I saw discution about this issue before, and this how I uderstand it:

in SP:
some players said that they actualy affects the game, and they even get to the point that they get escorted by 2 Sabres (they where talking about outcasts) when ever they go the sabres stayed with them tell they die.

someone else mintioned a huge nomads invation to Omicron gamma, that happened after playing many hrs.

someone else mintion disaperence of Bounty Hunters from Omicron Gamma and the numbers of corsairs greatly increased.


and there is much more things you better search the forum (might be in discution forum)


in MP:
this could not happen due to that servers restarts (by the same method we get codded guns again..)


thats how I understand the picture and I might be wrong.

I even read in old DA forume they intented to make the trading prices changable and affected buy the markets demands (if many players sell cardamine in manhatine eventualy the prices will get lower and if someone lane hack diamonds shipments to tokyo eventualy the prices will go up ..)



" Does Fraging PKs makes me any better! ? "

I have a dumb question, since im new to freelancer.
Are there any mods, which increase these dynamic universe properties?.
Things like.. Bases can be build and destroyed. Planets can be taken over by other factions. A faction that you protect will grow larger or you could kill them off almost entirely.

I know only about mods that alow you to buy BattleShips.

" Does Fraging PKs makes me any better! ? "

Populations can be somewhat random you can't really wipe out a factions factions presences are hard coded

G_M, hmmm - that's too bad. It would be nice to 'tilt' the balance in favor of one faction vs another. But it might be on a long-term scale, not a few hours of play!! So, IE if you play 96 hours, that is four days in the FL universe, not very long. So, instead they could have taken the long-term view and set 'histronic-points', so when a certain time has elapsed(sp?), a change occurs - depending on exactly what you've done. Let's think what could have happened after the war against the Nomads. The time after the war, Edison Trent goes on various missions for different factions, but one faction is always the recipient than any other faction (always stays green). So, how soon will a change occur? (that's my question...). Some posters has claimed that since they traided Cardamine, and killed lots of enemies of the Outcasts, they had been in the news!! I would like to hear exactly WHEN these changes occured (how many hours played). So far I've played 184 hours: 06 min. My 'score' is 8292/77 (fighters/freighters) and 260 missions. I know that it isn't much but I'd appreciate if they could describe a 'time-table' when _they_ experienced changes.
