"The list of ideas" or "Devs, where are you"? - Justdiewhenever - 11-09-2014
Hello there, gentlemens!
Look, there's Crossfire 2.0 incoming, and DiscoDevCentre haven't made anything serious releases!
And look on the online rating! It was nearly 200 not far times ago, and now it's not more than 70 on sundays!
You must do something, Yes, freelancer it's an old game, really old, but you must do something or it can be 0.1 players per month soon!
There's the list of ideas, what could be useful in next updates development:
1. Old mortars effect:
How you can know, a lot of people wanna back old mortars effect, but how we can see, devs don't wan't to delete their new effect.
So, why devs won't add old mortars effect to new weapons? That's easy to make and won't take a lot of time. And it won't disrupt the balance. Just add them as "more powerful, but slower mortars", or add them to outlaw large factions, for example.
2. Nuclear weapons:
Maybe that's an old thread. But if you got bases creation by flhook, maybe it will be possible to make temporary fields? Yes, fields with radiation damage after nuclear exploses. Nuclear weapons can be really funny thing with an effect like "nuclear bomb in the vacuum" with long lifetime.
Make it, for example, creatable only on player bases, and make them powerful. Like "100% hitting chanse mortar and 80% if enemy uses flacks and disruptors".
3. Rockets nerf, it's completely useless!:
Current rockets nerf - must stupid thing what i ever saw in Disco!
Look, today this rockets are completely useless, if you're not with big rocket-mounted fleet! That's stupid and completely illogical.
Think about it!
- Flacks, they're killing rockets easily.
- Disruptors, they're killing rockets easily.
- Maneurous ship easily escaping from rockets.
- Damage of rockets really tiny.
- Limited amount of rockets on 1 ship.
There are 4 realistic punktes - 1, 2, 3 and 5.
But damage! Damage is TINY-TINY-TINY! And nobody will use rockets in 1x1 battle anymore.
That's stupid, seriously.
Just make more damage from rockets, and it will be cool again. Like in old good times.
4. New graphics:
Look at the Crossfire graphics and look on the Disco.
You will immediately see what needs to change and upgrade.
Thanks for the attention!

Most of people have old computer and their computer cant handle that graphics. Current graphics are not good but its enough for old computer users.
If you want crossfire effects then copy paste .txm files to discovery

"Most of people have old computer and their computer cant handle that graphics. Current graphics are not good but its enough for old computer users.

Lesser graphics set will help people with old computers.
Or just make a mini-manager with set "Mini-mortars effect".
Whatever basic graphics must be updated for all who can see them, not for one player.
"Not wishing to say all is well but it isn't a bad as it could be"
Yes, at this moment. But there was 200 players per day on disco. Not far ago.
"Also devs are not payed to do this .... Just remember that..."
That's too, but if they wan't to keep popularity high they might use some time for this.
And the listed ideas not from thread "make star citizen on freelancer engine", those ideas are possible to release.

yeah crossfire is really pretty but aside of that it's a mod that's filled with stupid stuff and impossible to play as swat operator has absolutely no idea what it is to give some freedom to his community. Some people complain the disco admins are intrusive, but trust me they're a joke compared to this guy.
We'll make our own stuff, at our own pace, but it'll be there and accessible to everyone.

Good to hear and yes, agreed about cross.
Whatever, rockets nerf - really awful thing! You need to make higher damage. Just damage. For caps.

About the rockets:
- Figure out how to not make everyone hostile around with that. Really. Please.
- Also, there are several ships that just VOWS to have double missile pod (vide: Manta). Why they don't have missiles anymore? Also, raise amount of missiles per weapon (double that).
About making game prettier:
- You have SWAG packs. Do not force other players to suffer on their old PCs.
- Note that making game OMG MORE HD will also affect the ping and server-client response. Short answer: no.
My own idea - shrinking Sirius:
- I would hereby ask about shrinking Sirius, to cut useless guard systems or even merge few of them - like Ellesmere and Alaska, because "West" of the Alaska is just empty and Ellesmere is just... small. Put Ellesmere's bases and that Bigger Badlands thing into the "Western" Alaska.

The devs do develop the mod at a rather slow pace, but yet again remember that these people do it for free at their free time.
Time is precious these days, remember that they are using theirs to let some other people have fun in a 11 year old game.
Crossfire is a nice mod, but it lacks in something Discovery has.
Patience is a virtue. Instead of waiting for the mod and not playing, log your fighter with your friends and raid something.

" You have SWAG packs. Do not force other players to suffer on their old PCs."
That's the reason to use lesser graphics in the options or making mini-manager.
"- Note that making game OMG MORE HD will also affect the ping and server-client response."
Not so critical for the server. There's a lot of examples in OMG MORE HD-mods.
"- I would hereby ask about shrinking Sirius, to cut useless guard systems or even merge few of them - like Ellesmere and Alaska, because "West" of the Alaska is just empty and Ellesmere is just... small. Put Ellesmere's bases and that Bigger Badlands thing into the "Western" Alaska."
They mustn't cut them. Better to make this system more useful for players, that's one. Not cut.
Never cut smth like this stuff.
"The devs do develop the mod at a rather slow pace, but yet again remember that these people do it for free at their free time."
Haven't anything againist it, but sometimes it's gotta be really slow.
"Patience is a virtue. Instead of waiting for the mod and not playing, log your fighter with your friends and raid something."
Weh. They're always busy at 90% of times. Or just don't want.
