[Freelancer Community News]Freelancer Feature Article needs your Screenshots!

I would have thought so too with all the great mods….out there. Mine is only in beta and not ready for any big adverts as for what you need. I’ve even taken down my server info because of the trouble with editing the information concerning it. I’ll just re-submit it later.

I’ve been viewing the site often and will continue to do so.

I would like to add, I noticed one of your sigs as the “Fixer” kind of caught me a little strangely. It was a name I used a long time ago when I first started online gaming. I didn’t know how to create signatures back then and had never seen it used before then either and since until now.

And a friendly advice to all: PR is the key to nice player numbers. For what do you have the greatest server if nobody knows about it?

What size for the screenshot?

Well, I think it’s more an issue of everyone being busy, and not lack of interest. Although I periodically check the Starport, I was away most of the weekend, and might have missed this if not for M0tah giving me a heads up on IM.

I will admit though that it is annoying to see most “save freelancer” attempts get broadsided by community politics (“why does this mod get coverage blah blah blah?”). It’s pretty clear at this point that mods are the biggest saving grace of Freelancer, and to many players why the game continues to be enjoyable after so many years - which is why I like your simple “first come, first serve” approach, as that pretty much subverts all that crap.

I’ll poke some of the devs on my IM list that aren’t already featured here, and see if they’re interested.

My apologies, Roo, I haven’t had a lot of time to check any forums as I’ve been busy with school (I’m currently training in the hospitals; 12 hr work days + studying). I think FF has contacted you for FW:ToW and has given you our screen shot. I hope you will be able to include it in your article.

Thanks for the opportunity and I’m sorry I didn’t contact you sooner.

Shouldn’t Vanilla Freelancer Servers be included as well? There are many out there that have great RP that are not modded. No favoritism should just be given only to modded servers. It was the Vanilla servers that impressed many to make the additions for the game in the first place.

Equal Opportunity here. Correct?

First come first serve i think is the best way to do all save freelancer posts like this one. If you dont get in quick enough you miss out but you cant complain because everyone was given the oppurtunity to submit something to it.

I was lucky to get MU’s ss in as i was on holiday all of last week and it was only by chance i checked the forum and saw the post about it.

@HK: And nobody said vanilla servers couldn’t submit screenshots as far as I’m aware. If they didn’t, tough luck to them.

@Roo: Good to hear

As stated, equal opportunity was given - Procyon, which made the list (apparently with time to spare, no less) is vanilla through and through.

Given the fact that vanilla gameplay is at this stage often overlooked in favor of modded gameplay (for some reasons that I agree with to a certain extent, and others that I disagree with very strongly), I’d like to thank Roo for helping to give us the chance to get our name out in ways that probably would not have otherwise been possible.

It just seemed like a very short noticed and that many may not of had the time to see the ad. You’re right though, tough luck for them.
I would have offered my server with it’s new mod under construction but, I see it like this, I join forums all the time and leave my forum web url but, even though I show courtesy enough to join those forums and view their forum and register to learn more about them, and can see how many visit my profile, I don’t get the same respect from them to view my forum of which you have to register to do so. I don’t make any difference to me. I’m not a beggar of members so my forum looks the most busiest out there. I’ve deleted over 500 as is.

Some of us could use help from more advanced people as yourselves but, why should I send all my members away to just hang out here or there and not return? I do the searching and return with answers I’ve learned from those who have them.

I don’t have the FLCN bar but I have the server rings on some that are still using html but on those that don’t, links are provide in my portal.

I’m just tiered of being given the run around when I’ve been dealing with servers and cheaters and other issues as long and many of you have and much longer than those that are here now.

Glad that Roo has been given the change to excel in something he’s always wanted to do and hopes that it bring him great fortune in the long run.

HK, it isn’t about respect. You’re hosting a server site; if I’m already playing somewhere, what exactly would I do by going to your site? Modding questions are best answered here so that they help everyone in the process, and I don’t have anything else I can think of that I could do on your site.

If you don’t want to show people other sites, it’s your go, even though I disagree with the idea very strongly. You’re just painting things as if, by showing them other sites, they’ll all leave your server. Are you so afraid that others can offer better value? I doubt it. Well then, why not show them what’s out there? If you are confident in your server and mod (And I hope everyone, be it you or me or anyone else, is), people will most probably keep hanging around, but they’ll be even more faithful to you as they will have seen what’s out there and will still prefer what you offer. If you hide what exists, you only end up clustering the community even more for no reason.
