I have been thinking about this, as there is no point starting up a clan without a league. It would be like a car without wheels.

I am a player of mechwarrior:mercenaries war!online league (www.war-online.net to see what I mean). Basically this is run by seiging the worlds of other clans.

With the nature of multiplayer, this would be feasable, but some sort of mod would have to be created to show which planets/stations belonged to which clans. Obviously this is no easy task, and alot of development would have to go into this.

I am willing to start the ball rolling on this one. I have a basic knowledge C++, and a team will have together.

Keep posting...

Live fast... Die fighting

one step after step, let us first got our own tourney get done, after that lets see what comes next

though I like the idea of a league, should be 3x 2on2 I guess.
but the exact rules, which mods to use etc ... well we will see, let us first run some tests

ah btw is atm SE/WP, and we are for sure open for any suggestions, ideas or initiativ of the rest of the community, in other words, if someone create a league we would happy to join in the fun (you know we have to sleep sometimes aswell )

Ah, btw we are open for friendy wars anytime aswell, just contact us in our forums/hp´s to discuss the details.

Ah btw there is already a tourney/league system from good old Starlancer running that can be used for Freelancer aswell (At least for duelling)

That's not entirely true. Freelancer clans can be run like Everquest-style guilds, with members playing on one or two servers, helping each other out, exploring, taking missions etc.

It would be nice to see a clan-based mod though, for variation.

I sit corrected... I am now enjoying that sort of play with a few of my friends.

A league would be cool though. Battling for the control of planets and stations would be an experience not to be missed.

I've found a great place for some human v human conflict.

On the Smoke Jaguar server we were talking about this the other night and we thought that the Omega-5 system would be the perfect place... however at the moment it takes a bit of time to set up.

One side has to align themselves with the Corsairs and operate out of Cadiz, the otherside has align therselves with the Red Hessians and operate out of Ronneburg base. The Omega-5 is the perfect battleground, hell you even get the AI pitching in to help you against humans.. on both sides

A patch or mod that enabled this to be set up quicker would be just the ticket.

That would be nice. But an easier way to do taht would be to create an entirly new systesm, and create two different factions. Each faction would have the same number of bases, and area, and wepon platforms, and so on. PLayers would start of neutral, and which ever base they docked at first would be the faction that they join. It wound't take too much modding to do.

Great idea madcatmk8,

Lets hope that Digital Anvil just don't make a server side patch only, but also a client patch that addresses multiplay gameplay and offers stuff like we've discussed in this thread.

Failing that, lets hope some of the clever people who visit this board can make a mod that allows it.

Well, the best *mod* by DA would be a mod when players can build bases, wps and tls. Then it would be just a matter of clan's *bank accnt* and its protective power to arrange a place to operate from.

Let's dance[!

PS. And yes, a bunch of empty systems. Of course such mod would not be that simple.
