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!

***SHOCKING NEWS***The video game Freelancer promotes racism

Stop trying to keep the black man down!

This is a recording of a conversation between racist white programmers and a black man. Enjoy!

I need yesterday one when buying stuff in la

So I guess they are just rare, and well thats not unrealistic, I mean how many percent of the population they should be? at max I guess 5% (more likly even just 1%), and most of them should be in liberty space, with a few in britonia I guess.

I thought it funny in the demo, all the cops in the bars with those camp little leather hats. When I talk to them I keep expecting to hear.

"I've got a little tip for ya.. 'It's fun to stay at the YMCA, it's fun to stay at the YMCA!'"

Perhaps something for a patch, it would make me laugh anyway.

The blacks were the Coillition that kicked the Alliance out of our solar system (I'll bet it was the arabs and eskimos too)

the coalition was Rusians and of course Arabs.

The pen is migtier than the sword.

I noticed that. And even though this topic is not serious, I am quite sensetive to racism AND I am Black(not even African - American. just pure African). I just don't get racist. I get their voews yes, but not them.

On a lighter note. WHY are some of those chicks bald. I mean, you can't really see it, but some of them are bald. Creepy, Military policy.

I used to hate weddings; all the Grandmas would poke me and say, "You're next sonny!" They stopped doing that when i started to do it to them at funerals.

I have a black nephew so don't take me seriously on the racism crack here.


However, this game is mostly gonna make its money in the US and Japan(sorry Europe, your good but not as much a profit) so there should have been more thought put into the characters. There are 4 black models in the game that can be mixed and matched into about 50 different people. Just shows lack of thought on DA.

just a sidenot, as far as I know the eu market is these days bigger for pc games than the pure us or japan market ... though the japan market is anyway rather small for pc games, they are more into consoles

ah and btw in asia koera is one of the big pc games markets.
guess thats one of the reasons why the manual on the gold version is aswell in korean

Not sure if someone was asking this...or it was just where the Hispania came from, not ehere it ended up...oh well who cares...

As you might have noticed there is no Hispania system...the Hispania never reached its destination and is just a wreckage in one of the systems...forgot which one tho...

If you ever played C&C: General you would know what's racism.

The Iraqi ambassador to the UN has just finished giving a speech and walks out into the lobby where he meets President Bush. They shake hands and as they walk out of the lobby the Iraqi says: You know, I just have one question about America."

Pres. Bush says: "Well, Mr. Ambassador, I will do anything I can to help you understand."

The Iraqi whispers, "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there are Russians, Blacks, and Asians, but never any Arabs. He is very upset. He doesn't understand why there are never any Arabs in Star Trek."

Pres. Bush laughs and leans toward the Iraqi and whispers back, "It's because it takes place in the future."
