So I recently downloaded the mod, have played for about a day, and am looking for potential factions to join once I get off my feet.
In the past I have played another Freelancer RP mod, with almost identical flight mechanics, I played that one for about a year, and so far most of the stuff is very similar in basic aspects.
I have looked into RP basis and relations a little and the Gallic or German factions look most promising for what I am looking for. Mostly, I am looking to pilot a bomber, and I heard the german factions have really good bombers and perhaps after I have played for two weeks I will send them a request to join.
If anyone could point me in the right directions, or give any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I have read the rules, and am eager to start RPing with you guys soon. :D
edit: my ingame name on the server is "Neale"
Where I was born was not my choice, but where I want to be, and what, is.
Ah, there you are ^^ I knew I remembered a guy I helped ingame that wanted the stuff you want ^^
Please remember, the "Germans" here are Rheinländers (or Rheinlanders, as you may call them);)I think the Kusari players don't want to be called Japanese either :)
But you are right: Rheinland has three (!) very good bombers.
The first is the Bergelmir, maybe the smallest bomber you can get your hands on.
The second is the Fafnir, a way larger bomber than the other one.
I wanted to fly the Bergelmir by myself but my Rheinland Military character decided to become a pirate in Liberty instead, so that wasn't an option anymore ^^ Maybe I'll try it in a singleplayer game later ...
Anyway, to fly one of these 2 bombers, you are required to have the proper Rheinland Military ID (and IFF of course). So you might want to send your application form to the official RM faction in this forum.
The third Rheinland bomber is the Red HessianThor spacecraft. It's a "pirate" (Rheinland criminals are more the political enemy of the system than your credit-hunting pirate like in Liberty) vessel, so you are probably not going to use tradelanes that often ... But the Red Hessian Army (RHA) players will surely show you the way if you want to join them!
Thanks guys, I seem to be getting a better hand of things in game. The strangest thing for me is traveling, needing to use the lanes to move effectively across systems.
Other than that, the ship I was eyeing until I join a faction needs 3 more hours of mining, but I'm more willing to mess around for now with the npcs.
Hope to see you guys ingame.
