looking for a good mod

Fri Nov 12, 2004 10:32 am by darquies

Ello peeps, I hope this is the right place for this forum, here goes.

I am looking for a good mod, i have played several in the past(topfreelancers mod, wts 2.3 and 2.4 etc etc etc) and those mods are great, but i yearn for something more, now don't get me wrong, I truly thank these people who spend time and energy to bring me and all of us these mods.

But what i'm looking for is a mod which has a lot of ships, and with many different kinds and types of weapons for those ships, and different ways of making money than just doing the missions, and lots of extras and such. But one of the main things i would like to play in a mod is balence, I don't like fighting peeps, and seeing them or me die after one of 2 hits, for instance the wts 2.4 mod, has a lot of ships, and the weapons are different and many, but these weapons in my humble oppinion are way too powerful, heck one of the turrents that come with a ship does 5k worth of shield and hull damage a piece and has a refire rate of 10.00, like i said, this particular mod, is a great mod, but i like the idea of having to be persistant in killing your foe, not just hiting him once and that's it. I also like the idea of gettin loot from the things that u kill. The loot that u got in wts 2.3 was kinda much, for instance, if u killed 2 liberty rouges ships in new york system, u would usually score like a million credits worth of stuff, from salvaging from those two ships. While this was kool at first, i soon saw there was no building up the credits in order to purchase the ship of my choice(which is half the fun of the game)

So there is my questions, please help me find the type of mod i'm looking for and thanx for all your help in getting me mod install-wise and for bringing these mods to us

Thanx again.

I protect the helpless from the heartless.

The Evolutions mod is fantasticly balanced and challenging. You can download either the SP version or Multi-play version. The latest version is Evolutions 1.28patched. It has a multitude of new ships, also Battleships and Trains and freighters, and even offers different versions of the same ships, mostly in the fighter classes. It offers a fantastic array of new equipment and weapons and even new equipment mounts so there's many ways to 'customize' your ship to suit your style of play. The AI's are much more skilled and are a challenge. Plus they have nice drops but it's not 'overblown' as you say.

I must admit the mod is fantastic for PvP but if your not into that as it sounds like a skilled pilot can avoid that. Many of the factions missions are revamped and pay quite well, especially for the Uber missions, but trade is also a new experience with a wide variety of new commodities and systems. Trade can also be quite dangerous since the AI's are more powerful. Reputation makes a huge difference in what you can trade and where you can go safely. I've found it makes escorting a viable trade.

There are even wrecks with special equiment and weapons that are one time loot only for your profile and some equipment is only available if looted off of certain AI's.

Well, this was a mouthful, but the mod is alot to chew on. A fantastic job by Chips and the Evo's crew. I'd suggest HALs_2003_EVOS server if you want to play online.

Thanx for telling me about evolutions, i'm downloading it now, I like to pvp, just don't like the idea of dieing in 1 to 2 hits, my class 10 grav shield is litterally killed in 1 hit, the hull if i even see it cause i'm usually dead, before i see anything(shield or hull bar)go down, i mean these guns on wts 2.4 do MONDO damage. the liberty turrent that you get with the whitestar does 5000 shield damage and 6000 hull damage, with a refire rate of 10.00. so i would like to have a more "dog-fighting" kinda atmosphere, in the game(kinda like in the begenning missions of the origional freelancer{before u mod}). Thanx for your info though, like i said, i'm installing as we speak

Not sure what the problem is. You might need to do a full reinstall. That would be the whole shabang. Freelancer, SDK 1.3, Evolutions 1.28 patched client version, and the wreck patch. You can get all of these easily on Pathfinderstudios.com.

Pathfinderstudios also has a forum that is monitored by folks very familiar with the mod, so your questions will get better attention than my humble, fumbling advice on it.
