Discovery started in June 2005 as a small mod that I made for myself and never intended to release. Later, however, I did release the 4.73 version on TLR, and it got relatively popular... that's when I decided to continue with this work. Discovery is basically a mod that does not change the original Freelancer alot, but rather expands it. You will still find the familiar universe with familiar factions, trade routes and encounters. And - in addition to that - many new features not present in the original game, new ships, equipment, commodities.
Where can I play 4.78 in multiplayer?
Nowhere - you'll have to get a new release, 4.78.1. Beta version of this release is available from this forum; final version will be published on TLR in several days.
What about singeplayer support?
OpenSP for Discovery is not yet ready, but using OpenSP Lite by Chips and Xerx along with Discovery should be fine.
More questions?
