Title: Best mod to start with?
Post by: hobnob1978 on March 26, 2003, 03:59:39 pm: Whats the best user mod to start with everyone?

I`ve downloaded FSport and it`s really good. I`m ready to continue from the end of FS2 so whats a good one to start with?

Post by: Liberator on March 26, 2003, 04:17:53 pm: Derelict is good, and it's small.

Warzone
TBP is exceptional, but is large.
Lightning Marshall is good but part 3 is 97 meg, and the single DL version didn't download right for me.

Post by: ChronoReverse on March 26, 2003, 07:05:04 pm: I dunno. Remember the three nodes in deep space where you have to escort ships across? (from FS1 when Vasuda was being annihilated) They were awfully close together and to say that's a lagrange point is pushing it since in deep space there are so many weak gravitational fields from so many sources. Those were huge nodes too.

When The Apocalypse Project and the Scroll of Atankharzim are released, they're definite takers, as well as Inferno.

Post by: Stryke 9 on March 26, 2003, 08:27:32 pm: Warzone was pretty good, but I have bad memories of having to kill a Lilith by inches in a Pegasus (the stealth fighter, right? I ain't played in a long time). Derelict was rough (I never got past the Haulian/Meridian mission, simply because freighters were apparently rated combat-worthy by a blind sociopathic retard who was trying desperately to get fired. A couple shots from one of those Lokis and that ****er was up like a Roman candle, and there were friggin' dozens of them)

Soo... Aeos Affair.:D

Chrono: Wrong thread.

:wtf: Since when is 50 missions small?

Unless you mean in download size. :)

I had to cheat several times in Derelict - the play balance was way off in several places. And there was way too much plot. But it's very interesting. Just long. :)

Post by: CP5670 on March 27, 2003, 01:15:51 pm: My personal favorite out of those is Warzone, as it has a good combination of all of the elements of a campaign without excelling in any one area. Derelict has a lot of bugs and play balance problems, but there are a truckload of missions to make up for that. :D

There can never be too much plot.

Post by: Goober5000 on March 27, 2003, 03:05:33 pm: I was imprecise. I meant that there were too many plot elements, too many complications crammed in. There wasn't one overarching theme.

I meant the total package. I had to DL the various elements separately. This is somewhat of a headache on dial-up.

it's not like you need all of it. Sure you won't have CBanis, cutscenes, voice acting, but you have the campaign :p

OOOPS! Just downloaded it. Please explain what is wrong...

Don't want to have to download this again!!!!!!!!

Post by: Liberator on March 28, 2003, 12:15:19 pm: Well, I DLed it from Fileplanet on Dial-Up using Flashget to manage it.

When I started the DL I was getting a speed of 16.XX on a regular basis. This tells me that there is either something wrong with the file or there something wrong with fileplanet as all my other DLs work correctly.

Post by: kasperl on March 28, 2003, 01:06:26 pm: i downloaded it, three times, each time, the vp's cause a total crash at the campaign room, both in FS2 as in FSO3.4 and FSO3.5.
