Now this is a tad odd, but I was trying to play the story mode today and I got as far as the section where the lib navy try to arrest you. However when you undock from manhatten and meet juni in space, with disco mod on you are being attacked by a cruiser that just blows you up as soon as you gain control of you ship after the cutscene. now i really want to play the SP with disco mod on cos it makes it way more challenging what with all the npc's using bots/bats and all.
Is there any way around this problem? cos there is no way of flying out of it, its literally just cutscene over - boooooommmmm!!!!!!
Yeah, but you have to be okay with a little cheating. My Documents>My Games>Freelancer>SinglePlayer>Perfoptions.ini
Set the difficulty number, usually 1 or 2.00, to 0.00. Youare now invulnerable.

No, it has no effect on multi. Multiplayer uses the server's perfoptions.ini

If you have one, keep moving the scroll wheel on your mouse up (that should increase the throttle) and hold down afterburner the minute the cutscene is done. You may be able to get away and you may not. It seems to work for me every other time, but my shield is usually gone. I think it really depends whether the next laser bolt can hit you when you get control of the ship. I think what's happening with you is that two laser bolts are hitting you when you get control. One takes out the shield and the other kills you. Sometimes, only one laser bolt may hit you when you get control (then only your shields are gone). If this happens, run away and use ur shield bats.

ahh sod it, I'll cheat my way out. It's to do with disco being on anyway so its not something you should have to deal with.
Yea like Klaw says, it is possible but it's very very tight. It's a case of hitting throttle/burners/f-key all at once before the cutscene even finishes! And hoping.
Other than that.... there's no shame in cheating. Disco is a MP mod to the core, totally unsuited to SP. That's the way it goes. Even people who claim they have played the SP right thru without cheating as such, have used "dodgy" methods like cruising around and letting Juni do all the fighting.
