What do you think will happen in the Expansion?

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!

1) You'll have to defend the Red Dragon's base from an attack from the prototype Kursari Cruiser which can Jump without the use of Jump gates/holes.

2) Ageira being quite unhappy about the Kursari Navy reverse-engineering their Jump gate technology.

3) Outcasts becoming something more unhuman, under the control of the Nomads/Dom Vovash

4) Break-up of Rheinland with people leaving and invasion by Corsairs

5) Zoners losing Freeports 9 and 10 (And maybe more) to Corsairs/Outcasts.

Just some thoughts, all backed up by various rumours/news reports in the game.

The expansion will not be like any of you supposes. In fact it will not even be an expansion to Freelancer, it will be a completely new game, called Freelancer Online, with persistant 13,95$/month servers, lots of eipc quests, sized like the complete SP storyline, tons of Quests sized like one mission of SP storyline, literally millions of different auto-generated missions. A galaxy sized 10 times as big, 100´s of ships to pilot, 1000´s of weapon/shield systems to use.

It will be what EnB tried to be but never reached...

shato, ur talkin shato
lol, only j/k, i hope the next freelancer, whether expansion or sequel, will not be online only, for those of us living in backwater lincolnshire in the middle of nowhere, UK, it will be a great shame to have no more single player, so i hope FL never becomes completely MP..... only time will tell.....

and if they dont make an expansion, i will personally climb into my kusari gunship and land it on bill gates' crotch, actually i'll just do that anyways..... only time will tell....

well, heres to the future of FL, may it be expansion-pack full..... only time will tell...

ta..... only time will tell....

-Nomega-....... only tim....ok ok i wont do it anymore....

The only thing i so wish to have is to be able to create a faction, lets say minimum 5 ppl to create 1, then u can buy/conquer urself a base, all of this, in MP of course, that would be soo , soo , soo awesome!
imagine, u come like to omicron tetha, and wish to land somewhere, then some player faction asks u to pay for the land.... etc, u will be able to earn money and deposit it in the base to buy some more base defenses and some weapons to be selled in ur base=SO COOL

I want Thargoids and Witchspace (guess only age 30+ ppl know what im talking about)

God, i loved those thargoids - too bad you couldnt buy one...

Post Fri Apr 25, 2003 3:37 am

I DON'T CARE AS LONG AS IT HAPPENS SOON!!!!

More missions, guns, ships, enemies, whatever.... just SOMETHING to add to the ridiculously crappy end-game that Freelancer has....

Post Fri Apr 25, 2003 9:27 am

Nomads will return.
But this time they will fight, they won't infiltrate into the colonies and control humans..
Trent, King, Juni and all the other old pals will be called by Orillion.
We will kick some Nomad ass with the Kosari, Breatonia, Liberty and the Rheinland.
Huge war coming up.

Post Fri Apr 25, 2003 9:28 am

One more thing, this time Trent will kiss Juni or something like that will happen.

Post Fri Apr 25, 2003 9:55 am

How about this :

30ish years after FL the player returns as the child of Trent and Juni - lets call him Luke (obviously there will be the option to play as a female in which case you will be called Leiya. Meanwhile strange things are afoot in Sirius, nobody really remembers 2 much about the nomads and the military play down rumours about the Dom Kavash ever having existed.

Luke/Leiya are secretly working for the Order who suspect the nomads have again infiltrated the governments. Tobias+King pop up ever now and then offering training and tales of by gone days.

Culminates with a big fight between Luke/Leiya and head nomad guy who turns out to be Trent.....

Or has somebody already done that?

@Brandon
You couldnt buy a Thargoid, but if you played First Encounters after about an hour or so you could find yourself in charge of a thargoid warship - which was way too powerful and ruined the whole game for you...

Post Fri Apr 25, 2003 3:05 pm

@Shato: Yes PLEASE!!!!

@Titan Fighter: I'm already playing on a Dutch server where you can create your own faction, AND you can claim your own space.

@Brandon, He you, i'm only 26 but i've been Elite fan for years, Forcing misjumps to hunt down Thargoids

That's one thing i miss in Freelancer, you don't get a ranking. Someone should be able to tell just how experienced you are. I loved being "Elite" in David Braben's Elite.

I duno, I'm interested in that little tidbit that Van Pelt gives you about re-energizing the waning resources of liberty, and the accident. Also why dose the LSF need to be called in whenever a new trade lane or jump gate is put up???(ah rumor mills). What happenes with the hypergates?? Is there a coalition assault fleet heading for sirius?? Will the monkey and robots ever have anything to say?
