Yes Dboys right

We have a new teamspeak server and channels for each disco clan/faction

Its a 500 slot server so dont worry about comming in and saying hi.

Its a lot of fun to see everyone here as with one server everyone can talk instead of many servers with no one or only a few on each.

Thanks!

Discovery Freelancer 4.81 Released

After several weeks of multiplayer beta testing, Discovery Freelancer 4.81 is ready! The mod is available for download from our forums and was already submitted to Lancer's Reactor and ModDB.com.



Version 4.81 introduces almost three hundred new systems into the mod, 29 of them clan systems. Many original Freelancer limitations were removed: maximum item price is now 1 billion instead of 10 million, player credit limit increased to 2 billion. Capital ship shields and turrets have several ranks now, making balance issues a thing of the past. 4.81 also features a number of notable new ships and items, everything carefully tested.

You can download Discovery Freelancer 4.81 from here:

Discoverygc.com Changed Hosting

Hosting change for Discovery forums was completed today. The board is now fully functional. Database was restored, all posts, users and attachments are still available, so you may post just like before. Discovery Wiki will be restored during the next few days.

Stay with Discovery!

Global server where all available Freelancer servers were listed is offline for quite a while now. As Microsoft was planning to drop support for Freelancer in the next months, current problem doesn't look like an occasional failure.

However, there are alternative ways to connect to Discovery Freelancer 24/7 (and any other Freelancer server) easily.

I. Change Freelancer shortcut

First of all, you need a valid Freelancer shortcut. The shortcut should point to Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe file.

Amend Target: field of shortcut properties with ip:port, so that it looks like

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe -s207.192.239.85:2302

If this setup doesn't work, add quotes before and after the path:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe" -s207.192.239.85:2302

After you double-click this shortcut, Freelancer will launch like it always does. However, when you'll select Multiplayer in main menu and choose either LAN or Internet, you'll immediately see Discovery server, if it is online. There's no difference between LAN and Internet options, except when using Internet the game will attempt to connect to global server.

II. Use Freelancer Web Launcher

Freelancer Web Launcher is a small, but useful program by Louva-Deus (EOA Player Consortium). You can get it here:
http://eoa.seriouszone.com/?page=flweblauncher

After installation, open this link in any browser:

freelancer://207.192.239.85:2302/

Freelancer will launch, and Discovery will immedately appear in server list, like described in (I). As an alternative to the link, you may use this internet shortcut:
