Best mods?

I am an ex-freelancer player, i bought it when it came out and got into for a while. But, when ut2k4 arrived i quickly lost interest in the whole fl scene. If u all would be so kind as to give me some of the best single player and multiplayer mods out their now. I want only mods that if you could only install one game on your pc these mods would make it be freelancer.

So hopefully you all can help me out and also start a good discussion on what makes a mod good/bad !!!!

I am the best mod!

Oh, you mean modifications?! Ah - gotcha.

This type of thread has been made LOTS of times, and usually attracts the same names over and over again...with a bit of arguing and flaming for good measure.

What you should do is just go to the downloads section and peruse. You can order them by category - like ships, general, addons etc and search. The download amount may give an idea of which are good, but try them...since it sounds like you have time.

Why do i say that? Well, if you play the best mod ever....then your stuck. Where do you go when you get bored? Whats next? The answer is nothing - your done.

So if you explore a bit, and pick up a few ships and stuff mods - then try moving onto some of the bigger ones - it will all last ALOT longer!

Remember - your asking for peoples preferences, and whilst it may prove useful, you have to remember that there people who like Tofu and Sprouts in the world.......tastes differ vastly!!!

The Marsflyer mod, it's the best killer ship out there. That's what I use when someone on my server pisses me off, and I have to go down there and kill him

Thanks for the suggestions of what I should do.

but, the reason i started the thread was because i didn't want to have to search for it myself. Yes laziness rules! And also because i thought a forum was a place for opinions and disscusions.

Also, yes i sure similar threads like this have been done before but, i wanted information straight from the people who play them.


I do apologize for probably not putting it in the right section and capitalizing the topic (caps lock was on oops)
and i think that......

Chips is the best mod

........the people who speak in the other threads about this DO play them...

Well, you can discuss, wasn't saying you cannot - I was saying that you should search yourself. However, when reading replies - bear in mind you should take what they say with the ol "Pinch of salt" routine - cause of course, some have a vested interest in the ones they play, others haven't tried many at all, and some just have bad taste

Hey pseudogod got a sidek!ck? Sorry if it's off topic but I was curios... Anyway Chips mod is really really really cool..... Except I hate following the storyline.

There are a lot of good ones. I prefer the Open Single Player version myself. Hostile Universe, Music addon which adds starwars music to it, FireBase ship pac 101, Chip's Open SP, Saber_XR, Tie Universe, and Shipyard 101. Haven't played the new evolutions yet.

Finalday, i fixed some "bugs" in hostile universe if you wanna try it - i didn't crash in newmars - BUT i haven't had time to test it thoroughly. I did it in a fit of boredom after reading a crash problem on his site some time ago, however, he never responded about it.....lemmie know anyways

Post Sun Aug 08, 2004 12:51 pm

Will give it a shot and let you know.

Post Sun Aug 08, 2004 4:41 pm

casseus: No i don't have a sidekick ? I don't even have fl installed. i should get around to it eh?

all: I believe i will try the hostile universe mod looks interesting and you got to love fleet battles.
and is hostile universe mp as well? Is Hostile Universe V8 the lastest?

O god damn (hope i can say that) i go to install freelancer right and my computer cant seem to read the disc so i take it out and their is a big crack along the disc

What course of action should i pursue or am i screwed?

Post Sun Aug 08, 2004 5:02 pm

If the disk is cracked, you'll have to get another one. It happened to me. Sorry.

Post Sun Aug 08, 2004 5:27 pm

It just annoys me that i have to pay for software again that i already bought when it could be just as easily downloaded (i don't mean with out paying for it). i'll be sure to make a backup (even though the eula says i can't use it to install or play with) i guess i am sol

Post Sun Aug 08, 2004 6:14 pm

Some back ups won't work, due to incoding the disks, FL is that way. I tried to make a backup and it wouldn't work.
