him. Alvaro stands up and makes his way up to the platform above to the control panel. He stands and looks at the console, and suddenly the ship begins to turn. Alvaro looks into the window, and sees that it is turning towards Crete. “What the hell!”, he thought to himself, “This thing’s going on a suicide course!

He scrolls down, and sees an item that catches his attention. “Chemicals” “If this thing goes and blows up in the atmosphere… Those chemicals will disperse, and kill us all…” Alvaro pushes buttons frantically, trying to control the ship.

OMG, Roc starts ANOTHER faction... <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I might join up, although I´m pretty happy with ANN and EXP on the Asgard server. But Roc is a great clan leader, so everyone should consider joining!

You are an excellent modeller! I would consider myself an beginner at best, as I´m still trying to make my first ship. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Too bad you can´t texture. I´m looking for a texturer for my ship.

Next round starts seven days after this one ends. And Chess, welcome back, and we can reopen the game once you get those battles resolved.

Folks, due to the massive amount of battles and lack of avaliablity of impartial judges, I´m putting the game on hold until we can get the only avaliable judge (Chessalavakia) to do the battles. Basically, no more turns until the game is restarted, and then we will finish up with turn 14. We promise to do our best to get this sorted out quickly so we can finish the game. THanks for understanding! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Okay, for all of those who cannot find the GMAX-&gt;Milkshape Exporter, it can be found <A href=´http://www.lancersreactor.org/t/Download/Download.asp?ID=1676´ Target=_Blank>HERE!</a> The site it is on is... this one, so it should work unless this site dies. Inside the zip you download there is another zip containing the Quake 3 exporter. Simply put it in the stdplugs folder and it should work. Hope this helps, and thanks to Drizzt for the awesome tutorial! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

3 Shipyards maximum, LE. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

I´m afraid that you´ll have to fight. And it is 16 for techs, and as for ship improvments, any one stat cannot go beyond the ship´s maximum.

Whoa whoa whoa, Roc! 16 maximum, remember. I don´t want to hear &quot;guranteed tech success&quot; out of anyone anymore!

OOC- Lord Emporer, I have discussed this among my judges and the highest you may raise your chances with Improved Labs is 16. Anything higher would be incredibly cheap. SO from now on, any of your researches will be 1-16 success, and you may take back the money you speant on the nulled tech attempts.
