Welcome m8 😉

Hey, it's the guy who created the Big Daddy Storyline mod for Freelancer... awesome job, FlyByU!

There are many Freelancer fans here... it is truly a classic space sim.

I loved your mod... had some very funny moments with your AI tricks. Your NPC's are the best I've seen anywhere. I have not played your Freelancer Advanced yet, but I look forward to it.

Hi there, welcome to the SSC! 🙂 And I can say I totally agree with Bullwinkle, great work you did there! 😎

Thank you all for your support. I am working on the next version as well. We are still trying to get it as good as possible, and to where it makes a lot of sense as to where items, ships, NPC’s are located as well as making it fun and making it a real good RPG as well. You can’t upgrade your Character but you can your ship so that’s where I am trying to take this mod. If you have not played Freelancer Advanced 0.77 Beta 3 try it out and give me your feed back here Tips; Feedback; and Suggestions for Freelancer Advanced

Welcome to SSC FlyByU.

FlyByU you mentioned give your mod more RPG elements. How do you plan to approach that aspect of adding a RPG element to the game and is this going to concentrate around the SP storyline or be outside of it so it can be used in the MP as well?

The main thing I want to have is the upgrading of equipment and weapons like you would in say Diablo as I said before your characters stats such as health, strength, intelligent, etc... cA not be improved on. However you do have better ships to go to, weapons, and now I am adding equipment to the list such as Power Plant upgrades, Scanners, Tractor Beams, Thrusters, Armor, Shield Generators which give the shield a Regeneration boost and anything that I can think of and yet make sure that the mod stays stable with players online. Any equipment on a ship I m trying to give several upgrades to so you are always looking for the better weapon, armor, equipment, etc... Like you would in a RPG I know Freelancer will never be a Diablo type game as it is more of a space shooter. However I feel it can be given those elements mentioned above to keep you entertained and always fighting, mining, trading for the better item. I hope this makes more sense and helps you see where I want to go with it.

0.77 Beta 3 and anything newer will be MP and Open Single Player only as I had to remove the storyline for SP to make it playable in singleplayer. So many things have changed and moved that the storyline will not work.

Nice. I guess a big tough part about that is getting the WOW factor. Meaning going to the merchant and looking at inventory and see a must buy equipment upgrade or ship/weapon. And if possible maybe some blackmarket dealers that are just out in space that if you communicate/dock with the right one your efforts will be rewarded in finding some really good gear.

I don't even want to imagine all of the files and equipment stats you have to parse through to create these nice upgrades to the equipment system.

This project is always adding or changing things so if anyone wants to get onboard just join the fun on the forums and server. The mod will get to a point where many will be happy as it is and we will stop adding or changing things. Right now we are still gathering ideas, changes, things needed to be added, etc... So download the mod and play it and then post some feedback on the forums.
