Discovery mod is a full-scale expansion pack for Freelancer focused on continuing the story started in the vanilla campaign via the roleplay-driven multiplayer server an community forums. The mod and community currently host the most active remaining multiplayer experience for Freelancer and the mod introduces many new features including but not limited to new ship classes and types, ship equipment, player owned (and built) bases, jumpdrives, cloaking devices and equipment manufacturing as well as the ability to create, run and maintain player-led factions that shape, contribute and are a part of the ingame roleplay environment. This multiplayer-focused mod allows players to immerse themselves in the Freelancer world some time after the Nomad War from the singleplayer experience.

HHHmmmm...Discovery has over extended the delay on its 4.86 update by far too long, even when it does arrive once the new systems are explored it will soon become jaded and tedious again, a great shame for this once great mod, now populated online by mostly veteran players it is far too easy to beat the anti cheat and spoil the new guys fun there, hence the drop in players. Was great once, give it a miss unless you play offline only.
