The-Starport FLServer ?
-
I know its been done before but freelancers almost at a point were the people left are mostly modders and still some of the best about.
I would like too see a pooled effort mod to truly sum up all other mods into one.
The way i see it, with the massive jumps made in last couple of years in understanding an minipulation of freelancer no mod ive seen truly pushes it too what could be done with some imagination and some of your guys tallent.
Flak88 seemed wild and out there
way back when
but as it was developed it produces so many changes that by the end is it taking real advantage of the break throughs made.(free plug) Fox just usin Flak as example cos its such a unique mod
puttin some of u coders w0dk4 / motah / adoxa to work on a single goal with some of unique ideas could push hook to being the new unthinkably good.
the engine can take alot more than ive seen it do so far.
Now im an ideas man, i can do a bit of everything
just not as indepth in individual skills as many of you can.when it comes to different modders with diff styles i think under the right banner it can be easily compensated for due to the fact that what makes a truly great mod is the ability to be varied, to have more than one style, to be everything to everyone not just one mans play thing.
i know this is something that will prob never come to light along with attempts to make freelancer 2 ect but i know id drop rebalance to work on a team with you guys if we were to get all the minds here and pool them into one force.
need to convince the greats to join !

I went to bed at 8:00am and got up at 8:45ā¦ and im to tired to read every comment so if this has been said i apologiseā¦and if this makes no senseā¦ pssshtt. i care not.
Could we maybe put in some sort of competion for each month, 2 monthsā¦ with some kind of prize, im not sure what, maybe an upgrade for ship for any kind of arranged large scale battle that might take placeā¦
Ya. that makes less sense the more i read itā¦
StarTrader is a bigmadmklaeef zzzzzzzzz <-- sleepingā¦
Joking ST.

have to disagree with tanjitsu. the guys we know of are mostly modders but due to my playing experience on venoms dawn of war and on the dedicated 88flak server and new universe (though i started playing pretty late and stopped soon) there are lots of simple players out there, huge amounts of germans and russians, some frenchs and few canadians. most americans and pretty many germans are modders but out there are still many players who have pretty much no idea of modding. many do not even know of mods or how to get started with them which is, why freelancer is dying out slowly but definately. however at least my enthusiasm gives me strong belief that it is our duty and ability to change it massively.

Canāt agree on vanilla, canāt agree on modsā¦
Community servers have been tried in the past, and never really succeed. I think thatās because the idea of the server isnāt decided before it is put up.
Is it to advertise other mods? Or their features?
Is it to provide a place to play with each other without requiring a huge download?
Is it just to have fun/community spirit?You could consider a mod rotation of mods that have no server? Some older mods perhapsā¦that way it isnāt in competition with anyone (although stability may be an issue).
Alternatively, you can try getting folks to contribute, but what happens when someone needs to make a change quickly? A whole re-issue? If you include features of all these mods, youād need them to work hard together - is that possible? Do you really want to deal with all those egos?
Or just go vanilla with some server side changes. Harder PCās and the occasional invasion or increased police presence / patrols / piracy along the more popular trade routes (ie as people increase trade along one route, you can (server side) increase the piracy frequency by NPCās on that routeā¦ and their ferocity/difficulty, which may make the route decrease as they find alternatives, or it may increase cooperation between players etc).
Just my thoughts
Either way, administering the server will take time. -
here start off with this i just made it. no server is runing it
http://www.moddb.com/mods/freelancer-vanilla-server-mod/downloads/the-vanilla-server-mod add what you want then change the version number. -
When I make a comment on the lines of ātoo many handsā¦ā people react badly.
Hereās another case in point.
When did this topic start?
And how long have we been talking?
Yep. Just another coffee-shop.
Just get on and put anything on, admins.
Then at least there will be SOMETHING, not just a lot of cud-chewing.
Only dictatorships work, thatās my most recent philosophy.

bump

FL-Strike? No dictatorships? (Ships of Dictators)

Are you still in interest of the server?
-
Any news?
Without any offense intended.
