Hey Fox. Thanks for answering my questions and being understanding. It is refreshing to see a group that is willing to do so instead of posting “you st00pid n00b-face go away” type crap from the 13 year olds I’ve seen on other mods(Warcraft 3’s DotA…). I will hope to see an increase in player base soon.
I dowant to say that I very much like missions. It is more of a personal thing. in PvE the only choice you really have at the moment is basically being a pirate. Except for for targeting certain groups, which can prove difficult if you aren’t exactly familiar with the freelancer star systems. Basically, what I’m trying to say is that when I log into 88 Flak I am more or less lost, and somewhat discouraged. I’m sure any other new people to freelancer will feel almost exactly the same, thus making it pretty hard to secure some new players. Perhaps it might be a good idea to dedicate the starting planets/stations’ NPCs to give out missions specifically designed to familiarize newcomers to your mod, as well as make them excited to play it. A nice trailer will do nothing if people spend the time and effort to get your mod and then are discouraged within the first 5 minutes(as both My brother and I were… two potentially new players). Just my opinion.
