Freelancer - The Void

if i remember correctlly,NPC,s were reduced becouse of player claims "that NPC,s are laggin the server"

they were
well the battleships lagged the server in the house systems
maybe adding more npc but w/o the battleships..

ill see what can be done


i for one,dont like see server without npcs...

wow people -- you all dont read to well!!!

im not asking for increase npc when 25 35 or 50 players...im a pvp'r too -- im asking for increase npc when theres 10 , 6 , 2 players online !!!


yes -- there was a system here before that manage the npc to player ratio !!!

I dont know where it went or what it was...but it worked very well !!

and about doing missions...well yeah we can do missions but still it would be nice to see npc fly about , something to kill along the way , the random encounter of coming through a jump gate not knowing whats on the other side...npc battling it out amongst each other and jumping in and killing both sides ... these are lacking now !


and regardless of a new mod coming or not , when very few players online , npc would be nice to battle !!


and yes players complain all the time about lag...the point is this !

2 players online still no npc (unless u do a mission) !!  increase the npc activity when few players online , if it can be done again !!



as it is now it is dead out there in space  :-<

thanks for seeing whats up man !!

I agree with Sythe,all he is asking for is more NPCs when the server is less populated/unpopulated.

It is a fair deal.

When the new mod comes out,this may not be needed as most players would be busy in exploring the new mod.And that would mean less lag if any,while the mod is being tested during the initial phase.

Yeah, NPC's would be awesome to see back in the outer systems. I like being able to emerge into a good ol' blasting match between a few factions, especially the ones that used to be in Nomad 1

Scythe its ok, ill give you plentyy of action now

I have a simple schedule. ( for the evening, afternoon )

NPC = LAG
LAG = less players playing
lees players playing = bye-bye VOID

So we don`t want more NPC ).
I suggest less NPC activity during the evening because in the evening there are clan wars and we don`t like the fact that NPC are interacting with our wars.

More NPC in the morning would be a good ideea but not in the evening/afternoon.

[quote="SeLzAm";p="211665"]look, i know  back in the days on lancers reactor there was such a tool for "ionocross"  that managed that issue...but i really dont know if it is still available nor if its compatible with the voidmod...

but, u know, like in sithes original post...hes online when the server is totally "unpopulated" and therefor it would be a good thing to have some npcs to kill...as long as no1 is here doing pvp...look, if only 3 or 4 players are playing at a time, the chance that those ppl do some pvp is going to zero. so, in this case, it would be great if you could switch to red dot killing...but that isnt possible...

look. sometimes, i have the exact same problem...i usually play when nearly nones online...in the mornings or at late night...i think some ppl of my clan think im no longer active nvm, what i wanna say is: if noones online, u have next to nothing to do here...thats a fact

i have a suggestion: u could turn some "house systems" (like for ex...lol...lets say Dublin, Leeds, Texas or Alaska) into very npc-populated systems. also with hard-to-beat NPC's like Robots, Nomads etc. BECAUSE hardly no1 is using those systems....that way u could possibly satisfy booth groups...PVP enthusiasts and bored red dot killers...maybe worth a try

i have to admit that i have no idea how - and how much - lag it would generate...but i think it would be worth a try...just 2 cents from me[/quote]

Agree!

In my opinion, the best thing to make things less laggy is to kick those who are jumping like a flea all over the place or warping, and let them connect say, 30 mins later.

But all of them...

Yes. ALl off them. Or atleast the ones that are a bad case . I agree with Z here.

Cause im starting to get the idea that alot are doing this on purpose.

Like we had earlier. Banned lagging players. If they have a high ping and dont warp around, let them play. If they are warping around with or without any ping, kick or something.

NPC's? I havn't seen alot of them lately.
It is fun seeing the Nomads charge or getting charged by monkeys. Or a Train gets jumped by Liberty Rogues.

And what i liked the most, is the nomad fleet attacking monkey outpost lol.

Or, like me and wolfie back then attacking a Rheinland Battleship and his gunboat escorts. Gives you a break from the constant pvp-ing.

well zeus im not sure how it is when you play .. but there a very respectable pvpers when i play , all 1 has to say to someone is "hey man you jump around"  and the player normally reconnects .. no arguments no diresepct , we just want fun fair fights and if someone starts jumping its normally fixed with a reconnect....

just the other night i was fighting a 4S (sry i cant remember his name) --- but we fought in alex then moved to sparta , i mentioned he was a bit jumpy and before i could add anything else the man reconnected ... he came back and we fought a few more but it seemed the problem was not with him or me , it was in the server...wich has been acting up the past 3-4 nights...ask any1 who has been playing(pvp'n) then and tell you the same.

well man , i have to agree too ONLY if they are doing it on purpose , then yes kick them , warn them and if it persist then mayb bann for a few minutes or something....  i dont agree with any1who is laggin on purpose to win , its like cheating !



like you said annoyingnomad....the npc are not about , very rare to see them battling it up and attacking bases...


thats why i would like to see them again , and PLEASE understand me people , ONLY when the server is NOT FULL !!!


Im not asking to populate the server with npc's when its 50 players online !!!


thanks to all who replied and kept it on topic and flame free  :)
