Is Polaris Dead?

[Jamez]

I activated polaris 4.75 and looked on the server list to find... none.

I would set up a server, but i don't have posession of a router.

Can somebody help me save the life of this mod?

It would be used for when/if the server went down.

Denier? have you given up on Polaris?

I haven't given up just yet, Jamez. =P

I'm waiting for my new PC to be delivered. When that's done, I'll be able to use my older one as a dedicated server.

Well, that's the whole point of Polaris: to make every single original ship flyable, while leaving the rest of the game untouched.

Anyway, what I meant was suggestions for improving the balance.

Hi Denier. Have you checked out 88 Flak? Pure Freelancer (except for 1 ship). Even space stations are flyable and it's possible to hire npc wingmen. A bit buggy compared to Discovery but worth a look. Please let us know if/when Polaris comes back up.

Flak 88 is great. However, it's for LAN multiplayer and author of the mod doesn't conceal it. Got 3 wingmen? Prepare for 2x lag in PvP combat. Anyone needs it here? I guess it's better to rely on your own ship and skills.

As for flying weapon platforms and stations... eh... maybe flying trade lanes also? :P I can do this you know, that's just not exactly what Discovery is about.

mabey just 2 wingmen?
im just spitballing here, but mabey the ID can be a wingman contract
E.G.,

Order Private's ID, 0 light fighters wingmen, 1million
Order Enforcer's ID, 1 light fighter wingman, 10million
Order Sergent's ID, 2 light fighters wingmen, 30million
Order Captain's ID, 1 heavy fighter wingman, 50million
Order Admiral's ID, 2 heavy fighters wingmen, 70million

of course name and fighter respective to faction,
the only MAJOUR problem i se here is the imense amount of scripting and toil old iggy would have to do, so... :unsure:

Well, is the lag worth it?

Oh, and nice to see you again, Daedalus. :)
