New Pilot Intro - FZ-YMK22 - 07-19-2024
Hey All,
Just randomly came across a video on Youtube last night showing off the 2024 freelancer HD update and the discover multiplayer...was completely blown away. Freelancer was my favorite game growing up, still have the CD for it but don't have a PC with a disc drive anymore lol so i've just kept it for sentimental value.
Anyways, i got the game installed and running on my W11 machine last night and was enjoying a short session of nostalgia bliss. Looking forward to going through the campaign a bit more and also jumping into the discover server.
See you all in the stars

Heya. Welcome to the community, first and foremost!
Hope you'll have a good time reliving memories in the campaign, once you're on the server you'll see that many things have changed and evolved.
Hope to see you out in space!

Welcome to Discovery.
Feel free to look over the house rules, server rules and get familiarized with the lore of the main game and read over the wiki and news articles to get yourself up to speed on what all's gone on in the past 34 years since vanilla inRP.
Enjoy your stay.

Hi All,
Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm a bit hooked on the HD campaign right now haha but plan to hop online soon to check things out. I imagine there are quite a few changes which will be exciting to see! If y'all got any good recommendations on where to get started i would welcome them.
Cheers

To start good, I suppose you can start trading. In the online version, you start with a Kestrel, a freighter in a system called Pennsylvania. You can go behind the planet and go start mining helium and sell it at as Sprague in Omega-3. Or you can also do missions, but be careful. According the difficulty, it might be hardcore.

First of all, welcome aboard!
Secondly, you might find it surprising to hear you really don't need much money to get what you need to do what you'd like! A fully kitted out fighter doesn't cost more than about 50k Credits, which is roughly only a couple of trips from the Helium field to Erie and back (about 20m of work in total); an entry-level transport like the good old Bumblebee costs 70k stock, and nets you a hefty 1.800 cargo space, plenty enough to do some solid trading if you're so inclined!
Missions can be a good way to rack up credits on the quick, but you have to be careful - most of those you'll find in bars and are of a high level (around 25 means fighters armed to the teeth; go higher than that and it's gunboats, then destroyers, then [...]) and you'll want friends to back you up, as a swarm of angry fighters can punch through yours with frightening speed.
On the other hand, missions asking you to take out a station - and only a station - are a very quick and easy payout, can do them in your starter Kestrel even, so enjoy!
