Title: OP SFCx Test Server
Post by: IndyShark on March 22, 2003, 11:46:53 am
Since this is a test server, can we add the OP+ shiplist to the SFCx OP test server please?

Thank you!

Plus of switching SFCx's Test server to OP+ shiplist:
No swapping for those who love your work Firesoul.  Can enjoy the nifty ships when both online and offline

Con of using Firesoul's beautiful work on SFCx's test server:
We don't know if the darn D2 works with everything basically stock anyway.  Why add more potential problems by using his massive work.  Let's get D2 working properly first, then start making OP+ servers...

I've been on the server several times and I have been the only person on line. Since I'd prefer the OP+ shiplist, I hope the other die hard OP players would give it a try!

To be honest...
I think the OP+ shiplist will now work flawlessly with the D2.

I found and fixed the crippling bug from the last version... .. shipedit will actually create "n.5" entries for crew. The D2 panics a bit on that, and thus the spacedock breaks.

Edit/PS: Testing on Single-player D2 for many weeks worked flawlessly with (back then) unreleased version of this patch.

BTW, can we lower the repair parts and drone costs while we are at it! Reload drones cost more than ships in some cases!

why? .. you start with 5000 BPV and the ships cost 1:1 prestive:BPV.
.. feh.

After buying a few ships and more than a few fast drones, I am almost out of PP! I just bought a NCM with the last of my pp.

repair and drone costs are too high!

The SFCX server IS a test server. I hope people are using it to test things like defense value results from missions, since those are the changes made in the test server kit. Why worry too much about what ships you're using? As for costs, you could email Castrin and ask -- he doesn't always see every thread.

The server seems to be working quite well. All of the missions are working as intended and defense values go up and down as they should. I have not had a wingman, so I can't comment on coop missions.


As far as ships are concerned, some ships are more fun to play than others. Have you ever tried to take a base station with a F-POL+?

Nuff said!

Sirgod, I would love to fly with you, but that's a bit late for me. I have to get up early tomorrow for a trip to Houston. I'll be gone all week, but perhaps we can hook up next weekend.

BTW, I remember flying with you before. It was a blast and I am looking forward to doing so again!
