Discovery Freelancer 4.85: Reunion pre-release trailer now available news

Discovery Freelancer

Freelancer mod | Released Jun 8, 2009

Discovery mod was designed as a full-scale expansion pack for Freelancer that adds diverse new content and yet remains balanced for online play, is stable, and is as bug-free as possible. Discovery 4.85 is the largest ever update for the mod. We introduced 110 new ship models, with most new ships receiving custom hitboxes. More than a hundred new weapon and equipment types have been added, many with custom weapon projectile and hit effects. 11 new systems were included, and about 30 previously available systems were updated, all of them following much higher quality standards than in previous versions. The mod now has a renewed balance system for weapons, equipment and ships, plus a fully revamped economy system that provides profitable routes for all locations and factions. To add depth to the new economy, 46 new commodity types were introduced. The role-playing identity system has received 53 new ID items. The new version also contains about 7000 new and rewritten infocard texts.

Today, we are releasing the trailer for Discovery Freelancer 4.85: Reunion mod by Discovery Dev Team. The trailer was created by 13CentKiller using actual in-game footage and custom music, and showcases a number of new ships, new systems, storyline events, and action sequences taking place in newly added locations. Yet, what the trailer shows is just a small fraction of what you will be able to see in the game after the mod is released.

The release of first public beta of the mod is expected on Discovery official server (Discoverygc.com) soon enough, and we will be uploading more screenshots to the ModDB gallery shortly.

Check the trailer on the official YouTube Discovery Mod Channel and on the ModDB.com Discovery profile.

I think considering all you are seeing is some imagies of bases and a couple of NPC battles that realy are a tiny part of the mod. That this "Pre release trailor" is epic. Nothing needs to happen you can see the awsomness just watching this. And not a single person used to pull it off. Apart from the camera man.

and even more so since this actually isnt played by humans...all "action" (and there is plenty) is pure NPCs...now add player into account and you get hell of a game...

Well, I liked the trailer. My initial thought about "Discovery" title was 'Ooo is this some sort of exploration game in space?'

It seems not, but you do have nice looking systems and bases there. Though I don't really play freelancer...:P
