How did YOU first find out about discovery?

[Lucend]

Space simulators were always a passion of mine, but for some reason I just didn't run into them that often. I liked the old old Space Simulator program that came on 5 floppies, then I moved on to Starcraft and C&C.

Anyway, I friend online told me about Discovery. Okay, I said, I'd try this game. So I downloaded the "game," (Wow, I said, it's free!) and attempted to install it, but couldn't understand why it didn't play. Couldn't find an .exe, then when I did, it said I was missing DLLs.

I started to google the problem feverishly hoping to come up with a solution, but right before I posted on the forums, I saw -directly on the forums- that it was a MOD OF FREELANCER. I must have head desked, like, five times.

Boy meets mod, boy misunderstands mod, boy almost deletes mod out of anger, boy finally understands mod then falls in love with Gamma.

Typical romance.

"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
