This might sound weird & i?m not a programmer -so be nice.
What about adding a rogue/alien invasion fleet showing up in a random system, make this a module/mission able to be turned on & off by admin. Make them in the newer systems as not to screw with the games original systems or mod itself. This way, we all have to pool our resouces & skills to come together & attack or ambush this alien invasion fleet. Set it up like a small tactic war. We would put all disputes to the side, to defend our way of life. It would be a good way to get everyone together once or twice a year or more. Kind of like your carnage nite but against the computer/server.
Start it out with rumor?s of strange sightings & missing ship convoys, etc. Give out medals or death certs. depend on how well we work together? OK, I played alot of wing commander & X-beyond, but it would add a twist to the game every now & then.
Just a thought,it might not be do-able, but it?s a idea?

anyway i was thinking about the long time you have to travel from the one end of the sirius system to the other end... can?t we add something like light jumps and that you have to buy fuel for it or something so you can not jump unlimited and jump away anytime you want... it should be a nice adding to the game i think...

also it would be fun if you can get cloaked or something so nobody can see you for a time... great to escape a battle or to attack somebody without he notices... anyway... you should buy a cloaking device (do not make it to expensive or to sheap and it has also to be limited that you cant stay cloaked for always...

Just some crazy ideas which i made up when im sleeping ... Tell me what you guys think


*****Now i am not to sure i want cloacking device lol, but some good ideas here****
Cheers

There will be no cloaks. It has been discussed before. Cloaks would spoil the game.
The "Warp" engine has been discussed before. It can't be done because of FL game engine limitations.
For the alien invation... that can be done by players as a huge RP event. I think that it would be quite difficult to add it to the mod.

subject: Widescreen resolutions

This has been annoying me greatly now, because i cannot play FL in widescreen (resolution 1400 x 900) because when i manually change the resolution, all the buttons at the top go off screen.:(. Is there any way to fix this by adding a option for widescreen resolutions in the options menu which actaully works properly?

Not possible. Its a game engine limitation. The game was not designed with Wide screen in mind.
