How many of you still play FL?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

the story's the same an all, but with WC and Priv ships, looks great! Instead of cloaked Valk's torping Rhineland battlecruisers, you've got Hellcats and Pakhthans doing it, gunboats are replaced by Broadswords (and they are deadly - take em out before you go after the fighters)

I'm currently chugging in a Thunderbolt and it's just so much fun lining up on capships, pity there's no lock delay like in WC, there was just so much tension taking all that ack-ack while waiting for your torp to lock, and you couldn't weave or you'd lose the lock.

warzog's done a very good job, the modelling on the Kilrathi ships in particular is excellent from what I've seen so far, Dralthi V, Gothri, and Pakhthan.

well i did have to unistall/ reinstall after a hacker deleted the game dirctory but i was back to playing right after install and some network changes

@Taw,

You can tweak the torp lock delay or any missile lock delay in the weaponequipment.ini. Default dealy value is 0 seconds. You can
push that back by replacing the zero with a positive value.

You bet I'm still playing fl. Only online tho, sp can't realy interrest me anymore.
For those looking for crowded servers, Frost-works has 3 of em. Also with Ioncrosses kick-ass mod called Total War just released a few days ago (public beta) you might wanna check out that one. For those who think fl was easy, you'll be in for a big surprise when you leave the New York system

I'm sorry, i just seem to have walked into another dimension. I'll just leave and come back.

/comes back

what? Ed's telling me how to edit .ini files? Haven't you got something better to do, like, insure things?

actually i didn't know that. You're getting far too clever, I'm going to have to remotely frazz your D-Hell to teach you a lesson

and since you seem to be so dam' clever at the moment, what is the lock delay on a Lance torpedo? huh? huh?

Default delay is 0 in non-modded FL for all seeker missiles/torps. I'd have to look at what Warzog did with his Privateer mod to answer your Q and I'm at work now so.....

@Warrior,

If you go to the Freelancer discussion forums and Mods forums at TLR, there are lots of solutions to all kinds of mod running problems.

Hmm couldnt play for about 6 months...long story, started playing again the other day, restarted the storyline, very boring, need to find my savegamefiles and search for the time b4 all the shipping vompanies got angry at me, havent played mods yet due to slow connection which would cuase me to take hours to dl any mod, cant really get back into the game now, otherwise I'll fail all my exams, this means I'll have to stay almost without fl rill end of November

Trying to hack into hell wont help, they put up extra firewalls

I just started playing this weekend after an 8 month absence... still love it!!!!

I am going to find a server to play on as soon as I get the cable hook up at my new place. Is it bad that the computer was the first thing that I got situated at my new house? And the first game I played was Freelancer!!!!!!

@Taw ... gilding the lily now....

The Privateer torp replaces the Sunslayer. Warzog did not put a lock delay on it, it is still 0 seconds. Under munitions, change the Sunslayer torp's "time_to_lock=" value from 0 to whatever positive value you want.

sw, if you get the hankering to try some mods, there are several that are less than half a mb in size, easy for us dialupers.
