Hey Everybody

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 don’t worry about it. You’ll 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 style…

Welcome to the community MFGusto, you’ll 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, it’s 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 he’s back up it’s offline.
The Workaround is the last item on this page <–- LINK
Info on Crazy’s 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 “Microsoft games/Freelancer/Exe/”, in here you’ll 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  ;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 i’ve 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.
