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!

the coolest thing in the world (so far)

I was browsing thru the TLR download pages, and on the last one i came across "Freelancer Intro". deciding to take advantage of my shiny new DSL modem, i DLed the 50 mb file. it turned out to be an EXTENDED intro to freelancer... and about a billion times cooler! (that nomad ship is SO cool)

but, the resolution is crappy so i cant do a fullscreen viewing, and the color a bit off (i think)...

neone know where i can get the complete file? (i dont care how big it is!)

id try microsofts site, but last time i was there i didnt see it... plus i hafta go to sleep...

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

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

Post Mon Jan 12, 2004 6:19 pm

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.

**** 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.

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)...

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.

Post Fri Feb 13, 2004 2:25 pm

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!
