So we can rule out SQL or the shiplist causing it.
I replaced all the gf files on the Litterbox with the DOE GF files. And then ran the server, and guess what??
It didn't crash.
So, we have now narrowed the problem down to a server setting. (Fluf's fault... LOL!!) Which one, I have no idea because nearly all the settings are different.
Don't be too alarmed if some of the ship prices, spare parts, turns per year are a bit off at the moment. They'll be fixed shortly as they are all set to the Day of the Eagle specs currently. (Yes, that means for now you can blame Scipio for any problems!! Mwuhahahaha!!)

The errant gf file (I say this tentatively) appears to be metamap.gf, when I replaced the Litterbox metamap.gf file into the server, it crashed straight away. I may have missed a setting somewhere when editing the gf files to Litterbox specs, so if there is anything erroneous at all, please post it here.
Oh, thanks to FireSoul putting up a chat server, chat is now working on Litterbox 3.

I'll try and amuse myself with something else until then. I had finished yet another harrowing mission in an F5C this morning, gotten my obligatory 300 PP and that's gone all for naught again. heheh...

Note: you now have mandatory missions in neutral space. We can change that if you would like to see non-mandatories in neutral.

Can someone tell me where one can get the latest updates please? Jumped in a few days ago to check the shiplist and now of course changes have been made giving me my favorite CRC errors. I'll sit around till everything is working - till then i'll keep having a ball with Freelancer.
Laflin the original dowload is down right now. We exceeded our bandwidth. Got to the same thread and if you already had the download, run the reinstaller that Rajnsaj has posted and it will revert you back to the original shiplist. Or just make a copy of your original shiplist, run the installer and then put your original shiplist back in both your specs file and your MetaAssets file.
The original download is still on SteelClaws site , which is posted in that orginal thread. Any new players, just copy your shiplist and put it on your desktop. Then download the installer from SteelClaws site and run the exe. Then copy your original shiplist back in and you should be good to go.

Well, let's see
F-CL
Hull CL
2x phot
6x P-1
2x P-3
30 power
Shields
16
12
10
12
K-F5C
Hull FF
2x dis-3
2x Drone-a
2x P-1
3x P-2
1x amd 6
22 power
Shields
26
20
16
16
In early with slow drones 2 a-racks are not going to make much difference . Klingons don't get anything with 6 P-1 Until mid era.(unless one of the dreads has more...)
I stated the F5C is the best thing in it's size for the Klingons, you don't like the CL, but you do have better ships avaliable in early. For us the F5C is the only thing flyable in the starting range.
Anyway, ship to ship, I'll take the Fed CL at 100 early VS an F5C and win more than I'll lose. True it's not a great ship, but it could be much worse..... And I'm not very good at PvP.

PS thanks for your efforts on the new servers!!!!

I thought the F-CL had 4 photons and the DD had 2 but you're probably right about engine power not being equal. It would be hard to charge 4 photons with 19 power!!!
Post by: FireSoul on April 21, 2003, 01:26:34 am
The DD is a more modern saucer styled ship, and has 4.

eeek.... I guess I'd have to change my opinion then... The CL seems more managable.

Me too...I think. Haven't flown an F-CL in ages.
I just hate early era. To understand everything I say early on about a server, you must take that into account.

I would take the FFG over the DD or CL. I would take the DDG over just about anything until the CLC comes out.

I have enjoyed my time in a Z-DD on LB3. The unfortunate thing is that I can't seem to feel right about flying Mirak when the Coalition is so badly outnumbered. I realize this isn't always the case...it just is when i'm on and I feel bad...heheh.
Generally, those few times I've been on and the Coalition has the upper hand, I'll go log in and fly Mirak. Still...the Alliance is winning the battle for the center and I always feel bad about contributing to that for some reason...heheh.

Thats something Ive been meaning to ask. What starting ship in early would the Feds rather start in. I almost made it the FFG, as it seems that most Feds downgrade to the thing almost immediately. I know both the DD and CL suck and the Feds dont have it easy in early era until about 2265 when the CC+ comes out.
Setting the FFG as the starting ship would make a whole lot of happy Feds. The DD and CL were barely decent SFB ships, but in realtime SFC, they're hopelessly outclassed in most cases, especially in Evil Dave missions. Both have fatal flaws that make them deathtraps in a 1-on-1 PvP against an equal BPV ship.

Well, in SFB, ships generally had a weakness. The Fed DD had lots of photons, but not enough power. It made moving backwords very popular. Without reverse, the DD lost a lot of it's SFC power.
The CL was based on an older design, but 6 p-1 at that price and 30 power... is nice. You need to use ECM and shield reinforcement to your advantage. For the BPV the the was a very good ship in SFB. I think it's a better ship in SFC than most give it credit. It's just harder to fly than the DDG or FFG. But with it's power curve and ability to take damage, it can be deadly at less that 100 bpv in early(repeat, In early).
The DDG is a great ship in SFC & SFB. Take a DD take away the power hungry photons and give yoiu missles(and/or add) and you have a winner. Shows EXACTLY the flaw in Taldren's G-rack.
