Discovery 4.79 Open Singleplayer

Open SP for Discovery 4.79 is largely similar to Open SP for 4.78, but in the newer version you may choose new systems added in 4.79 as starting places.

This modification completely removes storyline from original game. It also allows you to choose your starting location, starting reputation and credits while activation. Changing uniform is possible from original Discovery activation menu.

Install notes

Freelancer Mod Manager v1.3 is needed to activate this modification.

First activate Discovery 4.79 mod, then Open SP. You will see a warning that Open SP mod conflicts with Discovery mod. Confirm activation (press Yes). You will see one more confirmation screen. Press Yes again.

Open SP is for singleplayer only, don't forget to deactivate it while online play. Deactivating Open SP will cause Discovery mod to deactivate too, but you can safely activate Discovery again afterwards.
