Go ahead m8

• and don’t wait 4 negative statements.
  ;D

If you should get negative feedbeck,
you still can improve the post 4 the next time.

I… um… (gulp)… agree with F!R

Ignore ALL negative statements… It looks great m8.

oh and F!R… um… peace?

Nice job, Bas. Looks great from here.

makes me wanna buy Freelancer, but unfortunatelly i have one already, so i won’t do so
perfect Promo

As i said before if you cant include all mods then dont include any. I see this as a very biased approach.

great job brother keep it up. ;D

@Dragnite_MU:

Totally agree.

You can find everything you want to know about Itano Circus at the moddb page here. Info, screens, video.

Be sure to include this screenshot, as it is sort of the title card for IC.

Hey, at least Frank doesn’t waste any time in getting his mod info up. applaudes

No but really, while I tend to agree with statements like Dragonite’s “if you can’t fit 'em all don’t fit any”, ads like this need fine mod examples to help convey the point - so why not just submit stuff on your mod for Bas to put on there? That pretty much solves the “bias” issue; has modding competition really gotten to the point where mods can’t be advertised to the non-Freelancer public?

Also, for feedback:
Perhaps remove the specific Autobuy, credit transfers, player cloaking, player docking, and webinterfaces mentions. They take up room for things that are becoming pretty standard, and are mentioned in the mod descriptions themselves. I think people tend to care more about the end-product mod anyways, so this would free up more space to display mods without getting crowded.

For the mods in the ad, I think Freeworlds is a good choice. It’s a polished project centered around a universe everyone loves, so that alone is bound to throw some interest back into Freelancer. As for Flak, to be honest I was a bit surprised to see it here, as it’s a rather radical mod, but I guess it’s good to cover the spectrum; I certainly shouldn’t complain. =P

I think a few more mods - especially familiar ones - would be good for grabbing back old players. Seeing new mods mixed with the old ones would probably give an old vet plenty of reason to at least check the community out again.

What exactly gives you or anybody else the right to sit there and type that one mod is better than another or one is more polished or one is a bit radical. Those are your opinions and everyone has a different opinion. MU has been around for 5 years and has seen thousands of players walk through its doors. So what gives you the right to say it doesnt belong in an ad for the game.

Its this kind of stupid mentality that got the FL Community into this situation in the first place. Too many idiots with huge egos who dont share and believe their mods are the best thing since sliced bread.

I dont claim to have the best mod around because i know damned well their are better ones but i do claim that MU is totally unbiased and if it were us making such an ad then we would either inclue all of the mods or not mention any of them.

Also if i am asked to share something or asked for help then i do it and i do it in a way where i am not putting someone down because they are trying to learn how to do something.

Im also not scared to advertise other mods within my mod and am doing so right now for the Underverse mod. Its just a shame that so many other people are incapable of doing the same thing without some petty flame war breaking out.

Thats all i have to say on the matter and if anyone doesnt like my opinion then you know where my inbox is

NVM. ;D

…… oh what …
… no WTS in the announcement…
… you can’t do that …
… atleast you also have to remove all other mods …

[–->SARCASM OFF<—]

I think it’s obvious, that such an announcement can’t include all the Freelancer mods
and
I think BAS did choose 2 very nice and especially very different mods
(what doesn’t mean your mods - or WTS - are worse),
Those examples will help to show interested players, what’s possible with FL today.
And i m furthermore convinced, that it’s better to
have one or two mods in a kind of showcase, than nothing.

And readin’ some of those statements above,
i m really glad he didn’t choose WTS 4 that.

So PLEASE stop bitching around and discouraging him.
Every new FL player he attracts with that,
might sooner or later try your mod, even if it isn’t named now.

BAS does PR work 4 us all and we get it 4 free.
That earns respect imho - nothing else.

@F!R:

Totally agree, the FreeWorlds and 88Flak is very representative of the two mod.

BTW, I always forget to say:

Thanks Bas for your hard work. ;D
