You cannot undock without an ID equipped. At least in Multiplayer. Are you sure you have enough cargo to tractor in whatever you're interested in?

Yes, I'm unable to tractor escape pods. I then changed ships now using a Falcon heavy fighter, went out and again the Loot symbol appears but pressing the traction (B) key nothing happens. I don't exactly wish to start from the very beginning and try again

I downloaded Discovery from the forum, started a new game and had a tractor beam, updating to a heavy fighter resulted i losing the tractor beam

Something else, going to multiplayer there's no listing of any servers

Did an experiment, I started a new game from the very beginning. Tractor beam works

Yes, if you open Freelancer normally, after installing Discovery, you will not find any server when you go to multiplayer. You need to go to t=where you installed Disco, and open "DSLauncher". And open the game that way. Then, when you go to Multiplayer, you'll see the Discovery server.



I have 2 Freelancer shortcuts on my desktop. Discovery Freelancer which shows items such as Accounts, Game Settings and Launch game which when launched it works EXCEPT it flatly refuse to save any game and Discovery Mod Freelancer which plays except the tractor beam doesn't play. This is unfortunately all I know if you look back at past entries you'll see I'm an absolute novice at understanding all of this and being unable to work it out I go to a computer shop and pay them to get it to work. --and they charge like a wounded bull.

When instructed to go t=where you installed Disco, and open "DSLauncher" I did, I was able to play but it does not save the game

Something new---an hour after posting I went back to play the game. This time I'm unable too because something, somewhere has changed causing all the Save/Load icons at the start of the game to appear way to large. The exit logo can hardly be seen

Are you interested in playing only Singleplayer or do you want to give Multiplayer a try also?

I much prefer Single Player but if I have no other choice I'll go to Multiplayer. Now as I said there's another problem somehow the Save/load icons are so big I'm unable to play the game

Incidentally the game says V 5.0

How do I get into Multiplayer mode, keeping in mind that when I enter Discovery GC the game when I load there nothing, will not save the play

Cannot help a bit more than this:
Afterwards, pick "New Char", name your character and that's how you play
