Shattered Worlds:War-torn

Mod review

Absolutely the most mature, most balanced and IMHO the nicest looking mod for Freelancer.

Pros:
The graphical superiority doesn't come from some stupid shiny bloom effect but great, precise, hand-made textures and models. Trade lane animation is also the coolest.
Ship classes with different speeds and specials (eg. double thrusters, 2 second cruise warmup) are revolutionary.
Weapons are very balanced. Energy usage is calculated from range and projectile speed.
Ore miner ships and mineable asteroids are good stuff.
Flyable trains (jumbo transports) and capital ships. Turrets and freighter shields are empowered. (Big sized guns equal big slaps, am I right?)

Cons:
Difficult to start in multiplayer as ships are rather expensive.
Ships' turn speed and power generator stats are not shown in the details.
(It still leaves the currently most popular mod - Discovery in the dust.)
