I just played 4.86 a couple of hours, cause i had some Freelancer-Language-Version-Issues a few days before (which are solved now - i got a engl.Copy of a friend).
As far as i played, the new 4.86 feels pretty good (new gameplay mechanics [Cruise speed decrease while turning, e.g.])!
Many new Icons, and other improved graphics helps to make an even more tight atmosphere.
The server-client instability issue was fixed right after the 4.86 came out.
Altogether i have to give a big KUDOZ to the development team, to make all this happen!
Thanks for ur effort, which makes Freelancer Discovery even more fun to play!
