To All FL players
I want to know why the FL comunity hasn't rallied with their talent to put on the drawing board a full scale mod that combines many of the things that people want added or fixed to the game. If Digital Anvil and Microsoft thing that the modding community can fix up their own tools, why don't we then. I have put together a list of things that I have seen that people want changed in the game, here they are:
-More Systems
-More random missions for more different factions
-more single player storylines
-more ships and outfits
-Different levels of engines that don't just change burn time, but speed too.
-Different levels of cruise engines
-Armor outfits
-Ships that can be customizable iwth spray paint logos.
-Different level shield batteries
-more secrets and hidden items
-Diablo style skill advancing as you advance levels
-Capability to board ships with out destroying them.
-Microsoft supported 24-7 servers with maximum players allowed (Multiplayer is made the interact with other players, that is why the 16 player servers in my opion are boring).
-Objects in 3d space and not just organized on a 2d plane.
-Ability to join and start factions.
-Build bases and inhabit new planets perhaps through missions.
-Ability to hire escorts
-Voice over Net
-All over more freedom
-Levels higher than 38 that are harder to get to.
-More derilect ships
-New Governments.
-Police that respond faster after the player refuses to jettison cargo
-More ships with better models, many existing ones look like insects
-Ability to store multiple ships at different locations and planets for storage fee and the player has to return the the location to retreive it.
-Can't kill human players that are below 66% of your level
-Systems that can adapt to players decisions
-Missles that are cheaper
-Can raid stations/planets after destroying their defense fleet.
-Settling/Exploring new systems.
-GUI editor for creating and editing most game features.
-Better security on servers against cheating.
-Customizable multiplayer characters - not just Trent.
-Can name your ship.
-Fighter bays for large frighters and large battleships.
-More graphic enhancement settings
-More multiplayer game filters
-Trade lanes go faster
-Gunboats and cruisers and battleships patrol sysems.
-Specialized mining frighters than can mine faster.
I don't know if all of these could be included in a patch or a mod, but if you like some of these ideas or have additional ones please reply. I think that we should start a petition to Digital Anvil and Microsoft to get what we want to make Freelancer a much better game that will last longer.

FL is very nice visualy there is no question about it! The storyline also but your forced into it right from the start and the story rush at you all the time up to the end. You end up fast in major wartime and the all galaxie seems unaware of it!... no economic impact no where... no impact what so ever other that your rep that toggles between red and green extreams... And after the story... the only story... your rep sort of reset with the factions like at the start... Then, not much to do in the game after the story... You have a good ship, good gadgets and there is no point of doing the delivery boy stuff after that... It gets very boring very fast....
