Intro: StarTrader & the RRJDS Guild
-
Hello people.
I was in two minds whether to write an intro note here or not, and finally decided it is the polite thing to do…
This is grumpy old StarTrader, aka StarAvenger, I am the “secretary” of the RRJDS (Reputation Repair & Judicial Distribution Specialist) Guild. We’re a bunch of old, cranky pals - you know, trigger happy from time to time but friendly and welcoming.
Our Guild, now led by our Guild Leader, Fort_Knox, was started by several old-timers, beta-testers of Freelancer, some of whom are still around, who laid down the original foundations of our own behaviour and expectations from both our members and from our players - we now call them our Three Pillars of Virtue - Fairness, Sportsmanship and Honour.
We believe that by upholding these we will contribute a nice friendly gaming environment for our members and for all those who play on our servers, not only for Freelancer and mods but also any other game servers we may operate. To date we have had very few cases of cheating or other nuisance, and we consider this to be a great response in return for our better approach to others, when most servers had a “Kill Kill Kill” modus operandum with admins who loved to be destructive gods instead of creating a healthy friendly atmosphere where all newcomers felt included and very welcome. Now that may mean you get buccaneered when you visit us, but not to a degree that you cannot afford - and then you can begin to understand what fun team-playing and role-playing with our other players and members means.
We have our own game server and our own web server, and we have lately been running the TNG 276 mod for the past year or so while we (actually I) develop the second release of our own mod, which was originally based on Crabtree’s WTS Worlds 2.4 but now contains several innovations, many new systems, new ships, weapons, and a couple of new concepts too - but I won’t specify them here.
I hope to be able to release the mod shortly but have been delayed due to RL issues and show-stopping errors which are now mainly resolved with many thanks to Bejaymac for his persistent sur advice and Lancer Solurus for his FL Error Checker suite. Next step is to check out my pal Chips’ Path Generator utility and perform final systems checks, as quickly as my limited free time allows.
Hope to see you soon at www.rrjds.com, www.rrjds.com/forum and of course on our server, “An RRJDS TNG Mod Server”, IP address 209.25.178.120 port 2302

Thank you Bas, appreciated.
Hello chaps.
Our mod - RRJDS 2.82 - “The Prophecy” - is up on our web server for downloading, finally got it out.
Our server is currently running TNG but we will switch within a few days.
We are the RRJDS (Reputation Repair and Judicial Distribution Specialists) Guild.
We are a Merchant and Didactic Guild, making vast capital growth by mentoring and trading goods equipment and knowledge to and with our players. Like the Brakiri Syndicracy, which we believe is modelled on us in a time and space far, far away…. Cool
We maintain our server(s) with adherence to our Three Pillars of Virtue - to play with and treat other players with Fairness, Sportsmanship and Honour. Most of our players are over 40. I ain’t saying my age!
Our players must have working “career” characters to earn their living, and all must play a part. There are careers of every aspect to choose from - Mercenaries and Escorts for hire, Traders, Explorers, Bounty Hunters, Buccaneers, Outlaws, Fugitives, and others with bounties on themselves or to win. All are expected to appear frequently to hunt / be hunted!
We organise events for all-comers to join our server for a specific bash. We need an Event Organiser too, any kind and responsible volunteer?
We need more working members for our Guild, they are all expected to carry out certain real-life Guild tasks to maintain our standards and practices.
Any chance you could promote us please if you are happy with our standards and methods after checking us out?
Our Website is www.rrjds.com
Our Forum is www.rrjds.com/forum
Very Many Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the nice comments guys, you’ve cheered me up! ;D

Star Trader, I’ll definitely be checking your mod out - don’t have as much time right now for role play, but how could a freelancer person not be interested in that intro?? Way to go m8 ! - for the standards you represent as well as your longevity ….
The Fish Salutes you

Thank ye, kind sir!

Greetings, i have read over a bit of your website and your ideas intrigue me, i wish to subscribe to your weekly newsletter and/or get a hold of one of you for more information and such.

Hi MFGusto, sorry it took me so long to find your message and reply.
Please come to our forum & post up, read our members’ comments, and have a look at our mod, you can download it from our forums.
We’re a bunch of older guys, the benefit is we don’t blast every newcomer we see, we help you get started. We won’t lend big money loans to get you a big bad ship without sweat, instead we will team up with you and help you amass your first fortune quickly, enjoyably, and by your own sweat and panic!
Look for Dark Uncle, Hierarchy, Kindred, Lestard, Mystify, who have the most knowledge of our new mod already, but anyone on the server will be happy to help.
We unfortunately have some irritating bugs in our mod that we hope to resolve shortly, but our slant on Freelancer is a little different, as you will see from your starting ship & role!
We hope it will appeal to a variety of players, and we hope to see you there soon.
As others have recommended, do try several mods, you can download them from their parent websites, but you will need Freelancer Mod Manager to change between them. You can get it from most mod forums including ours. If you have problems just put up a post and you will get help.
All the best whichever way you decide to go.
