Hi All, I'm a big fan of space sim games, particularly the X-Wing series, Elite & Freelancer. I am in the process of developing and Elite themed mod for Freelancer, this is in the early stages of development but a I have a beta version released in order to get some feedback from other gamers. If you'd like to have a look, you can get the mod from [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/freelancer-mostly-harmless[/url]

Hi StormprooterWelcome to the SSC! Yes I saw your mod on ModDB, looks great. I was really sad when Gibbon stopped developing his Awakening mod. Best of luck to you though with your mod! :girlcrazy:

Hi Geraldine, I was looking for an Elite mod for freelancer myself back last December, when Elite: Dangerous made the kickstarter funding level, I really wanted to play a more modern version of Elite (OOlite is good, but not enough action for my tastes) - but I couldn't find a freelancer mod done for the Elite universe (which I found strange) - so I decided to make my own. I found Gibbon/Griff's ship & station model pack, and this gave me a big boost in getting started, so I began in January this year.I am a software developer by trade, however modding Freelancer prooved to be quite a learning curve - so many details to take in, and a quite awkward set of data structures to work with for creating game content - but it's getting there.Development now continues to take this from a proof of concept into a game I will really enjoy playing myself - and hopefully others will enjoy as well.

I would suggest you drop by Gibbon's Gizmo forums. He could give you a lot of helpful advice, perhaps maybe you could even recycle parts of his shelved Elite mod if he is willing? His forums are to be found here.

Welcome to SSC, Stormprooter. Not enough action in Oolite? Hmm... oh well.

Welcome to SSC, Stormprooter. Not enough action in Oolite? Hmm... oh well.Don't get me wrong, I love Oolite - but I'm an action junkie who like to get into blasting away at plenty of enemies as soon as possible.

Heh, that's easily arranged in Oolite - become a contrabandista (my profession). All the action you need, in almost every system!

Welcome to the forums Stormprooter An Elite mod for Freelancer Excellent work Stormprooter if you want to upload a copy here on SSC or start a thread in the Freelancer forum [url]http://spacesimcentral.com/ssc/forum/14-freelancer/ [/url] you are most welcome too. (OOlite is good, but not enough action for my tastes) Would some one please pick Cody off the station floor. :biggrin:

Welcome to SSC Stormprooter, with you being an action junkie just don't start picking fights outside the station. Well I guess you could, I did have a new targeting system installed on all the flaks that need to be tested

Heh, that's easily arranged in Oolite - become a contrabandista (my profession). All the action you need, in almost every system! I guess I haven't added the right mods for it - only really played 'vanilla' OOlite, and the Navy Missions Mod(where you get a million thargoids to try to destroy). I have also played with creating my own mods for OOlite but never really had a good enough idea to take forward. I will re-visit it, and get the graphics updates and the like and see what I can conjoure up - when I get the time.

Would some one please pick Cody off the station floor. :biggrin: Thanks for the offer, I am having to decide on a 'Home' for the mod, as I am getting feedback and fix requests from lots of different places at the moment, and it's a bit of a nightmare keeping track of everything. I Initially chose facebook as it was easy and free, but I suspect it's not the best place as many gamers don't like facebook. I'll have a think.....

Welcome to SSC Stormprooter, with you being an action junkie just don't start picking fights outside the station. Well I guess you could, I did have a new targeting system installed on all the flaks that need to be tested :DHi Darkone, I'm not really one for starting fights, except in PVP battles, and then only in-game  Also, I must compliment whoever designed this site - it's really nice looking, easy to navigate and easy to use - not too common in gaming sites.

I guess I haven't added the right mods for it - only really played 'vanilla' OOlite... Apart from eye-candy, I only use a few mods that toughen/smarten the NPCs that vanilla Oolite spawns.My chosen profession means that everyone is after my blood - pirates, bounty-hunters, and the cops. But as you say, finding the time is the key. Me, I'm a monogamiac - all my game-time goes on Oolite.

I must compliment whoever designed this site - it's really nice looking, easy to navigate and easy to use - not too common in gaming sites. Agreed - it's one of the best sites of its type. Nothing but quality at SSC - kudos to D1 for that.

Welcome to the site Stormprooter, good luck with the mod, we need a decent Elite Mod for Freelancer to keep us goin till the new Elite is out

 Welcome to the site Stormprooter, good luck with the mod, we need a decent Elite Mod for Freelancer to keep us goin till the new Elite is out Cheers Neagoth, I've had a little break from development after releasing the beta, apart from a bit of 3D modelling, but I am planning to get back onto development in full swing this weekend. I've got a few bugs & niggles to work out of the current version, mostly surrounding game balancing the NPCs - I don't have enough variety, and the Thargoid Warships are not appearing as they should.

Well keep it up, i've not had chance to play it yet but will do soon after i get all this painting done otherwise i feel the wife's wrath lol
