We had a topic about this before and I'm here to say we're up now! Currently, we're running two servers, one for Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory and the other for Freelancer. It's free to use, and if you want to get a say in new games to play, or other such matters, $5 a month gives you such influence. For details: For those who don't know about Enemy Territory, it's a free WW2 multiplayer FPS game. Server address is:
server name: It's not system intensive, and costs around 10 bucks to get. But, it's a really fun game and still looks great. I'll probably be on this one alot, so just drop me an IM. ------------------ [This message has been edited by ArchAngel (edited September 29, 2007).] |

Heh heh heh. I went on-line today. The first time I completely failed and got killed. I could not remember a thing about how to play. I couldn't get the free flight working. Plus I had taken a Level 2 job. I tried again, later, and completed my first mission. But I had forgotten about following the + when firing. So, at first, I was just firing away. It may take me a bit to resettle. |

haha, nice. I'll have to catch you online sometime. It'll be fun to fly a couple missions. Maybe a pirate raid once we get more powerful. Then, assemble a full attack force on Kusari space. ------------------ |

Wow. Freelancer looks great! It reminds me of EV Nova. I might buy a copy. ------------------ "Oh, bother," said the Borg. "We've assimilated Pooh." Open source, open mind. |

Ah, I miss the days of playing Freelancer with my friends. We had our own little consortium back then... | |

Well, I've been on a few times. My first time I saw Iron_Mike, but wasn't sure who that is. Other than that, I haven't seen anyone else. I've been flying a few missions. I really need to upgrade my ship. The battles are taking too long as I'm not doing enough damage per hit. Not sure how often I can get on. The real-time battles make it difficult to play while my family is awake. I think each time I have gotten on-line, my kid's have wanted to show me something or have me do something and I've had to tell them to wait until after the battle is over. One of them really wants to pilot a ship in a battle. I keep saying "No" as she really won't understand what to do. But I did let her pilot me back to a docking point. |

I go to check if anyone's on here and there. So far haven't run into anyone. Just running missions, and collecting weapons. I have enough to outfit a couple ships. So, anyone I meet, I can hook up with Drails, Scorpions, turrets, Counter measure droppers, etc. my next ship is gonna be a freighter and I'm gonna do trade runs across the galaxy. It'll also be good for pirating, if I can find someone who'd want to do raids with me. ------------------ |

I think it would be fun. If I can find a place to buy it online and just download, I'll get it installed tonight and maybe be on tonight or tomorrow. | |

Yeah, I may have to get it from Overstock.com. I would prefer to download it but I couldn't find it and the local Wal-Marts and Targets don't have it (I called about 3 of each). | |

MAN! I am having some AWESOME fun at Freelancer! I forgot how good that game is! I even convinced a few guys from work to buy it, hee hee! I've found a pretty lucrative trade route, (minimal threat) and I have a big freighter now with GUNS TO THE MAX!!! LOL! Stupid guys pulled me out of the warp tunnel thingy and were dead in under 20 seconds...ah, good times. Anyone care to join the Consortium of Constellations? Profits are up and I'm always looking for new, more lucrative trade routes (to run, have run and be protected on). |

ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002 |
I usually can do it thurs-sun, if I'm online. I end up going out and doing alot of things over the weekend. ------------------ |

MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005 |
I'll be on tonight. I went all out and got the frieghter and loaded up with the best guns i could find! I have all 10 slots of weapons full! | |
|
ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002 |
I bought a freighter, and a bunch of expensive goods, only to be destroyed. Never flew a freighter before and wasn't used to not being able to maneuvering. So, I scrapped what I could, bought a light fighter and trying to get my funds back. ------------------ |

excellent. Did you see the Freelancer standings sheet? http://www.otbclub.net/main/index.php?page=freelancestat&cookie=true There's a couple up there who cheated. I'm currently working towards getting my Eagle VHF. soo... what happened to all that cash you had? you didn't lose a big shipment did you? ------------------ |
|
|
MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005 |
According to the Freelancer website, you can only get to level 39 without cheating.  As for my cash, I lost 2 shipments and then sold everything to suit up a HF with the best guns I could find. I'm running some missions right now (although I haven't played in like a week) How did you get that leaderboard?? That's awesome!

ccgr put it up. It's pretty sweet to watch your pos on it. apparently Laz has been making some great freight runs... or... *raises eyebrow*
Just wanted to say how awesome I was. ------------------ |

MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005 |
Just for you  , I ran a few things last night...
No missions, just looking around and oops, fell into about 20,000 credits...right there by Manhattan too. Weird huh? |

ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002 |
I think it accesses the server database. anyhow, we'll have to do some more missions. Try some high-profile missions. We can hit the Reihnland and get some big bucks. Staying alive is a bit of an issue, though. What do you fly now? The civilian ships are actually pretty good. They have good turning radiuses. Very key. ------------------ |

MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005 |
I'd like to try a crack at making a leaderboard. Did you have to give them a password or anything to access the database? I stopped off in Liberty and picked up a Defender...I know there's better but it works for the time being. We really need to load up on Nomad Energy Blasters and attack some battleships!!!! |

ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002 |
yikes. Good ship for it's level, I must admit, but it's time you graduate. lol. we need to get you this ship: It's a bout 70k. Do a couple missions on our way to Kusari space, and one big trade run, we should be able to get you it. Don't worry, I'll cover you. If you're big into dodging and maneuvering, you should consider a Drake. ------------------ |

update!
I can't find any resources online about getting game stats for Freelancer...that's weird. I really want to know how they do that! |

oh no! the characters were wiped out? I think CCGR put in some anti-cheating thing, but we'll have to see.

that was highly upsetting and I'm not sure I'm gonna play now... ...just kiddin'! Anti-cheat software is NEEDED, but I'm surprised it didn't keep the characters. |

I was only on for about 20 minutes (I think), and with a HF, so I wonder if I get another freighter and do the same thing if I could potentially make more $/min than the Boron:Leeds run. And no, I was doing nothing with Diamonds...although there is a spot I want to try to mine them at.
