88 Flak

Freelancer mod |

88 Flak is a fast-paced combat mod for the 3D action game Freelancer by Digital Anvil. It aims to bring quick and brutal arena-like combat to Freelancer with Unreal Tournament 2004 style speed and years of refined Team Fortress inspired class balancing. In addition, it aims to expand the gameplay experience with numerous new features, including docking on player Battleships (use teammates as mobile bases), purchasable stations (private bases that shoot at hostile NPCs and players), hiring AI wingmen, dynamic AI routines (88 Flak's AI is hailed to be the best in Freelancer), ability to script story missions in multiplayer (extremely beta), AI Bots (persistent NPCs with their own reputations and loadouts), and full customization via a Freelancer Mods Manager script with configurable client-side and server-side options such as advanced graphics/audio and more.

Hey folks, it's been a real long time since I've updated this page, so I figured I'd give it a go. As some of you may be aware, 88 Flak supports the ability to hand-pick your own AI Bot wingmen squad for OpenSP or LAN usage. Well, now in addition to being able to hand-pick your wingmen, you can now select their standing orders - currently Superiority or Siege (prioritize Fighters or Capital Ships, respectively), however I plan to add more before release - such as Cover (attack only ships in your immediate vicinity), Raze (prioritize stationary gun emplacements), and Assault (prioritize bases and other solars)

Here's a picture of the selection menu in action:

This (and much more!) will be featured in the upcoming RC131 release, which will be ready for launch shortly! More articles about other new features will be posted soon as well. Enjoy!
