Possible MP Improvements
First off, do you guys think DA will follow through with this game?
Right away id like a patch for bug fixes. Single player mode was fairly solid, no real bugs I can think of. Multiplayer is fairly touchy, servers seem to crash a lot, and that wouldnt be so bad except that you loose all the work youve done.
I really hope a large MOD community forms around this game, because it has so much potential. Think about it, 128 players is a fairly lage number, that approaches persistent state size...
Here are some improvements id like to see for the MP:
- Make server available for linux. This will increase server stability, and the number of server installations possible. I know id host a smaller size server on my linux box if I could.
- Game Master options, like changing commodity and equipment prices...
- In MP mode, people are more interested in PC interaction, not NPC interaction, tone down pirates and police, they seem to be everywhere all the time...
Anyway, I could go on and on, I think Freelancer MP has a lot of potential, but I think its sort of weak right now. I hope MODers pick up on this. I think you coudl definitely build a small sized persistant game around Freelancer MP.
