Well Well well!!
If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Freelancer/Privateer.
Privateer rewarded you with better ships through story driven missions. It got you hooked and I, when I was younger, played it literally for hundreds of hours.
Yet with Freelancer, I played through the story, levelled up to 38, have 10 million creds in the bank, a decked out Dromedary (cause, well, I like the cargo room and I'm not jiggy with the Rheinlanders' boat like turning of the Humpback) and have cruised the entire universe from end to end. Indeed, everybody DOES know my name in that universe.
Even MP is a little boring after some invested time because you're right back to being uber powerful with nothing to do.
Yes, I have tried the Sabre/Titan/Eagle...yes I have the level 10 shields and weapons in my hold collecting dust.
But why bother playing if there's no CHALLENGE.
The problem that Freelancer has is that it lacks challenge where Privateer made you sweat to wonder if you were going to be able to make it out of this mission alive (whether script or random).
Freelancer is the START of a great game...but needs more community driven content as well as developer driven content.

Screw single player. Its the same as RTCW, SP was ok and kinda fun, but MP gets u hooked.
I'm playing with a few people I know over Multiplayer, me a freighter, they protect me and we fly around figuring out trade routes and finding hidden stations. It is so much fun playing with this little group, protecting me as I run. Right now we hang around level 20-27, and we are coming close to getting Kusari fully mapped. Thats is ONLY kusari.
Do not use the trade computation progs, they ruin the fun of discovery.
I never played Privateer, but all you guys seem to do is compare the two. Play Freelancer, dont play I-Wish-It-Were-Privateer. If it were a sequel, they would call it Privateer 2.
