My B******* and whining (read at own risk)
Yes been said before, but I REALLY need to get this out.
1. Game has clearly not been testet properly:
Economy - way way way easier trading than leveling through missions.
Unlabled Objects - jumpholes, suns
AI - all hostiles targets you(other players) above ALL OTHER targets
2. Lacking
Missions - BORING... after 100 missions you are ready to jettison what ever you had for lunch...
Mission - Blowing up bases, battleships, guarding transports and so on... dynamic missions
(and as someone wrote somewhere, random missions like a battleship with a blown engine some where i a distant system... you get paid to deliver engine parts AND keeps the profits also)
Ships - Better variety, difference in speed for exsample, instead of just having 3 top ones that everyone use.
(think anubis is one of the coolest looking ships.. soo there!)
Equipment - The difference between shields should be more powerful,
and thrusters could use some differences too (along with a class and type...LF, HF).
Missiles are not really worth the cash, when you get some nomad weapons, missiles are worthless (sunslayer is nice though)
JumpHOLES - I understand how jumpGATES can deny you access, as it is a mechanical structer.... but jumpHOLES are anomolies, how can you be denied access? blah!
Dialog - "you knew here?" grrr no comment
Systems - Those "easter egg" systems seems unfinished....
I havnt figured out the robot world yet, but primus has the planet junai as a description and is called a Samura base (tried gettting that rep to the top... still no missions... cant get anymore friendly that I already am)
(and why are there no nomad battleships in them ??? =(
(btw, try flying to the corner sun in system with the two planets.... when you reach the corner there is still like 100-120 clicks to the sun, meaning you can work "outside the box" when you mod ^^ ... really didnt wanna fly all the way back, so flew into the sun... oh btw waypoints and target distance mess up out there)
Objects - Better gravity for the different stuff in space, suns, planets, jumpholes
stuff like a blackhole somewhere wouldve been nice.
Nav - as there is a command for target so should there be for Nav's.... so you could skip navs, istead of trying to change in midt battle.
Editor - .... lets face it, Freelancer is a nice game, but it lacks replay value, modding is the only thing that is gonna keep it alive IMHO.
I was overwelmed during the SP, and in the begining of multi (went straight to multi after sp).. I mean this game REALLY has potential, but unless there comes some patch/editor/fansite made stuff, I think most would agree that it could have been SOOOO much more.
Thumbs up to all you modders that are trying to help make the game better, you rock!
