Reinstalled Freelancer after it gathered dust for a long time. I downloaded this mod for it, hoping to enjoy the game more than I did last time. If you really enjoyed freelancer, then you should enjoy this mod. They took out quite a few exploits, like bribes. They added tons of stuff to the game, ships, weapons, etc. You can buy capital ships in MP with this mod, but I dont think you can use them in SP.
One thing that really bothered me was the start of the third or was it fourth mission. Everytime I was killed right after the cutscene, before I could do anything. I had to put the game into god mode in order to finish the first part of the mission.
I do remember why I stopped playing this game and never finished it. Travelling is such a pain. I dont even mind the jumpgates, but if you have a pirate faction as an enemy, then it is hard to fly through the sector without having the a jumpgate disabled and having to duke it out. Now I can understand the pirates wanting to jump a large freighter, but why on earth would they want to jump a single fighter ship. Not being able to bribe makes it even more difficult. I dont know if I will finish the game any further, so I cannot comment on if the faction re-alignments are more in tune with the storyline or not.
