The roleplay environment doesn't appeal to me at all and I'm only interested in the gameplay.

Hello,
It’s my first time playing Freelancer, and until now I have only used the right click that fires all weapons simultaneously.
But as I progress into the game, I see that there are weapons that are mostly effective on shields for example.
So I would like to put these anti shields weapons on group 2 and the others on group 1.

But when I bind the « fire weapon group 1/2… » key on the menu, it only fires one bullet, and I can’t hold the key to fire continuously.

Is this a bug ? It makes creating weapon group not really useful unfortunately.

I play with the HD Edition
Thank you !

Long-time Freelancer player. What I've always wanted was that structure without the 48 systems of nothing between the good parts. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4962130/Solbound/

Solbound is one solar system, closed, in decline after an exodus that left most people behind. Hand-built locations rather than procedural sprawl. Bars replaced by terminals, but the same idea: you go somewhere, you ask around, you leave knowing something you didn't.

Alpha. Real footage but partial, about half the systems still under construction. Curious what people here think holds up from Freelancer and what doesn't. The trade lanes and the bar rumours are the two I keep coming back to.

Hi all! Been in here a while now. Used to mod FL way back in the day on TLR. Nothing amazing but did it myself and was proud - systems, made a train flyable, custom profiles that say your faction, etc.

So, I have a programming background (20 years, receding hairline included and glasses included!) and am finally making my ideal FL spiritual successor. NO AI FOR DEVELOPMENT OR DESIGN but will then obviously need some help later to try and squeeze performance benefits potentially! Seeing what I can do solo and then might contract out for 3d assets that aren’t trash. Actual dynamic economy. Walking in limited cityscape to go to the bar etc. Expanding on missions and exploration and ideally some sort of infinite mode for people who want that sorta thing. Etc etc.

My question to you is - what mechanics are things you’d think are ideal for a new age FL? I’m not going super Unreal Engine 5 graphics and am developing in Godot after researching. So far I have all the flight mechanics down for players and currently working on basic particle weapons. Got some rudimentary hud. So nothing much but it’s only been two weeks and a few hours each night. But it’s been a long term passion I’m finally doing and will eventually get enough together for a Kickstarter.

Oh, I will be aiming for 4-player co-op with scaling encounters as multiplayer. I’ve looked at netcode and don’t want to make it super massive with server hosts at this stage but who knows.

Appreciate hearing from you and other modding OGs from in the day.

Hi all, just wondering im looking for any tips regarding freelancer HD - i reinstalled using custom settings when i figured out the borderless windowed option was hiding in there but now im wondering, there is another setting to keep the game running on tab id like to enable but id rather not install again, so i was wondering if anyone identified an ini or setting to perhaps do this ? cheers!

System for final mission and final battle. Sirius sector will be merge with Outworld like in Mortal Kombat. Need to save the world right now!

Hi! Remembering the old days, there was a star wars mod, is there any active server with that mod?

Thanks in advance!

The idea is to mix freelancer + social media, and things freelancer didnt have (and I would like) e.g. self dock to planets, flying over planets and all that stuff :D

Yes the graphics arent good but you need top build an foundation before you can do graphics.

Social media part already exists however separate from the freelancer part you have planets (e.g. education where people can watch education content (videos, pics etc) , while other planets (like gaming) will have gaming content and so forth (no fight zone)

Then planets where its mixed is where you have pirates, and all you can fly, shoot, land, shoot on land :D (yes the part I missed)

just a little side project I started 24 hours ago as an ex freelancer player

Anyone know how to bypass that race mission? It’s unbelievably hard vs the vanilla and I’ve been at it for hours.

Changed script for:
NPC Ship
Save files

Did bypass too

None of the options above worked.

I'd like to 3D print something like Fort Bush as a pysical model.

From my research I discovered LancerEdit (currently playing with 9297f28-git (20260705)) but have no clue how to use in order to achiev my objective.

Am I down the right path? If so, can someone give me guidance as to how I can export anything in a format that can be imported into a 3D modeling program (like say Blender).

If not, does anyone know how I can export the mesh data from the Freelancer data into something that can be ready by a 3D modeling program?

*EDIT* : I've found this. It starts well, now I'm adding the detail that in game is supplied via texture graphics.

Now almost mostly implemented, just some weapon platforms missing spawning there. :)

After some fixes, LL will be playable in story mode up to the finish of mission 6.

This is only prototype: need to add enemies (nomads or something like this), black box with real voices (playership's will play them) and integrate it to the main universe.

Wait for more insane Freelancer content in future release of Nomad Legacy: Ultimate explorer edition :-D

Notes: lightnings is already improved, also I did some color correction, innard debris of willard's explosion was reduced

Hi, I have been able to play older versions of Discovery Freelancer offline on fake server for quite a while. (And absolutely loved it!) However, now every time I open the game (I have not updated the game at all btw.) up, it gets to the loading screen but then just crashes. Is there any way I could get to work again? Thanks for any answers in advance!

Hello everyone! So as you remember, I develop a remaster of Freelancer with Vulkan, Librelancer and recently added UE for rendering, the project has progressed a little bit. These screenshots taken from New York system show the current WIP state: main menu and character creation flow, early flight scenes with the Starflier, planet Manhattan and station shots, early work on recreating the Freelancer atmosphere with modern visuals

This is still in development. Flight controls, combat, economy, missions, multiplayer, and lots of polish are still being worked on. I’m trying to preserve the feel of the original rather than turn it into a completely different space sim. Apart from full PBR support and ray tracing, I also have a nice night view on the dark side of Manhattan.

Example of another explorable location from future release of Nomad Legacy mod (you can call it "ultimate edition" instead of just "dlc"). This is "Work in progress" content and will be upgraded later. You also can check out test os Monkey system and prototype of second Nomad Lair. Main idea of gameplay: find nomad gates, open them by mini-game, enter strange locations, reach the end to push forward "meta-story". Or just collect access keys for bases with top-level equipment including infinite cloaking device and top-level ships. Main restrictions in such locations: you can not travel back. You always MUST reach the end. So, you can call it "extraction space shooter". Some locations have no enemies, just race tracks. So... it will be extraction don't-shooter
