Freelancer Alpha 1 - 1 you are cleared for launch, good luck out there

Space games are starting to be trending (Starfield, Beyond Good and Evil 2, Dual: Universe, Elite Dangerous) so there could be a possibility of a sequel hopefully at E3

>With Microsoft bringing back old games to steam
I'm pretty sure that freelancer is freeware for a while now

Same model and guns are in discovery

The Valkyrie is the sexiest.

Right, but it's Yea Forumslancer.

which faction had the hottest girls and why were they the outcasts?

then again every female and male character model had the same body types, barring tobias/tekagi

Is this game worth getting into if I like Elite Dangerous? Should I play 1 or 2?

I don't think there's any chance of this game ever getting a sequel and honestly I don't mind. It would just get butchered anyway.

That I can agree with.

It's not like Elite Dangerous, it's actually good.

Yeah I know nigga my point still stands
Discovery is the only mod thats still alive

For me it's X3

Its better so yeah
>1 or 2
There's only 1 but there is Starlancer but its not like Elite at all its a mission based dogfighting sim

Well that's not saying much, is it?

That's because they weren't ever trying to be.

Exactly. Space in Freelancer wasn't realistic, but damn if it wasn't interesting to navigate and play in. I still enjoy traveling it, even if I've played the game a dozen times.

Will you ever add a more dynamic camera?

Freelancer just had some really weird skyboxes. The whole game was built on a 2d plane and the artists often didn't do a completely spherical background. If you look directly up or down you often just see a void or some weird tube effect.

You mean that new camera stuff with Why485's latest Freelancer template release thing?
I've considered looking into it. The problem is that that flight template is a lot less complicated than Underspace currently is, and while I might play around with it there's the risk of it breaking all the current camera systems, when my focus right now is getting the demo out.

Attached: UnderspaceSparkplatformNA.webm (1600x900, 2.85M)

It was meant to be inside a distant wormhole you could see at one point.

Its intentional though you dont accidentally make that skybox lol
In my head the lore was that surface at the end of the tube was the dyson sphere and the tube its self was like some exhaust cone

>You mean that new camera stuff with Why485's latest Freelancer template release thing?
Yeah, for example. It improves game feel by a lot imo.
You should definitely consider it after the demo.

Is that a fuckin fireworks station

Provided it doesn't turn every bit of everything into non-working mush, sure. Heck if it does work, having the ability to switch between different camera systems in the options would be simple enough.

>recently tried playing Freelancer with a controller's gyro
>plays fucking amazing, like the game was made for it
Highly recommended. Feels like you're actually steering the ship.

So I assume Discovery ripped off your assets then? Or the other way around

Yeah. There's four-ish (five if you count the center of the galaxy) regions of space that are sort of like Freelancer's four houses. Each has a hidden boss that's related to that region, then there's tons of hidden bosses scattered in just various systems. This one is a pyrotechnics platform that turned evil, it's pretty basic but fairly fun.

I like hidden bosses.

Attached: Underspace A Screenshot of Photomode.png (1614x907, 1.17M)

It was designed to be played with a mouse and keyboard because it released long after joysticks were a common peripheral. It actually got criticism for this at release despite obviously being a good idea.

Is it going to be full of memes or does it also have serious tones
Also
there isnt a story is there?

Even though it's so ancient it belongs in /vr/, I still hold Tie Fighter as the de-facto standard for what a good space combat game should be like. It might be my nostalgia goggles but no other game since has gotten it quite right. They either put too much emphasis on the trading & economy aspect, screw up the scaling, or have a severe lack of mission variety to keep the game fun.

Attached: TIE-Fighter-Screenshot.gif (640x480, 38K)

>It was designed to be played with a mouse and keyboard
I know. It works extremely well with gyro as well though. And it feels a bit better imo because you're turning a controller to turn the ship instead of just moving a mouse across a flat surface.

It's a bit of nostalgia goggles, but that doesn't mean it isn't still a great game to play.

There's goofyish bits, but not really memes. Focus is more on the strangeness and vague horror of the setting more than anything else.
Also there's a main campaign, a multiplayer campaign, sidequests, and then things I call vignettes (which are points of interest that have some minor gameplay element going on), though a rare few can get pretty complicated and turn into full space-dungeon-raids.

