Way back in the early days of FL mod development, there was a mod that seperated the wheat from the chaff. Announcing the return of Galactica Hellgate 1.3. Released way back in 2005 the mod recieved a very warm reception on its release. Coded by Gibbon & Asmo the mod was noted for it's locations, ships, "difficulty" and other content including the dreaded Hell Demons. This new version has been updated from the older 1.2 version and now includes a number of fixes, the inclusion of the global server workaround by w0dk4, a new OSP version (Open Single Player) and various model updates. Will be available for download very soon

Nice to see you back Asmo. Know what you mean about forgetting stuff, i have to look through various files to find out where all the stuff is, mind boggling

I like a challenge, not so much as to PvP but with the NPCs themselves. PvP is great and I love it but, Freelancer is something to have fun with, without having to join a Clan just to be on a server that's not your own.
I'm not into always being told what to do, don't get me wrong but, I've been playing RP games for many a year now. Back before PC games were ever thought of.
I'm some server problems with others viewing it die to router and a mod make over but, when I can, I game on FBUs server trying to stay alive fighting Nomads on it. It's not a pleasure trip either. Nothing's cheap and you can learn alot about fighting while on it. No caps ships and that's a great change. No pawning players. All is done in VHFs or any ship you want and they can be upgraded to support any and all class 10 weapons and other equipment. It's fun, fast and death defying.
Hope this is what it's going to be about as well?
Hope to try it out as soon as you can get it ready for playing.
HK.
Just a short addition, back when I first started running a server, as for the design of the logo above, I always wanted to see if it was possible to design ships as bikes since I like to ride them. Anyway, I started to draw up a few but wasn't sure just how to turn them into ships?

Obvious choice would be to create them in a 3D environment. For FL i'd suggest Milkshape as you need that eventually to convert the model to FL. Nothing stopping you using 3DS Max or Maya or any other program, as long as it ends up in Milkshape. If you have no experience with this then you need to find a modeller that does as it's the only way it will end up being seen in FL at least As to Hellgate, there are some real nasties in there who excel at killing players. They are mean, nasty and dangerous and they are called the Hell Demons. They make Nomads seem like pussycats. Bear in mind this is an old mod which i'm trying to fix to make it more stable as there were/are a lot of issues with stability due to ways we tried to implement code back then because we didn't know any better. I currently have it running and it seems a lot happier than it used to be, but still not finished with it

I'm ready. After years of running a server, now I can't seem to get one to do anything for me even on LAN . So I'm kind of needing to vent. Let's get this on the net soon. I want some Nasties.

On hold is the short answer. I'm working on my Galacticum mod atm. Lots of things to fix in Hellgate and its gonna take me forever to make it really stable.
