MP is way too easy

Want help in running a persistent server? Want to setup a gaming session? Look no further!

In your thread, you stated that Multi-Player is way too easy. But you described only the single player aspects of it and how easy they are. It is true that the challenges the game provides you are not really very difficult and soon get boring. But the point of Multi-Player is to play other players.

Now that you no longer need help from other players to take on the challenges the game provides, you need to start fighting other players. NPC's are nothing at all compared to a human player. Humans will give you the challenge you need, but sometimes you got to make them do it. Freelancer does not do a very good job instigating competition among players, which will probably cause it to have a very short life. Games like Counter-Strike, battlefield 1942, Jedi-something etc. etc, do a much better job. Like someone else said, tax, toll, pirate, etc. Basically, start playing mean and make people retaliate against you. Your challenge and fun will return.

first of i agree it is to easy mp thats way i set up a sight with server side mods
all AI/NPC use bots for hull n shield,,plus regenerate shields in the process of making them shot better n changing there weapons so you pepole that think the police r easy will get a run for your money // battle ship encounter will be added once i work all the bugs out when iam done there you will need at least 5 good players to kill 1 of them// making more stuff illeagly so trade runs will be harder n increase units that jump you at the gates //trade lanes in some systems have lots of good player that no how to fight n they get killed by ai too n there are a couple of surprises ill leave out

if you want to try it out come to @term0shad/lightning/wam site if you still think its to easy email me at [email protected]
