Crossfire Story


Chapter 1


A few months ago a Rheinland explorer found a new Jumpgate to a hidden system in Omicron Alpha. When they entered this system the first time they were shocked. It was the main reason for the rising Nomad activities in the whole Sirius sector. Containing one planet and over 20 Jumpgates to Nomad systems, Liberty systems, Borderworld systems and many unknown systems it's a major threat for all houses. Rheinland, Liberty, Kusari and Bretonia decided to send their fleets to get this system under their control. But the nomads were already waiting for them... hundreds of ships got destroyed and the whole Kusari fleet is still missing after they were chasing a Nomad battleship. But finally it was a victory and the Nomads had to leave. Because of this massive fight above the planet it is now called Crossfire. A few weeks after this important victory the houses decided to colonize the unknown systems. But because of the Outcast in the neighbourhood these stations and planets are under permanent attack.


Chapter 2


Incoming transmission from the Kusari Fleet: "We are under attack by nomad forces... we need help our position is 12.*)"'12*33... who ever can hear this please help us" The Kusari Fleet is still out there and under attack by nomad battleships and gunboats. The Fleets spread out to find a hidden system called Death Valley and to rescue the Kusari. Meanwhile in the Nephele System a new Sleepership was found which looks the same way the old alliance sleeperships looked like. Scientists entered the wreck to explore it and to have a look at the ship database. "Russian language?!?!... it's a coalition ship"


Chapter 3


The nomad battle: Even with reinforcements coming to Death valley the Kusari are not able to destroy the Nomad armada... the fights already last several weeks now. Only a single Kusari fighter has found a way through the blockade in Death Valley and managed to deliver a disk which was found in an unknown wreck to the security forces on Planet Crossfire. Local scientist analize the datafiles now. The Sleepership: This ship has a coalition origin.. but what is it doing here? It is allready a few hundred years old and it seems like it got attacked. Maybe the database is showing more information and maybe some guys in the new systems have heard some rumours.

New Ships:

Ragnarok Gunship

Cargo Space: 360
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 71/71
Optimal Weapon Class: 9
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

The 'Ragnarok' is a ship that blends the lines between Gunboat and Fighter. It is an Esthar design, a workhorse vessel designed to carry equipment and cargo; It's two huge engines producing a massive amount of thrust, and it's variable geometry giving it unparalleled manevuering for a ship of it's class. However, it's heavy armour, potent weapon systems and trademark gauss rifle lend it more than mere survivability, it can duke it out with the best of them and lend serious firepower to any wing or fleet it flies with. As a result this ship excels in a Command vessel role, capable of staying at the back of the fray lending punishing firepower without flinching.




Shroud
Guns/Turrets: 6/0
Armor: 9700
Cargo Holds: 130
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 65/65
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

Local scientists have found the plans of several historical ships. One of these Ships was the light fighter Shroud. It was not possible to decode all information about the historical weapons, engines and thrusters because somehow parts of these plans got lost. Therefore some engineers came with the idea to mount modern VHF equipment on this ship. The result is a very agile and deadly fighter.




KuM "Komodo Dragon" Very Heavy Fighter
Gun/Turret Mounts: 6/2
Armor: 12100
Cargo Space: 100
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 80/80
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

After the Nomad Wars, the Border World pirates began taking adcantage of the weakened state of the House police and military forces. Already under constant bombardement from the Blood Dragons and Golden Chrysanthemums, the Kusari Military drew upon the technology of some of their defeated invaders, and produced a new fighter to keep their economy and citizens safe.


The Komodo Dragon, just like its namesake, has a ferocious bite that will inflict certain death. Six forward-firing weapons and two 360 degree-firing turrets make sure of that. Powerful engines and good blancing keep the controls light, despited its bulk. All this combined with a generous cargo hold, make this a ship prepared not only to go into any battle, but also to stay and hold the front lines for as long as needed.

