    I hope this is not seen as thread hijacking but this talk of warp drive is interesting, would it be possible to do if one was able to link the jump scequence to the engins ( or maybe thrusters, this way fixing a prob of dule thrusters that some mods have) so that when engaged it would throw the ship to a point in the connecting system? it would be like the jumphole but scripted to the ship itself. It would mean a ton of scripting, because you would need a unique script for each system and some kind of tag on each ship so that you would not need a unique script for each ship for each system. Just a thought off the top of my head there. But back onto subject if this guy had indeed made this warp drive mod he might have not wanted to share it because he messed with the exe. file and from what I have read in other posts here that is not exactly legal to do. When he said it was done by accident he might have changed a bit of script to do something to the engine( IE. increase the top speed or something along that line) and instead of crashing the sever, which 99 out of a 100 times is what happens, he found the warp efect. But since this was not the effcet that he wanted at the time he went back and "fixed" his mistake, then by the time he realised what he had done he had forgoten how he did it, if he had done this effect at all. And on a note of the server it might have been one that was set up to test new mods before they are put up for other players. Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    2068 the first time, then being ciourious I hit the button a few more times and got results from 2028 -2089 lol I dont care what it says I´ll live to be at least 300, its the only way my life will cache up with my imagination lol.

    as finalday stated shipyards is were the work is done and ports would be were the fun is <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. The reason for that is the same for factories, a item is bulit at the factory then shipped to were the public is at. not too many people would visit a shipyard for the sole porpose to buy a ship. To overhaul them yes but to have a dealership on the shipyard would just get in the way of the workers. Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    40k is better in my opion. Mainly because you get to attack with more of your models in 40k then you do in fantasy, in fantasy you only get to attack with the front rank, unless they have spears, so that is on aveage 4-5 attacks ( my lizardmen get to have 8-10 because they all have two attacks each hehehe) while all of your models in 40k get to attack. the one thing that I do not like about games workshop games is the turns, one player does all his actions while the other player just sits there makeing saveing rolls, I like a system used by the dirtside game were each player does one action each then when they are both done then the turn is over( player1 moves one unit, then player2 moves and fires a unit, then player1 fires another unit,and so on). But tha is one of the few complantes I have for the game. Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    no the audio came from teamspeak. Not too sure how to explaine it but I have had some experience with it on SWG when I had teamed up with a guild that was spaced baced. Some frelancer servers also support teamspeak, did I word that right? Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    lol this has become the stuff of ledgens now lol ( sorry for the spelling I just got up). This has to be the tenth site that I have seen this WoW subject on. The sad thing is that it was staged, but it is extreamly funny none the less. I have heard from other WoW players that this has even become something of a warcry in the game lol. All I have to say is ............ Long live &quot;LEEEERRRROOOOYYYY GGGIIINNNNNKKKIIINNNNSSSS!!!!!&quot;

    reading the posts here and I read that it is(?) possible to make an emty bace? so that players can own them? if so would it also be possible to have shipdealers on these baces buy your ship and at a later time sell them back to you ( they would buy your ship for say 10credits, storage fee, and sell it back to you the next time for 1-5 credits) the ship dealer would have a stock ship, like a starlighter , as a lone ship till you can buy another ship. this would be a great way to introduce garages into the game. There would still be the three ship limit ( two owned by the player and the lone ship), but is it possible? Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    the fourth edition rules are pritty cool. I have been playing since 2nd edition and while I needed a little time to get use to 3rd edition I had fun with that one. one of the really cool edtions to 4th edition is the &quot;kill team&quot; rules, you get 180 points in models and the other players get a number of three man teams depending on what races are involved. inn these games the &quot;good guy&quot; ( are there really any good guys in 40k?) is seriously outnumbered and has to work hard to win. And it is great to see games workshop returning to adding more fluff to their books.I just got the new tyranid codex and it has me putting together a wish list lol. The space marine codex is cool too but I´m not all that fond of ultramarines ( the boring no flavor army, and if anyone reading this is in the pittsburgh pa area i´ll more then glad to feed the tasetless army to my tyranids lol) Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    well I played it at a friends house but I had played morrowind before that and neverwinter nights is not even close lol. But i hope you have years of fun with it. Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    for me it is starburst jellybeans. They have a solid flavor and they are fat free( who cares that it has a ton of calaries it is fat free !!) but on the downside they are small enough that you can eat two pounds of them and not notice it till its too late (I have done this on many a weekend, especially during nascar lol) Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    thanks for the info all <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. I hope that someday either someone will crack the code ( find a way to add storymissions) or I get enough free time to look into it myself (as in &quot;hmmm what happens when I do this? &quot<img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> best of luck to all of you in your various projects <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    I have been playing warhammer 40k for six years now, there was a hiadious of a couple of years while I hated the third edition but I got over that , but the main army I play is tyranids, the lictor is by far the most terrifying model in the game !! I have won battles before they are fought because these models have scared the oppenets into staying in their deployment zone lol. I also have a large space marine army ( the broken cross), a good size ork army ( I got most of these because they came with the game when I got it) but I mainy use the orks for target pratice for my other two armies, I am also building a medium size imperial guard army for the same reason lol. I also have finished building a lizardman army for warhammer fantacy because a friend of mine also plays that one. I love the models because games workshop is one of the only miniture companies tha not only encurage you to tear apart their models to make new kinds, but also show you how to do it. And with as much extra stuff they put on their sprues you have a ton of stuff not only to put on the model but also use a either trophies for other armies ( some of my space marine speeders have ork heads mounted on their nose lol) or added to terrain pieces to make them more fun to look at. At the moment I have little time to play the game because I work so much ( and playing freelancer also takes some of my time lol) and also because I dont have many people to play with . My friend has a family to look after and while the nearest hobby store that supports games workshop is not far my work hours makes it impossibe to go there on a regular basies.

    cool to hear. I was thinking as some of the people in the bar give destroy missions and give info that can be &quot;loaded onto your nural-net&quot; it might be possible to recieve a cargo or passenger to transport to another bace or even ship. the high payouts would be for missions that leve the system your currently in.

    I have the dvd edition of the OT and yoada still looks like a hand puppet. Dont get me wrong I think the hand puppet has more &quot;life&quot; to it then the ditial version. And I still say that R2D2 is the man . In the whole series that little astromech droid took no sh*te from noone. Ok maybe luke but that is ony because R2 still had fond memories of Anakin.

    ok, 1:why would you want to &quot;ghost&quot; the baces? the only time I have seen a mod were an item was &quot;ghosted &quot; was tradelane rings, and that was only so the really big ships could use the tradelanes ( had to use this mod when I tried out the nomad battleship mod) . 2: some mods already have cap ships avalable for the players, evo is one and I think most of the mods by starfyre studios has them ( not too sure ) 3: agine why in the world would you want floating turrets?!?!?! just get fighter escorts lol. 4: if you want an open sp were the shields are weaker just play a mod that just takes out the storyline (as vanilla as you can get) <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. Baced on your past posts I am a bit dissapointed in this one you are usally more thoughful then this. Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    lol I have never tried any trade routes beyond the water, boron route in new york system (mainly because I keep trying other mods lol) but one trade route I dod like is one that you can do in evolutions mod. go to the colorado system and engage anything that is red to you, tractor in the pilots and sell them for 2k apiece. As for the fun in tradeing over straight combat is that it lets you really explore the freelancer universe. Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.
