Hey,

so I haven't played Freelancer in ages, mainly because I had never heard about Discovery until quite recently, so I thought I'd give it a go. So, whats the best way to get involved with the Bretonian Armed Forces?
Welcome to Discovery!
Good to see some new comer who's interested in anything other than Liberty Navy:laugh:I hope you're more interested in Fighters than Capital Ships (Which, over time, you'll realize are rather useless) Best way to start is making a new Character, logging on and typing /restart liberty , which will put you on Planet Erie in a brand new CSV (Check Wiki for more info on /restart or any other Server Command), then you can trade the CSV to a Rhino from Ship dealer (Don't forget to transfer and mount the ID when buying the Ship) And start mining Helium in the Cloud behind Erie and selling it on the Planet. After you have enough money put together, you can move on and buy a better Trade Ship. Later, when you have enough cash to make a fully equipped Fighter, best way to start an Armed Forces char is to make a new Char, type /restart bretonia , and do enough BAF Missions to go full green with them so you can buy the ID and Ship... And then, Enjoy the action:P

Welcome to Discovery!

As a new member you will from time to time find yourself needing help, if this is the case look out for any [The_Angels] tagged ships, they will be very gracious to help you out!

The Angels are, as quoted from the Wiki:

[Image: angellogoredux.jpg]

"We are a group of players united under a common desire to provide information, guidance and advice to our fellow community members regardless of experience level with aims towards contributing to an equally educated and aware playerbase.
After all, it is troublesome to have fun when are low on credits, confused, and swimming in a sea of unhelpful, out of role-play chatter.
Our members may be contacted for assistance on the forums or within the game environment at any time. We assist in new player's first steps and basic combat training, to providing information on the background history and player presence of the differing factions of Sirius. While our philosophy is one of teaching to fish as opposed to simply providing a leg up, we will go the extra mile to provide direct assistance when the situation dictates we must."

Weekly Goals
  • Assist five new players.
  • Help one player join a faction.
  • Describe or accompany one player on a trade run.
If you would like anymore information on the Angels, please visit our Wiki page, here.

Please remember that at certain times that we are flooded with PMs asking us questions, if you do not get a reply straight away, we will get back to you!

Another thing to remember is to READ the rules, it may be boring to do so but it is important to keep server gameplay as good as it is. Plus if you read them you hopefully won't break them, saving our glorious Admins time and effort!

Rules can be found here.

Good luck and remember HAVE FUN! (Fun on this server is compulsory, anyone found not having fun will be tickled with a single feather till death)
Welcome!

So the BAF, eh? EH!? Yeah, you're looking for this. Alternatively, you could make an independent character (that is, a character who is part of the BAF non-player character (NPC) faction, but not part of the player faction that represents that NPC faction), but as a newbie, I'd advise against it.

Also, make sure you read The Rules, talk to the Angels about their new publicity push, and RP.

Also, mind the cat. Which still isn't as fun as the cannibalistic diplomats we used to have, mind you.

Dangit denelo, you stole my line!
Also mind the cat.
Hello there, you came at the right time, because we are recruiting now. :)We have a Military Academy where we aim to teach new players, so its just for you. Just send me your Skype name via private message. And if you feel like it, you can post in this thread: http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=77128 (Ah, Denelo already posted the link...) See you in space!
good luck with your journey within this community.
