The Star Core

[viper1701d]

I have been Playing on a Server for over a Year and A Half have not worked to much and I live and Breathed the Discovery Mod, Only I have ran into a Little Problem with FAM, I seem to Be Limited to only 266 Accounts, is there a Limit on This Program? and If so what is it?

I place only one Char on a Account, so I can Organize them With Great Ease, and can Find the one char with so many with hardly No effort at all. I list all of my Chars By Server, then by Faction Name, system Stationed in, and Ship as shown Below, Allot of the time I also Station a Ship in One System to Cover that System and Defend and Intercept in that System, So if that is Listed it Sure helps for me to be able to list that as well. The way this Program list accounts it seems to be very confined, can this be scalable or set maybe as large as FAM?

As far as the comments Section I use it allot to List What is Stored on My storage ships as well, on the main Line where I List my Accounts, This Program is Way to large and Cramped of a Display to do this Easy. Also you need to be able to Click the Account name and have some way to Edit the Entries the way you can in FAM, this Program needs this so Bad! I Can not List Enough Information in the Small Area Provided. If there is a Way to Narrow the Horizontal Separation Lines vertically (Gap Between the Entries and the Separation Lines) and Even have a Selectable Font Size, or set it to a smaller Size the same as FAM's Fonts lets say this Would Help Greatly, Now that would be Extremely Great by Far!!!.

I'm not trying to Pick Apart this Program at all, It is a Great Program, But has allot greater Potential than is being applied now, and is better that FAM By Far now with a couple Exceptions, and is more well Drawn out, but the Layout needs to be worked on. the Checkbox Entries need to be Way Compressed and not spread out, Kina of a FAM layout where all the Buttons in One Area, and not spread out so much Leaving more room for the Main Entries Section. as well the names on the buttons need to be in a contrast color so it is easy to see, maybe even a option to select different colors now that would be really great.

Note I also Use My Entries Line to List allot more than this, Short Armory Stocks and so forth, Works Extremely great for this. Can edit on the Fly as I sell Weapons, I can not do this on this Program because you can not Edit what the Account Line Says by just clicking on it, and it is Way to large to Fit much, the lines are Way to large vertically so you see Very few entries, This so far is the best option in FAM, and is Better than This Program, Would so Much Love to see this added and I would See no further Use for anyone to use FAM again.

One other Note, Is there a Way to Have Multiple Tabs for account Windows where you can really have multiple Account Tabs in One, so You could lets say make or add Tabs so you could sort lets say List all your transports on one tab, and and each faction have it's own tab, Trust me with over 266 Accounts This would be So Extremely Great, If this could all be worked into this Program there would be no Use for anything else ever.

In Short My Dream Program would be This Program with the above additions.

Change Font Size, and Adjustable Account Screen, Make a POP up or Undockable Window for Options Rarely Used Menu Options to pull up another Window Etc., Or a Show these Options Window Selection Area where this Program was a Little Customizable. I do not see how this program could be Improved beyond the above, and would be the Pentacle of Programs Surpassing anything ever.


The Below is how I list my Accounts so I can find them Extremely Easy, This is only One faction of many, NOTE: on FAM these Entries Show up aligned and Look Correct! All class of ships are Listed at the End and are Very Easy to see. I can not Use this Option on this Program the Listings are to large and way to short :''(

SERVER - FACTION-1 xxxxx - [Admiral] =============================================================== [Battleship]
SERVER - FACTION-1 xxxx.xxxxxx =================================================================== [BattleShip]
SERVER - FACTION-2 xxxxxx.xxxxx ============================================================ [Cruiser]
SERVER - FACTION-3 Dresden - Leipzig - xxxxxx ============================================ [Gunboat]
SERVER - FACTION-3 Frankfurt - xxxxxx ================================================== [Gunboat]
SERVER - FACTION-3 Hamburg - xxxxxx-xxx =============================================== [Gunboat]
SERVER - FACTION-3 New Berlin - xxxxxxx ================================================ [Gunboat]
SERVER - FACTION-4 xxxxxx.xxxxxxx -============================================ [Bomber]
SERVER - FACTION-5 xxxxxxxxxxx - Hamburg - Mjolnir SHF ======================= [Fighter]
SERVER - FACTION-5 xxxxxxxx - VHF - Wraith ================================= [Fighter]
SERVER - FACTION-6 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ============================= [Lt.Fighter]
SERVER - FACTION-6 xxxxxxxxxx ================================== [Lt.Fighter] [RECON]
SERVER - FACTION-6 xxx ======================================== [Lt.Fighter] [RECON]

P.S. NOTE: When you Install the 1.3 and or the 1.3 Patch the version of the Program still says it is v1.2...

And again By no Way do I feel that this is a Bad Program, But I have been a tester for other programs and know what to look for in a Great program, I am Very Impressed with this Program, but as I said before I see Very Great Potential in this Program, So this is Why I have taken the time to write this. Allot of the programs I have seen over the years have been ok programs and do OK, but do not Stand out as this Program does. So I am Hoping that this Info is considered Properly and not as any Kind of attack to the Designer and or developer as it is not in no way any kind of attack.

Apparently Norton doesn't like this file and automatically removed it after download. I'll have to play with this later after I get back home.

Has anyone else had Anti-virus issues with this file? I downloaded Discovery Launchpad v1.3 Full.exe from MediaFire.

[Govedo13]

It is norton fail. The program works well and it is bug-free/virus-free. I use it from the first version and it is perfect. Remove the norton, get some real anti-virus- NOD32 or BitDefender or even Kaspersky, the rest are just smelly.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

[Jongleur]

It's been a while and I see lots of good feedback; thank you all.

At some point I'll be going back through the list of recommendations and making some improvements to the program, most of which were suggested here.

As some faction members know, I haven't been around enough to do much of anything, but when my time frees up a bit I'll be getting back into it and will be looking for some feedback on some changes, good or bad.

Thanks again.

The direct download link I gave in my post is SAFE, I can guarantee that.

It links to my own little piece of internet on my ISP's server.

The button shortcuts on my lauchpad cannot find the server or client.

Likely because my game date is stored in E:\ and not C:\. Provide re-target option?

In the top right hand side of Launchpad, there should be a field which is titled "Launch Directory". Click the grey square next to it to search for your game directory; E:\ in this case. Target the EXE folder within the Freelancer game directory.

The field should now have: E:\....yourlocation....\Freelancer\EXE

There was a sig here, once.
