Freelancer - The Void

For many years I was playing freelancer in my grandson's Pc again and again...and I thought I knew all the hiden sides of the "freelancer's Universe"... until I discovered the Void mod and server.
Now I have introduce it to my Great Grandson and we play together in our LAN... or when I am tired being killed by blood thirsty youngsters on line...I return to the "stand & play alone" mod and enjoy flying around and discovering new places..
Congrats to all who participated to create (more than double) the new "freelancer's universe" with so many hiden secrets.
I should suggest though, that the bullish attitude to be minimized and the firepower to the [X] and [R] to be in a lower level, so , the new users who want to exploreto be able to do it with less fear and difficulty.
Anyhow, it is just an opinion.  The whole set up is excellent...and again.....congratulations to everyone who participated to this creation.
P.S. Just curriosity..... how come the most of the manes in freelancer are greek? has anyone an answer?

Hi Uncle George !
Thank You for your comments and I hope you will continue to enjoy the Void Mod.

We get notes like this from players continuously and they are truly the "Rocket Fuel"
that keeps us going here.

Remember ...  Space is a dangerous place.  It is also wondrous and vast.
Room for many different types but also with an ever present tension in the atmosphere.

The Latin theme is root in many cultures and languages.
It is a natural fit for the expansion of the Void's Freelancer Story.

Have Fun and
Scream On !

WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! Another Golden Oldie! I swear mate we need to get organised and show these whippersnappers a thing or too....

Im guessing that you are in the Over 40 category? Me, Watchwolf and Roadbug (Argh) are at least three of the "should be out doing the garden but are inside playing games" and the "Are you on that computer AGAIN????" group of Born Again Teenagers....

My wife asked me, "Are you ever going to grow up?" The answer is a resounding "NO - NEVER!"  :D

Some of the planet names - particularly the Zoner planets are all Shakespearian references....

I can't believe what I 've just read.

Somebody older than Zeb in the void.  :D

I am in my 30s and sometimes I feel like a golden oldie against the youngsters lol.

Men just don't grow up, we stay kids forever, fact of life.  

The void is a place for players of all ages, this proves that.  And we wouldnt want it any other way.

Over 40?? Heh. SOME of us are in the Over 50 Gold category and I can name one in the Over 65 Elite. (But I won't...)  :)

You young whippersnapper, Zeb. Still wet behind the ears...

Anyway, WELCOME to the Void, my compatriot. It is indeed a wondrous place, AND dangerous. Feel free to call upon any and all players not sporting the [X], [R] or Nomad tags to assist. AoF Freelancers are particularly adept at knowing the "other way around" to get where the good stuff is. Roadbug and Pit Viper are the resident experts. I know a trick or two as well.  Always feel free to avail yourself of our vast reservoir of knowledge.  :D

And remember always:

lol u guys, no u kids

We are the "elder statesmen" of The Void....

Much of the modded stuff is historically accurate, the names are real and the places are real. Some are also taken from great works of literature...shakespeare.

Sort of beats having names like "mega base" and "l33t planet"

Anyways, i'm glad you enjoy it...well we all are.

Welcome mate,
maybe we should found a clan [O] for Oldlimers above age of 40

have fun

comes a point in a mans life.  that point you know the  maturing gracfully etc.  all your friends are down in the pub tellin stories about last nights exploits/conquest over a table full of guzzle.  And we think to ourselves there REALLy has to be more than another night keeping your fingers crossed you won't have to use 'the cream' in the morning again or go on a bender for alkaselzer.  

And gentlemen........... we have found our answer to the 'what's more'

FREELANCER and VOID  our as the kiddies say............Drugs and Rock n Roll !!!

Deadly deadly mix!!

 Answer from UncleGeorge:  I should definatelly belong ( according to the above mentioned limits) in the Elite Category. (I was born on 14/9/1922. make your account), but my heart is like a teenagers....and sometimes  my mental age goes bact to kindergarden (I play with my grandchildren and my greatgrandchildren), but anyways.... I always enjoy every moment, and I would like some day to be vaporised in space (when the time is due). As far as wives or anyone to shout upon me because I am in the PC..???? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh...I don't give account to anyone.. I still enjoy though gardening or traveling and when weather is nice I go out... but .... freelancer is an addiction...and I have to come back again to get my dose.    Enjoy and have fun:)

Why thank you, Uncle George! I haven't felt this young in a long time. I'll have to see about drying off behind my own ears!!  :D  In fact, Ol' Pit Viper  will be delighted to meet HIS elder, I'm sure.

Anyway, it;'s great to see ya here and I hope to see you in the black of the Void soon!

 WOW! Respect......Check out the [OAP] thread on the News for Clans of the Void.....!!!

I should have added - "Can you remember the advent of Television?" "Do you know who Ava Gardner is?" "Do the Three Stooges make you laugh?" "Do you know what Carnation Milk is?" "Have you ever used a ration card?" and " Are you a close friend of HG Wells?".........!

 *(ducks from the well aimed clip round the earhole...!)*  :D
