Good man.
Blast a few hundred Xeeners for me too.
Filthy little buggers.

And if you're playing Disco, I'd suggest you ask about it on the Disco forums.

Right then, I'm playing in the Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7.
So far, I'm enjoying the mod. Good aditions without taking away that Freelancer-feel I was jonesing for. For some reason though, I can't seem to post in their forum.

Oh well, at least I can kill space pirates. And if that isn't a worthy consolation prize, something is wrong.

Hurrah for Reddits.

Right then, as a last message:

I'm playing in Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 with the name "Sye". Anyone wanna join up, just send me a message or chat with me.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

See you on the flipside.

This probably isn't the right place to post what I'm about to post, but I feel at home in this thread. All my stuff is here.

In the Discovery Mod, have the NPC ships' perfomance been tweaked? I'm having a real hard time completing regular missions.

I remember back in the day, I stocked my Eagle with bats and bots, got a level holycrapyouregonnadie mission and came back 5 minutes later with loot and credits.

As of right now, it's taking me an average of 30+ minutes to complete level 6 missions (I'm flying a Crusader with level 4 and 5 weapons, Skyrails I think). The ships are all twichy and spastic (not laggy. I remember laggy, this ain't it), changing directions really fast. Combat feels like swatting mosquitos with a baseball bat; as with the baseball-mosquito metaphor, they go down as soon as I hit them. I just can't seem to hit them.

So then: bugged, modified or am I just a crappy pilot?

Oh, and leave your shoes at the door, I just vacuumed the place.

And which would be the simplest? Bretonia quests take waaaaay to long (mosquito, baseball bat).

I already refused credits some player was giving me because I wanted I wanted to progress on my own pace. Am I going to regret it?

Also, if you think I'm milking the hell out of this thread, feel free to tell me to sod off, get bent, bit your shiny metal ass or anything along the lines.

Yes, it is much nicer in New York but I think I found out why I was having problems. Or at least, what I was having problems with.

I believe it was Light Fighters. The twichy/spastic/fast ships were all light fighters. On my way to NY I fought a few Heavy Fighters and it quite fast.
