May I ask you a question?

Why is it imperative that nothing new has been added to the mod? In Shattered Worlds : War-Torn content was added to fill in perceived balance issues in vanilla (i.e. Corsairs and Outcasts having the best equip and added ships to factions that were suck with the civilian starflier/hawk/eagle shipline).

It is not a must that nothing new be added, but it is much preferred. It is just that when I look at other vanilla-esk mods, I see that they have added quite a lot of new ships, equipment and occasionally even changed some aspects of gameplay. In my view, Freelancer can be balanced without doing these things. There are already plenty of ships in the stock version. The reason most of them go unused is because there is no balance among them.

I played on a pure vanilla server a long time ago, and most people flew eagles. There were a few people who flew other ships, but they were a definite minority. It just made me sad that no one could really fly anything else without majorly handicapping themselves.

I feel that the different ship classes should be balanced out with and within each other. Any ship should be able to take down any other, they just would require different playstyles. Of course, once the ships and their classes are balanced out, then the equipment would have to get the same treatment. Then any individual could use any ship they like with any equiment it can equip, and have an equal shot at taking down others.

I would like for this to be compatible with the storyline (single player) as well. Since I believe that would make things much more enjoyable. Once you get to the point where you find a ship you like, you do not have to change ships just so that you can survive later on.

And to HunterKiller: I will take a look at Big Daddy’s mod to see if it is what I am looking for, thanks.

Also, sorry for taking so long to respond. I am not used to checking these forums, so I forgot about them for a while.

Thanks for your reply, but I have already searched here and ModDB. I was looking for a mod that balanced the original game’s ships/equipment that added nothing new (or next to nothing).

Since I have been unable to find such a beast, I suppose I will have to look into making one myself.

I thought that I remembered seeing something about a mod which only balanced the existing stock Freelancer ships and equipment a long time ago. I was interested in trying such a thing out, but I can not seem to find it. I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about a mod like this.

Ideally, what I am looking for is a mod which balances Freelancer’s ships (and equipment) with each other and is compatible with the single player story.
