I think I saw you on there a few months ago . I was installing my old games to see if I can play them, but sadly I can't play . If you don't know the story, cancer did a number on me, I simply don't have the visual accuity need to combat ANY manner of ship.
Wow, that sucks. Still, I'm glad you're mostly alright in that you're still alive!
Yeah, depending how much your vision deteriorated, Discovery probably just isn't an option, not a game that has much options for "accessibility".
This is what, new game or a mod? I used to play Freelancer mods but on newer OS the game gets progressively harder to install and run plus further left behind. Now I use X3TC for singleplayer (and mods... looots of mods) and EVE for multi.
Discovery is a mod. It's been in progress for a year and a half, with development still in progress (next release is gonna be v4.86). I think it even won Mod of the Year 2010 (it's pretty sweet, just google "discovery freelancer"). I dunno about you, but I bought my computer brand new last december, and run win7, and the game works fine for me.
Incidentally, where is the server located (geographically)?
