Hi Sirius, welcome.

First I think you need to ask if you are allowed to use the Discovery Mod on your server, by the people who made it? I don’t know.

For starting with modding, it’s a big subject, you will find a lot of tutorials here, look at some and if you don’t understand, ask specific questions and you will get help.

Here is the link to some video tutorials:

I suggest you start with adding a new ship and adding a new base.

For giving admin ability to players, there are two ways:-

1. Give the trusted ones the account and password to your server. But this can be dangerous if you don’t totally trust one of them to be honest and not give himself lots of money or the most powerful ship. And if they don’t know what they are doing they can cause crashes. Always copy your server’s Freelancer game folder before you give someone else admin, and make frequent copies of your players’ files (…\My Games\Freelancer\Accts) when they are good, so that you can quickly recover it if something goes wrong.

2. Run one of the FL Server Operator programmes like FL Hook or FL Shell, then they can do a lot of commands while they are playing the game, without needing passwords to your server.

I am not familiar with FL Hook, but many others here will help you.

If you check the amount of servers running Discovery, you’ll see it’s a little unregulated - and they don’t mind you making your own server.
