NPC mod

What is the mod that many servers are running that up the difficulty and pay of missions and give the NPCs some competency (i.e. using the shield bats), yet retain the original balance of the game?

By balance I mean the preservation of the original essence of the game, same bases, same ships, same FL feel. New jump holes/patrols/non-game breaking features are acceptable. To give you guys a better idea of what I mean, think TNG, but the exact opposite. No nexus systems, poorly written storylines, alterations of the beliefs of each faction, or random insertions of (eupherism) that sound like a bad Star Trek movie.

All we want is a mod that makes FL more realistic, yet still Freelancer.

No offence intended towards the tng people; under that note they need to fix the glaring grammatical errors in their readme, let alone their mod.

if you mean NPC revenge then its a server side only mod that adds what your after. But it can only be requested from the author by email via this site www.lancerstuff.tk

Also you can ask the author for minor changes added, e.g.

Graviton lvl 8 and lvl 9/10 Champion shield lootable
Nomad Prototype lvl7's Lootable

There is also my server's mod, called Boston SuperMod. If you do not install the client-side opt-in mod then you'll still experience the client-side part of the mod. It is designed to specifically enhance the FL experience yet leave the PvP part virtually untouched. NPCs are stronger and are no longer relatively easy pushovers. There are many details all of which can be read on my forum here.

We stress balanced gameplay in the SuperMod and are also working it into our future mod, the Procyon mod. Without the balance then it becomes a game of hacks where only a few ship/equipment combinations work to the exclusion of all else.