M13 Class "Deimos" Corsair Very Heavy Fighter\n\n\nShortly after a Corsair expedition found the drawings and the wreck of this old fighter on Planet Pygar, production commenced in Tripoli Shipyard. Until now, only one ship has been produced by the original drawings, and analyses shows thats this ship was not designed inside Sirius, and can be the remains after a Coalition experimental ship that landed on Planet Pygar with the drawings shortly after pursuing the Hispania sleeper ship. The ship performs beyond any Sirius-disigned ship, with extreme armor and power rating, great cargo space and fabulous offensive and defensive capabilities. This ship is shortly: the Real One.

Armor: 2600
Cargo Holds: 50
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 21/21

Additional Equipment: CM, CD/T(2)

The most impressive warship ever constructed, this Ship carries more firepower than some entire battlegroups from previous eras.

Even with the guns alone, it can simultaneously engage several cruisers worth of firepower, and come out alive.

BDR-337 'Defender' Liberty Heavy Fighter

Max Batteries/NanoBots: 70/70

Max Batteries/NanoBots: 70/70
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10

Armor: 11500
Cargo Space: 80
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 68/68
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

As the Rheinland shipwrights deviate from the standard form and function of their fighters, they are realizing greater and greater gains in performance, and power. Not as pretty a sight as the Valkyre, but far more deadly in the hands of Rheinland's forces.




FRL-96z Liberty "Interloper" Heavy Fighter

Armor: 7100
Cargo Space: 60
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 43/43
Optimal Weapon Class: 6
Max. Weapon Class: 8
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

Designed out of necessity, rather than want, the Interloper was born as a heavy scout class, that sacrifices 1 gun, and 1 turret for more armor, while retaining its agility. It can scout areas that light fighters wouldn't stand a chance in, and it does it in style. A great step forward for Liberty, and a hole in their technology tree plugged.




GTz-"Enfilade" Pirate Very Heavy Fighter
Gun/Turret Mounts: 6/1
Armor: 12600
Cargo Space: 70
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 71/71
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10

Independant "Rage Bringer" Very Heavy Fighter
Gun/Turret Mounts: 6/1
Armor: 12600
Cargo Space: 75
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 77/77
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

The Independant designed Rage Bringer was created to stem the flow of red ink for the traders, and corporations. Too many losses were being incurred due to the ever growing strength of pirates, so the Rage Bringer was born. It is a big, yet sleek ship, with loads of power, guns, and armor, which makes it a deadly foe indeed.




Corporation "Silverfish" Very Heavy Fighter
Gun/Turret Mounts: 6/1
Armor: 10450
Cargo Space: 80
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 63/63
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

The Silverfish is a corporate defense fighter, and also an offensive weapon when scouting new fields or systems for resources. It has everything a combat pilot could want, and some that a merchant wouldn't mind, either. It has an increased cargo bay, but a little less armor.




BR-11 "Marauder" Heavy Fighter
Gun/Turrets Mounts: 5/0
Armor: 6200
Cargo Space: 45
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 43/43
Optimal Weapon Class: 6
Max. Weapon Class: 8
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

The Bretonia Marauder is the newest from Bretonia's ship engineers. It deviates from the rounded, plump design to a sleeker, more efficient and hard to hit design. It is only in limited testing now, and she is proving herself so far. Good agility, good armor, smaller hold, make this ship worth flying.




Ceptyr Very Heavy Fighter
Gun/Turrets Mounts: 6/0
Armor: 12400
Cargo Space: 70
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 70/70
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10

Armor: 12000
Cargo Space: 75
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 70/70
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

The Scourge creates yet another example of the innovation and drive of the civilian engineers. Not satisfied with limiting pilots to the Eagle, they created the Scourge as a viable alternative. It is bulkier than it's brother, but flies remarkably well, and fights like the devil, making this ship a sure bet in the hands of a good pilot. As a side note, it also handles a decent bit of cargo, making it a profitable ship as well.




Independant "Seething Fury" VHF
Gun/Turrets Mounts: 6/0
Armor: 11000
Cargo Space: 70
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 70/70
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

The Seething Fury is all about space combat. It was designed to give every possible advantage to its pilot, with technology that is superior in design and function. The creator of this ship used concepts from Borderworld craft, and Kusari craft to meld into a deadly machine.




