if im right and youre talking about moddb, you won’t need any development team. besides there are sure some lone modders over here who would like to help you essentially with your project if you need it and have time to organize it. on the other hand there are multiple lone modders who did their mods without any team and got results worthy even more than being mentioned.

Heh thats cool to know in all points of your post there. But i tried to put Evelacer onto the Moddb site and it was saying i needed to have a devliopment company, or add one and they require at lest two people int a company and a website ect ect to prove it also.

As for helpers, I could use some scripters to help with missions and such. As with helping me with the ini files to get it all working smooth. I’m going to keep cugging away at the ships, and how they are put together.

I have also thought about taking this mod OUT of 88Flak as I’ve been reading about how it messes up the missions and well Eve is not eve without missions sooo. I’ll have to ask FoxBox how he got his really kick ass AI and how I can move it to my mod.

If You are interested in helping with “Evelancer” drop a message in my inbox, and I’ll get to it asap, Its finals this next two weeks and I’m not going to be online a lot. Well i SHOULDN"T be anyways. Anyways Laters and thanks for all the input i have recived.

Lonestar out . . . .

if you don’t want to make a website, you could possibly just e-mail them, explaining what you want, what your mod is, and a link to this thread.

just some stats from http://www.moddb.com/mods/discovery-freelancer, and i doubt they have reached the max yet.

• 260 player flyable ships in the game total, of which 225 are introduced by Discovery;
• About 110 new player flyable ship models introduced by version 4.85;
• 134 systems in the game total, of which 79 are introduced by Discovery;
• 11 new systems in 4.85, with about 30 systems receiving significant updates in the latest version;
• 448 bases in the game total, of which about 275 are introduced by Discovery;
• 91 factions in the game total, 44 new factions added by Discovery, of which 11 were introduced by version 4.85;
• Over 100 new weapons introduced in 4.85, upping the number of new Discovery weapons above 200;
• 46 new commodities introduced in 4.85, with multiple new trade routes;
• 117 role-playing IDs in Discovery, of which 53 introduced by version 4.85;
• About 10,000 new infocard texts introduced by Discovery, of which about 7,000 added or rewritten for 4.85.

Excellent work lone! i will be following this daily!

actually why not to do a total conversion with realistic size relations. that would push FL rly forward as a mass critique point is that the size relations are sometimes - let’s say - ridiculous.

i geus the fact that a titan cant even dock in eve would be a reason you can have it in, just make players in a titan be able to logout without docking. but there has to be some kind of cloaking device.

good to hear from you, are you planning on having Mining Ships? also, ships that give bonus’s to mining (orca )

sadly, i lost me copy of Freelancer, AGAIN. i know its somewhere, just have to find it.

will you be able to apply the skins to vanilla freelancer so we can have a look at em in Storyline?

Yes, There Orca, and Roqual WILL be in the game, But They will have specialized roles and so far are undefined. I have already flown a Orca and its a pain in the butt, because its just so dang huge. Much bigger than Norfolk shipyard. And i have a autopilot trouble with it that needs to be addressed so it can dock and not get blow up. I had that happen to me five times before I removed the ship again.

yeah, big ships can be a pain. will you be able to add Insurance? like you buy a insurance token, and when you lose your ship, you get some cash back?

and if the orca is too big, what about titans. they are atleast 10x as big as a orca. way out of the freelancer scale.

I’m amazed CCP gave permission for their models to be used, this opens a huge can of worms for this community for sure. Expect to see EVE ships flooding in from all angles in future mods. Good luck with your mod!

if anything, allowing their models to be used would generate traffic for their game, and BTW, on that note, if anyone wants a free trial, contact me!

Hey there all,

I’m back after a looong time away, I have moved and College is taking up a lot of my time. I have been thinking about the weapons on the ships and I’m thinking of incressing the weapon mounts for the ships, But I’m need to look at all the ships and the eve ships.

I like the idea of no free flight warp and have beacons to make people align to them to go. Maybe have a becon 2 to 5 km away from each planet, station, and jump gate and have people use them to fly toward.

I’ll crunch some numbers and try to get you some more Eve-online like ships. But Just to let you all know I have to fill an order of 20 candles by friday so this week is shot for work on the mod.

got some suggestions

Steath Bombers
Manticore:
Mass 150 | 600 Hitpoints | Class 4 sheild | 3 class 5 missles | 1 class 10 Mine Launcher (bomb launcher) |200 cargo 200 power | 2000 capacity | 260 m/s | Cloaked 130 m/s

large radius mine with loads of damage, cant hit self but hits everything else, dangerous to use near friends or allies.
same thing with normal mine launchers/smartbombs
rank1-2 mine SMALL
rank 3-4 MEDIUM
rank 5-6 LARGE
rank 7-8 X-L
rank 9 small bomb
rank 10 bomb

small mines are for minelaying frigs
medium are for cruisers
large are for battleships
(as in game)
XL are for Capitals
small bombs are for the Stealth Bomber
Bomb is for the widow

Missiles, make different kinds of missiles, smaller ones are faster and can hit smaller ships, larger ones cant
(explosion radius, range, dmg, rate of fire)
rank 1, defender (small short low high)
rank2, Light missile (Small short low high)
rank3, Assault Missile (small shorter medium high)
rank4, Heavy Missile (medium medium medium medium)
rank5, Cruise Missile (medium long medium slow)
rank6, Torpedo (Large Large medium very slow)
rank7-9, Multi Launchers, higher ROF
rank7 Multi-Heavy
rank8 Mutli-Cruise
rank9 Multi-Torpedo
rank10 Citadel Torpedo

Multi launchers are for capital ships to reduce amount of gun slots used, it gets hard having 6-10 slots eh?
citadels are for Titan’s.

ADD MORE GUNS one gun for a rookie ship/interceptor ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
HALF THE DMG AND ADD ANOTHER!
as you notice interceptors in EVE have a min of 8 guns!

pretty please do sansha’s ships as Nomad i will love you forever!
have 3 kinds of each gun, normal, t2, and faction
(its easy enuff to just copy a file in freelancer, rename it, and tweak some numbers)

remove the trade lanes and make warp (cruise speed) higher, turn OFF free flight for cruise so player have to actually align (i can see problems with exploring here) you could add in Beacons to fix that problem that show up system wide

add in Fighter ships! these are small and nimble!, you know the wingman mod for Flack 88? use em for that!

hope to see some pictures, or even a beta, soon!

some usefull tools i used to use:
