It's 10+ years since I've played the game, so it's an understatement when I say that I was surprised the Freelancer community is still going. Back then I played on a different server. Once in a while I would hop into Discovery, though, with the 150+ regular players y'all had. I decided to come back because I wanted a familiar RP outlet, and Freelancer was always in line with my RP styles. I enjoy interacting with folks, even when it doesn't involve combat. Though I have to admit that I am very slow at a lot of things right now. I forgot just how different the control system in Freelancer is when compared to most other games. I'm glad to see that there are still regular players in the game, and the RP is still very much alive.
In-game I'll usually be bouncing around on a character named Sozona, which I'm moving to BHG because I enjoy PvE as well as PvP, and it looks like there's money to be made in those prisoners.
I apologize in advance for not providing much of a fight, the learning curve is just as real as it was way-back-when. I'm down to get my butt kicked in Conn, especially if I'm able to learn some techniques. Capital ships ain't my jam. The largest I'm comfortable with is a GB, but even then it's really not 'me'.
What do y'all prefer to fly? What kind of RP styles do you enjoy?
If you need a quick leg-up to getting back up to speed, be sure to check out the Aid for Veterans post that can help you get a few ships that'll get you back up to close to where you were before.
I'm mostly a Zoner and Junker, you can find me on Smugg or on Eventide/Katakiuchi/Defiance.
I tend to stick to cargo ships but that's because both of my characters though I haven't formally started the second yet are in, or come from, a position that would require them to have one. My main is an independent delivery pilot, but lately he's taken to running restock and repair routes for his new home out in the middle of nowhere while he settles into the community. My WIP alt's an ex-Junker with computing smarts, and a runaway from the upper echelons of Bretonian society.
I'm still learning PVP myself so I tend to stick to interactions that won't get me into a tussle, but I'm looking forward to improving.
I started playing Discovery last year,last week of October,I played online many years ago but don't even recall if it was Discovery or not,there were so many! Really seemed toxic to me back then and went back to single player but since I've been playing here I have met many people I would consider my friends. Be sure to download the Discord app,a great place to meet people. I have around 20 characters I play but they are all centered around the Mineore family in Baffin and Omega-11.
I'll keep an eye out for you,maybe we can do some business.
Hello and welcome back to discovery! You'll find me logging the Akhetaten whenever I see something worth logging for within or around Liberty. I'm mainly a Liberty only player with the exception of my GC- character, as I really enjoy the roleplay of a liberty lawful.
I'll be very glad to get to RP with you sometime, meeting and RPing with new people is always a pleasure.

Welcome back.
Oh yes, that was me! Made a signature mistake of getting too close in a snub. Lesson learned (re-learned...something about history and repeating blahblahblah). That was my first RP re-integration on Disco haha!

Thank you for the heads up! I have since taken advantage of the Veterans Aid Program. This has been exceptional at propelling one back into the fray of RP and community involvement. I am very grateful to the community for providing such a wonderful program.

Safe flights, Maaser!
Society would be stuck in the stone-age without dedicated supply distribution! I hope we have the opportunity to encounter each other one day

I most definitely will be venturing into the more dangerous locations and encountering versions of RP I've never experienced. I look forward to our encounters!

It sounds likes we could make good bedfellows. I may even corrupt you just enough to join the slightly less lawful form of peacekeeping
Thank you all for the warm welcomes! See you in the space.
We had a lot of fun chatting with you in Dublin and having you watch our backs during the mining operation! Looking forward to seeing more of you on the server! Feel free to pop into our Discord anytime and say hi!
