MP Combat and Level ratings

Sat May 24, 2003 10:22 pm by Badgerboy

I recently setup a MP server for myself and friends to play on. We started off, with myself trading, and my friend flying as escort. Due to the profit being generated by me, my level shot up pretty quickly, while his was still lower than mine. Under one pretty brutal attack from Corsairs, I was screaming for help, but he couldn't see any bad guys to shoot at.

Therefore;

Do players only see enemies if the players are of the same rank? Is there a way to turn this off? It's bloody annoying!

I'm all using the Rebalance mod if this has anything to do with it.

Thanks guys!

That is not normal. You have a MAJOR lag issue, or one of the mods is messed up.

Thanks for the reply.

Lag is not an issue. We started again at level 1,and found some outcasts we could fight together as we were both the same level.

When the incident with the Corsairs occured, I was Level 9, and he was level 2. I was wondering if server wouldn't let him see them, so they wouldn't tear him to bits.

Probablly you were not Grouped, but just in formation. So Who ever is leading invites the other in too the group, so if anyone attacks you your group see's the attackers as well.

We were using groups, but I noticed formation was disabled when we hit a jump point. Would grouping also be disabled?

I trust I was setting groups properly? Select them in the target list, click the 'invite button', and then they hit the red flashing one on the top right?

Thanks

must be that mod then, not used it for a while. Last version i tried was a old beta. I've stuck to the vanila game since.

Can anyone confirm this? Be a shame to deactivate the mod.

Well, it's only TOTALLY OBVIOUS that you two don't have all of your factions exactly the same. Most likely, he was hostile with Corsairs while you were neutral.....thus, they attack him, but will NOT attack you until you shoot one a few times and turn him RED, or hostile. Grouping will not affect this either....I have been in many groups where only one member will be attacked by a faction whilst the other can either help if necessary, or just watch the other group member go postal.
