Mission difficulty

    Hey everyone


    So I re-installed my freelancer game and I am giving this mod a try. One snag I have run into, is very early in the game, just before you hit level 2 and going on your own. it is the mission where you take out the rogue base. I kept dying and dying and dying, got very frustrated and to actually change the difficulty setting in the perfoptions.ini difficulty to 0.1 just to make it through. I don't remember the game being so difficult?


    Am I missing something?


    Thanks in advance

    hi there
    in this mod you will find all fighting with npc's are more difficult than in the vanilla. they are not, however, insurmountable.


    my advice would be to use strafe a lot and keep away from the missile and gun platforms, concentrate on the npc pirates.
    alternatively change your starter ship for a cargo ship which will have more firepower. after completing that particular mission get some cash, resist taking any more of Juni's mission requests until you can afford a decent fighter with better shielding and weaponry.


    good luck and enjoy the mod, it can be challenging but is fun.


    cheers
