Freelancer is one of those games… its awesome… but it just doesn’t work right anymore without mods.
And with mods its fun, but I’ve had a lot of crashes.
Well that’s discouraging. :/
aye, but I still whip it out every few years, load up a discovery mod + homebrew mod server and play with a couple friends (the house I was in when I started playing discovery mod… we all got together to mod the mod to make it more suited to us :P)
Yeah, it’s totally spacey gaming comfort food. :)
