Oh, but of course! We aim to please. If a customer would like to do something as legit as blotting out the light from the stars surrounding the Temple of the Damned with star-fleas? We'll gladly build a hypergate to the proximity you desire.
Reading this made me really curious. What has Crossfire's lead developer done that makes many of you dislike him? All I know is that he instigated a flame war on the Star Citizen forums between Discovery Mod members and everyone else.

Oooh, crossfire hatred?
*The Lost goes of to rage about the terrible Crossfire SP Story*
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

Okay, well, here's the story.
Once upon a time there was a haven for Freelancer modding called The Lancer's Reactor. This was a glorious place, where all modders came together to work together, find solutions, and discover new limit breaks. It was great.
Then one day, TLR got shut down because its hosting ended. It was rebooted by Louva-Deus, and Worfeh and FriendlyFire started The Starport. And all was well.
For a bit.
Things broke down at TLR. Ownership of the site was passed from one uncaring person to the next, until it reached the hands of a guy named AzzA. AzzA was not a nice person. At all. He was instrumental in several DDoS attacks against other Freelancer communities. Once AzzA had been banned from... basically everywhere outside of TLR, he gave the site to OPR8R (OP for short -- I'll use that for the rest of this article).
Important note: At some point in there, the lancersreactor.com domain was lost and TLR started using .org.
OP started out pretty chill. He restored TLR to some semblance of former strength, helped decrypt the oooold TLR database that was still being recovered, and started running TLR as usual. And then TSP acquired the lancersreactor.com domain in an auction to prevent it from falling into the hands of advertising companies.
OP did not take this very well.
When TSP started restoring the old (pre-2008) Lancers Reactor database as an archive on lancersreactor.com, OP's TLR and SWAT/Crossfire communities began slandering and even censoring TSP on their forums. As late as 2011, TLR was practically pretending that TSP never existed and that they were responsible for some of the brilliant advances developers on TSP had come up with.
And now we have cases like OP continuing the hate by slandering TSP and TSP-related communities (like Discovery and Freeworlds) on the Star Citizen forums. Oh, and OP never made AzzA stop the DDoS attacks after receiving control of TLR.org.
So there's your history.
TL;DR - read the bloody post or I'll link you to an even longer article by w0dk4 about it

To cut the story short it was and still is a sausage fest
