Through your support, Freeworlds: Tides of War has once again made it into the ModDB Top 100! It doesn't end there, though. Voting has now opened for the Top 10, 5 of which are in the Upcoming Mod category.

We'd certainly appreciate your vote!


If you follow us on Facebook or ModDB, you might be aware that we announced the period in which our Public Beta will start. The beta is a precursor to release, where will will set you loose in the mod to give you a feel for it (and find any bugs we might have missed). Soon after, the server will kick off for real and the battle for galactic supremacy will begin!

You can find the release window and a great infographic detailing our history here.


For those that aren't aware, our resident Roleplay and Loremaster Darkforce has been running an in-universe news site! This site is active now in the leadup to release and will continue to function afterwards, bringing you the big stories from within the server events!

Check out the site and the latest articles here![galacticnews.net]

We also show some of our latest features to breathe some life into Freelancer!

Also take a look at our trailer found here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/fwtow/videos/official-freeworlds-tides-of-war-teaser-trailer

Fish are slimy, oily buggers, and aren't much to look at. But if you put them in some rice and cover them with seaweed you get a great man!

... Or something.

Anyway, Sushi updates us all on what's been going on, with some more DX9 ship conversion, and bases! We also get a look at Darkforce's Roleplay Guidelines for the official FW:ToW server!

Check it out on your Freelancer port of call, the Starport!
