Gallia Factions Announced

Gallia Factions Announced
|
Posted By: Igiss @ Nov 3 2008, 10:36 AM
|
An official thread describing Gallia factions their diplomacy status was posted on our main forums today. Descriptions posted are the final ones that you will see in the game, written by myself (Igiss), proofread by Xoria.
Thread is open for comments and speculations, and you are welcome to post feedback of various sorts.
QUOTE The Council
ALLIES: The Maquis ENEMIES: Gallic Royal Navy, Gallic Royal Police
The Council is a powerful Gallic group that secures the political heritage of Mouvement de Liberation Gaulois (Gallic Liberation Movement), disbanded by King Louis IV in 720 A.S. Initially a secret society inside the Movement, Council absorbed many of the former Liberalists after 720 A.S., acting almost openly and growing in numbers and strength exponentially both on populated planets and in space. Considering the intentional isolation from the rest of the Sirius colonies a grave mistake that greatly harms the wellbeing of the whole nation, the Council has been fighting a war since 784 A.S. to break through the isolation and prevent the inter-house war planned by the Gallic royal dynasty and the Gallic Navy. Comprised of former Navy and Police officers as well as civilians, the Council cares about its reputation in the public eye, never attacking civilian convoys, passenger liners or trading ships unless provoked. Although its members are considered outlaws by Gallic officials, many civilians secretly sympathize with their goals, or even support them, financially or otherwise. |

DiscoveryFL.com and Discovery Wiki change hosting

DiscoveryFL.com and Discovery Wiki change hosting
|
Posted By: Igiss @ Sep 27 2008, 07:26 PM

Today, DiscoveryFL.com website and Discovery Wiki moved to another hosting provider, along with certain resources previously associated with DiscoveryGC.com domain. Those resources are mainly files provided for download, including previous version of the mod itself. Most links were already changed, but if you experience trouble in downloading certain files previously hosted on discoverygc.com/files, you may try changing address to discoveryfl.com/files.
New host will allow more freedom in hosting files, exchanging development resources, and further expanding our presence in world wide web. In future we may create a repository containing all or most of the previous Discovery mod versions, which was impossible on the previous host. Now the change is complete, and you are welcome to continue using our website and wiki. Stay with Discovery! |

Discovery 4.85 System Map

Discovery 4.85 System Map

A long time has passed since the last official update about Discovery 4.85: Reunion. Today we present you one of the latest results of our work: the complete system map of Discovery 4.85. This map is not subject to change until the final mod release; future changes will mostly be cosmetic. Central part of the map can be seen below.
This map for version 4.84 was first created by XEALUS for one of the Discovery-based Freelancer servers. Edits for version 4.85 by Igiss, used with permission.
You can see the whole map by following this link: http://discoverygc.com/files/discoverymap.jpg or clicking the image itself. Post your feedback in this forum thread. |

Réunion: New House Q&A

Réunion: New House Q&A
|
Posted By: Igiss @ Jun 24 2008, 07:42 AM

Reunion: New House Q&A is now available from Discovery forums! The article contains extensive information on the new House that will be available in Discovery 4.85: Reunion.
QUOTE Q: Will there be a new House in Discovery 4.85? A: Yes. A French house, like many of you already guessed. Q: What name will the new House bear? Will it be unlawful, similar to what Outcasts and Corsairs are, or more like lawful Houses? A: The name will be "Gallia", latin name for Gaul/France. Adjective is "Gallic", people who inhabit Gallia refer to themselves as "French" or "Gauls". Structure of the new House will resemble lawful Houses. It will have its own Police and Military, corporations, and unlawful factions. Q: Why France and not any other country/countries? A: Many reasons. France has interesting historical and geographical background. Also, it's one of the most powerful European nations that were part of the Alliance. UK, Germany and Spain all had their own sleeper ships, with a large portion of Italians obviously present on the Spanish sleeper ship. So, France was the next logical choice. Q: How many of the new House systems will be accessible in 4.85? What are the names of those systems? A: 5 systems will be ready for 4.85. Those systems form the Gallic Border Worlds, although more densely populated than the original Tau, Sigma and Omega systems. Names of systems will be: Languedoc, Dauphine, Burgundy, Champagne, Lorraine. Core systems of the new House will not be included into this release. Jump holes that connect Gallia to known systems are located in Languedoc and Lorraine. Read the full version... |

3 Year Anniversary

3 Year Anniversary
|
Posted By: Igiss @ Jun 14 2008, 06:41 PM

Today, on June 14 2008, Discovery is celebrating its 3rd birthday. Three years is not a very long time compared to human life, but quite a lot for an independent gaming project that started out from (almost) nowhere. A forum with only a few members, and plans to create a Freelancer server with a small mod for it.
Since then, we've come a long way. Server has grown to become the largest Freelancer server available online. Board changed hosting, server changed ownership, new people came, while old ones left. We've exceeded the 128 player limit, and reached the record 197 players simultaneously online. The mod received a genre award at ModDB.com Mod of the Year-2006 contest, was downloaded hundreds thousands of times from various sites, and was even stolen by a rogue server and re-released under another name. Everyone within the community can tell many more interesting stories on what was going on... and I'll just reveal some celebration plans for this month.
First of all, you are welcome to participate in Discovery Screenshot Contest. Sure, there will be prizes - but it's not only about prizes! The best screenshots can be used to promote Discovery on various websites, including ModDB, and you can help to showcase the mod from the best point of view. Second, you all know about the recent Discovery 4.85: Reunion announcement. Very soon, I'll post Q&A article revealing much more details on what we are planning to do. And answer more questions that you may ask yourself.
Good flying, and stay with Discovery! |
