Hi to all you flying maniacs.

It's been a while since I have played FL (nearly a year I think) and when I did play its was only for a couple of months (probably not even that, but was great fun) so after all of the busy busy things I was doing (relaxing really, but who's judging?) I wanted to come back. I have always loved FL and when I heard about Discovery and started to play on it's servers, it was the next best thing to FL2, if not better. The first time I played Discovery, I wasn't iRP, and just running around Sirius like a headless chicken running from a KFC.
So, knowing how dynamic Discovery is and that the 4.86 is being released bit by bit with more freelancer-drooling content, I came back.

First time I started I was a nooby, but when I left I was a pro...wait what?, oh yeah, I was still a damn noob. By noob I mean the only helpful thing I did was being an escort for the IMG, which I liked. As you can tell by my poor excuse of a signature. Assuming Jack Hendersen is still 'da boss' of IMG Ill get in contact with him to see if I can get my ol' job back.

Which brings me to the questions part of this bible-long post. First is, would I be able to get my char back?:nono: I doubt it but there's no harm in asking. Second is, tips on starting from scratch? I'm probably going to start with IMG again, either mine, transport or escort (<< easiest) since I like IMG the best.
And third of all which isn't really important (in fact, neither was the first one but never mind) which is, has the community changed since a year ago?, because I remember Discovery having a great community, helpful, interesting, and on rare occasions, outlandishly weird...but funny. :crazy:

Oh and I do have 1 minor problem, and that is when I start FL, the screen resolution is 1024x700 (max), and since my resolution is 1366x768 (using my laptop) it's square and looks stupid, so anyone know a solution to this not-so-problematic-but-annoying issue?

Anyways, you guys can stop reading and breathe now so ill get started on playing Discovery. Any help, tips, and/or insults for the long boring post :rtfm:, is welcome so thank you and bye, adios, lebewohl, live long and prosper, and so on.

Well hello there,

to answer your questions:

First and 2nd: Yes, if your departure was not too long ago and if you remember the names there is a chance that you get your stuff back.
Contact me if you have to start all over and I can give you some starting $$$
I recommend using the /restart Miner command and get started mining some ore in O-7. Cba to give you more information if necessary.

Third: Yes they changed a lot of ingame things on the update, too much to include them here. Get Fl companion and check the ships new stats. Some wiki pages are already updated.


Enjoy your stay!!!

Cheers for the reply and info.

Ah yes, I knew I forgot something, the FLCompanion.
Don't want to feel like a begger, but thanks for the offer of the $$. About my character, do I just open another topic or PM one of the admins? if the answer is new topic, where?
On the Omega-7 note, don't you need to be with either IMG, Kruger or Daumann to start mining there?

Thanks again.
About the 1024x700 problem, it seems to be, after reading through the forums a bit, that I can fix this with Hudshift?
Can anyone confirm this before I start crashing the server.:unsure:

EDIT: 1 word, Crossfire, yes or no?
Regarding your lost ships: just open a new thread - if you don't get a reply within a few weeks, write a short pm to cannon or the other 'mins.

To your miner carrer:

1. start as a completely independent miner with the generic miner ID. The downside then is that you don't get all the mining bonusses.

2. After you decided which faction you like most, purchase one of their IDs and start mining one particular type of ore with full mining boni (check the mining guide for more specific information about boni)

3. To become official member of the player factions, write an application inrp in their recruit channels.

Ok, thanks :)
regarding your previous ships:

If it has been longer than 6 months the ships with have been auto-wiped. The easiest way to check is if you have your original account. What I mean by that is, log in and see if they are still there.

But if it has been closer to a year since you have played, your ships are no longer in existance.

I wont be able to log on to my old account because I don't have it, since my laptop is new (4 months old) all the data I had from my previous FL game has been thrown into the binary void (deleted).
Welcome back, have fun, enjoy your stay - again.
