- 6 New Systems with lots of suprises
- Several new ships including Anubis Mk2, Armored Transport, Dromedary Mk2
- Buyable and flyable Cruisers, Battleships, Cargo Trains
- New equipment, like different thrusters
- A "War" is taking place between 2 systems with invading forces, Cruisers, Battleships. All of them can be shot down.

it crashes the game both in mp and sp, when launching.... dont try

It doesn't crash for me, but before I get into this I want to know what it is about. Please enlighten us, Raven. Do I need to go out and do the entire SP game again, or what?

You really need to give people something that sets your mod apart - I like your fleet idea, but I think you need to explain it in more detail, give us the stats of any new shps you have, explain the new factions etc.

Also you need to tell people what is so special about the systems, if the tutorials are followed corectly, anybody can create their own set of systems that are perfect in their own perspective as opposed to yours, if you want people to download the mod, your systems must have something special to offer. I'm not suggesting that they don't, but you havn't said what they do have to offer.

With what you have written down it looks like a mod that anybody who had browsed the forums could make to their own game - this may not be true as I have not played it, but from what you have written it does not look like you are offering people enough for them to put down their own modifications and use yours. This would explain the negative reaction.

I am not criticising, I am just explaining why people have reacted like this and how you could improve it. Saying this, I would love to hear more about your opposing fleets idea - I think this could possibly be the be an origonal attribute of your mod that would attract people.

Yep, it does sound interesting. But, contrary my statement above, it does crashe the game. At least when I try to launch...

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 12:50 am

What does the mod do exactly? Also, are there any servers running this?


Does anyone know why FLserver keeps crahing on me

I used to hate weddings cause all my aunts and grandmas would poke me and say "Your next sonny!" They stopped when I started doing it to them at funerals

ok scartch that every time i try to enter newyork stystem it crashes

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 1:39 am

I definately like your ideas, but as the mod isn't functioning at all, why announce it?

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 2:03 am

The mod is working fine, we have tried it for days and fixed issues and bugs.
BUT... The server you are connecting to also needs the server mod, do NOT connect to a regular server with it! We will put up the server mod files later today.

Aha! Now we're getting somewhere: we need another mod to actually make it work. You might have told us.
At least I do know now that it's an MP thing.

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 2:56 am

it also works single player even with old games.

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 3:19 am

When I tried that (loading an old SP save) it still crashed...
