NPC patrol path

[Cellulanus]

I understand that most new Discovery systems lack NPC patrol paths, and that Igiss has a policy of not putting any new ones into the mod due to their tendency to crash the server, the question I have would it at all be possible to get NPC patrols added to the game if they are extensively tested and found to be crash free on a private server?

Are they neccessary?

Yes, at least I would think so. So you can formation with them... and after a few hours, they will take you to your destination.:D

Are they neccessary?

For a system to operate no.

For NPCs to follow patrol paths yes.

The judgement remains yours as to whether it is decidedly needed.

Seems like it should be only neccesary for systems with tradelanes and stuff. But I thought Gallic systems already had that, I remember someone posting how Gallic transports flew along side the tradelanes instead of docking with them. Isn't that a patrol path?

It sounds like it, and it probably is. A lot of work wat put into the Gallic systems to fluidly integrate them into Vanilla Freelancer. I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

I'll get to poking around the system files when I've had a rest and report back for you. On the up though, 90% of the things people say you can't do with FL, you can.

Crashy crashy crashy.

*runs screaming from the room*

Remember the 4.85 betas where the server was crashing every 30 minutes. The reason was (a few) NPC patrol paths.

*screams some more*

(yes I know the server is still crashing - but it's not every 30 minutes - okay it is sometimes)

Heh... only if you can do it without making them crash into planets
