I've been playing on one heck of a fun Freelancer Server for the past month or two. It's called Eagle Utopia.
you start off on New London in a Hawk LF, 10,000 credits, and the Whole Sirius sector to explore
Some Slight Changes they have added with there Mod for the Server
1. Beware of Hawks that are flown by some minor pirate groups..... LV 10 Shields, and Nomad weapons
2. Beware of Nomads. There everywhere...... and there ships have been upgraded
3. New skins for there ships, Cruse speed set at 600
