Hey Everybody

Hello and welcome to the Starport.
As for being a self-proclaimed n00b, donât worry about that, thereâs hundreds of them out there playing Freelancer so, you should feel right at home. ;D
If you want to try to improve your gaming in Freelancer, be sure to look at the Multiplayer Gaming list when you click on the Multiplayer icon after you log onto the game. You can view the list and see what servers are most active and the ones that are not. Some may require that you use an additional mod, like the one specifi\cally required for thier server, (those will show up in a different color and/or the version other than 1.0 will be in red) then, try to come here or check other Frreelancer Communities/Websites and try to find the specified mod/s. Other than that, find you a simple 1.0 and jump on it. The game play will be a little different than in SP and, youâll not have to be stuck with just one ship/character, youâll be able to create 5 characters and then you can enjoy more gaming experience and not have to sell your ship just to try to test a newer one unless you want to. Just create a new char with a name for it and log on. You can create a Trade char for just exploring and trading or, you an also create a Pirate char and raid everything, etcâŠetcâŠetcâŠ
But always remember to abide by the rules of the server and there will be some ingame Console messages with informationas to whatâs, what on the server youâre on.
Hope this helped and you enjoy your time online. Just remember,
âOne mistake out here is all it takes.â

Hey mate,
Glad to have you with us. Once you finish the game, be sure to check out alot of mods. Donât just try one of them, try a bunch. This game has alot of life in it. And it seems each mod brings a new flavor and makes the game feel ânew againâ. I look forward to one day seeing you in-game on the servers I frequent.

P.S. Oh by the way, if you want to learn how to mod the game, you came to the right place. ;D

Welcome to our little spot of sanity in the chaos. ;D
No worries on the Noob Status, everyone starts at square one.
While Starport might seem mostly geared towards the creation and promotion of modifications, there is still plenty that will help you if you speak up and ask questions in the correct areas. The Ingame Tips and Tutorials Area seems a good example offhand.
Glad to see you found us here M8.

Welcome aboard.
As it was said before, we all started as newbies too, so donât worry about it. Youâll improve with time.
There are many fine mods around. Specially on this place, which is the current main hub of most of the freelancer communities out there. Here you will find players and Admins from almost every MP mod in existence. You should try some mods, to see which one fits your styleâŠ

Welcome to the community MFGusto, youâll find a lot of friendly and helpful ppl around here, us old dogs have been teaching them :P.
Unfortunately it looks like some of them need to go back to school :P, Microsuck shut down the MP Global List Server just over 18 months ago, but thanks to some clever ppl in this community we have a community GLS as well as a GLS workaround.
W0d4a released the workaround shortly after M$ shut thiers down, itâs a sort of plug-in that you install directly into you Freelancer directory, it then allows you to see all of the servers that have registered with it.
The community GLS is down atm, Crazy (creater & owner) fried his machine, so until heâs back up itâs offline.
The Workaround is the last item on this page <â- LINK
Info on Crazyâs GLS can be found HERE scroll down to October to find 2 methods of pointing Freelancer to it.
Or if your not scared of playing with the files you can just edit it yourself, find where you installed Freelancer and navigate to âMicrosoft games/Freelancer/Exe/â, in here youâll find a file called freelancer.ini (looks like a text page with a cog on it), open it with notepad.
Look for a section that looks like this -
[listServer]
;;;hostname = localhost ;Your local machine
;;;hostname = FLListServer2.dns.corp.microsoft.com ĂÂ ;GUN server in Austin
;;;hostname = 131.107.135.190 ;GUN server in Redmond
hostname = fllistserver.zone.msn.com ;GUN server in Redmond (DNS entry)port = 2300
Replace the highlighted part with the following and save -
hostname = gun.fllistserver.com ; GUN server provided by www.fllistserver.com

This is actually the first day iâve been back on here in awhile too, got really busy with those ever pesky real life issues⊠mostly job hunting and trying to sort out my schedule⊠havent touched freelancer in about a month⊠hoping to find some time this week to actually log on to a server for the first time and putz around⊠perhaps ill see one of the many people who have posted here⊠recommendations for certain mods would be appreciated, im going to try to compile a list of good ones that are popularly used, as i noticed there are quite a number of mods out there, and instead of individually trying the hundreds out, id like to find a small few to rotate around, help is appreciated. Thank for all the kind words and knowledge thus far folks.
