I posted a trailer for Freelancer's Discovery mod relatively recently, and since then I've got into some very basic video editing myself.

This is a compilation of a few of the more eye catching fleet battles that happened on the official server over the last month. Hopefully I'll be a bit less amateurish by the time November's is due.

Also if seeing these clips starts getting repetitive, by all means let me know and I'll tone it down. :)

okay i watched a little. Very very cool! I didn't know that this was what Freelancer looked like these days, and this is a very cool way to find out about this Discovery mod. Thank you for sharing! Seems very interesting, I might have to read more about it when i get some free time.

This mod reminds me a lot of STALKER Anomaly, which was a mod for the STALKER games that dropped within the past few years. Basically stitches the maps from all three STALKER games together, fixes all the bugs, and adds a much deeper metagame. GAMMA was the refinement that came out a year or two ago, which slaps a ton of extra mods into it so it looks kind of like a modern game on top of everything else. I have not played either of these mods (I decided to try playing through one of the main games instead), but i know they blew up in a similar way to this one.

The mod has been consistently going since 2005, so they've had a lot of time to build up assets! There's a lot of snazzy new features, but everything still aims to integrate with Freelancer's original setting and lore. Mixed success, but it works more often than not. There's a community Discord if you wanted to take a look around or ask questions.
