Old Newbie - Minstrel - 10-05-2023
Hi all, not a returning Disco vet but a vet none the less. I started playing FL vanilla in 2003, SP then MP, gave up for a few years (very busy) found Crossfire many years ago and played there for a few years. Now nostalgia drives me back, to discover a whole new universe here! Hope to bump unto you all on the server.

Hi and welcome to the community! You are just in time for tomorrow's Patch 5.0 release, which will thoroughly overhaul the game.

Welcome and have fun.
We do have a new version appearing so it is likely to be a bit of a jolt, not really a problem for yourself but we may have more fixing and patching than usual which may be a little disruptive in the short-term.

Just in time to catch the fun then
Probably a great time to learn.

Just spotted your "Veteran Aid" program - I presume this is for Discovery Vets only? My 20 years of history with the game in general counts for nothing? (Except maybe a slight edge in a fight with another newbie)

First of all welcome to Discovery!
Second, i'm not sure you will be eligible but you can apply and see. If not i suggest you try the /showrestarts command ingame and see what factions you can start from.

Hello
RE: Old Newbie - Minstrel - 10-07-2023
Well, just a wee update to my beginner status. Things went way beyond expectations on the first day and I ended up with a Pirate transport (Bullpup) and trading very happily. Day 2 brought the Update and adjustments must be made! Trading is not going to be nearly as easy, I can see that. In despair I tried to install Freelancer Companion to help me find my way. Doesn't work cos I can't find the installation folder to point it to. When installing Discovery I tried to follow the instruction not to install it in the same directory as vanilla but the install wouldn't work unless I DID install to the same directory. Any hints on how I can fix this?
