New Kid on the Bloc

[Jonathan_Archer_nx01]

When Freelancer came out in 2003, I enjoyed it very much (made through sp twice). A lot of time has passed since then, and recently I was looking for another space-sim but soon I realised that nothing better had been released, at least in my opinion.

So I wanted to try Freelancer again, but this time online. Was very disappointed when I learnt that global server had been shut down :(

Subsequently I was looking for the largest FL multiplayer community(I dislike empty servers) and that's how I found Discovery....with google, meh.

It's been more than a month now and some of you may have heard of me. Honestly, I'm not an trouble free player.

My first impressions of the mod are very good. Firstly, I was very surprised to see pilotable cap ships but also scared to see their amount of hit points and damage dealt by their turrets. I later found out that it is actually hard for capital ships (except for gunboats) to pursue and hunt down dodging pilots flying fighters and the bombers have too ........ Uh, maybe I should stop this OT now. There is a section/thread for everything. Basically, all my criticism is about several balance issues, so I'll be posting some feedback later.

Cheers
