Does the System change?

Hi all,
I've player Freelancer in earlier times and now the game celebrates a revival on my PC.
So I'm looking for new things. I'll find a post which describes, that "alien cargo" or something like that can change a clima of a planet, if it was set in the orbit.
Is that true?
Far on, are there any changes in the Sirion System by-and-by, like planets get docking rings or so on?

Some mods add new systems. Check out the mods and look for them.

i think what he's saying that Alien Organisms are used to terraform planets as said in the item description, can you dump them around a planet to make the planet a base.

afraid not, if thats what you mean.

when you visit a system, everything will be the same everytime you visit except for NPCs.

@Coolbeano:
Yes, that was it I wanna say. I meant dynamicaly changes while the game is going on.
It's a pity. That would be a great idea for Freelancer 2!

Only real changes while you are playing is that some of the bases that were there in the story line just sort of vanish afterwards! I can't say which for fear of treading on spoilish ground, but it does seem most odd. Even the trade lanes may disappear.

p.s. I've been playing FL nearly 2 years now, but yesterday I ran across a base and a couple of wrecks I had somehow missed. When you think you've found it all, maybe you really haven't. Which is what keeps us playing ...

in storyline scripts, those bases are created on demand, and destroyed on demand.

and most of the time, the bases that disappear later aren't even bases. you dock, view a cutscene, and somethnig happens forcing you to leave before you repair, buy equipmnet, whatever, becasue the base isn't really there.

and AFAIK, no tradelanes disappear during the SP missions.

a benefit to knowing how to mod is that you find everything there is, and you know some things for a fact. things like shooting off wings actually does increases your acceleration.
