Freelancer Antares Mod: fonctionnalités majeures et guide de gameplay pour prospérer dans la 2e Guerre Nomade
Cinquant ans après ce que l’on appelle désormais la Première Guerre Nomade, les Nomads sont de retour avec une vengeance. Fifty years later, the Nomads are back with a vengeance. Uncountable wave after wave of Nomad Battleships, supported by armadas of Nomad Gunboats and vast numbers of Nomad Fighters, have swept aside the once vaunted Fleets of the Inner Houses with appalling ease.
Funny thing here. You flew all the missions of SP as Edison Trent and ended the Nomad threat to Sirius…or so you thought. The governments and corporations of the Four Inner Houses have put aside their differences for the moment to rebuild their industries and military strength in the apparent safety of the Antares Sector.
Contexte et nouveau théâtre de guerre
>The 2nd Nomad War<< brings unique challenges and opportunities to Freelancers and Clans. Humanity is evacuating the planets and bases of the Sirius Sector and withdrawing to the newly discovered Antares Sector. Gone are most of the bases and tradelanes in the Inner House systems.
Opportunities arise in the buildup of infrastructure safely for the moment hidden behind an ancient alien Hypergate in the recently discoverd Antares Sector. The two Houses of the Hispania, the Outcasts and the Corsairs, have both faired better than the Inner Houses in the aftermath of the opening salvo of the Second Nomad War.
Zones clés et routes dangereuses
Will you seek your fortune ferrying refugees across the Zetas, a dangerous stretch of space marked by such ominous trails of wreckage as The Trail of Tears and The Devils Corridor? A few bold Freelancers continue to smuggle refugees past the Nomad Fleet. (Nomads are for the time being limited to the Sirius Sector and the Zeta Corridor linking Sirius to Antares)
