1000K barrier

[Seth Karlo]

Yes, it is possible to change the value. No, it will never happen.


...and no, it is NOT possible to fly between systems in that way. If a mod has achieved it, please provide me with a link, because as far as I know it's completely impossible unless you rig up invisible jump gates around the entire system, or you make all of Sirius one MASSIVE system.

I don't see how my spelling is relevant to anything.

Go see an oculist. When you are trying to be a smartass, try to be smart, not just ass.

And that's all space that the server has to monitor, regardless of how empty or populated it is

Oh, really? So you think that all that empty space sphere with radius of 1000K is here just for some unknow neason while it could easily be lowered to sphere with 200K radius resulting in... let me think...

Sphere with 200 radiums means 33510322 units of space in it while sphere with 1000 radius means 4188790205... soooo...

You're suggesting that they dont decrease the space "server need to monitor regardless of how empty or populated it is" by ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE (125) TIMES just so a few people could chase each other up to 1000K away which we see from this thread never happens?

Guess you feel insulted so you decided to troll?

Oh dear. MOMMY, I HAVE TROLLS UNDER MY BED! Consider this - sometimes people don't troll when they make a hint that you're trying to be a smartass failing the "smart" part.

Seth, one question. Why?

Ah, and this:

Maybe it's just a simple beaming people from one system to another when they reach some fixed distance? After all, destroying a ship at some distance seems possible. Oh, i don't know.

Why is it possible to change the value? Because it is? Strange question.

Why is it not possible to fly between systems? Because Freelancer is created around a central engine that creates each system individually. We do not have the source code, and as such cannot edit that game engine. It is impossible to do without the source code.

If you are suggesting you can do it via FLhook, yes, I suppose it would be possible with something like

Player Ship>450k from system center.
.beam Player Ship>450k from next system center.


But it would create enourmous strain on the server core, and I wouldn't suggest it as a viable solution.

This.

You mean beaming would create this strain or constand checking for all players for this Player Ship variable? Oh well, one more question - does the destroying ship at 1000K distance happens due to FLHook with the similar checking or it's just a vanilla game feature with changeble value?

I hope it shortens down to 700k or something. It is very tiresome to chase someone that far.

I think the lack of civility in this thread, and the lack of the source code, makes this entirely pointless.
