There is one server out there but I am not remembering the name.  I think it was Freelancer Universe.  Was vanilla with the option of buying a mining ship, transport and armored transport.

That was the only difference.  They had a shakeup a few years back and not sure where they ended.

Freelancer Discvoery si heavy (and emphasis on the heavy) role play server that does have expanded content but it is high quality.  Original ship models with detail and original textures designed to stay in the theme of Freelancer.  The role play is a bit obsessive there and the forums are a steaming cesspool of player bile and complaints against other players but it is actually a great server with good numbers of players.

Expanded beyond basic freelancer.  Lol--you realize this is "Sins"?

Is the Rebalance mod good now?  I kinda gave up on it halfway through its development cause it made everything so hard, but I liked the new features.

Freelancer may always be among my top ten games of all time.  We shall see.

Definitely Crossfire ! I think it is by far the best mod for Freelancer !

I love that game so much ! I don't have it anymore thoug is it on impulse or smth? I think nobody ever made a greatest space opera

Pretty cool   You'll have to try all those fantastic mods.

Did you know of www.moddb.com ? Great site

If you search for Freelancer, then go in mod section, you'll find all you need, there's a lot of mods out there, either total conversion or just as you search expending the universe. Crossfire is the only one I pretty much liked and they retouched the graphics which is really nice [e digicons]:')[/e]

But they both TC, aren't they?

I think Crossfire and the Starwars mod are the only mods which ever really got my attention and also the only mods I really ever tested. I think FL universe is cool enough not to want any TC.

But I admit, Star Wars is a TC but nothing beats flying a Tie Interceptor or a X-Wing ! So, just for the pleasure of it ! lol

what does the rebalance mod do? does it fix the annoying way that all the factions have the same three ships, only slightly more powerful all round than the previous faction?

Don't think it does much to the enemy ships but it adds tons of player ships, adds recharging shields for the enemies, and a whole bunch of stuff I don't remember.  It was pretty impressive.
