Server probs.

[[NTA]MARViN]

Not meaning to sound rude or ungratefull, but is the Freelancer server getting worse?

It seems that over the last 2 weeks it has been more and more unavailable.

Also before this time most evenings the server would be packed full of (25) players, but now only 5-6 players seem to be on there.

Have people got bored with the game?

Have players gone to another server?



I expect the problems are due to flakey MS code!

The server was updated to 1.1 and is always up afaik. Only seen a max of 4 or 5 players on it though at any one time.

Some other servers do getalot of attention yes, it does also seem that an expansion pack with new elements for the game would bring about allot more interest too - only other thing to re-kindle interests i would imagine is to plan a clan war or whatever. Try to introduce a new element

The server seems to be down now, too...

Now I'm all levelled out, out gunned out, all shipped out....it's a teeny bit dull... :sleep:

So maybe as darkwing suggested, we could do clan wars or something? :smiliewar:

A patch or add-on pack that supported multiplayer team-based missions really wouldn't go amiss! :D

[DeadMan]

well a clan war was supposed to have been talked about but i don't know what happened about that. and as for expansion for the game, bring it on!

Hi All! Me and a few friends from clan-forsaken of house forsaken have spent many hours playing on the Multiplay server! Generally a great server with acceptable ping and overall great people!!! Sadly, the server has been down since like Saturday late evening/early morning 2 AM CET. I've just checked it again a few minutes ago...and still down. Is there the chance that this server is getting nicked? That would sincerely be ashame. Would someone be so kind and send me an email at: indy_vienna@hotmail.com to let me know when the server is actually up and going again?!!? I'd like to do some proper playing again after the long holiday (living in Germany)...8)

Greetings to all, especially Fox, Warworm, Darkwing, Darksun, et. al. it's fun to watch you guys work and thanks for all the 'support'. hehe

Cheers,

Ruckers of House Forsaken

Shame the servers down i really wanted to trade in me Titan for an Eagle and give it a spin.

[ceesar]

I'm sitting here periodically hitting the "refresh" button, in the hope in comes back alive.

On the subject of ships, I went for a Sabre...

...had it for a while (and quite liked it) before coming across a Titan, which I thought I *had* to try out...

My opinion - what a bunch of *rse! Handles likes a complete boat. You also lose a weapon, 'cos there's no forward facing turret. Larger shields and hull are nice - but I'd rather trade off against a bit more firepower and handling...

...so I traded in, and stepped back "down" to a Sabre! :D

Only thing is, the Sabre looks like a bit of a shed - the Eagle is a nicer looker, IMHO. :cool:

[SirronFrost]

I went from a Sabre to the Titan played with it for a while got board of it and went back "down" to the Sabre but the weapon load out I had at the time drained my power in something stupid like 5 seconds. So back up to the Titan I went and now I've got my nomads + codenames etc. I'm ready to give the Eagle a whirl.

[ceesar]

hmmm, i'll be interested to hear what you think of it, seeing as you will have flown all three.

...and I' m sure others will be interested to hear as well...

[DarkWing_2450]

With the server down, i would like to add that i think there is no best vhf - every design difference between is made to balance them upon different aspects

*Titan - Ultimate Armour, Moves like a brick thru a Sludgy sewer
*Eagle - Baked bean can armour , but as swift as the birdy itself
*Sabre - A hybrid type of all rounder, which true, that front firing turret gives it that cutting edge - this ship is however a go-between for the others.

So its tailor suited to you what ship you go for, to avoid firepower - you need speed. To survive being shot atlonger, you want the armour - and in the sabre's case, you get a bit of both.

Well......thats how I see it.
