Mod 4.86...

[Tutashkhia]

Well,I'd like to hear your opinion about the mod 4.86.
My opinion:
2-3 years ago we didn't have the Turret Steering,Zoom,CLoacks and such stuff. Now we have and I think the Freelancer we're playing now really sucks.
The battles where capships TS or zooms out or cloaks and then escapes... really sucks.I got bored,this is really boredom.I fought in many battles some years ago and they were really battles,not like these s*** are.
I don't know how to explain,but until the 4.86 it was something like a family... I considered as the best game where you could talk others,share your opinions and hear their problems...

P.S And the leck of battles between OC - Corsairs, Battles in Bretonia and Kusari.And the most inportant.I don't understand what're the Orders for in this mod.I miss the battles between Orders and BHG, Orders and Keepers,,that was funny and that was interesting.
This is ...

Agree.

Agreed with OP.

so - you are saying that the mod would be considerably improved if we removed TS, TZ, cloaks, jumps - and probably PoBs?

just gotto be clear about what you WANT. its often easy to say what you do not want - but thats not exactly what you want.

I agree with Jinx. It is quite easy to just say "this mode sucks". So you really think that if devs will remove turret steering, cloaks and other new stuff, everything will be nice and shiny and amazing? Say what changes you propose!

Personally I don't care that much if the player cloaks. For me that is fleeing (and heck it IS fleeing !). So that means my party has won that battle. We hold our "grounds", the oponent doesn't.

What I want? It's not hard to understand.
But it's not so simple to say " I want ... " It's up to the community but for me I consider the Turret Steering, Zoom, Cloaks, Jumps and such things as an Unnecessary stuff.
I miss the old effects,game style,skills...
In this mod,capship's pilots don't need much skills to kill someone.Just Turret Steer,Zoom out a bit and it's all.

so i really do not want to sound condescending - but have you considered getting a bunch of likeminded ( as i am sure there are ) .... download 4.85 from moddb.com

and set up a small server for the group that dislikes those new features?

by running your own lower version, you might even be able to set up much more desired RP rules - it might well be a blessing... and i seriously mean it. - many rules and guidelines cannot be done on 24/7, cause the community is too heterogenous and large for it - but some would work great on smaller communities and dramaticly increase the quality of gameplay.

btw. unnecessary does not quite equal detrimental.


edit: see you already have a nice crowd of people who agree with you.

and no - we ( 24/7 dev team ) will not take away the aforementioned. we may tweak the stuff a bit - but TS, TZ, etc. will stay.

I hope in the next update the balance will be restored, because the things you mentioned above are ruining it.

I'll say nothing about that, but the problem is that I cannot set up a normal server and keep balance there.
But These admins could / can , I saw how was the game 2-3-4 years ago,I can see how is it now too. And I can make a difference between them.
