Epsilon Version 2.7 - comments and feedback
Hi folks,
Epsilon 2.7 is almost there.... (phew)
edit: now released as Epsilon 2.71
Update: I have been asked to provide a link to 2.71 as there seems to be some confusion as to which is which..lol the mod can be downloaded Here 
Some notes:
Epsilon mod Version 2.7
This mod is designed to reverse the way it is in freelancer... we have found that in both single player but more so in multiplayer that players sit around in New York and complain about the fact that nothing happens.... so we decided to make that a very deadly proposition .. and I'm sorry if it does not please you.. initially you will die a lot and for that we will get flames.. however if it gets people into neighbouring systems (where they will find another new series of also uber enemies).. then the player will have to do missions or trade or tap wrecks because he/she will have to upgrade to survive... Saunter forth from Manhattan bleary eyed, with a cup of coffee in one hand and a donut in the other, you wont live long enough to say WTF was that. If you take medication do so, if you are a wimp dont play this mod, go play in the park with a dog and a ball instead.
We have introduced 10 new AI - 5 bad and 6 good
The bad guys:
Liberty: Elementals- in small fast hard to hit ships that attack in waves without provocation.. you will probably hate them with a passion.
Rheinland: Atlantean's - also in small fast ships should be ok if you kill enough of the others.. you can get friendly.
Bretonia: Spiders - as bad as they get.. very very nasty.
Kusari: Lizards, again you can get onto the right side of these.. very uber attack in waves...heavy fighters as well as light.
Border Worlds - Zodiacs... (not ready yet) - will not be in this version
The "good" guys"
Liberty: Rangers - fully fitted out.. they will save your arse many times... 3 ships, from light to heavy
Rheinland - Hussars - a match for the Atlantean's - will also save your arse if the Atlantean's dislike you..
Bretonia: Invincibles - if you make an enemy of the Bretonian military or police - they will treat with you like they tolerate the spiders .. which is not at all.. good ally tho.
Kusari: - Nazo... There is a long history of elite fighters in oriental history - the Kusari Nazo Bushido... supposedly factionless and entirely impartial - formed to fight lizards do not get on the wrong side of these they will kill you very quickly
Border World: Exiles - the suicide squadron - consists mainly of Corsair, Outcasts, Bounty hunter, and other scum - exiled for crimes against their home faction - now while these are "good" they remember old enmity and will kill you as quick as look at you ... but kill enough nomads and zodiacs and they will like you well enough.. in the meantime avoid, they have three ships.. all in various classes of uber
E.D.I - Epsilon Defence Industries - Munitions Masters, Sirius wide, responsible for many of the new equipment and weapons. Keep your finger off the trigger when you find these guys, otherwise you may not live long enough to say oops... Will take on any of the "bad guys" may well be your saviour if they do happen along.
One final note: We make no apologies for the difficulty of this mod - so dont go whinging that it is too hard. It will fall on deaf ears. If you want to play a mod that gives you wide eyes and sweaty armpits hop on for a wild ride. we welcome your CONSTRUCTIVE comments..
Server operators: there is no need to add extra files to this mod.. if you do we may ask you to remove it from your server.
Harrier.
