    any ideas if this was a kind of senior "leader", "admin" or whatever from discovery?


    I doubt, guys I won't say that everyone in Discovery is like these guy, let's focus in facts and not tag an all community by the posts of some kids.


    There's good people in Discovery has there is in a lot of servers, however these kind of comments really shows how some people feel and think about it. which make's me think 2 from one, or these guys never played else where or it's a completely looser an never made anything decent in other servers.

  • Discovery Mod/Community

    I know Discovery for some years now, there has always been some aspects that I enjoyed in that server/mod, there has been other ones that I dislike.


    I have to say that it is right, there's not much new on that mod if you are looking for new mod features, most of the systems created are very poor, and the economy wasn't even touched (so far as I remember).


    The only good things that Discovery managed to build in my opinion was a way of RP which works and can be called by that, supported by an average level mod with a good story, the faction aligment is a feature that prizes the players who have a good knowledge of the Freelancer story.


    Still it fails in one little big thing, it is to based in capital ships, which spoils the only thing that distinguish freelancer as a potential RPG, the use of our own skills instead of credits at the time of fight. along with these we also can't find much interesting ships in it, if you compare it with other mods.


    I still thing that a good mod/server has a lot to do with the way the creator joins both set of server rules/mod, The true is that the most populated servers aren't by far the ones with the best mods Discovery, Void, Hamburg City, none of them have a mod comparable with Crossfire ot others around, but still they keep a good amount of players, and it's funny that while one of them is a pure RP server (probably the only one) the other ones don't really have RP but more of a PVP/RP environment.


    if the question is: is Discovery a good mod? I will say, -nope, it's a prety shi*** mod.


    if the question is: is Discovery a good server? then I will say
    - it's pretty good if you want pure RP and never have a decent PVP again.


    About all the marketing that the Discovery community has been doing, all I can say is that I have read pretty much crap and false statements of the mod/server itself, the truth is that most of the people who do it, didn't even tried other mods (and lots of them neither even played the campaign).

  • Hi there i'm new.

    you start with good money, so get the best you can get with it (most likely a Barracuda or a dragon) and fight slightly inferior enemy's, get the guns from wrecks in stead of buying them (allows you to save quiet a few credits) and I grantee you that in few hours you will be flying an eagle.

  • Spoiling RP

    I have to disagree from most of you, Mercs, Police, Pirates, smugglers and Traders would simple have to work a bit more, probably some better (and very expensive) scanners could be used to see people until 40 K of distance, The best thing would be the end of much F1's (sometimes 1 system ahead), the "I'm not in the mood for RP excuse" and so on and finaly a more RP server (in stead of PVP), where people are not only recompesated by their PVP skills but also by they knowledge of the environment and , the worst thing would be the clan system defense but honestly I could live with that.


    Honestly everyone knows what trade routes there is in a day, and if we don't, we use our databases (chars that have visited every station and that hold all the profitable goods), and there you will find someone. these would also put more players working together.


    In the end, I don't believe that these by itself would fix anything, but I believe that together with other features/rules.... would make an awesome server.


    Just my 2 cents.

  • Spoiling RP

    suprise is probably the best component of RP, what i wouild like was that everyone would fly blind not even knowing sho's on the next system.

  • The Missing Freeports?

    There is one or two bases run by IMG which were run by the Zoners before (I think), anyway, better wait for CA for a better confirmation.


    I supose that they may have been destroyed or abandoned in the mid time.


    we shouldn't forget that the ultra polluted Texas and Galileu were ment to be much more populated systems then they are now.
