Crossfire
What is Crossfire?
Crossfire is the most complex mod for Freelancer. It was designed to show what possibilities and features are still possible in Freelancer.
Crossfire has very advanced graphic & sound settings which will make the gameplay much more interesting. The gameplay is very balanced and challenging.
Additionally you will able to explore over 60 additional systems with more than 100 dockable stations and planets. Clans are able to buy their own clansystems and manage those like they want.
There are high profitable traderoutes which change due a dynamic economy. Also the world of Crossfire is changing alot since the mod is build to create random events such as invading Nomads and Dom'kavash or solar interferences which disturb the travel in some systems. Crossfire is an expanding world that is always in development. New systems appear and can get explored. New ships are build. New equipment is going to be developed. Everything is changing to guarantee a long time of pleasure and action.
The Crossfire mod comes along with very special featues which isn't very surprising because since years it is the Crossfire mod and its development team which introduced a very high amount of new features and concepts to the Freelancer community.
The Crossfire server (24/7 SWAT Crossfire) is one of the most active Freelancer Servers out there. It is a very cool RP server with various of the traditional Roleplay types such as being Police, Pirate, Trader, Smuggler, Merc or Military. Beside this traditional Roleplay the Crossfire server offers another very big and favorite Roleplay variation called ASF vs CSF. Two opposing factions which fight each other at all costs. The server automatically notices roleplay activities and calculates the scores between those factions. Depending on how the fights did develop it is possible that the systems automatically change their ownership from ASF to CSF or from CSF to ASF.
The Crossfire mod itself comes along with the most advanced cheat protection that has been developed for Freelancer. Also our serversided tools are very special and offer many new features for the players.
It doesn't surprise that the last version of Crossfire has been downloaded more than 32.000 times on the SWAT Portal and about 75.000 times on Lancersreactor so far.

Storyline:
Chapter 1
A few months ago a Rheinland explorer found a new Jumpgate to a hidden system in Omicron Alpha. When they entered this system the first time they were shocked. It was the main reason for the rising Nomad activities in the whole Sirius sector. Containing one planet and over 20 Jumpgates to Nomad systems, Liberty systems, Borderworld systems and many unknown systems it's a major threat for all houses. Rheinland, Liberty, Kusari and Bretonia decided to send their fleets to get this system under their control. But the nomads were already waiting for them... hundreds of ships got destroyed and the whole Kusari fleet is still missing after they were chasing a Nomad battleship. But finally it was a victory and the Nomads had to leave. Because of this massive fight above the planet it is now called Crossfire. A few weeks after this important victory the houses decided to colonize the unknown systems. But because of the Outcast in the neighbourhood these stations and planets are under permanent attack.
Chapter 2
Incoming transmission from the Kusari Fleet: "We are under attack by nomad forces... we need help our position is 12.*)"§12*33... who ever can hear this please help us" The Kusari Fleet is still out there and under attack by nomad battleships and gunboats. The Fleets spread out to find a hidden system called Death Valley and to rescue the Kusari. Meanwhile in the Nephele System a new Sleepership was found which looks the same way the old alliance sleeperships looked like. Scientists entered the wreck to explore it and to have a look at the ship database. "Russian language?!?!... it's a coalition ship"
Chapter 3
The nomad battle: Even with reinforcements coming to Death valley the Kusari are not able to destroy the Nomad armada... the fights already last several weeks now. Only a single Kusari fighter has found a way through the blockade in Death Valley and managed to deliver a disk which was found in an unknown wreck to the security forces on Planet Crossfire. Local scientist analize the datafiles now. The Sleepership: This ship has a coalition origin.. but what is it doing here? It is allready a few hundred years old and it seems like it got attacked. Maybe the database is showing more information and maybe some guys in the new systems have heard some rumours.
Chapter 4
A way to our old home, the earth, has been found again but there is no life anymore. The colonies are destroyed, earth is empty and everything looks like the nomads have something to do with it. The houses try to recolonize the sol system now and find out what has been going on. Maybe the databases of the old science centers on earth can tell us more about the history of sol and where the missing coalition fleet is.
Chapter 5
The Coalition, we never thought that we would see them again but we were wrong. Before Earth got destroyed they managed to launch their three sleeperships. Two of them have found their way to the Altair sector and now we are at war with them again. Will this never end?
Chapter 6
The return of the Dom'Kavash was a heavy strike back for the Coalition and the houses of Sirius. The Dom'Kavash territory is growing with the support of the Nomads and Coalition is close to a destruction. Nobody knows where those ships come from or how to survive their attacks. We have only one chance... forget the rivalities of the past and unite with the Coalition and fight together. This is the only way to survive the biggest threat that the mankind has seen.
Chapter 7
Not long ago a giant fleet of Coalition ships broke through a heavy Dom'Kavash blockade and discovered a hidden hypergate. A large group of fighters entered this hypergate but never returned. What is on the other side? This is a question that hardly can be answered. All tries to through failed and Dom'Kavash motherships constantly jump through this gate to Altair. Only the united forces of the houses and the coalition might be able to find out what is going on there.