Outworld "Shifter" Prototype 1
Gun/Turrets Mounts: 5/1
Armor: 8700
Cargo Space: 50
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 55/55
Optimal Weapon Class: 6
Max. Weapon Class: 8
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

The Shifter is an odd looking ship, but was VERY effective in all field tests thus-far. Being that the cockpit is mounted side-saddle, the theory behind it was to "fake" enemy pilots, and cause them to miss shots, which it did well. Rumors abound of an upgraded, two-man VHF version of the Shifter 1 coming soon!




Bullpup MkI
Gun/Turrets Mounts: 5/0
Armor: 8400
Cargo Space: 60
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 60/60
Optimal Weapon Class: 6
Max. Weapon Class: 8
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

A throwback to old designs, the Bullpup is a stout ship nevertheless. No engineer has claimed responsibility for the design, but many factions are seeking to use the ship for their armadas.




Bullpup Mk II VHF
Gun/Turrets Mounts: 6/0
Armor: 12000
Cargo Space: 80
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 70/70<
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

A throwback to old designs, the Bullpup is a stout ship nevertheless. No engineer has claimed responsibility for the design, but many factions are seeking to use the ship for their armadas. This is the next step in the Bullpup series.

Max Batteries/NanoBots: 120/120
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/T

A throwback to old designs, the Bullpup is a stout ship nevertheless. No engineer has claimed responsibility for the design, but many factions are seeking to use the ship for their armadas. This is the last step in the Bullpup series. This attack Freighter has a frightening amount of guns, plenty of power and a cargo hold to haul in the riches. A very stable ship, able to defend itself as well as it hauls cargo. This model uses a pilot and 2 co-pilots OR robots/androids to fill the roll.




Hydra Mk III VHF
Gun/Turrets Mounts: 6/0
Armor: 12900
Cargo Space: 60
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 70/70
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/Tx2

This is the precursor to the bomber class. Little slower, but with more armor, and an extra torpedo slot, the Hydra is a very mean ship. Able to take out Capital Class ships by itself or easily with an escort force. This ship is not to be taken lightly!




"Elder" Prototype Capital Ship Killer
Gun/Turrets Mounts: 4/0
Armor: 9000
Cargo Space: 35
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 65/65
Optimal Weapon Class: 8
Max. Weapon Class: 10
Additional Equipment: M, CM, CD/Tx2

An extreme prototype design, being tested now. The "Elder" is a very strange ship, designed solely to take out Cap Ships. It has a devestating forward gun, along with 4 regular gun mounts, and twin torpedo launchers. Capital Ships don't stand a chance against this ship.

Armor: 11300
Cargo Holds: 350
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 140/140
Optimal Weapon Class: 9
Max. Weapon Class: 10

Max Batteries/NanoBots: 40/40
Optimal Weapon Class: 6
Max. Weapon Class: 8

Under permanent pressure of Corsairs, Royal Armed Forces needed a craft able to fight them in harder spaces of Border Worlds. Wielding terrific firepower, Champion is a last guardian of Bretonia there, where other ships never dare to enter.


Nomad Interceptor
It's not much known about this new ship... which is mostly because not many pilots survived their first contact this powerful and agile fighter. \nSurvivors reported that this are short range fighters which operate from big strike carriers.

What is Crossfire?


Crossfire has advanced graphic & sound settings which will make the gameplay much more interesting. Additionally you will able to explore over 35 additional systems with more than 40 dockable stations and planets. Clans will be able to buy their own clansystems. We also made changes on the multiplayer gameplay. Freighters will find very good traderoutes with high profits and pirates will be able to loot these freighter pilots while the fighter pilots wont loose any equipment when they get killed. The result will be massive fights... pirates vs freighters and fighters vs pirates. This is stable, bug free version and has been optimized for Singleplayer and Multiplayer games so that the game play is most enjoyable without any annoyances. We have installed the latest anti-cheat and anti-hack software and added the 1.1 Server patch to preserve the integrity of the game, minimizing the problems of the original FreeLancer on multiplayer.
