Planets Planets Everywhere

Post by Jase-Katar »

Please don't take this as a bad complaint, even though I am complaining. I spent two days in one of the new systems (not naming due to spoiler issues) and I have to say WOW

Dont get me wrong, I like the whole 3D thing, I like the spread out nature of the systems.

But why so many planets. I travelled to a good portion of the planets in a preticular system and really was confused. Again spoiler issue prevents me from what I was finding but.

Please understand I have a great amount of respect for the people who designed and set up this mod, (god knows I can't do it) and for a year now they have taken heat about "when's the new mod being released" SO don't beat me up to bad when I ask

"Please reduce the number of planets in a sytem, to a reasonable amount."

Again I apoligize for complaining about the new mod

I think the there has been a "trim" in the number of planets or atleast the number of 3d systems since many demanded it due to load time probs etc.

Now if u are talking of the new version of the mod which iis being tested then i dont have much to say,but i think u should compare this version with the previous say 2115d,maybe then u would know whats the change. :-?

I must also say it is hell to navigate on those 3d systems as well. What looks like a quick dash, is a huge journey on the Nav Map. We aren't fortunate enough for there to be a 3d  holographic-style navigation map in Freelancer. (Maybe if FL2 ever comes out there will be one.) Finding jumpholes is also incredibly, incredibly hard in these systems.

Well making the system that big gives you the feel you are in real space.

i have no problem with the 3d systems, i don't mind the jouney too much. and my god are they beautiful!!!

i mean the nebuluas and the planets just look stunning so i think they are really good,.

i know the problem to which you are refering and i believe this will change once the mod is stable.

there will be more things on these planets

Thanks for the feedback.

If you dont like them please dont visit them until I have had time to edit stuff in them.

This is in essence a duplicate of the systems thread and pointless having open.
