G'day - JhC - 12-20-2021
Hi to all,
I'm a returning player that will, for once, not reactivate the old accounts.
This is come back number 4 for me. I don't even remember the year of first login here in discovery, 2005 I think. First play was before 2001 on LAN servers we used to run. I learn from past experiences : my golden time on freelancer was actually near the beginning, where cash was low thus the will was high to make some. Overabundance is a incentive killer I think. So no more dreadnought, CS fleet, codenames, official factions and all. Bye bye billions over billions.
I made my way back in Sirius last couple of days with a generic restart, no Nav map, no item prices, and 50K. And man that was the best : the struggle. I have to fly the few routes I remember, nearly by eyesight as i can plan routes because the navmap is empty. By the way, who knew Sake was not appreciated in Bretonia? Well, I do now.
Now I manage to buy the armored transport, and I feels big and powerful. Yeah it does. Imagine that : bored with a dread, all smiling and not counting hours now at the bottom with my AT.
All can be Roleplayed, and that is my motto. How to expect a new character to be born in Sirius and start all loaded up with best ship best guns and money to spare ? That can't be. Right now I ll have one ship and one char only, Pacificator MK.II (back story to be written). But this pilot is just freshman with the history in the front of him, free of the politics of old.
I would have a few questions tho : I used the FLCompanion before. Yesterday I installed it again, updated the prices but it seems totally off. Nothing is matching and the FLC does not seems to sync properly with the dynamic economy of the game. Any help there, is there a tuto I should read again for proper use of FLC ? For the moment that be all, this would allow me to raise a bit my profit per run, in a normal way.
It's all for now, I'm really glad to find this community still standing here, big Kudos to those who gave their time to make it so.
Safe flight and a blessing on your wings...

Nah, no need mate. Well at least not for now. Thing is, this time I've got more time, and it's good to struggle a bit at first. Makes you feel fresh, man

Hello!
I also have returned to DiscoveryGC and doing a very similar thing. Not in a hurry to get anywhere but playing to gain enough SC's to get a decent exploration ship. I started about 2008 and played for about three years and honestly cannot remember my old char let alone my password. Everything would have been wiped I suspect, so nothing to gain anyway. I am starting from scratch making my way in the 'verse.
Some really interesting developments.
Our paths may cross one day.
Adios.
RE: G'day - JhC - 12-21-2021
I hope our path will cross yes. What TZ are you ? Maybe we could do a couple of run together. I dont want to join any factions, but a group activity from time to time is cool. Hauler and figther escort is a classic. Right now I really need to solve my FLCompanion issue, I am flying totally blind.

For the FL Comp issue, it may not be targeting the Discovery exe. file. It often defaults to the Freelancer vanilla exe. file. https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=120419&pid=1577323#pid1577323
Also, this list may be advantageous. https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=150826&pid=2075712#pid2075712

Finally solved. An update on Win 10 changed the setting for seeing hidden files, and i was becoming mad not to find the path that the file property of DS launcher was showing me.
All solved, and thanks for this list.
