So who still plays FL regularly?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

well, even with mods there are only so many times you can claw your way to the top

I play FL every spare moment of time that I'm not playing AoT or Halo. So not alot, but I still do.

I'm still playing it,...but then I've only owned the game around a month now so it's till nice and fresh to me.
Someone in an earlier post said "you can only claw your way to the top so often"
and I"m sorta agreeing with that, so Iv'e started playing with mods.
speed mods, and the wicked cool firebase ships mod are really good.
I'm considering a larger mod now rather than choosing yet another game.

I would recommend going through the mods almost sequentially - and finishing with the big mods. Try some of the older ones, like TFK Killermatrix bab 5 mod etc, and work forwards.

Reason i say that is cause once you play one of the bigger mods, you will probs not want to play the smaller ones. When you have near exhausted normal FL on several servers, been in clans, tried the small mods that just add the odd thing etc etc - then try the larger mods. Maximises FL that way

I still play once or twice a week. This piece of software will never be uninstalled off this computer.

I haven't played it for about 6 months, it's still installed on my system though.

I too, have not had FL on my PC for quite a while. When I find a good game, I play the hell out of it, and then wait a few months, and play the hell out of it again. Lately, I've been playing Starlancer and after completing it, I've finally installed Morrowind and the Expansions. That should take me a while .

I must have played about 150 hours of Freelancer. To be honest I never play the original game. I play tons of mods though. I love MOD Chemistry. That's when I try to stick together as many mods as possible without the damn game crashing.
I'm actually trying to play X2 at the minute. After a horrifying experience with X2 controls, however, I'm playing Freelancer until I can recover psychologically.
I never play multiplayer though. It's just that half the time, there's nobody on the games. There's always people of course. I just can't find 'em. Chips, I love your open sp mod. It's probably my favourite FL mod. G'day mate.

Well, I have to have it installed on my comp, because bp and myself test the Mods that are submitted to TLR. You can understand that we get a lot of submissions and they are not always perfect. We sometimes get really buggy Mods or Mods which are not FLMM compatible or Mods without scripts/readme files etc. So we check the Mods, edit some things (like ini files for example), make it FLMM compatible and add FLMM scripts if these things are necessary. That's our daily routine before uploading it to TLR and making a newspost about it

Occasionally I still fire up FL with a nice Mod and just have fun for a while next to just firing it up for Mod testing.
