88 Flak

Freelancer mod | Released Oct 11, 2009

88 Flak is a fast-paced combat mod for the 3D action game Freelancer by Digital Anvil. It aims to bring quick and brutal arena-like combat to Freelancer with Unreal Tournament 2004 style speed and years of refined Team Fortress inspired class balancing. In addition, it aims to expand the gameplay experience with numerous new features - including docking on player Battleships (use teammates as mobile bases), ability to hire AI wingmen, dynamic AI routines (88 Flak's AI is hailed to be the best in Freelancer), ability to script story missions in multiplayer (extremely beta), advanced graphics/audio, and more. 88 Flak has been in the works since January 21, 2005, and continues to be developed today by members of the community.

Well folks, here it is. The last 1.27 beta, after nearly 3 years since the release of 1.26 (October 23, 2006). Since so much has happened with the project since 1.26, the full distributed release will probably be labeled 88 Flak 2.0.

Additionally, HazardFN has set up a new dedicated server, which supports up to 60 player slots. This server will be automatically loaded into the server list if you launch 88 Flak via the provided freelancer.bat file. The server is fully ready to rock, and everything you need can be found here: Main Server Page

Among other things, key features include refinements to the Multiplayer Scripting system, many balance adjustments, a new post-process shader written by Honken (work in progress), and nearly 20 new AI Bots to fight (see the Starport topic here). Here are some quick shots of RC129 in action:
