Happy to be back again.. - sindroms - 03-09-2012
After the first two posts being in the sanctions section, I wanted the third to be here. I have still no idea how to repay the admin team for even considering pardoning my fiasco, but now there is a new dilemma....
Half a year is kinda a lot, what has happened during my away time? What is going on with the mod, factions and you all in general? What has happened to the LR, to the RM and Zoners? What about the mod, holy...I haven't even gotten to play 86 yet...
I have had so many ideas during my away time, so many things to share and such, but just how much Disco has changed? I see Hoodlum is around again and Del is back snarking at our dress sense. A few more old faces here and there, but there are a lot I do not see anymore.
I heard about Mal and Bear already, sadly..
But still, what new things are around now? Mining, trading and pirating and such? Any new individuals to fear out in space or any new trends going on?
Cheers.

Welcome Again. You know the rules better than me:)

Hey man. Glad you're back.
Anyway, the changes aren't that big I'd say. Rogues are pretty much Rogues still. Not sure about RM, don't see a lot of them.
Zoners seem to have another Omega Conflict going on, but I ain't following that anyway.
I'd say just install the mod and get started again. The final version of .86 is still in development, so major changes aren't really given.
Oh, Werewolf got a buff. It's kinda' killing anything. I mean it.

The CR and Coalition IDs are going open use (Or a secondary ID for the latter), and the =CR= and Phooms were disbanded.
86 as a mod isn't really too exciting.
Bison is <3
Shukensha is <3
Everything else is not worth the wait.

Zoners: Omicroners disbanded. TAZ kinda became less active after Mal passed away OORPly. OSI's still going.
RM: Still oppressing the <strike>people</strike> Hessians. Or trying to anyway. And occasionally blowing up or getting blown up by Liberty ships.
LR: Is taking excursions into Shikoku and New Tokyo as of late after a word of welcome by Admin Del.
As for 4.86, there's a nice changelog in the readme in the \Freelancer folder once you have it installed. Suggest you read and catch up a bit there. Bunch of new ships... turret steering might be something you as a funboat lover will want to get some experience with.

CR and Phantoms gone? What about the Keepers?
And what about the Hyena? Bombers? Rule updates?

Bombers got a few new toys to play with, Cutlass, the new BW bomber has balls. Hyena ? Dunno', don't think it's gotten changed.

' Wrote:CR and Phantoms gone? What about the Keepers?
And what about the Hyena? Bombers? Rule updates?
Keepers renamed themselves to K'Hara. Basically a "refresh" of the faction as they were dying out. There might be new leadership, not sure.
Rule updates: some were removed. Take a look at the rules page - for those who know the old rules, they're not hard to miss.
Oh, watch out for the tech chart. It's gone, replaced by a FLHook hard-coded tech compatibility system. Everyone's favourite white-cell tech combinations are now nerfed.;)
Bombers now have coloured faction SNACs, and Novas work. Nova swarm is the new bomber swarm, since SNAC range was lowered to match the range of Solaris turrets.
