Freelancer and Firewire
So I just got one of my friends hooked on Freelancer. He's been playing for awhile, and after getting tired of me bragging of my 1337 skillz (though I think it's really not bragging if you're talking about something you can actually do 
), he decided he wanted to play me, 1 on 1. For various reasons which I won't go into detail with, playing over the internet and a traditional ethernet LAN are out of the question. Our only choice for a network is an old-fashioned Firewire cable. The only networking protocol supported by firewire, however, is TCP/IP. Besides that, it's known that not a lot of games are stable over firewire networks. Does Freelancer support this protocol? Can anyone confirm that Freelancer will play MP over Firewire? Anyone willing to help has my gratitude!
