Discovery mod v.4.79 bugs&suggestions

[Dab]

Eldfrey here hasn't fought a major battle with NPCs here yet...

Note to Eldfrey; NPCs knock around battleships and cruisers like asteroids knock fighters around. You can't target anything when your bouncing due to pesky fighters ramming you.

Yeah.... That's a good point....

Khwain: Bringing back up the railgun idea......

Inside of my freelancer/data/equipment/models/weapons folder (I think that's right), I found a file called br_railgun.cmp, so I suppose there already is a railgun. I'll start trying to make them, just because I can, but I can't guarantee results.

Slight problem with having a large fighter escort for cap-ships, LAG.

Even if the other side/group turns up with less ships you'll still get a lot of lag and any missile cruisers/BS's would be useless as they wouldnt be able to fire their missiles (I know this for a fact it's happened to me at least twice) just whatever energy weapons they have.

Plus anyone remember the fight over New Berlin with the -=?=- that resulted in a server crash?

There are 4 movements that are not possible in freelancer:
Roll left/right
Strafe up/down
FL ship movements are rather bidimensional...

I dont know if its possible to add those movements to FL, given that the movements are hardcoded into the game engine... But if it is possible to add them, i would like to see them added to the mod.

Well, on a server clled RAW , on which i played quite a bit, i saw a player called Anakin who had SUCH GREAT SKILLS and he did all these moves...me and Vlad have almost equal skills...and he fought that guy Anakin..in a duel...i think it lasted for...5 seconds? He was a Freelancer skill teacher on that server....wish i could meet him again...i have NEVER seen such skills (and he was romanian, i can tell you that, so i`m a bit proud ;) ;) . No nationalist feelings :yahoo: ;) )

[Fire_Tzunami]

Yeah i'l take some lessons from him ;)
Ok igiss please tel us will nomads and the order be a faction?

Still some bugs: if you kill a lot and i mean A LOT of xenos, zoners become enemy with you. And killing xenos is like the friendly universe mod but a loooot moooore inefective. So shoul the nomads.

This suggestion is from a dream I had recently (yes, I dreamt about Freelancer, I know I have a problem...) I've not really thought it through so see what you think...
How about having some unique items in the mod? Without being unbalancing, wouldn't it be cool to have a special shield, or thruster, or gun, that absolutely no-one else has? These could be 'seeded' into the mod at random to active characters (like a lottery) to either use or sell. They would be totally in the domain of players, and not sold at bases, dropped by npcs or found on wrecks.
Admins could make periodic checks to see whether the items still exist and are active, and if they're not, simply introduce them again. They could easily be given selling prices at bases, but these prices could be small or zero to discourage players from selling them.

how about somesort of ship moddability like engine tuning (ive played to much racing games) like choosing good acceleration or good top speed :D

[Dab]

Man handling and top speed are the best to have screw acceleration.

can we make the engine a piece of equipment?
So we would have various engine models, with differents speeds and acelerations rate.
