I wanna cheat :-/

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

I wanna cheat :-/

Yes indeed I want to cheat. I don't want to be "that guy" who starts out right away with a great ship and kills everyone else... but I would like to be able to get a few friends onto a server and one or two of us be able to have a battleship. Call me crazy, it just sounds like fun - cruising around killing everything (but not other players!). :-)

But... the servers seem pretty good about detecting cheating. I admit I'm kinda new to multiplayer, but I don't see how I can do this. Any advice? Do some servers specifically allow it?

If not... can I at least get a LAN game with MODS ok?

Thanks.

If both the server and clients have the mod in a LAN game it should be fine, but attempting to run that sort of crap on a normal internet server will either crash you or cause massive server instability, ruining the experience for everyone else. Make a separate FL folder with modded files for LAN games and a "clean" one for internet games or something.

Yeah, go right ahead...just do it on your own server.
