I don't think it's any better version of the Nomad Intro on the Net, but yeah, that intro is way cooler that the orginal one

so no one knows where i can get a fullscreen version (with good resolution)???

omg its so good

btw, i didnt want to make a new thread cuz someone revived my old one so i have 2 up now...

but which missile launcher should i get?

cannonball or firestalker? is the "homing" label worth the decrease in firepower? i just thought itd be cool to have some missiles on my eagle

The homing rating is NOT worth the decrease in firepower. 90% of the time, you should be right on top of an enemy before even thinking about launching missiles, making the turn rate of the missile irrelevant. Just go with the greater firepower, in this case the cannonball.

As far as the intro goes, it IS a lot cooler...but anything about the Nomads or the fate of the solar system was dropped from the plot of the game, so anything past the sleeper ship part didn't happen in the actual storyline. It is cool to look at though.

I will aid them when I can...if they give me a percentage of the salvage from whatever they frag along the way. But god help them if someone puts a bounty on THEIR heads, for I don't care who I hunt for, as long as their live capture(or untimely death) can get me enough credits to buy a decent sized mug of my favorite drink."- A Freelance Bounty Hunter.

Anub- damn, what IS the plural for that? Anubii? Anubises? Anubice?

meh... Firestalker sounds so much cooler tho
oh well... i guess ill take the non-homing version

**** WARNING ****

The movie you downloaded is not an extended intro. It's the concept intro, but it got scraped and replaced by the current intro. Nothing you see in that intro you downloaded has any connection to the game you play.

**** END WARNING ****

The alternate intro where the Solar System is taken out by the giant Nomad ship is on the bonus DVD you get with the Freelancer soundtrack album. There is also a "making of" feature and more cinematics including the first time Dr. Sinclair saw the alien artifact.

The soudtrack is worth having just for the music. It's available from Amazon.com for only $14.99.

"Causes come and go. I'll just keep freelancing, if it's all the same to you."

ok.... but isn't it the same music they used in conquest frontier wars???

you know microsoft began to make that game and scraped that, and ubisoft finished the job where microsoft stopped... maybe ubisoft used the music with microsoft maded for conquest, but used it later in this game (freelancer)...

"Honey, remember how we told our kids not to play on the railroad tracks?"

"Dear, the police are here. They have a search warrant, and there's still 300 kilos of cocain sitting out in the living room!"

Do you know the date it says it was added?

You wait for the enemy to fly in a straight line and fire a sunslayer.

YES!
At last, someone has spoken some words of wisdom.
The heavier the missile the better; they never hit unless fired stright anyway.
A good combo is the Sunslayer and the Tizona Del Cid:
Just fire the Sunslayer and their shields should be down by the time it hits...
BOOM!

WTF??! There is a soundtrack album for Freelancer? Whew... half a year of absence from the Freelancer universe and i'm missing the best stuff! :O