Attached: UnderspacePromo3.png (1612x904, 1.05M)

I suspect they don't remember that it even exists, tbqh, which is a shame. It's such a good game.

Thank god - memes age worse than just about anything, and building a game around them is just a bad idea.

Damn

Is it worth playing single player at all? I love the idea of new content, but I'm worried I'd have to grind it to do anything interesting.

>unavailable in vanilla
still mad

On a scale of 1 to many; how many space trains are there?

Freelancer had the best space skyboxes ever
I remember when I was young and I first played the demo I tried flying out to a star on the skybox for hours because retard 12 year old me thought the full game was out there and only the jumpgates were locked for the demo
Good times
I played that demo so much I know every little nook of New York

So is Starblazer, the Blood Dragons' recolored fighter and CSV. Just... why?

Berliner Server

take me back

What do you mean? Discovery doesnt have a SP
If you mean the vanilla game then fuck yes the story is awesome

So many. There's the normal ambient ones, ghost trains, even a quest where you rob one, old west style. That's what that promo art is from.

Attached: UnderspaceTrain.png (1766x991, 1.27M)

... yes, it does have single player? You just start and play on your own server alone?

blog time

When I first started gaming I downloaded a demo for this game flew around space endlessly. I never really got anywhere with the game and never owned the full version (except for a short time I had pirated it) but just the freedom to fly around space the fact that things were somewhat realistically distant just blew my teenage little mind. I still have comfy feelings when I think of this game

>somewhat realistically
Space in the game is, like, at most, 400km across.

that was a short fucking blog post 0/10

Why did you have to post this

Attached: .jpg (1000x562, 41K)

Oh thats what you mean. Its basically just offline mp though. You can, if you just want to skip the credit grind and avoid roleplaying spergs trying to pirate your shit all the time. The new content is really cool. Defintiley check out the nomad worlds and Omicron Major (with the dyson sphere), it looks amazing.

Really?

Is that how far out the edges of the map were? All the content was within a 15-20km circle, probably even less.

Gameplay > Realism
Having full scale space just isnt fun

Yes. There is nothing realistic about Freelancer in any capacity. That's why it's good.

Some of the "missions" are literally

The axes are wrong and it triggers me.

The best thing about Freelancer skyboxes is that they put all the prominent nebulas in roughly the correct locations.

Yeah, you can see all of the 4 major nebulae in the Liberty space.

The guy who did that said "he wanted it to feel like an old spanish explorer who had to travel for months to reach a place"

Yeah, and if you go to Texas the Walker Cloud gets closer while the Crow Nebula is far away. Opposite in Colorado. It's neat.

Crossfire is fucking garbage in general.

In the Sol system the fuckin trade lane between the planets bugged out and I was stuck literally hours away from anything because the scale is that huge
Super gay

That's absolutely retarded. The guy missed the whole point of what made the FL's exploration so great.

god I hope they bring back the voice in Squadron 42

I mean Sol required you to fly 400k just to reach the coalation systems. It was dumb in general. The whole mod was a mess.

it's hardly roleplay

Same, I stupidly backed it because Roberts said it would be the Freelancer 2 that never happened, he fucking lied.

Yeah, I don't mind the roleplaying but I really don't want to be part of a persistent online community anymore. Ain't got time for that. Thanks for the reply.

it is technically Freelancer 2, in the sense that it's the game he wanted Freelancer to be but it wasn't because as it turns out, what he wanted Freelancer to be was both ridiculous and ultimately not very fun.

>ever giving anyone your money based solely on a promise
Why do people still do this?

Where can I safely download this game?

You'd be a fool to have expected anything like Freelancer from Star Citizen. The only reason Freelancer is the game we know and love is that Microsoft stepped in and fixed Roberts' mess.

They hate only foreigners. They unironically hate them because they caused their jobs to disappear.

why ARE* not do hurr

great game in that it was very easy to pick up and enjoy, and hitting stuff with missiles was the most satisfying damn thing

too bad its so repetitive though. really made me want to try x3 but it seems significantly harder to get into, though more rewarding in the end

fair enough I guess.

Transfer station for the ships that come buy to collect the power cores they charge.

Would look cooler without it I think
Just have a dock in the middle of the fan or something

I never found it repetitive
Just wish it wasnt unfinished, there needed to be more content
The story was clearly originally planned to be bigger but they cut heaps out

There used to be sidequests, party members, a blackhole. Tons of stuff got cut to actually get it out.

