loads of scifi references
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!

Just off the top of my head, on my first play-through, I noticed:
Trade-lanes are strongly reminiscent of Cowboy Bebop's hyperspace lanes.
The Nomads themselves (when they manifest in a host, and/or take a new one) look a fair bit like Stargate's Goa'uld.
Orillion might as well have a "NOT MORPHEUS. REALLY." sign around his neck.
And while it's not actually in the game, I really wanted Trent to pause on the landing pad on his first visit to the Texas system and observe, unimpressed, "So this is planet Houston."
Just a few examples of how Freelancer is a fun, but very silly and rather derivative game - just like its predecessor's refighting of the Cold War in space. (It's my theory that Chris Roberts wants to be George Lucas, in the worst way. And judging from the Wing Commander movie, he got his wish.)

I beleive when nomads w/ a host wish to perform a nomadi-sh activity (deprating from their form, attempting to infest, physcic abilities) they reveal themselves. Also, "The Order" is an excessivley popular faction designation that appears in a variety of Fantasy and Sci-Fi plots, novels, etc.

oh yes, i remember those, the manta-ray-like thngs with the neelde spitters that latch onto the back? annoying things they were.
I agree about the nomad/goa'uld thing though, they are vary similar, from the glowing eyes to the echoing voice, but the goa'uld dont have the little energy fields on the hands (Look closely in the tekagi scene as he goes nomad, you see little energy fields around his hands and head).
And i also have to admit, when he did that, the first thing i thought was:
'Holy CRAP! GOA'ULD!'
