Freelance RB 3.30 bug reports, comments and tips thread

Hey people,

Well, looks like the Aten forum has been removed, or something else happened. I'm just guessing about that. I have a site up that will act to replace the one that was deleted, or lost, or whatever... Personally I'm a little annoyed that the topic was either dropped or deleted, or what-have-you. If you want to try to keep up with 3.5, then here's the address to the site, I'm not going to make it a link, in case that's what got the other topic deleted... http://flspace.genocide-inc.com

I'm not currently able to keep it managed, but I'll drop a note to Ro9ue and Darqie to let them know it's still there. Ro9ue is an admin there, so he should be able to keep things rolling smoothly, between school and other stuff, I hope he'll have time.

Rebalance 3.5 IS still under active development, though it's taking time to get everything put together. I recently talked to Ro9ue and said he should go ahead with the mod without the full version of the Wrath... I hate to leave that fighter out, because I've worked hard on it. But since I can't send it to him. It is one of the things slowing down the mod, so it'll have to go into a later edition of the mod. (anyone care for a "Rebalance 3.5 Patch version x.x"? {kidding}).

For anyone looking forward to seeing the Wrath in 3.5, my sincerest apologies.

Anyway, take a look at the other forum, tell us (Rogue and I) what you think. We welcome any suggestions or constructive comments. But any comments about our mothers will not be tolerated, and will be met with lots of soap in the mouth and frothing speech

All joking aside... Thank you all for your support of the Mod, on behalf of everyone, past and present, that's been involved.

By the way, to anyone that has contributed to the mod in any of its recent incarnations, please sign up on the site mentioned above if you're interested in helping to contribute to the latest edition of Rebalance, we really could do with the help. This also applies to anyone who can mod, who might be interested

As the old saying goes... The more, the merrier

Well, you're probably falling asleep from all this babble, so I'll cut it short

Thanks for reading, and eventually, I'll see you in space

I have played this mod for five days and generally I can say it is nice. But there is some things which I'd like to point out:

Ridiculously frequent massive battles. For example in Omicron Gamma there is a chance of 50% to be a massive battle when I depart from planet Crete. Somewhere must be a VERY large factory producing battleships and cruisers 24/7 on three shifts. Makes no sense. I'd suggest 1/50 or rarer for big battle frequency.

Is it necessary to have these starwars/babylon5/Startrek/whatever ships in the game? Facing 7 Millenium falcons in dogfight.. ridiculous.

"Destroy space station" -missions. Instead of one station, there is three! It looks stupid when there is 3 space stations in a neat line. :p

When targeting a Vorlon (Babylon 5 crap?) battleship there reads: "Vorlon battleship, a force to be reckoned with" or something. The worst thing is that the ship doesn't stand for its name.

Those are the main things I wanted to point out. To make the mod perfect I'd remove the starwars/whatever ships and replace them with self-made ones. Needs bit imagination though.

It usually means that the version of Freelancer that yoy have on your computer doesn't match the one on the server.

Try reloading the 3.5 Beta full to a clean reload of Freelancer with no mre than SDK 1.3 on board.

Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:31 pm by Ro9ue

I don't know why the thread keeps dropping and then reappearing... weird. I see it all the time, though - never saw it drop. :-?

Hey guys,

Regarding the disappearing thread thing, use the "Active Topics" link instead of the "Forums" link, then scroll down the the Rebalance Mod section, it's almost always visible there.

Good luck

I Only have a question what's the best ship, weapons, and equipment And where do you find them? thanks

"Life Hates Me..... So I Hate Life!!

Mon Feb 07, 2005 7:44 pm by Ro9ue

Heh, well, there's the question, huh?
I am going to say that there is no "best" ship. It totally depends on your playing style: if you prefer big ships, big guns, heavy armor/shields and heavy maneuerving to match, there is no shortage of "uber" Heavy anf Very Heavy Fighters to be found - too many to list, so take a look around

- If you are more into freight and trading, there are also many decent freighters to be found. And if you're a light fighter person (as I am), the best ship is probably the X-9 Ghost, available on Pueblo Station, CO. The ship is small, freakishly fast, has Hyper (super engine-kill

faster than tradlanes), and mounts some pretty mean firepower. Give it a shot if you like LFs.

Heh, and weaps. There is also NO shoratge of dang uber weapons, from level 7 on up. Heck make that 3 - the Poison (light mass driver) is pretty crazy for a leve 3 weapon.
This one, my friend, is one that you will need to just try all the ones you come across to see what suits your tastes and you ship's equipment best. There ain't no special loadout to speak of -- all up to you and your style

I know most people would complain that this kind of post isn't any help at all - it just frustrates them even more because there are apparently some nice ships/weapons out there but they don't know what/where they are. But I see it more as a tip to just cruise around and try new things when you come across them.
Hope this helps

Ro9ue

i have to agree with ro9ue, i find it nice to have 2 torpedo lasers and mach weapons to them with maybe two slower weaps. however i also find that the raven claw is one of the greatest fighters, along with the wrath. these i found just running around exploreing the mod when i frist came accross it, however i do think the torpedo lasers mixed with the reaver is the most compatable match. maxed out on the shield, armor and power plant. not to mention the engine. i know this is probly more info then i should have said, but iam just trying to help.

also ro9ue, i was wondering if i could try to e-mail you specs for a ship i got. however i cant send pics or anything except text, from the mentle image i got its well worth the work.

something happened when i docked my ghost in one of the bases outside of planet new york. it morphed into a severed cockpit of some ship. what thehell's with that?

Mon Feb 14, 2005 1:03 pm by archkaine

Heya Elreicht,

A few things that I'll need to know so that I can try to track down your problem:

First, what base did you dock at? Also, which of the Rebalance mods were you using? Which patches, if any, were applied? Did you recognize what cockpit you ended up with? (if so that will help me check if there's some conflict in the CMP or MAT files). Oh yeah, is it repeatable? IE, can you do it again? Or is it something that only happened once?

The more info that you can provide, the more likely that someone can fix it.

In any case I'll go and grab a Ghost (though the things are WAY too hyper-maneuverable for me personally

), and see if I can duplicate your problem. If so, I'll go in and fix it, then send the corrected files to Ro9ue to incorporate, or provide them somewhere for people to incorporate themselves.

I hope I can help,
ArchKaine
