Freelancer: War-Torn mod for Freelancer

Description

Freelancer: War-Torn is a mod for the Freelancer game that sets itself apart with gorgeous graphics, a total rebalance, an astonishing amount of new, innovative features, and an exciting storyline. Featuring a completely new arsenal, fully rebalanced ship combat, heavy tweaking of all the vanilla systems on top of many new ones and more eye candy than you could ever imagine, FLWT is one mod to look forward to. Created and imagined by the twisted minds of programexpert and CheeseOnToast, it will boast what both can do best: high polish, high quality and feature heavy modding goodness!

Storyline (As of March 22nd, 2008)

War, raging for decades... The one plague we thought was a matter from the past comes back to haunt us. Always. What began as a peaceful expedition motivated by survival is now an all out war for supremacy. Already, armies are massing on the borders. It all started some six years ago. What seemed like the greatest discovery of mankind in the Sirius sector might now be the dawn of our extinction. The technology, called Mass Phasing, can shatter bodies in smaller and smaller components, up to subatomic levels. Furthermore, it can then reverse the process and basically create mass from energy after transforming mass into energy. This discovery could open the doors of a new golden age for Humanity. Unfortunately, its first purpose was predictable: war. Samura Industries, the minds behind this massive breakthrough, lost an experimental weapon during an undercover shipment. Soon afterwards, Rheinland is rumored to have access to a weapon of unbelievable strength. Worried, the Kusari government expects the worst. However, Rheinland surprises everyone by concluding a durable alliance with Kusari and declaring war on Liberty, destroying the planet Houston. Bretonia comes to aid Liberty and the Houses War... Has begun.
