2 questions

Playing MP

1). I tried to jump to Magellan through the New York > Magellan gate. The gate was green but they refused me access. I was able to jump through the California > Magellan gate with no problems. Any ideas why I couldn't use the green gate in NY?

2). Is there a toggle to turn off the view of your ship? I would like to try playing the game seeing all the controls and HUDs but not look at my ship. I've seen game screenshots like that but can't seem to find the control. Does it exist?

Thanks much,
Rich

Answers.

1. The gate is closed in MP. The most likely explanation is that it's a plot device and it wouldn't right to have it used in MP.

2. Press ctrl+v and you'll switch to the cockpit view. Be forewarned, it probably isn't what you expect. The HUD doesn't change.

I don't see the problem with having the Magellan gate unlocked...But saying that, it IS suppsoed to be out-of-use.

in multiplayer, the magellan jump gate is locked. it's green because the jump gate belongs to the Liberty Navy.

there is probably a moded server around somewhere that has it accesseble to use.

I'm pretty sure servers that use the Evo 1.28 mod allow you to use that gate. Probably because it is part of the mod.

Thanks for the replies. If the gate is supposed to be locked then so be it. I wondered if there was something I was supposed to do in order to gain access. The fact that it was green threw me. I was able to get to Magellan through California. I'll try the ctrl-v trick. I just wanted to see what it was like to fly without seeing my own ship.

I always wanted to know what accident happened at Benford for the accident. It never said anywhere in any rumores at any station.

Sorry to use this but i really need to test my sig. thanks. and there is a mod. the server i play on used to run it, but people were making to much money from Yangi Depot-Planet NB (theres a JH between then).

There's a designated thread for signature testing, although i do admire your cropping skills. As for the incidnet at Bedford, there was an accident at Ithica, and the stations were abandoned. What more is there to say? I could give you my speculations, but any more would be a spoiler. And the Magellan gate is used in the plot, if there were any doubts out there, so it'd be closed like the Tekagi's Arch system or Alaska. --- Vh16

@ outcast 1-1 cool ship can you mod it???

@ the rest how can it be that if you enter tohoku to Tegakis Arch if it's opened by using mods you also can't dock with that blood dragons base why not that's not closed??????????

Post Thu Sep 09, 2004 12:59 pm

It's a spoiler, but you can never land on the blood dragon base, so it's folder and stuff was never created. You'd have to write all the data for it, which wouldn't be that hard for a modded server, but it would take someone going out of their way to tinker with it. --- VH16
