I know for one that both Liten and Destiny both play Freelancer Discovery, and for the people who don't own this great game yet, it's quite a buy at for example Amazon ($9,99)

There are also weekly events in-game, such as an all-out battle between Liberty and Rheinland or other smuggling events between pirates and lawful forces.Ī few screenshots to show how the game looks like:Īnd a trailer from the previous version to boot! The official server of Discovery is a 100% roleplaying server, having 200 player slots and many player factions and independent players representing the NPC factions.

The mod itself is already much to awe upon, but it is the community in-game which makes the game so great to play. In the current version of the mod, the French have, in secrecy from the other five houses (Liberty, Bretonia, Kusari, Rheinland and Hispania), and are about to overrun both the British (Bretonians) and the Kusarians (Japanese/Asians). Let's say the French weren't happy about being totally abandoned by the Alliance. It adds a new NPC faction called Gallia, the people from the lost sixth French sleepership, which apparently was hushed up by Alliance officials. In the multiplayer game however, you start out as "just another pilot", given the same freedom as Edison Trent after his adventures, allowing you to pick your own faction and discover the universe.įreelancer Discovery is a mod like Shockwave was to Zero Hour, a mod which expands on the content of the game and adding more factions to the game. Their plan? The destruction of mankind from within through political play. In the singleplayer, you play as Edison Trent, a man who lost everything on a space station accident and who later got involved in the "evil schemes" of an alien species, nicknamed the Nomads, who were capable of taking over other human lifeforms.

One good way to advance your rep' with the junkers and rogues, while not damaging your rep with house forces and corporations, is by killing Xenos - pirates themselves but also enemies to virtually all other pirate factions.Hey guys, I thought I'd like to introduce all of you to an old game I used to play lots, namely Freelancer.įreelancer is a free-roam Space Simulator which can be considered a sequel to Starlancer, as the plotline, or introduction to the story involves the war between the Coalition and the Alliance and the last ditch effort made by the Alliance to survive by launching five sleeper ships, ships holding the Alliance's people in stasis until a new place to live has been found. I played through the first New York segment of the game (up until you and Juni leave for Bretonnia) as a pirate many times myself, completely hostile with the liberty police, navy, and corporations by the time I left (which didn't really matter because] they turn hostile to you with the storyline anyway).Īs per Rochester not having missions, both Rochester and Buffalo have missions IF your rep' with the junkers and rogues, respectively, is high enough. You are able to use docking rings whether or not friendly with the faction that controls them, and the campaign tends to unlock those bases arbitrarily that you need to dock at for the purpose of continuing the storyline (even if these are unavailable while in freeplay). The only downfall is that you'll make yourself hostile to most house police forces, navies, and corporations, but this is not a bar to playing the storyline. You can acquire either ship, if you like, and pirate the trade lanes at will. In vanilla, Rochester (the Junker base in the Jersey debris field) sells the Bloodhound Pirate Light Fighter (that used by the Rogues) while Buffalo (the Rogue base in the badlands) sells the Dagger Border Worlds Light Fighter (that used by the Outcasts). In vanilla, you can become a pirate even without jump gate access and - if you're new to the game - it can be rather fun.
