Yes, it will remain the same. You better first change to ID and then /resetrep. Many IDs have set reputations toward certain factions

I see, thanks

Noob here. I've landed on quite a few bases where the only NPCs are robots and there is nothing for sale and no missions to be had. What's the purpose of these bases?

[Erremnart]

If they have a healthbar, they are Player Owned Bases. They only serve as a storage and manufacturing for certain special ship modules.

They never offer missions.

Hi,

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I have setup a simple server to play on but enemies keep running away from me rather than fighting.

Is there any way to make the enemies attack me rather than run away or increase their difficulty?

At the moment I just kill the enemies near the jump holes when I explore but I managed to get all the way to the Corsair homeworlds without getting attacked. This also happens on the low level missions on bases, the NPC's don't fight back, but they do on the higher level missions.

Battleships and stations attack me naturally but the NPC fighters/trade lane distruptions ignore me.

Thanks to anyone who can spare some time to help.

I just joined the server today. Everything worked great when I first logged on. When I came back in, my HUD was incomplete. It would not show my speed or distance to target. Anyone know what this is or how to fix it?

Someone with more tech saavy probably has a better answer - a reinstall of both the base Freelancer game and the Discovery mod. Make sure you follow each step in the installation as well.

It ain't about what you are capable of, it's about what you're willing to do.

Did a fresh install and it is still the same. I had that info on my HUD when I first started playing. Anyone else have an idea how to get it back?

Hello,

i used to play on Hamburg City Server a while ago and trading there was lucrative. However, the freelancer companion does not work with discovery and all the base sell prices seem to get deleted after every update. is there any way to know where to buy/ sell goods for profit? I have mined iridium ore and used to see sell prices from the stations i visited. but its reset again. its kinda like flying blind

Hi Dragonheart. The public version of FLC won't work with Discovery, because we've implemented a feature that allows for split buy and sell prices for a commodity at the same base. Due to this, FLC doesn't know how to read our price data.

There is a modded version of FLC linked on our Discord that gets around this, but I would personally recommend using Darkstat instead:
