Freelancer - The Void

@ Völker: yep, those are pretty good criteria. Especially the second one. ("- What do you see yourself doing in the new mod and what are your interests in the game?") So, @ everyone: what do you? :P


@ Vansen: actually, that's a good idea. Think you could come up with some? :P Some help is always welcome.

Oh yeah, and about those starspheres from before: you mean the vanilla FL system starspheres, no?


@ Xenon:
6- i wish that nomad weapons rule is deleted forever so we can mount nomad weapons on non-nomad ships
Same as capital ship equipment on capital ships only: organic equipment on organic ships only.

7- i wish each clan base get a defensive platforms & 15- i wish the clan ships and clan skins added officially to the clan bases
See the latest posts in the "news for clans" section.

8- i wish that the entire dimensions between ships , planets is fixed so i can see the dimensions fitting toward each others
In essence, that would mean an almost completely new mod. I think you can understand why that's not going to happen anytime soon :) (But yeah, the different scales between people, planets and ships in FL is really messed up.)

12 - i wish the server create more direct jumpholes from NY to most important systems as the new one to EFZ which facilitate much more on new players first step.
There's going to be a jumphole to the Event system from NY, but nowhere else. FL doesn't especially like large numbers jumps inside a single system anyway.

14 - i wish that Clans RP Templates are not forced in a forced style - and players of clans can have the RP template that they ask for , and not that decided by some admins who know nothing about those players fun.
I take it that was aimed at me, even though I'm no admin. So, you're still sore that I said you can't be friendly to the Order and neutral to both the Nomads and the Hel? :D Surely you see what would be wrong with that, both RP-wise and with balancing.

16 - i wish that clan bases commodities and guns shops works perfectly
Nope, no commodities on clan bases, sorry. Balancing that without giving an edge to the clan in question would be hard. Also, do you mean that there are bugs with the equipment dealer?

As for your vague accusations and such... If you've got something to say, say it or shut it.
There's a big difference between what some people wish, and what can actually be done :) Not to mention that not everybody agrees on everything. See this thread :P A few examples: most everyone wants the rogue tag to be gone, while you don't. You'd like free money for new players, while others wouldn't. As a rule of the thumb, for any given change, you can bet you'll find at least one person who wouldn't like it :P


@ Zeus: play it in SP then :P


@ Burn: black engine effect? o_O

And here's where the Polls come into hand - the majority vote gets aprooved

If the vote is to close to call then cancel the decision.

Ah and yes black engines ftw lol - i just ment that something fancy should be done so that each housefaction gets it own destingushed color to be recognised from a RP point of view - threby giving plsyers (RP clan members mainly) also the opportunity to dstinguish themselves (it's like wearing a flag in a battle)


edit:the addition of the clan ship skins will have a similar effect and positive outcome for RP.

We don't need magenta engine smoke with purple lights efect...the mod "looks" good as it is.
What we need is action an purposes.For example make this possible(auto console) : " Black Legion's New Eye Of Terror base is under attack"..."Black legion's New Eye Of Terror base have been destroyed". And you will se action and people online.

Cheers

oh...and maybe an "overkill-mother-of-all-anti-cheat-software"

@Admin Rimshot-

I am sorry if you though of me as the 'spokesperson of the Dev Team'. As you said I am not and I obviously am not,nor was i acting as one even though it may have appeared to be so.(I admit I should have been bit more careful with the way i put across my message)

As far as from where i have got the information,I have stated only what other Developers have mentioned previously with respect to the size of the Dev Team, implementing new features for 2145 and ''wrapping up 2115 as soon as possible with ver9''.(All this has been mentioned in various forums from open public forums like this one to the Writers Forum to which i have access to. If you want I can back this up with quotes.)

And obviously there would be certain limits to the changes that you can bring in to the already drawn plans for a mod that is well into the development phase and not to forget that the time frame for completion has to be kept in mind as well. So,I have merely stated the obvious on that front.

Finally,if you read my post carefully I never said don't suggest features and I don't wish to discourage people from doing so.
I specifically said 'some features' may not come in 2115ver 9(never said which ones because i don't know as i am not in Dev Team!  )but you may ask for it for 2145 as the chances for them being implemented will be better.

I hope I have clarified and removed all doubts.

Regards
Geromix
PS- Don't think I am lingering around here in these forums to ''pull down'' Void. Due to my long attachment with Void for more than 4 years and the fact that AoF continues to play here I still feel in some measure that I am part of this community.  :|  And sorry for going Offtopic.

1. PvP stats
2. Destroyable Clan bases (would be nice to see how much each base were attacked/destryed or enemyes tryed to do it, but failed (if thats possible to do ))
3. More events
4. More Ships and Equip
5. I personally would like to see alex gates back

     i think all this already were mentioned in previous posts

As I wrote I hadn’t played under this mod since it had been started.
I don’t know what has been changed nowadays, but my personaly request from the new mod:

1. – Don’t loose rockets / torps after a death.
Suggestion:
If you want to punish the killed players, take off some money from him/her. (it can be a fixed amount, or a small percentage of his character’s money)
But don’t take money from killed players, if he killed by his group-member (Nobody wants to loose money under a clan-military exercises).

2. – Nomad weapons can be mounted to the non-nomad ships (I think of nomad blaster and cannon at first).

3. – Slots of the most ships enables
- 1 cd
- 1 rocket
- 1 torpedo
at the same time. No need 2 or 3 or 4 rocket slots, but it is not too much.

4. – In this mod rockets and torps can be launched at the same key on the keyboard (if I hit ”1” key I lanch torp and rocket as well. In the older mods I lanched torps with key ”1” and lanched rockets with key ”2”.)
Please enable this old configuration possiblities in the new mod.

@ Blade:
Frankly, who wouldn't want new ships and equipment? :D But there are going to be both.

@ Kosztya:

1. Taking money from players dying might not work, precisely because what you said. Also, this way the one who did the kill actually has to get away with it to make money off of the loot they scooped up :P

2. See my reply to Xenon earlier. Besides, there are replacements which are almost exactly the same for human ships, so why are we still talking about this? :P

3. Hmm. You mean 1 cd for LFs, 1 cd & rocket for HFs, and 1-1-1 cd&rocket&torpedo for VHFs? It might work, but would be bad for variety. What about those who'd like 2 CDs, for instance?

4. Yeah, this'll have to be added to the readme: you can launch your stuff separately by using the "fire weapon #" keys. Any changes done to how the various launchers are mounted will break the original fire torpedo/missile/disruptor keys, so unfortunately, there's no way around that.

Hi Everyone: I See a Lot of Ideas Being sugested here for the v9 Mod.

Hope u can keep track of it all...:<)

The Lady of the Skies, Like the Lady of the Lake, in Merlin...

When u take on a Mission and Tractor in the Spoils of War, when something is full she says:

  "Tractor FAILURE"

How deeply imbeded is that Phrase encoded?

Could it be changed to something More Positive, like "Tractor Complete" or "Tractoring"?

The same when u run out of Shelds. "Shields FAIL" to something Like "Shields Need Regenerating"

I hope this was not off the subject for this post..:<)
