This Mod is even better than I originally expected ! I found out the best way to survive the early missions is to use the other large ships and stations as shields and keep near them using them to prevent mass attacks and allowing their defences to help weaken my opponents. Tactics involving your environment , wow ! . I even managed to make one opponent fry their shields on a planet atmosphere then blasted him when they where down , I am relearning Freelancer as a whole new game !
