Hey, good to here that FL has fans al over the world.

about Mods: the best ones are found here () follow this link.

Some great titles:

The Next Generation (TNG)
Hostile Univere (HU)
Rebalance.

Most of the mods work on servers aswel, so that should keep you busy

There is no option like you described about bounty hunting, at least not automatically.
What you can do, is put out a notice that you put a bounty on someones head and then let others chase/kill the guy, after wich you pay them the bounty.

I hope this provides a satisfying answer

Have fun!

Talk about putting us to shame.....other side of the world, where english aint there first language (stating the obvious cos you wouldn't know it) and yet he can not only talk, but phrase, punctuate and spell better than most posters in this forum! Just shows how slack we all are........who could say that they can speak a foreign language that well?


*edit* - oh, and in the modding forum there is a post called 'newbie question look no further2!' which has a post in it about creating pirates as a 'commodity' for a kinda roleplay idea - but also server side only mods list, with some detailed how too's included as well. These you could implement to increase game play variety without anyone needing to download anything, or install anything. However - little bit bout pirates (for bounty hunting)

What this means that if you follow it, you can collect pirate pilots from their ships when you blow them up (the pilots 'eject' if you like..). If you then fly to bounty hunter bases - they sell for around 2k, otherwise they sell for about 50 credits.
Alternately - you can also sell them back to pirate bases for more money to 'liberate' their comrades (500 credits).
You can set the drop rates so that they 'eject' when a certain level rather than all of them - or just make them take up more cargo space - that way by default its harder to make too much money this way..........lol. Same can be done with prisoners (already in the files though) - which you can transport around to prisons from bases, or flog em off to pirates (liberate them) or even to the outcasts (put to work in cardamine production). Just little things you can do if you don't fancy slapping everyone into the world of TNG - specially as its a 30meg download. HU is very good - and alot smaller. Not tried rebalance. Just remember, for mods that include new things (equipment, weapons, commodities, ships, etc ) everyone who plays will need the mod as well

@nemesis - I've heard many good things about The Next Generation mod, but I haven't tried it myself to be honest.

@ Chips, I have tried rebalance on a server, It locked everyone out, including the admin/server operator.

Hey guys,

I'm new here. But I think I know the rules

Nem, I'm from India There is a decent FL following here too. I personally know more than 10 people in my locality who play FL on their worn out P3s with Riva TNTs... with great passion even! But I am blessed with a dad who works abroad and gets me great hardware. (Currently running an Athlon 2600 rig with a Radeon 9700)

Anyhow, I have completed the SP campaign and decided to play online. I had started to play on an Australian server called 'murdock', but it was taken down It was the only server where I got less than 300 pings. I started an account on Browclopsia (spelling right?) but its lagging like hell. I get decent 56k speeds here (45.2kbps connection speed), but distance is distance.

Coming to the point, if any of you guys host a server in Australia or Pakistan or someplace close to my sub-continent, I would really appreciate a heads-up. A lot of us would...

WOW it's official: Freelancer unites the world!!!

Now the only question left is...... Are there Freelancers in RUSSIA!!!!

BURN SIRIUS BURN!!!
THE SCOURGES ARE BACK!!!

The " GoAnyWhere" mods pretty good.

We are the borg, you will be assimilated, resitance is futile!

Yes - there are freelancers in Russia - got chatting to one, told me dosvadanya means goodbye etc, also told me the phrase i want to know in every language

Nice t**s love

but i can't remember it............

"I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!"

hehe Chips, of all the things you could forget, you choose this one

Anyway, White Knight is Estonian. Is that close enough?

India, Pakistan ... maybe somebody should make a new South Asian mod. Be fun to have another system -- provided the folks can get along with each other 800 years from now.

p.s. I'm working in SE Asia. Only know a few FL fanatics here though. Wonder why it's not better known.

<< also told me the phrase i want to know in every language >>

Want to learn some "bad words" in some languages?

Talking about that South Asia alternate storyline...

To be frank, the only people who are not getting along in my part of the world are politicians. They just keep the war/cold-war going for pure political benefit and to continue to be in power. I hope some of you might have heard the story of the little girl who came from Pakistan to India for heart surgery. People here adored her... I have seen some photos of kids crying when she gets inside the bus to Pakistan and leaves.

I guess I am way off topic concerning to this forum, sorry

OTOH, Freelancer is quite popular here because M$ has published it with a much lower price tag than their other games. To compare, Age of Mythology costs about Rs. 2899/- (1$ =~ Rs. 46) while FL costs only 1699/-. Also, it was in development for so long that news of its uberness had time to trickle down here . Another big reason could be that the most popular computer magazine group here has started publishing a gaming only mag. It covered games like HL2, FL, Homeworld2 etc etc etc in its pilot issue.
