Please help a newbie - mod advice

Hi. I've been lurking here for about a week now, just reading. I just bought Freelancer recently, and completed the single-player campaign not long ago.

I'd like to play through the SP campaign again in "free-form" mode, without the story. I tried this out using FLMM and OpenSP, and while it was fun for a while, things started to get a little monotonous.

I was wondering if you guys would be so kind as to recommend a mod that I can try out. Since everyone has different ideas on which mod is best, I thought I'd post what I would like to see in a mod and perhaps someone could let me know if such a mod exists.

1. New ships would be a plus, though I'm not interested in any super-powerful blow-up-anything-in-one-shot kinda ships. Porsche's Starwars ship-pack looks interesting. The Babylon5 ship-pack also caught my eye. Are either of them any good? Would I be able to use both of them together?

2. More interesting random missions. Assaults against capital ships would be nice. I'd like something other than the standard fighter-sweep and assasination missions.

3. Basically, I'm just looking for something which which brings the Freelancer universe to life. At the moment, it's starting to feel a little like "Diablo-in-space"

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, and I'm looking forward to any advice.

Being a newbie dosent mean you cant read. There are other forums for mods.

This is the wrong forum for this post.

Sorry if my post is in the wrong place. I *did* look for a mod forum, but didn't see any. There's only a mod announcement forum and a forum for people having trouble installing mods. Neither of those seemed suitable.

If this is in the wrong place, could one of the moderators move it please? Thanks. =)

Try:
hostile universe v8 mod
TNG 1.58
Serious Sirus
Rebalance mod


Look in the downloads section.

Thanks for the reply, Xenocide. Would I be able to run all those mods concurrently using FLMM? Which of them is the one with improved random missions?

I'm sorta wavering between the Rebalance Mod, Hostile Universe, and Massive Addon.

I don't reall know much about the Hostile Unverse mod. I've tried looking for a complete feature list, but haven't been able to find one.

Thanks! =)

You wont find a complete feature list of Hostile Universe.

Its so you will go off and explore. And trust me, there is plenty to find and do.
One hint about HU. Always have a shield killer handy.

Click on "Forums" at the top of the page. You will find a number of Freelancer forums -- mods, multiplayer, spoilers, designing etc. Problem is you don't know they are there unless you have logged onto the main Lancers Reactor page. Maybe there should be a sticky saying that there are other forums.

Hostile Universe all the way!!!
Although it's a bit buggy.

I like the MOD Massive addon. It not only gives you new systems but ships as well

HU, TNG, Rebalance do that to.
