Freelancer Mod Newbie Question

[bfollowell]

I loved Freelancer when it came out several years ago as the spiritual successor to Privateer (and all the others that came before). I played through the SP campaign and even played through MP a little bit but quickly lost interest.

I've read a lot about the Discovery mod and have downloaded it in hopes of starting a new campaign soon.

I do have one question though. Is it possible to start the Discovery mod using my last save game from the original SP campaign so that I have the same ship, money, etc. starting out or do I have to start a new campaign under Discovery?

Also, something I'd like to see under future versions of the mod, if it's even possible, are more types of missions. In the original SP game, the only missions are kill the ships. Kill the pirates, kill the outcasts, capture the pirate leader, that sort of thing. Yes, you can buy commodities and transport them from one base to another for sale on your own but these aren't really missions. In Privateer you could do this but there were also actual missions to pickup medicine from planet A and deliver to planet B. There were also escort type missions. It seems like there were another couple of types but I can't recall the details as it's been far too long. Anyway, if it would be possible to add this type of mission variety to the Freelancer universe through the Discovery mod, that would make and awesome mod even better. Just my two cents.

Thanks for all of the hard work that went into this mod guys. It's super.

Sincerely,

Hey Byron!

As to your question about transferring a char from SP to Disco, you can't do that, but you can always come on over there and some of us can help you along. MP on Disco is great...you can choose either the PvP server or RP server. Same great people on both servers too.

Not sure about the feasibility of different missions being implemented into the mod. Excellent ideas though. I'd love to be able to do different things like that.

While those ideas are solid, they have been discussed before and it's unfortunate because the missions are hard coded into the game and you can't do anything to change them.

Anyways, welcome to the server!

Verginix out
