Reasons to grab out the game again !
As time passed, many new tools and mods got developed which opened a bunch of new possibilities in Freelancer.
Autobuy, Credittransfer & more
Through the in 2006 introduced server tool called FLHook many server-side features got added, for example:
- Ammo-rebuy everytime you spawn or dock at a base,
- Credit transfers through whole sirius
- ...
Player cloaking and undocking from player-controlled battleships!
Through FLHook it is now possible to cloak with some specify ships (depending on the modification) and to undock from player-controlled battleships!!

It is possible to connect your ingame characters to forums account and webinterfaces, here is the FlSES-Webinterface (Browser-Interface) as an example:

88 Flak is a fast-paced combat mod with Unreal Tournament 2004 style speed and Team Fortress inspired balancing. It aims to bring quick and brutal arena-like combat to Freelancer, revolved around years of refined class balancing. In addition, it aims to expand the gameplay experience with numerous new features - including docking on player Battleships (use teammates as mobile bases), ability to hire AI wingmen, dynamic AI routines (88 Flak's AI is hailed to be the best in Freelancer), advanced graphics/audio, and more.
88 Flak also totes features such as purchasable stations (private bases that shoot at hostile NPCs (and players)), full customizability via a Freelancer Mods Manager script with configurable client-side and server-side options, "bot" squads for players who don't have many friends to fly with, and other stuff.
