Independents

Freelancer mod |

Independents is a conversion mod for Freelancer set in an original universe. The mod aims to make a more immersive experience by providing more contrast and variety than vanilla Freelancer did. The mod is also lends itself more to encouraging teamwork by separating out rolls so that players can specialise more and complement each other when flying together. The current version, dubbed the Alaska Prototype, is set up for the purpose of testing ships, equipment, combat, and the basic economy of the mod. Play is confined to the Alaska system, which has been set up specifically for testing with space for three of the mod's primary factions and areas of varying levels of combat between them.
