Perhaps I should go into more detail.

One of my favourite games of all time, or at least top five is Frontier First Encounters. I would like to play something more up to date with more challenges, but the same basic idea. If I play Freelancer in open sp mode for long enough will I be able to take my pick of trading and piracy etc., or has anyone played x2, and know what that's like? I'm more into freeform stuff, doing what I want rather than just dogfighting and following the story.

"I work for the second most demonic sect of the satanic bunny corporation. We don't really run this burrow, but we have an agreement with the bunnies that do..."

It is more like Elite than Freelancer......but harder, and bigger (not system wise, gameplay wise).......THATS NOT TO SAY its better than FL. It has its probs........PPL PLEASE do not turn this into an anti X2 thread. Just compare it.

Yes, no unsubstatiated critisism of either game please or i'll lock this puppy so fast.

can i have his liver once the flames die down? im building a sculpture i plan to call it " homage to a newbie "

@MikeH good to see another Elite fan...we're rare as rocking horse **** nowadays ....I haven't played X2 yet, what elements from elite does it have?

I'm not sure. I like the sound of the being able to build your own factories and stuff.

I just want to get an idea of what it's like before I spend £30.

Maybe I'll reinstall First Encounters and play that again, I would be happy with just a gfx upgrade for that

"I work for the second most demonic sect of the satanic bunny corporation. We don't really run this burrow, but we have an agreement with the bunnies that do..."

X2 is a brilliant game with ****e controls. When I say ****e controls. I mean it.
I have seen no game come even close to having controls this bad. If X2 had better controls, it would beat Freelancer hands down. Unfortunately, it doesn't.
Freelancers main advantage is it's arcadish simplicity. Not once while playing it did I encounter anything I didn't understand.

I'm making record time!
If only I had someplace to be...

Oh no, not again...

Aye WB, it begins... pray for swift Mod Intervention if things get worse .
