ModDB Mod of the Year-2008 has started!
|
Posted By: Igiss @ Jan 5 2009, 06:45 PM

Since January 2, the 2008 Mod of the Year (MOTY) contest is taking place on ModDB.com website. This annual contest is held 7th time already; in 2006 and 2007, Discovery Freelancer has reached the MOTY Top-100, and has received a Genre Award as the best simulation mod in 2006 (next year, genre awards were no longer present). If you wish to help Discovery to achieve a place in the Top-100 of the best mods for 2008, or maybe even win one of the awards, please vote for us!
How to vote? First, you will need to register (if you haven't already) and log in to ModDB.com. Unregistered votes are not counted, unless there's a tie.
Second, open Discovery profile on ModDB: http://www.moddb.com/mods/discovery-freelancer
Third, scroll down towards the center of the page. You will see a large "VOTE FOR MOD" button. Press it.
Once you are logged in, you can also leave comments and set your rating for Discovery mod on the profile page, and browse other mods for Freelancer and numerous other games. |

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

2008 has become the first year in the history of Discovery when it was never updated. The concept for the new version, Discovery 4.85: Reunion, proved to be so extensive and complicated that we simply did not have time to finalize it earlier. However, the progress is evident, and later next year - when it’s ready! - we will deliver the largest update Discovery ever had. We don’t have similarly ambitious plans for further versions, and they should take less time to develop.
The year was complicated one for the community: as you probably remember, some of our server administrators left, and we were in constant search for new admin talents. The search proved to be a successful one, and while I am not mentioning anyone in particular here, I must thank all of our administrators for their hard work and dedication, especially those who volunteered to perform the necessary routine duties when literally everyone else was away, and those who found time to help with mod development in addition to their usual admin tasks.
New challenges arose as we chose to form a large team working on various aspects of the mod development and testing. Keeping the team organized and focused in the right directions proved to be harder than anyone could expect, but the experience gained this year will be invaluable in developing future Discovery updates.
Last, but not least: Freelancer is by no means dead! Despite more than 5 years have passed since the game’s release, our server and community is growing larger each year. There are new players who abandoned Freelancer long before they knew about Discovery, or never played unmodded game at all. Despite the dated graphics, despite server limitations Freelancer still has no competitors in terms of playability, and Discovery will be there in 2009 to make it even more enjoyable and fun to play.
And now: Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! Good luck and best wishes for the next year, and have great holidays! |

Gallia Factions Announced

Gallia Factions Announced

An official thread describing Gallia factions their diplomacy status was posted on our main forums today. Descriptions posted are the final ones that you will see in the game, written by myself (Igiss), proofread by Xoria.
Thread is open for comments and speculations, and you are welcome to post feedback of various sorts.
QUOTE The Council
ALLIES: The Maquis ENEMIES: Gallic Royal Navy, Gallic Royal Police
The Council is a powerful Gallic group that secures the political heritage of Mouvement de Liberation Gaulois (Gallic Liberation Movement), disbanded by King Louis IV in 720 A.S. Initially a secret society inside the Movement, Council absorbed many of the former Liberalists after 720 A.S., acting almost openly and growing in numbers and strength exponentially both on populated planets and in space. Considering the intentional isolation from the rest of the Sirius colonies a grave mistake that greatly harms the wellbeing of the whole nation, the Council has been fighting a war since 784 A.S. to break through the isolation and prevent the inter-house war planned by the Gallic royal dynasty and the Gallic Navy. Comprised of former Navy and Police officers as well as civilians, the Council cares about its reputation in the public eye, never attacking civilian convoys, passenger liners or trading ships unless provoked. Although its members are considered outlaws by Gallic officials, many civilians secretly sympathize with their goals, or even support them, financially or otherwise. |

DiscoveryFL.com and Discovery Wiki change hosting

DiscoveryFL.com and Discovery Wiki change hosting
|
Posted By: Igiss @ Sep 27 2008, 07:26 PM

Today, DiscoveryFL.com website and Discovery Wiki moved to another hosting provider, along with certain resources previously associated with DiscoveryGC.com domain. Those resources are mainly files provided for download, including previous version of the mod itself. Most links were already changed, but if you experience trouble in downloading certain files previously hosted on discoverygc.com/files, you may try changing address to discoveryfl.com/files.
New host will allow more freedom in hosting files, exchanging development resources, and further expanding our presence in world wide web. In future we may create a repository containing all or most of the previous Discovery mod versions, which was impossible on the previous host. Now the change is complete, and you are welcome to continue using our website and wiki. Stay with Discovery! |

Discovery 4.85 System Map

A long time has passed since the last official update about Discovery 4.85: Reunion. Today we present you one of the latest results of our work: the complete system map of Discovery 4.85. This map is not subject to change until the final mod release; future changes will mostly be cosmetic. Central part of the map can be seen below.
This map for version 4.84 was first created by XEALUS for one of the Discovery-based Freelancer servers. Edits for version 4.85 by Igiss, used with permission.
You can see the whole map by following this link: http://discoverygc.com/files/discoverymap.jpg or clicking the image itself. Post your feedback in this forum thread. |
