Theme Mods
I have a question for all good modders, why is it that nobody has made a full theme mod for Freelancer I meen its not like there isnt enough skill out there some of the mods that have been made have been very good.
When I say theme I meen a mod that doesnt rely on the origonal Freelancer systems for the game but one that has completely new systems with new trade lanes and new ships.
I remember seeing one a while back that was based on the star wars theme but I only ever saw one installment of that mod which was a shame as it showed promise.
The thing is if it is done right it doesnt need to be many systems you could actually get away with making a 3 system mod 1 start system and 2 battle systems thats just an example.
What I cant figure out is why all the descent modders seem to be making addons for Freelancer, why ?.
Nearly every configuration of systems, ships and guns has been done but only as an addon to the origonal Freelancer universe which unfortunately every person who has played for more than a week knows like the back of his hand this unfortuantely gives any new mod a short lifespan.
I think its time for someone or a group to release a complete theme mod one where nobody knows where anything is and one that doesnt work with datastorm as I think this would bring back the enjoyement to the game that many people have lost.
