Hello, I just recently started and finished the vanilla Freelancer campaign, because I heard it is the best in it's genre. For about 2 days I have been playing the Discovery mod on this server and I'm going to post my opinions about it so far.
I chose Rheinland because Liberty is too mainstream and not very interestin to me, Bretonia has fugly ships and Kusari I just don't like in general. Since I have no idea about Gallia, I didn't chose it either (and the ships were 'meh' again:P).
So all the time I have played with a friend of mine, and we decided to start off by trading, because we don't understand the mining even though I read all the guides and tutorials. Shortly after buying ourselves some better ships, a first player speaks to my friend: (quoting)
*my friend just getting out of trade lane*
The player: "Where you going?"
*my friend just barely managed to push 'Enter'*
*The player destroyes my friend with 2 torpedos*
So after a few hours, the first player we came accross shot one of us down for no RP reason, when we were under level 30, didn't attack first and had Civilian ID. Not a very good first impression.
But since then there have been no hostile situations, even when the NPCs battle at every station in Rheinland.
And for some reason we are 'friendly' to Red Hessians (not complaining:D)
I have been spoken to (by other players) about 3 times since I joined this server, but this is problably because I haven't left Rheinland yet.
So that is my time here so far.
One more thing that caught my eye, this being a RP server, I have to say, I haven't seen many RP names so far. In my opinion there should be a rule that says that you have to have a name like 'Frontname_Lastname' or maybe just 'Name' or something like a ship name, aka 'HMS Titanic'.
Some examples what names have caught my eye the most (no offence meant, just bringing them out): KungFu, Ghetto, xXbTWXx, That.Gun and many more .
Also a couple a questions:
When I did /restart Rheinland , have interspace commerence ID and a Rheinland ship, will I be able to go to Liberty without being shot down, or do I need a civilian ship (aka Stork)?
And what is a IFF? Where can I see what IFF I have? I have checked the relations tab, didn't see any yellow factions/groups there.
So that was my "Hello", opinion and my 2 cents. I hope I haven't acted like a jerk so far :rolleyes:
And yes, I have read the rules. (:
EDIT: Also, is there something against the lag I get when playing during the evening? Because it is practically impossible to play - each docking takes about 5 minutes and it disconnect every 2. Thanks in advance.
