Activity Tracker For Unofficial Factions

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 20:18:33 +0000

Have you always wanted your faction to be on the tracker list, yet didn't want to apply for the official status required to get your name a spot?

The Administration team has come to the agreement about opening up a few more features to be made available for the factions not pursuing the official status. The process to getting your faction on the list is quite simple.

All requests to be added should be turned in on the Player Requests subforum
List the faction name, faction tag, and any relevant links to your faction in the request.
A 5 000 000 credit fee is to be deducted - Include the ship name which the credits are located on.
Acknowledge that a minimum of 24 hours over a 3 month period is required to remain on the tracker.
Should you proceed and apply for officialdom, you will not be required to pay an additional 5m.

At the end of every quarter, we'll check the list to make sure that everyone signed up for this system is making their time quota.

Happy tracking.

Admin Notice: Power Plant missing

Sun, 30 Mar 2014 00:23:03 +0000

This is the place to post if your power plant is missing from your ship.
It is not a place to report it as a bug.

All we need to know to is:

Quote:Character Name(s):

Name of the base the ship is docked on:

Any additional information (What else was un-mounted):

Character name(s) are all the characters on the account or accounts that you're asking to be helped with, exactly as they appear on the server.

Do not post more than once about the same ship. We have lives too, and will try to get it fixed as soon as possible. This means, no bumps, no quotes. It makes the queue confusing and harder for us to deal with.

Admin Notice: Lost Characters or Accounts?

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 23:47:59 +0000

Old-Admin notice for future admins
DUE TO THE SPECIFIC NATURE OF SHIP BALANCE CHANGES, IT IS FORBIDDEN TO RESTORE INACTIVITY-WIPED SHIPS BY THE ADMINISTRATION TEAM. If you are forced to restore -anything- from a backup due to other reasons not related to this thread, double-check the .fl file for the correct engine and powerplant.

Gheis Notice for Unlucky Souls: Gheis hasn't been active in a very long time. You can PM me, but I won't ever read it. You're best off to look to a current Server Administrator for help.

RESTORING YOUR LOST CHARACTERS IN THREE EASY STEPS

Freelancer is an old game. Unlike today's titles where all of your progress is kept server-side and your account information is accessible anywhere via a simple login feature, we are stuck with what limits the game places on us. If you do not manually back-up your account information from your PC, there is a huge chance that sooner or later you can lose access to your progress.

It happens. We understand. This is the thread that will help you in those rare cases. All you need to do is to follow three essential steps to restore your accounts in the case of character loss.

~The administration team

STEP 1
Provide us with all the necessary information

The premise is simple. If you accidentally deleted a character, it will be restored from the last server backup. If you lost access to your account, your existing ships will be given a /movechar command code and you will be able to transfer them to your new account manually. Before you can do that:

Code:
[b]Character Names:[/b] names go here

[b]Reason for Restoration:[/b] explain what happened

[b]New Character Name:[/b] give us the name of at least one character on your new account

Example

First of all, you will need to copy-paste the form above and fill in the needed information. We are looking for the names of your characters. In the case of multiple accounts, try to provide the names of at least one character per account.

Secondly, tell us what happened that lead to the loss of these characters. Use this line to also specify whether or not these characters are shared between you and other members, or are they your own personal ships.

The third part is simple - create a single character on your new account and provide us the name. This will be used for verification purposes as well as where you will have money transferred from one of your characters for you to use the /movechar command.

Notice: Characters that have been lost due to inactivity wipe (read: have not been logged for 6 months) will not be restored.
The administration team may decline your request for character restoration in certain cases, for example: if we cannot fully confirm that the characters belong to you.

STEP 2
Wait for your request to be processed

Have patience. Restoration and retrieval of characters is a manual process and will be done by a Server Administrator. You will receive a Private Message regarding your particular case and will be given either the codes to the characters which you can then use to move them with or the further instructions in order to do so.

In the cases where the restored characters are the only ones the player has, the temporary ship will have some credits transferred to it from the lost characters, in order to allow the player to execute the /movechar command.

STEP 3
Ensure you do not need to ever use this thread again

Restoring lost characters is bothersome for both the player who cannot enjoy the game and the admin who has to look through logs and manually set up everything in order to process the restoration request. It only makes sense that it would be easier for both sides not to have to deal it in the first place. As such, the third and final step is simple:

PLEASE BACK UP YOUR ACCOUNTS

You can do so by following these steps:

Step 1: Go to your Discovery Freelancer Launcher and click the My Accounts tab.

Step 2: Click the ''Import/Export'' button and then "Export All Accounts" to your Desktop.

Step 3: Place the exported XML file on your USB Thumb Drive, Phone, Email it to yourself or place it on your Google Drive account.

To IMPORT the accounts simply go back to Step 2 and use the "Import DSLauncher Accounts" option and select your file from whichever location you placed it in.

Admin Notice: Account or IP Banned?

Sat, 08 Sep 2012 07:34:04 +0000

This is the place to post if YOUR ACCOUNT is banned.

Account issues only in this thread, please, with just your character names and any other information you may feel is relevant to your predicament.

One post will be sufficient, and it will be edited when there is progress on
your situation. Check the thread regularly. Anything else will be removed immediately.

Before you post:

Check here to see if you've been banned in accordance with a sanction.
Include your character names in your post.
If you modified your installation and got auto-banned, un-modify it (reinstall Discovery, and Freelancer itself if necessary).
If you cheated and you're here, stop cheating, or you'll keep needing to be here.
Do not post more than once about the same ban. No bumps, no quotes. It makes the queue confusing and harder for us to deal with.

Admin Notice: Can't get out of Connecticut?

Sun, 27 May 2012 21:05:29 +0000

If you're stuck in Connecticut for any reason post here.

Please note that the following player commands force FLHook to treat the ship as a new character as a result all Hook commands are erased from the player file, this means drawcash and return do not work. These commands are

/renameme
/movechar

If you do either of those in Conn you will not be able to return to your last docked location as the ships is effectively new and has never been outside Conn as far as Hook is concerned. There is no fix for this.

Note: If you move your character back to the account it originally was on and then /return, it will be moved back to the last base. It can be then moved again. If you have bought a ship which is on connecticut, simply send it back to the person so they can move it back. This won't fix renameme problems. (With thanks to spazzy for this).

If you buy a ship in Conn there will be no charge for this service, if however you ignore this message and use either of the two listed commands in Conn a fee of 15 million credits will be levied against your accounts. The Admin beer fund is getting low again.

Do not post here if your ship is NOT stuck in Conn. If you do a fee may be levied at our discretion.