I'm just glad that we actually got the game. Its development process was a complete disaster until MS actually forced them to actually make a playable product.

Was it possible to load into another system by going to the edges of the map?

No. You can travel between systems only by using Jump Gates or Jump holes.

No, systems are separated instances.

I remember reading the PC gamer review for this game and wanting to check it out when it first released but my PC was too shit at the time. I never got around to it, but this thread has rekindled my interest. So since this game is not on steam or anything what's the best way to play it then?

The Omega systems are very close second. The Omicron systems have better music and I prefer the sickly green glow of the Edge Nebula.

I absolutely loved the Bounty Hunters' ships designs. Tall and slim instead of short and wide.

I managed to complete the game using Starflier, though, so it's definitely possible.

How the heck did you manage to survive the Rhineland fleet mission

The ship itself is very good stat wise, you just can't obtain it. Though, it does have a problem with agility.

Attached: ku_dragon.png (812x283, 26K)

Bog standard Dragons are still terrible. Barracuda is marginally better, and has less retarded placement for its burners

The biggest problem of the Kusari ships is that they're tiny so any missile hit will damage all the subassemblies likely oneshotting you.

Starflier is very agile. You don't even need to fight just fly up for like 2-3km and let the others do the job for you.

>cant get the hudshift mod working with widescreen it just makes the game crash
Anyone got an easy way to the the vanilla game working properly in 1080p

everspace.gamepedia.com/Hero

This game is fantastic by the way. The movement controls like Descent which actually works surprisingly well for space shootan. You can also go REALLY fast on almost any axis.

I don't think it's a problem for Drake, which is a very good ship even in high end PVP and PVE.

Yeah, placing thrusters on your rear wing is dumb. It usually catches all the rockets. Not to mention that missiles do bonus damage for every subsection they hit.

Install adoxa's unofficial patch.Google JFLP.

Everspace is good but its too simple
I wish there was a non-dungeon mode without time limits or permadeath

I did, it makes the game crash

Also, just in case you have problems with framerate, install DX8 to DX9 converter. You can get it on the official ENB site.

Well, there's an artifact for no time limits and technically you can savescum really really easily with "save and quit" starting you at the beginning of the area, but yes. I wanted to get into space sims more after playing it but I've been spoiled by the movement and pace (not to mention field of view slider that caps at 110) and I can't even play Freelancer because it's too clunky.

I've failed you all, goodbye. TRAINWIZ SAVE ME

Can you play the game at all without the HUD shift? If it crashes on start up, try deleting or renaming your Freelancer folder in your documents.

Trainwi'z game is literally a freelancer clone and you want it to have different controls?

Absolutely zero. You won't see ANY game like Freelancer till devs downsize and magically get a passionate team together to make a video game they want to play rather than a politcal skinner box gamble box dollar printer.

I'm more talking about the flight model. You can't seem to strafe quickly to dodge shots. It's probably too much to expect a hardcore space sim to let you slide around at space sanic speed but now that I've experienced how much fun it makes the gameplay I desire more.
Also, with the widescreen fix applied I can only override the FOV for the cockpit view which I don't like so much because it gives me a lot less situational awareness of the size of my ship and where shots are coming from. Trust me I've tried freakin everything, but it just doesn't pick up the value I put in the config file for ChaseCam fovx and I swear I'm using the exclamation point like the changelog says to and everything. Honestly if I could fix that one thing I would probably keep playing though.

Oh. In that case maybe I misjudged and it's just the starting ships that are slow shitters. Now, if only I could fix this other bullshit...

Tons.

The suns in the Unknown systems do no damage to you. Wrecks in Omicron Beta respawn. You can explore Alaska and Omicron Minor by using Alt-F4 after you landed on Mitchell/Toledo and then loading the newly made autosave. Factions with whom you're friendly may assist you against enemies which hate you (like, you can have Samura attack Ageira if Ageira hates you and Samura likes you). Artifact guns always do 100% damage to all shields.

So, any must have mods I should get?

>The suns in the Unknown systems do no damage to you
Same with the sun high up in one of the Tau systems.

