Personally, i think its a good idea to play it through without any mods first.

There are plenty of good mods out there where the three best ones (in my opinion) are the FLRebalance mod, Reynens mod and Freelancer: The Next Generation.

It is a VERY good idea to play through without any mods at first though.

Hell.....I've got 5 or so mods on my computer that I haven't use yet.....Reynen's Mod is great, I'm playing through the game with that right now. As mentioned above, the Rebalance Mod is another good one to grab.

Both Reynen and Rebalence change A LOT in the game, kinda adds a new level of variety to it.

I've heard good things about the FL: Next Generation mod, but I won't play that until I beat the game with the Reynen Mod.

But of course you MUST play the game to the end before using the mods. Just so you can see for yourself all that is changed...and there is quit a bit.

Thanks for all the info.

I really wasnt looking for anything even close to a total conversion, just some tweaks to the game that the Devs might have forgotten.

Well, I'm off to get started.

Rebalance
Hostile Universe
Star Trek TNG mod

I would suggest one of those to try as your first mod...

Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.
