What is NSU
Nightstalker's Universe Mod has been in the works for 9 years, the mod itself has gone though many incarnations including being rewritten several times. The concept of NSU is to give SciFi junkies what they are looking for. There are several sections of the mod dedicated to different SciFi Shows such as, BSG, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Firefly, and Star Wars. There are several sections of the mod that come from different ideas I have come up with and each system is uniquely different with custom suns, starspheres, and a few planets. The Mod has a lot to offer for a wide range of players. At the start you are given 5 choices though the use of one way jump holes (one in ST, SW, B5, Nightstalker Space, Terran Alliance Space). There are also 4 unique Factions in the mod, including Rogue Asteroids, Comets, Derelicts (Moving wrecks), and monsters (They hurt too).
There is an update coming but I do not have a date as of yet for release.

Is this Mod still functional and its server?
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
I really liked this mod, one of the most polished Freelancer mod out there, but it has been down for 2 months now (the ping is just question marks). It would be splendid, if you could publish the mod as an open single player game too.
whats going on with the nsu server the ping is just Question marks
It's been down since the 12th :( Not sure what's going on.
That sucks, I finally decided to come back and check it out after being away soo long. I see the server is still there, yet it hasn't worked since I reinstalled.
For those who were around when it was last up, is the Team TNT system still there and our awesome ships?
I would love to play this mod again but indeed the server ping on the server list just shows-> ????
It's back online now.
Every time I attempt to start this the game opens in windowed mode, gives a black screen and then closes, while keeping itself on the task manager.
What am I doing wrong?
I had this issue as well when trying to play again for the first time. Goto C:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\My Games\Freelancer\Accts and either delete or remove the SinglePlayer folder. Any saves in there for whatever reason cause the game to crash without loading.
