I know that I haven't been online for much time lately, sorry, but there's no other choice. Just too many other things to do. Moreover, I won't be able to complete the new mod version until end August. Your suggestions for 4.76 changes are still welcome.
No one offered help with further mod development, though I did request on forums and in the mod readme/description. This means that most probably I won't include any custom ships or new systems in this mod, cause it's the most difficult part of the job. I'd like to have new high-quality systems for Discovery, but for now it's impossible. Honestly I did expect that the probability of anyone offering help is very low.
So for 4.76 I'm planning only bugfixes, balance enhancements and maybe some new commodities and items. No more.
The server will still run and I'll keep it up as long as I'll be able to. In November or maybe December, when Oblivion will be released, I'll probably switch to Oblivion modding if things go as planned. Freelancer server will still run, but don't expect any further mod updates (except for bugfixes) anytime in 2006. Until December 2005 Discovery will be updated and new features will be added.
