Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Liberty in 818 A.S.

by Igiss on Jan.07, 2011, under Discovery Blog

Merry (belated) Christmas and Happy (belated) New Year to all Discovery players!

The lack of traditional Christmas announcement will be compensated by some more news in the new year. Yes, we surely promise to get more updates to you. Both about Discovery Freelancer 4.86 development and about 4.86 storyline. And yes, we are planning to release the mod this year, most definitely we are. But exact release time will remain unspecified until everything is done and ready for you to test out.

This post is dedicated to the events happening in Liberty in 818 A.S. (prior to the 4.86 release). Previous story posts can be found here:

Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Factions of Gallia
Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Tau Conquest
Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Kusari in 818 A.S.
Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Bretonia in 818 A.S.

The war between Liberty and Rheinland is moving towards its logical conclusion, since both nations are interested in peace. Rheinland ended up in a tough economical situation and cannot allow itself to lose the whole warship fleet needed to defend its boundaries. At the same time, Liberty faces the threat of a future attack from Gallia. To prepare for the war with Gallia which seems to be inevitable, the war with Rheinland has to end, one way or another.

The carefully planned attack against Munster could be one of the final blows of Liberty in this war, and also reveal some of Liberty’s true goals and intentions for the attack against its neighbor…

Need Frelancer HD. No disscussions! X3 is good but it’s a cra… poory “orbital simulator”. Who is a top-programmer? Plz help build a new engine for freelancer…It’s gonna make an revolution among the space-games.

they dont have the manpower for structural upgrades to freelancer, and no one really plays disco for the graphics. Whats the storyline for the corsairs? They need to update their alliances to keep up with the outcasts. Maybe an truce with some factions in kusari?

Excuse me! I’m comin’… move aside… oh, sssoryyy..i just stepped on your foot…move aside.. Okay! Hi! What about to remake Freelancer on a X3TC’s game-engine? It’s quite possible, but there are few problems… In X3TC’s engine you can’t land on planets and there’s no physical models’ deconstruction, also the sectors’ size limited to 4200 km…May be there’re a few some more problems, but if you got a well-programmer, everything is possible. Few people already have made something outta freelancer in x3tc. Think about that! Good luck!

ps
When discovery 4.86?

Hi,

Excellent work by all, when I play Open SP is there a hidden plot or is it fly around and blow sh*t up?

Cheers!

I would love to see some Privateer2 and Starlancer ships in Discovery 4.86. Also the Hammerhead SA-43 from the TV-Series “Space – Above & Beyond” would be a very nice addition. Anyway, I’m looking forward to see and explore Discovery 4.86.
