A short survey - How did you find Discovery?

[Langolier]

I was a VERY late arrival to FL. I had no idea the game even existed untill mid 2012. A friend of mine gave me a few of his old PC games and one of them was Freelancer. I have always been a sci-fi, space fan, so I was immediately hooked. Quite impressive for a game that was already 9 years old at that point.

After playing through the story mode several times, and exploring the entire Sirius sector, I moved on to other games. Sometime back in mid 2015, I got the urge to play again. Having played games like Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout, I had been exposed to the wonderful world of mods. So, I fired up good old Google and began looking for something that would breathe new life into this classic game.

I have never been a big multiplayer fan, mostly because of all the trolls that environment tends to attract, so I was looking for something that expanded on the SP story mode. That led me to download the Crossfire mod. I was impressed with what they had done, and decided to give MP a shot. That was, disappointing, to say the least. There were never more than 5 to 10 people online at any given time, and these were of the troll variety I mentioned earlier.

So, I began to search again and happened across Spazzy's (aka. sindroms) Youtube videos. The idea of a community dedicated not only to keeping this game alive, but to provide a good RP experience as well piqued my interest. So I found the mod on ModDB, downloaded it, and have been playing almost everyday since January of this year.

So it wasn't one thing in particular, but a combination of many that brougt me into the Disco fold. Regardless of the circumstances of how I got here, I am happy I did. And I would just like to thank not only the mod developers and admins for a job well done, but the community as a whole for keeping this gem of a game alive, and providing a good reason to enter the 'verse once more. I salute you all!
