Trading info
Hey all,
Just got back into FL again after spending too much time playing BF1942. Sorry about that.
Here's a question that probably sounds like a noob question, but you're going to read it anyway. Is there a way to trade map information with other players in MP? I am pretty sure there isn't, but thought I would pose the question anyway. I know that NPCs often offer to sell information on a particular station, planet or jump hole, so I was wondering if it was possible for players to do the same.
At the very least, it would be nice to be able to provide all the base information to a player who has explored the entire universe but needed to create a new character for whatever reason. Prevents them from having to fly around and visit every single base and find every single jump hole again.
And again, obviously all the actual information and coordinates are freely available on the internet (and this site), but the idea would be to be able to transfer the actual information in-game, so that commodity prices, jump hole locations and so-on actually show up on the other player's map.
Again, I'm pretty sure it's not possible...but it never hurts to ask. Wait, scratch that...in this forum, sometimes it DOES hurt to ask. I hope this isn't one of those times...
