Freeworlds: Tides of War is a fan built Star Wars total conversion mod for Digital Anvil's Freelancer game that was released several years ago. When fans began to make mods for Freelancer, one of the many things people were keen on seeing was a Freelancer mod based on the Star Wars universe developed by George Lucas. Freeworlds and Tides of War were the answer to this outcry. The development team of both mods have now joined forces to create an epic new Star Wars TC, Freeworlds: Tides of War.
Lately, the development team has been working on adding a dozen of new systems into the mod. Those new systems are very tiny and represent the connection between the main systems : in the Star Wars universe, several jumps were often required to go to your destination.
You can compare the new map with the latest that is still in the "Features" section on Moddb. The Deep Core is a project you'll be given more details about later.
blasphemy. I don't see mandalore!
same here
Same here.
NOOO not Mandalore! We need our Mandalorian bad *****!
Mandalore will probably never, ever, ever be in FW:ToW because there aren't that many MN in our timeline of 8-12ABY to warrent a system, ships, etc.
Sorry gents. You'll have to make do with our 107 other ships and 7 other factions ;)
I understand, although there are a few madalorian starfighters you might want to look at adding, even if mandalore isn't a planet in game. Look into the gladiator Starwars.wikia.com
Great representation of the real galactic map:

Personally, though, I think that Kashyyyk should be moved down and the link to Yavin be broken, with the Hydian Way being added from Coruscant to Horuset, to make it more realistic. Note, though, that this is only Personal Preference.
The Coruscant-Kashyyyk path can be seen as a part of the Perlemian Trade Route. Kashyyyk is quite at the south of it, actually, but we haven't got any systems belonging to the Hydian Way neither : Coruscant and Horuset are far away from this one too. Given that there were no official route to join these systems, we decided to link Yavin to Kashyyyk for gameplay purpose : this way, Coruscant is more protected from northern invasions.
I agree on moving Kashyyyk down, though.
what about byss? or KAMINO!?
Kamino really isn't important in the grand scheme of things during this time period.
and Byss may be somewhere in this huge Deep Core :)
nice
So... where do you start?
depends on your faction.
So we have a character selection screen at the beginning of the mod. So if you choose to be Corellian, you'll automatically get a corellian ship, corellian reputation and you'll start on a corellian base. Equally can be said with the other factions.
*vader* most impressive. /*vader*

AAAH where is the Planet Kalee? ARGH WHAT A SHAME.
I have to stop coming here until December 15th, i'm going to have a stroke. The posiblilties! I imagine a new character with a new back story everytime I see new ships, maps, effects and game systems. How do you do it?!? I am just baffled by the extent/quality of work.
I will say it again:
FW:ToW = Epic Win