Discovery has the most work put into it out of any mod and its pretty impressive, but the mp is roleplay only so be forewarned, there are some hyper autists in that community
You can play it offline but there is no story and the generic missions are broken

Just Adoxa's unofficial patch which makes the game run in 1080p.

This, that's about it. Pretty much every other mod is an overhaul mod.

if you've played the game you've seen it from afar in some systems and the green shit on the universe map. when you make it there you just KNOW you in the place that you've been looking at from afar all that time

Oh, if you want to add trails to your engine, you need to open the engine_equip. You can use bini, FLModStudio or FLIniEditor. Then, find your engine, there you will find these two lines
trail_effect = gf_li_smallengine01_trail
trail_effect_player = gf_li_smallengine01_playtrail
The first line sets the effect for NPC ships, and the second sets the effect for the player.
So if you want to to add trails to your engine, you need to change the second effect from gf_li_smallengine01_playtrail to gf_li_smallengine01_trail.

Also, check out the-starport. There are tutorials for pretty much everything.

What system is this? Looks like the main menu star

alright, thx mate. I am running his patch which makes everything look pretty nice even on a 24inch monitor.

thanks mate! freelancer fans are really the kindest posters on Yea Forums, appreciate it!

Nomad weapons are lame
Codenames is where its at
I miss my DIAMONDBACK and WILDFIRE combo

It's my modded system. I use it as a test ground for my experimenting. That ringed star doesn't actually exist anywhere in the game world, I just turned it into an actual object.

exactly right mate, hence why I said 'if that's your style'
I complelely agree that they're lame.

was just wondering if there were some hidden dev systems that they used for the menus

Rhineland weapons look the sickest
Stealthblade is such a cool weapon

The editors of Computer Gaming World nominated Freelancer for their 2003 "Shooter of the Year" award, which ultimately went to Call of Duty. They wrote, "Freelancer dazzled us with its immersive interstellar world, wild combat, and ambitiously open-ended design, but it can't compete with the cinematic spectacle of Europe at war."[61]

yes even the name Stealthblade is fucken sick

based. Did you happen to play on /HA/ aka Hunters Alliance? was the best RP server I played on before we were all forced on Disc

Yeah

I used to play on HHC. Good times. Still remember that time when another server decided to invade it. The server was full for hours, lol.

really makes me pissed that games went in the match making direction or hosting their own server for shit in the long run. yeah it gives them more control but that was control taken away from the community and we've seen lots of games have dedicated communities who can do shit right, freelancer was one of them. they turned vanilla freelancer into wine (of 2003)

Yeah, it fucking sucks. They just want you to buy one game after the other.

But will SODA make a reappearance

I'm actually excited to play this again now
Going to try to get a Dagger early on by getting friendly with the rogues

Whats the best single player mod that doesnt break the story? I remember waaaay back the OG discovery mod didn't fuck with the story but then they moved some jumpgates around for no reason and it broke it

Itano Circus?
Shattered Worlds maybe?

Yea Forumslancer, unironically. It doesn't break the story at all, iirc. It does break lore, though.

Cool thanks I'll check them out
Are they lore friendly or do they add stupid shit like star wars ships

Yeah I've played Yea Forumslancer, I'd prefer to play something closer to vanilla
Need to replay Yea Forumslancer soon though

Itano is just a gameplay changer, Shattered Worlds is mostly its own thing.

People used to report that around mission 6 or so something tends to break, for reasons unknown.

I liked this way more than elite dangerous, i dont know if it's because i was a teenager when this was released but I liked freelancer a lot.

Adoxa's console plugin is really nice too. It can do pretty much anything. Give you money, noclip, change rep, change cruise speed, teleport, and most importantly it allows you to own multiple ships. As long as you can restrain yourself from cheating your way through, it's very neat.

I can't recall any bugs in that mission but then again, it's been years since I last played it.

crossfire is such a smelly dookie culsterfuck of assets torn from other games and mods

Yeah, which is why he needs some guy to put his foot down and force him to make something reasonable and shoot his crazy ideas down. Almost like a publisher

He wouldn't get those millions if he wasn't promising the moon, sadly.

you need a widescreen patch, but otherwise you really don't need mods.

Something entirely possible in Elite Dangerous if not as glamorous. Or exciting.

>How do I not fuck up?
Don't look up the guides. Take it at your own pace. The exploration and that joy of finding something off the beaten path are the best parts of this game.

