found the Discovery mod 4.85 some days ago and try it out. I'am really impressed and it makes a lot of fun for me.
But i need your help in a couple if questions about the mod.
I play singleplayer and use my old ( in my eyes perfect savegame from the vanilla Freelancer v1.1 ) with
good reputation at the most factions, my lovley Titan and also the special glass 10 weapons where can be found in the universe.
Level 38 is reached and Plot is completely over. Also the full vanilla sirius is explored.
Now i played a little ( 3 days ) with the mod active and found some new systems too and explored it. All nice !
here are my questions.....
1) Is any problem known when i use the vanilla save ? and which kind ?
2) i don't understand how the ID thing is working, bought some of them but the use is mysterious for me ...
3) the new ships are great, but there are a lot of them :-))
Any advice for the best ships in different class ( like Titan in vanilla ) ?
Also weapon infos are welcome!
4) I also tryed to start a new game with the Discovery mod 4.85 and it seams there is no plot ?
Is this true ? So the Level up will works only with earned money ?
1) Your old save games wont work since a lot of data changed.
2) The IDs are designed for the multiplayer part. Each ship needs to have an ID (it is also the tractor beam) mounted so everyone can identify them. The IDs set the role of the character and its faction roots.
3) That is something you need to find out on yourself I fear, there is so much to tell.
4) The discovery mod comes with a open singleplayer, which means it has the story disabled and everything in it the mod has in multiplayer.
5) I added that one in case you want to join the roleplay in multiplayer.

We needed to get rid of the singleplayer story, because it just wouldn't work with some of the changes - we moved some objects the campaign counted on. For example, the JG in NY that used to lead to Magellan now leads to a completely new system.
The storyline was present in the version before (4.84), but its playability wasn't good - it was way too hard.

OK - a bad thing. But i'am looking forward and started a new game with v4.85.
I used the ironcross editor to bring my new save to the same stats from the old save from vanilla.
Also use the option to discover the old vanilla universe is working.
It seams to be working fine .......
Any known problems with that editor and v4.85 ?
Now i will travel into space and find my own history :haha:

The editor doesn't discover the entire universe for you, just the Vanilla part, and I think you have to copy some files into its folders for it to recognise the discovery ships.

Well, if you like hunting for class 10 weapons, we have even more types now, with pretty effects but personally I prefer the class 9 weps.

There is no real "best ship" for any class (although some would say the nomad shipline are the best, they're difficult to get hold of on the server), so pick a style of ship which suits you: Fragile, hard to hit and with silly dragon wings? Kusarian Chimera (class 10 using Dragon). Bulky, heavily armoured and fish shaped? Bretonian Templar (class 10 using crusader). Check the wiki for all ships sorted by type, and find one which suits you. The wiki also comes with weapon specs, so feel free to browse.
I'd suggest joining the server. We've got a workaround installed so just go to multiplayer choose either option to find the server. You'll meet interesting (and some very wierd) people, and if you can learn how to RP, you'll soon fit in. It worked for me anyway.
