Player Characters adjusting total numbers

Thu Sep 25, 2003 3:36 am by steve62

I've noticed that when playing multiplayer you are allowed only 5 characters though the list could hold more. Is there a way to adjust (increase) the number of characters a player can have on any given server?

i have to ask why more than 5 ?

So a person can fly many types of ships without buying and selling constantly.
In SP of course you can just save your game and go purchase the next ship, saving that game under a different name..

For your server's security force it would be nice to have your cops set up on different systems so they could respond quickly to cheating and such...
I run the "Alberta Top-Gun Freelancers," server BTW.

anymore than 5 and it would make FL slow, I have currently 3600 player folders on my server. When starting/refreshing FL and admin utils it reads each of them. So a possible 18000 files to be read, so glad its limited to 5. Anyway as admin I find 5 is enough but I only have One Rule bound system, NY.

Pinger, which server do you run?

If you throw enough mud ..some's gonna stick.

Well, this sounds useful for Server Police. I'd like to know too. Up it to 10 or more,
let the Police create their patrol chars, then set it back to 5 for the masses. Works?

Bologna on police having more characters. I think 6 or 7 would be a little better, but 5 will do. To answer Steve62's question, the only way you can have more than five is to have more than one account. You can use two computers or learn how to change your character code back and forth on your computer.

@jat71 in my sig but Account Creation is usually Off. I enabled for a few days, usually until the cheats/modders/trainer users make it unbareable then its off again for a week or more

Here's how it's useful. A player (with 1 PC) wants to become Server deputy, but already
has five high-level functional characters. Increasing # lets him join. Ya can increase
starting $ easy, why not ship #?

Well not all admins Should be visable, how do you spot cheats/NY Pkers that can see by your name/tag that your an admin. Soon as they see you join they stop or move on.

I mean like on Elite, where you must have the Server_Deputy_# tag.
Agree must have both uniform and plain-clothes cops, like real cops.
