Note for mod makers: if you use any parts of Discovery mod that were created by other modders (as listed in the Credits section), you’ll need to ask their permission for using their work, models in particular. Using original Discovery files and code made by me does not require a permission, but don’t forget about credits.

Thanks

First of all I would like to thank everyone from Discovery Gaming Community (http://discoverygc.com) for support and help during the development and testing of this mod.

Lots of thanks to Majk, hoster of our new official RP server; thanks to everyone who donated, without you building the new server could not’ve been possible. Thanks to BULLDOGNK for providing his server for our testing and gameplay needs.

Thanks to Korrd, Nightfall, BULLDOGNK, Caylith, Kane, and Fellow Hoodlum, the best server admins ever who provide me freedom to care about the mod (or care about my laziness :)

Very special thanks to Wolfpack for hosting and administering the Discovery Freelancer 24/7 server (2005-2007).

Thanks to Angel of Mercy, Doom, dude42, Epyon the Bored, I m rdy, Legeonation, Mohr, Treewyrm, and Vaporlynx for creating great new ship models for Discovery. Thanks to everyone who submitted systems for including into Discovery.

Thanks to Lancer Solurus for excellent Freelancer modding and server utilities; thanks to Accushot for FLScan 1.3 and to Lancer Solurus for FL Error Checker, great programs that helped me to find lots of code errors.

Thanks to Dev for tips on breaking Freelancer hardcoded limits; thanks to Louva-Deus for useful modding tools, SDK especially.

Thanks to Chips for most useful modding tutorials posted on TLR, and for allowing to use Evolutions icons in Discovery. Thanks to Nightstalker, Mancer, Firebase and all ship modellers listed in Credits for allowing to use their ships for Discovery.

Finally, thanks to Lancer’s Reactor (http://lancersreactor.com) for hosting mods and for the most helpful Freelancer forums, and of course thanks to all modding software creators and to everyone who writes tutorials on TLR forums.
