To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hailsa all,
I'm known to many as HunterKiller. I've been playing Freelancer for the past 7 years and love it. I've played at least 200 plus mods and have enjoyed any of them. I've joined man servers and am still active on them as I can find the time. There are many more that are no longer up due to RL and I miss some of them.
I had my own server up for over 2 1/2 years as well. It was fun while it lasted but due to a move and my ever-so- loving ISP, something is preventing it from being accessed by none other than myself? I'm also a Server Admin on a few servers. (names and ID withheld to protect my influence on them) I'm a member of many of the websites for Server Ops as well. Hopefully, we can keep the game of Freelancer alive for many more years to come even though, Microsoft & Digital Anvil don't think it's worth their time, it's certainly worth ours.
I'm not much of a mod creator and have never had one to become successful to date. I guess I just don't have that sort of talent but hope to be able to do something that will work soon. I know many in the field and I've been searching for the right tips to be able to make it happen. Patience and taking it bit by bit is the key but, I seem to be a bit hasty....no, let me correct that, I just rush into it rush into it like a Sidewinder Missile trying to hit it's new target. 😀
Anyways, I have played many other games and many of them I have enjoyed just as well but, not as much. I love the interaction with the players I've met from all walks of life by gaming online.
If we all could get along in RL as well as we do in-game,(settling our conflicts in a good PvP match 😈 ) I think we would all be better off. I've learned a lot over these past 7 years from History about other countries, computing, and languages, something I don't think I would have ever learned in all the years I spent in school. In game, I'm hearing from those who live it and not from a book as to the way they want you to learn it.
If the world were ever lose it's power source, lets all hope we have enough batteries to keep our laptops per se, active and gaming alive.
Have fun and enjoy.

Welcome HK
I have always loved FL and go back to it every few months to play a new mod or do some multi-player. I think MS is doing this great community a dis-service with just kicking us aside. I mean they have web browsers and they can see that the multiplayer servers are still up and people making bigger mods every year. make another or release to open source so the modders can really revamp the game.
There are some nice projects coming so check them out...

Thanks for the welcome -D1-
Freelancer is a great game and there's so many different versions of it that I think it will be around for a long time.
I only wish Digital Anval would have finished Freelancer 2 or at least let others have the codes to continue it.
