I've played this mod for a while now, and even though it was very difficult at first (I was jumped by several Elementals after leaving New York), it is the best mod on this site and probably all Freelancer sites!

Keep up the good work!
I look forward to the next relase.

Well Folks the new version of Epsilon is coming along well . The main feature of the next version will be more detailed systems and increased stability. Though we are still adding some new ships and weapons. Here's a list of some things that have been done or are being done.

1. Systems refined, encounters added, planetscapes changed.
2. 4 new ships so far
- Black Lance, Light Fighter, Zoners, VERY fast. Model from Firebase. Coded by us.
- Ghost Lance, Interceptor, OS&C, high speed and firepower. Model originally by Firebase, changed and exported by Harrier.
- Morningstar, Heavy Fighter, Bretonian Invincibles, pretty much a flying tank. Model by Parabolix.
- Shadow Runner, High speed advanced freighter. Model by Harrier based on concept from JustSomeGuy.
3. New weapons
- Starburst Mk I-III
- Cold Steel
- Cold Steel Retrofit - comes with Ghost Lance package
- Maelstrom Mk I-II - comes with Morningstar package
- Scourge Mk I-II - comes with Ghost Lance package
4. Infocard problems fixed
5. Weapon effects being refined, fixing blocky ones.
6. New music from Viator
7. New powerplants
8. Accurate reputation changes

That's just the tip of the iceberg . Rest assured, this version will be much better than any we have ever released. We have been working on this thing non-stop since we released 2.7. Keep an eye out for it.

hey lookie! my names there!

Hi there

The next version of Epsilon is well on its way to TLR. Many things have been added and changed in this version. The systems have been under re-construction and re-population to attain a level of realism. The infocard errors have been fixed and almost every single infocard has been updated. We have spent all our time since releasing 2.7 working on this mod and are hoping that you appreciate it as much as we do. Some of the new features...

- System Depth; systems have copious amounts of updates, are fluid, and have a purpose in the Freelancer universe.
- Vanilla Blend ; Additions blend in more with the original or "vanilla" Freelancer setting.
- 8 New Ships;
The Black Lance - Light Fighter
The Ghost Lance - Advanced Interceptor
The Silent Runner - Super Freighter
The Ni'Haal - Heavy Attack Fighter
The Doom - Economic Light Fighter
The Enigma - Advanced Interceptor
The Morningstar - Heavy Fighter
The Reflex - Light Fighter
- New Starting Ship; Reflex Light Fighter
- Ship Infocards Updated; All infocards include registration code and correct stats
- Equipment Infocards Updated: Powerplants include Thrust Capacity, Tractor and Scanner include 100% accurate information
- Many New Miscellaneous Upgrades Added; Tractors, Powerplants, Scanners, Engines, all upgradable with exception of engines
- Prices all changed to more accurately reflect the effectiveness of the item
- Many new weapons; Most available with purchase of select ships
- New shields
- Two New MULTIFIRE Turrets; We are proud to be the first mod to include multi-firing turrets complete with sound. Available with the Nemesis
- Realistic Reputation Changes
- New faction; The Zodiacs, pilot the Ni'Haal, very nasty.
- New, huge encounters; You are now given the chance to participate in huge battles between spiders and lizards, plus many others.

This is, in our opinion, our best work so far. We are currently working on making the universe more friendly to traders looking to gain a leg up over their fighter competitors, though this is and always will be a combat based mod for those craving a challenge. Be warned, this next version is going to be our most difficult version yet...Not a mod for those who enjoy a nice flight through space...

Well, since ive finished exams, im gonna have a bit more time for you boys.

I hope the new epsilon can be downloaded soon. I presume it will be at lancers.

Nice to see you've joined TLR Shark

We are currently working out the final bugs in the mod and putting on some of the final touches. It is really becoming a fun mod. And yes, it will be here at Lancers

There we go.

Well Gate, the version we're going to release isn't quite ready yet. One more ship may be added, and there are errors to be fixed. But if you stay in contact I'll see what we can get for you.

thank you

Epsilon 2.72g was installed on the bobway server and was uploaded to the download section at www.bobway.com for downloading to play on the server.
You must have this vs to get on the server.

Is this the release of the next version, or is this like a beta of the next version?
