The Game seemed to *end* rather fast?

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 Game seemed to *end* rather fast?

51hours of playtime, 500kills, a decked out Sabre with class 10 shield, missles that cost like 8k each, tons of nomad gear, diamondbacks, the works, Ive been to every system i believe, maybe missing 1 or 2, and ive been to a ton of bases, 44systems 116bases 54jumpholes.

And it was a fun 51hours (this was all multiplayer btw), but Im not seeing anything to do now, my missions used to be explore and keel and get uber stuff, but now i have the best stuff, and i've been everywhere, and no one puts up a fight anymore, even the 240k missions i used to do arent much of a challenge.

What did you guys think, games short? dunno if im even gonna play it anymore, since I cant find anything left to do but harass newbies in New York on the server, and thats just mean

There are 51 systems in SP, and over 100 jumpholes, and 161 bases. I'm sure there are still some things to find....

Have you played the SP storyline missions yet?

i know theres alot more jumps i never found, and bases that were hostile that i couldnt get on and stuff, but thats single player, alot of zones are blocked off in multiplayer, i think maybe 2 or 3 systems i havent been to, its pretty much the whole thing, been to all the omicrons and stuff. Was a great game for awhile, but it lost its fun once i got to like rank35, coolest thing around i thought was the nomads and the planet of the apes

Guess im just used to mmorpgs, would take rougly 240hours for me to powerlevel a guy to the max level in daoc, in this ive more or less all of it in like 30% of that, and daoc had an endgame, could go pvp constnatly and go on big raids, but in freelancer.. once your maxxed out.. and the systems are found, the game gets dull.. imho

Yes, and no.

I think once the game has been more established, we'll see expansions coming to it as I am *quite* convinced that the game will be a hit just about everywhere and I doubt that Microsoft will allow a cashcow go just like that..

50+ hours is not that bad for a (not-rpg) game. look at unreal 2 - 6 hours for 55€ (us version here in .at), and you don't really wan't to play through that again...

to me 50hours was only a few days, hardly anything. I played daoc for a total of about 125days (125x24=3000hours)

so 3000hours of playtime comparaed to 50hours, and games like unreal tourny, if thats your thing, last alot longer then 50hours as you just play online when your bored. Multiplayer in Freelancer lacks that PvP aspect that makes games fun once you have 'beaten' them.

dude i think if you played that much you should go out more often and stop playing
