The UnderVerse:: By Team [RIP] VER - 2.23
Freelancer mod | Released Apr 23, 2009
Welcome to the UnderVerse! Featuring: This is a Role Play server, not a PvP server. Adjust to our rules and have fun The UV Credits Can be Seen Here. Some of the special things in the UnderVerse: We have supplied complete custom voices for two pilots, one docking character and Mission Commission Our speed tests on our dedicated server show an uncapped 34 kbps upload and 19 kbps download bandwidth. Located in Texas it should give good ping to nearly everyone. You will notice that many vanilla system ini files are included in this mod even though we don't use them. I did this to give away the fixes I made over the time this mod was being worked on. Just be aware that they may have UV-unique corrections, so you should probably wait until later when I will put out a utility so you can use them in your own mod. This Mod is Dedicated to [RIP]Phenomena

Based on the Chronicles of Riddick trilogy, we take you slightly into the future from the end of the third movie. It is now 30 years since Riddick sat on the throne and became the Necromonger leader. One of the first things he did was to stop the advance of the fleet into more territories and had them fall back to home space. Then he freed all who remained from the truely demolished worlds, Furyans being the first. Once news of this surfaced, other non-purified survivors began returning to their home systems to start the slow process of re-population. Riddick himself disappeared 15 years ago, his whereabouts and fate unknown.
Now the houses are stirring again.
Now the war drums are sounding again.
Where will you be when it all starts again?!

This is pointless and unarguably wrong in so many words, you have answered my question! But thank you for your response RIP-Soupman! It was a pleasure having a heated chat with you! Hope that I have not caused any pain or stress on your part from some of my comments! Please consider the fact that this is not any form of spamming, I have higher standards and I do not wish to lower my standards resulting in integrity damage control! I do wish you luck on this wonderful mod 'Underverse'and Thank you again! ;)
Anunnaki
the Sp question has been answered
Im not going to argue the point with you here any longer.
G-day all,
This is the second time I have used a quarter of my monthly download limit to download this mod and not been able to play it on LAN.
I have used reshack and get the LAN to get UV 2.23 to come up correctly.
Unfortunately whenever I create new characters and try UV,tried both the maru and the fighter, I am only able to fly around origin and no matter which JH I try I get kicked during the JH sequence.
I have the global walkaround patch installed and have successfully activated and played many other mods this way but so far trying to get UV to work on LAN, its just crash after crash and I remeber this is why I deleted the mod months ago.
Please only helpful comments.
Before anyone posts the usual play MP etc etc.
I loved Freelancer and played it for many years on a few mods.
I deffinately don't wish to play MP again, had too many bad experiences on other mods, which thoroughly destroyed my enjoyment of FL and ended in my leaving those mods and FL for years.
I came across a copy of FL earlier this year and decided I wanted to play FL again and have been working my way through those mods that work in SP,Open SP or LAN and find myself back at UnderVerse to try once again.
I do appreciate all the time and effort all the modders put into their mods and fully understand them wanting everyone to enjoy it online but as I say, I just want to try UV in LAN and hopefully regain my original enjoyement of playing FL alone.
Thank you for reading.
Cheers
Im Sorry Bluecloud But at this Time and until we release the files it is not possible to explore the mod in SP LAN or any other Mode other than on our Server..
i can tell you that if you create an acct using a [Non] Tag infront of your name No one Will Bother you in your Exploration.. we created this rule for players just like you that would like to check the Mod out but not be dragged into the role Play.. As An Admin (~Purifier~Joker) i can assure you we will see to it that you have the experience your looking for ..
At this time its About the Most i can offer ...
Oh As a News item i would likke to report we expect to release version 2.24 in the next 10 days or so with lots of new additions.. i will post a Write up asap ...
Take the First step .. the UnderVerse is Waiting for you.
Thanks RIP-Soupman,
I will try to get on and look around.
Cheers.
I've played the Crossfire and Discovery mods before. I liked them, but I always felt like they were tacked on to the normal Freelancer game.
Crossfire has some very cool ships, but they are all over the place, and some of them have not been tested well with the mod. The Crossfire universe can be very time consuming to navigate, with long flights to mystery gates. It seemed like a bunch of systems designed by different people, some of them not very well, and then cobbled together into a mod.
The Discovery mod offers very few new ships... and even most of the "new" ships look just like stock ships from normal FL.
I like the UnderVerse better by comparison, and here's why.
The systems and the universe map are totally original. There's no New York or Tokyo systems here. It's a totally new place, with new wrecks, planets, etc.
The ships are original also. There's no ships from vanilla FL in this mod at all. The UnderVerse has a LOT of new ships, and some of them are very good.
Yes, you can only play online, but it's worth it. It's kinda nice to explore the systems instead of using FLDS to figure everything out.
Everything in the UnderVerse makes sense compared to everything else. It's got some beautiful systems to look at also, and some of the system and commodity names show a wry sense of humor.
What would I change about the UnderVerse?
There's a definite absence of new gun turrets. So far I've only found 3 custom guns, and I've explored the merchant alley pretty well.
I can't seem to find a level 10 fighter shield or a shield upgrade. There are truly awesome shields for a freighter, but not much for a heavy fighter.
But on the whole, the UnderVerse is a really good mod. It feels like a professionally developed product. Did I mention the music? This might sound trivial... but it's got some kick-a$$ custom music.
First thank you for the Kind words .. we tried Very Very hard To Be original and unlike any other Mod out there.. and now to your Quote
with over 108 systems and over 400 Bases you have alot of exploring left to do... Seek and ye Shall Find
Dissapointing that there is no SP version! Not every single person wants to play multipayer 24/7 but would like to try a bit of single player to explore the mod! Be fair! :(
Until the day comes that we release all of the files then, no, it is not for singleplayer. But it works great in Multiplayer! Come and check us out. ;)
If you don't wish to interact with other players then simply name yourself with a [non] tag and everyone will leave you alone.
Thanx once again,RIP-DwnUndr! Really appreciate it! :)
