*drools at the incredible looking previews. Wow, microsoft has no idea what kind of profits the're missing out on. If they had hired the freeworlds team and sold this mod commercially, Starwars fans (like me ) would be trampleing each other to get their hands on a starwars space sim of this calliber. I guess we should all be thankful they didn't Keep up the good work.

i dont even play freeworlds any more or even freelancer

I tried Freeworlds SP. It is not a game (more like a map experience). None of the MP servers will allow me to play so I found Freeworlds refreshing and with great potential but a waste of my time. I prefer sp to mp for the above reason of MP server problems.

So playing in SP would certainly peak my interest.

Nice mod if I could play MP.

This must be another TC Mod that has died. Might be nice to be removed from TLR if they have died and have no one to help you out anymore.

Yes, Freeworlds 1.66 has been deemed a failure. After a year in the works, there were complaints about many aspects of how 1.66 wasn't as community-friendly as 1.65, and it was bug ridden. Most of the old servers have now reverted back to 1.65 with custom add on mods, such as 16.66.

The head modder Aldebaran quit Freeworlds and CZW has taken over control, with work starting on a new mod, 1.68. You will be hard pushed to find 1.66 anywhere now, if im not mistaken it was removed from TLR.

1.66 could have been awesome, and some of it was. 1.65 was much more stable though, and is still a great mod. Watch this space for the next version.

hello to everybody ...

i confirm, i'm still on it and develop it ...

best regards

plz help!!!!!!

really wanna play this mod!

I'm sold on Free Worlds 1.65, which I think is a great mod altogether. A friend of mine was ready to delete it because when he starts off in open singleplayer, all he has is a Z95 with two weak guns. Here's what I told him to get a better ship and to make some quick credits:

1. The minute he gets out of the Multiplayer Nexus in the Kuat System, go to the ice field (if you select the Corellian Hyperbuoy your autopilot will take you right through it). Shoot some ice crystals and tractor them into your hold until you are full, then proceed to the jump hole leading to Corellia.

2. Once in Corellia space, select the Tattoo jump hole, and head for Tattooine, where you can sell your free water for 1,440 creds each! This beats going all the way to Bespin and paying for water. In no time you'll be able to upgrade your ship (or buy a new one with all the bells and whistles) and take on a few bad guys. It took me about a day before I could upgrade to TIE Bomber, Civilian (which has a 100 unit cargo hold) and about two more days before I got my dream ship, Dash Rendar's Outrider.

Well, time to smoke some Black Sun pirates, have fun people!

There is a patch that fixes a lot of the issues in 1.66. The Freeworlds community is alive and well using the 1.82 version of freeworlds (check www.freeworlds-mod.com/forum for more info).
