Discovery Freelancer has reached the Top-100 of the 2009 Mod of the Year contest run by ModDB. After a brief interruption in 2008, Discovery is back to ModDB's annual Top-100 where the mod was already present in 2006 and 2007. Great news, and huge thanks for everyone who cast their votes for Discovery and other Freelancer mods!
During the 2009's MOTY contest, there were 80,000 votes for more than 3,500 mods and indie games, so this Top-100 position is already an award of its own. Also, we are one of only four Freelancer mods that got into the Top-100. Now we should vote again and try to reach the highest awards of Mod of the Year contest.
To vote, you need to do the following: I.Register on ModDB.com (if you are not already registered) and log in.
Registration is easy. If you don't register, your vote won't be counted in most cases. If you log in after you vote, you may not be allowed to vote again, so make sure you are logged in before you vote!
I'm not sure how many mods you can vote for. In any case, you should know where to start! To vote, just press "VOTE" on the Top-100 page (NOT in the mod profile) next to the mod you prefer. When the image will change to "VOTED", your vote is cast.
ModDB's 2009 Mod of the Year Top-100 voting ends in less than 2 days. If you didn't vote yet, please register on ModDB.com, log in and vote for Discovery and other Freelancer mods of your liking!
Freelancer is now number 2 in the overall standing of games, second to Half-Life 2 only. Half-Life, Battlefield, C&C and all other games have lower number of votes for their mods. Very impressive result for Freelancer modding community.
ModDB featured Discovery 4.85 in its review for July 2009 that was posted among other monthly reviews in the end of 2009. You can watch the video on this page: http://www.moddb.com/mods/discovery-freela...-in-review-june
In the middle of it, the scene from Discovery Freelancer 4.85: Reunion trailer is shown, with Kusari capital ships firing at Glasgow Outpost. This is another reminder of the fact that 13CentKiller did great job with the trailer last year, and we will definitely need more trailers (and other videos) featuring Discovery.
The 4th Screenshot Contest is underway, and submissions will be accepted till mid January. We are getting dozens of great shots, many of them were already added to the Discovery image gallery on ModDB.
We also expand our teams of Discovery RP 24/7 server administrators and DiscoveryGC board moderators. You are welcome to browse this forum thread to see who the new admins and moderators are, and leave your comments!