No shit. I get enough excitement fighting the pirate FDLs and condas

In all fairness, Chris DID hold a vote on whether they should finish the game or keep selling ships, and all the retards voted for them to keep going. That was back around 24 million or something. I was one of the 5% who voted for them to stop and just finish the game. 80% voted for them to keep going. So in Chris' defense, he did the right thing and we can only blame ourselves.

If only people were smart enough to read up on him and/or Freelancer's development, maybe the vote could have turned out differently.
But then again, space games was a dying genre back then. Kinda seems like that it was SC's financial success alone that pushed other people to try and make more space games.

I tried downloading Itano Circus, but I can’t progress because on the second mission it says that a prison ship was destroyed and that I failed.

Honestly the roleplaying is the only reason I cant play Disco, the other problem being the horrid balance issues and Capital Ship meta.
I really wish it didnt have such strict RP rules because I really love the mod, they've put so much work into it, some of the systems look amazing (like Omicron Major and the other Nomad worlds).
Almost all of the ships are original assets and they look lore friendly (aside from some of the Outcast and Hessian ships that look a little too high poly).
One thing that does perplex me though is why they removed so much awesome shit like the Phantoms system and they redid the Outcasts system with the massive black hole.

Alright bros, it's happening, wish me luck. I've seen Freelancer threads on Yea Forums for years but I never made the jump, let's hope it was worth it.

It did show that there was still big money in the space genre, and considering that a big reason space games were popular in the past was because of how relatively cheap and simple they were to make it helps reduce the risk of making one.

I mean how many game genres can you make a level environment that is literally an empty void and have it be perfectly acceptable?

Good luck out there pilot

It's a classic for a reason.

Have fun, user.

Couldn't you DL it then host your own server to join? Sucks that it wouldn't be MP but surely it's better than nothing.

I still don't get how people manage to fuck up a formula so simple.

You can play offline but its pretty lame solo, since the whole mod is designed with multiplayer balance in mind
It would be nice to just play with people who are actual people and not roleplaying as some furfag captain of the dragondildo express

Scope creep, always.

See you, space cowboy

Even with multiplayer though it's super grindy. I remember on Yea Forumslancer players got money by just shipping tobacco back and forth between two stations in a system, and then modded their engines to go superfast.

Attached: freelnacer nebulaer.png (700x504, 181K)

Yeah, it would have been super fun to just engage in a mass battleship brawl without any RP faggotry involved. Not to mention death's timeouts.

Yeah the grind at the beginning is aids. Although some smart guys came up with a few exploits. One based individual built a station in the middle of the copper field in Kansas that buys copper for 3k credits per unit, so you just get a DSE license and mine copper for quick bucks. Can easily make 500k per run and it only takes about 2 mins each time. But still you need tens of millions if not more to get good ships, its ridiculous.

Then I absolutely have no idea. Your game wasn't modified before you installed the patch, was it? I can't think of a single reason why it may crash.

Nope, fresh install with nothing but the patch, didn't change anything.

You could try deleting/renaming your Freelancer folder in My Documents. If this doesn't help, then I have no idea.

Just tried fresh installing it again this time without any mods or patches and it still crashes. This is really weird, must be something to do with this abandonware version. I'll try it with the disc this time.

The abandonware version works perfectly for me.

Fuck you guys, now I'll have to play it again.

Tried manually installing the net framework and it works now
Cheers for the help user
Funny that Discovery works without the framework but the original needs it

Congrats.

Enjoy.

How long before the game picks up? Any early tips?

The game really picks up with the 4th story mission. Learn to utilize Kill Engine (Z and Tab by default). It's a very effective technique in combat as it allows you to spend almost the entirety of fight at very high speeds while also allowing you to be very agile. Just explore and do what you want in the meantime.

Do you have any more tips for someone that sucks at dogfighting?

Just grab a fuckton of heals and train on some weak random pirates in the debris.

Eagle you absolute plebs.

Imagine being so bad you need 7500 HP to not die.

Before the thread dies, is there any way to increase the draw distance in vanilla? I'm so used to playing modded

Outcast ships look progressively worse with class. Dagger looks amazing (and owns in combat too) but Sabre is ruined by all the goofy foil shit on the underside.
