I am affraid that i don't understand. If you mean log into your server? You have the server window running - you can kick/chat to players from there. Alternatively - IFLSO - Ioncross Freelancer Server Operator gives you the option, as well as kick/ban controls at easy and manageable places.

Alternatively you can have remote access to the server, but this requires some programs running, but also presents security holes for servers as well. Its up to you about whether that is worth it. If so, i think you need FLAdmin - but i don't really know. Best to scoure the downloads section of the site, and have a check. Either that, or you can ask the people who really know about controlling servers. Email a server admin - but make sure you are very polite and considerate to them - remember, you are asking someone else to spend their time for free to help you. I only say this because i still get emails that "demand" help every now and then.

if its not your server, and one of the Admins on the server did not give you admin, you cant be admin. the Admin characters on a server are usually the owners of the server and their very close friends, or the highest ranking people in the clan that plays that server.

if you dont fit in to one of those categories, you probly cant get admin on a server.

i own a server thats why i was asking...

I have seen ppl flying around with cloaking devices and when they talk it has "ADMIN" in white, infront of their name. Its for actual in game administration rather than remote or through the console, i have all that stuff.

Thanks for ur help

probably should have worded that better, i meant i had all the remote admin stuff, if u were refering to that i got it from this site...if u were refering to the in game admin, then i don't have it, and would really love to get my hands on it soon

There isn't an "ingame" admin as far as i know. You can chat to console whilst playing, but most likely they have it set to say their name and not console when they talk through...........the console. Just a lean over to the server can have you chatting through there, or if your playing whilst running on same machine, a simple alt tab will swap windows (ie game to server console).
