Looking for a new multiplayer mod to play…

Avenger

Hi all,
Since the discontinuation of Freelancer: Combat Evolved (Halo TC that’s lasted four plus years FYI) a short while ago, I’m looking for a new MP mod to take it’s place, and I’ve run up against my stalwart-sticking-with-a-single-mod syndrome and I haven’t really got a clue what MP mods are still out and about, and what’s worth trying.

I’ve had a quick gander at the mod advertising board here and it seems that only Freeworlds and Flak '88 are really kicking, unless I’ve missed some, and no offense to the UnderVerse team but Riddick just isn’t my thing.

So please, tell me what I’m missing by not playing ToW or Flak, or any other MP mod.

Also, if it matters at all (IE: if any of my skills would be useful to a MP mod) I can also create ALE files (I’m a little rusty), code general .ini files and I’m a good writer for infocards/backstory/short stories etc. to boot. As is obvious, PM me if samples are required.

Many thanks,
Avenger

I’m still working on Shattered Worlds :: War-Torn. May want to check that out ^^

The other large mods around would be, of course, Discovery, Monkey Universe, New Universe, Olympus and its Nightstalker Universe mod and WTS World.

Now, that’s just a partial list of course. There are many other servers such as Hamburg City, but I can’t possibly list them all

Shattered Worlds: War-Torn: nice graphics, excellent mining system, complete rebalancing, “special weapons”

Plasmafire: Uber graphics !!

ATM no server online, but www.dfls.de and the france freelancer server arge going to use those nice graphics.

Crossfire: Also very nice graphics (for the upcoming 1.8 release), nice features (from what I do know), “Quests”, storyline, dynamic universe - but I never really played at CF.

Or maybe vanilla…?

Eh…for a nice mod overview visit www.moddb.com/games/freelancer/mods

I play Discovery
Features cap ships (most factions have at least a GB/GS and some cruisers/battleships, etc.), the 3 official servers (GC - biggest one, UK - awesome :P, and USA - <no comment=“”>) are RP with strict rules about it, and other awsome stuff
http://discoverygc.com
Really like this mod, mostly 'cos I’m rich on UK :D</no>

I wouldn’t have expected you to, 'cause I would have felt Hell freeze over.

Anyway, thanks for the replies people, I’ll now be taking a few days to have a good look over the mods you’ve suggested, then several more months of waiting until my final exams are finished.

Many thanks.
