Enhance Discovery 4.87 with NEW Freelancer Mod FX, MORE FUN LESS MINECRAFT!!! - Black Widow - 06-07-2013
I have noticed while Discovery is now the number 1 mod for Freelancer and it is the only one I have played since 2k8 when Vanilla FL went down, but I was always been captivated by the work of other Mods and by far the work of Shattered Worlds is breathtaking!!
Watching the FX and Gameplay employed in this version of their mod Shattered Worlds :: War-Torn 1.3
I could not help but be amazed by the dev work in terms of performance but most notably the Special FX something I think Disco could do with employing, pay attention to the Jumpgate FX, Projectiles, Space Detail and other things.
Also in a way Disco is a Mod full of WAR just like Wartorn was but has lost its flavour with the arrival of Player Owned Bases and everyone just concentrating on making them now nobody makes time for what is important anymore RP and Fighting!!
Maybe bring back some of that lost fun to Disco that can only be found through player to player interaction, combat and conflict. Lets concentrate more on ENHANCING the player experience which is what freelancer is all about and less on trying to make freelancer like MINECRAFT:
WAR FX:
SPACE DETAIL:

I dont think graphics are what important, and apparently disco doesnt have a policy of focusing on updating them, because theyd make it run badly on older computers.
Are there any actual gameplay benefits we could add from this mod?

Yes enhancing P 2 P (player 2 player experiences, less work on POBs more work on on actual gameplay is what is needed)
Everyone loves a good war and one thats full of good FX, a perfect example is when they changed the projectile effects for the Mortars people wanted the old Mortar FX back.
I think Discovery can be so much more better if more work went into P 2 P FX like those employed in SW..
We are in the 21st Century + 1 Decade I think the computers of today should be able to handle any new FX

Black i must say i might think of playing that mod. You are right in several points. But PoB is a smart move of cannon. You know why? People like to build their own things. (Ak minecraft) in this way people has to fly transports to build. At some point in a game people have enough money to only pew. Do not forget that. Ok I might have done it slightly different, but i can understand why cannon made it with the PoB.
Graphics you can update already. Only well it might give you a cheat sanction. Then again are more ways to cheat and gain advantage over others.. For example FPS...

More eyecandy is on the wishlist for Disco, but lag fixes have been the focus for 4.87.

Never much been a fan of graphics over gameplay myself. Glad to see the focus is on making the game more enjoyable to play, rather than to look at.

Such level of graphic is nothing new, you can go for The Swag Pack

Agreeing with Lamare.
There are enough GFX mods out there that are friendly with the Anti-Cheat so where's the point in any more? The Swag Pack also has optional different sounds now as well.
