The-Starport FLServer ?
-
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.

Can’t agree on vanilla, can’t agree on mods…
Community servers have been tried in the past, and never really succeed. I think that’s because the idea of the server isn’t 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 perhaps…that way it isn’t 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, you’d 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 PC’s 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 NPC’s on that route… 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 “too many hands…” people react badly.
Here’s 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, that’s my most recent philosophy.

bump

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

Are you still in interest of the server?
-
Any news?
