lol, im not disgruntled, re-read my post.
i didnt really care about player numbers as the primary goal was to fix the mod before going to advertise it.
and whats wrong giving you an interesting subject even if im not participating the discussion myself?
anyway, please just lock the post, discussion ...

@burn, zeus:
you dont seem to understand this has nothing to do with mods, just studies about communities/forums i found interesting and worth sharing/discussing, after all this is a community/forum.

@burn:
cant just leave your lengthy post uncommented, you actually call playing a game "work ...

edit:
@admins, please delete this thread if all that comes are childish posts like zeus whose iq is like -1. #-o

everyone has his opinion what went wrong.
imo the mod just needed more time to get fixed, all in all it had great improvements and new features for all types of players. im sure in due time with some advertising the player numbers would have reflected that. not to forget with the support of server ...

just passing this message from cmdrsaman:

I wouldn't like to see any of my work on the previous Void mods included in any future versions either. That includes the few retextures I've made, and any text I've written or edited. Sorry, Strail, but if you've decided to paint the mod as the scapegoat ...

at this time i dont want to see any of my work in another void mod. that includes things i've had my hands on like hardpointed ships etc. having plans for a different mod.
good luck with the void anyway, luke out.

since all have forgotten but you, can you explain what is the original idea of void exactly?
i could have the same fun now as back in the days but people have changed.

[quote="Salgy";p="230966"] Ok people. Enough is enough. Just few words: This is not the Void I always knew. This "semi-product" called mod is something terrible. Millions patches and updates, still a lot of bugs, thousands new ships without any sense /include graphics and storyline/.. and so on ...

just letting you know there will be one more update, which includes the formation fix finally. however after this the mod team will mostly go on a break and see if the mod is a success, so hopefully we can get more players and also staff online.

RC3 mod and ...

rebooting server box, all should be ok in few minutes.

[quote="Richi";p="230449"]Well, personally I understand reasons to shot the old Conqueror away. As you can read above, the Anubis is still here and the Apophis is a new model. Both are pretty ships.
The new Conq is nice ship and I like her. But a change of the Conq is highly radical.[/quote]
you are ...

the old conqueror was rubbish, ok the new model might be flat but its much better quality. send me a model that makes you all happy and it will be replaced, but the old is gone for good get over it.

@nomad:
waran is still there, mk2 now but still the same just a bit smoother.

@fireaters:
are you on vista or win7?

anyway, there is one method that has to work:
1. create a backup of your freelancer directory.
2. remove the .flmod extension from the mod making it .zip
3. extract the archive to your freelancer directory replacing existing files.
