Any where
At least where a playerbase (NOT Freelancer players) is located. For instance, gamerās hell, xfireā¦. -
Just updated the post a bit, what do you say? ^^
-
Go ahead m8
- and donāt wait 4 negative statements.
;D
If you should get negative feedbeck,
you still can improve the post 4 the next time.

oh and F!Rā¦ umā¦ peace?

Nice job, Bas. Looks great from here.
-
Yeah, but one thing I fear that the posting might get too long if I include more mods? (I am going to do so though, but just a thought.)
And I have to find a better title I believe ^^ -
As i said before if you cant include all mods then dont include any. I see this as a very biased approach.

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 doesnāt waste any time in getting his mod info up. applaudes
No but really, while I tend to agree with statements like Dragoniteās āif you canāt fit 'em all donāt fit anyā, 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 ābiasā issue; has modding competition really gotten to the point where mods canāt 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. Itās 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 itās a rather radical mod, but I guess itās good to cover the spectrum; I certainly shouldnāt 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.

Donāt worry, I will add some other mods later.

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

Dragnite,
I just want to include quite different mods and such which will attract new and/or old players. That has no thing to do with which mods is better, I for instance also wonāt add 2 SW-TC mods there, because one is enough. And I have to get a very compressed post, other wise I really would in clude (all most) every mod out there.
But I have ālack of spaceā.
(This is not meant offensive in any way) -
ā¦ā¦ oh what ā¦
ā¦ no WTS in the announcementā¦
ā¦ you canāt do that ā¦
ā¦ atleast you also have to remove all other mods ā¦[ā->SARCASM OFF<ā]
I think itās obvious, that such an announcement canāt include all the Freelancer mods
and
I think BAS did choose 2 very nice and especially very different mods
(what doesnāt mean your mods - or WTS - are worse),
Those examples will help to show interested players, whatās possible with FL today.
And i m furthermore convinced, that itās better to
have one or two mods in a kind of showcase, than nothing.And readinā some of those statements above,
i m really glad he didnāt 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 isnāt named now.BAS does PR work 4 us all and we get it 4 free.
That earns respect imho - nothing else. -

Iām sorry that you took my post that way; I didnāt mean any offense. I never said that any mod did or did not belong in an ad; I think Monkey Universe, as well as many of the other older projects, would be great to display here to show any old vets who used to play the mod how many steps forward your project has taken since they left - potentially drawing them back in. When I claimed Flak was āa rather radical modā, I meant it in the sense that it takes enormous departures from standard Freelancer gameplay mechanics, which is something that is a huge turn-off to many FL vets - which is why I was surprised to see it in an ad appealing to old players. I never meant to place Flak above or below any other mod with that statement.

While I really donāt want to add fuel to the fire, I feel this is a fair point to make: every aspect of Flak is openly developed. I have written tutorials for major aspects of the mod, and everything M0tah has written for the mod is 100% open source. All of the graphical upgrades written by Why485 for both Flak and Itano Circus are freely available as well. Numerous other projects have also adopted this open philosophy, and while Iām aware some projects maintain a āclosed developmentā stance, they are fully entitled to do so, so please refrain from calling them idiots.
Now, a little more on topic, Why485 pointed out to me that Procyon may be worthy of mention - http://procyonserver.com/index.php?page=procyonhook - theyāve done some pretty unique work, and should be appealing to the older vets fond of vanilla FL, but looking for a little spice.
