In multiplayer all u can do is fight or run cargo end result is money
u spend money on new stuff
when u have all the best stuff what do u do with your money?

This is what i think should be able to happen

bad guys can destroy good guys bases etc and vice versa

defence stuff should be able to be built and destroyed of course
forward bases nearer to the enemy should be able to be built so u can use as staging posts for raids etc again also destroyable of course

skills would be needed to repair and rebuild said bases defences etc

This way specific cargo is needed to repair build stuff and would cost much cash
taking out cargo ships delivering building equipment would be smart wise clans would hve escourts etc

it wouldnt take long to run out of money so doing missions and running cargo would need to be done again to generate much needed cash

planets would always be imune to being destroyed
when u die in combat against another player i think wot cash u have u keep but your craft and equipment is lost if you cant afford a new ship u get the basic crap we start off with

this way money would be needed

wot do u guys think?

Imagine newark station being destroyed the gfx can stay the same but its shields and health bars are all gone station would be unusable till repaired this also may effect the econemy because bases that pay the best price for stuff may be out of order

then u need a repair ship instead of having a tractor beam it has a repair beam but it needs repair material

Those are exactly the kind of features you would see in this game if it was complete. But its not. Just goes to prove my point that its a MMOG that was nerfed to single player and rushed out to market in order cut a profit loss. All we can hope for is someone with alot of free time to mod the game for us.

I disagree with you in here too rastafari. The game is complete...it went gold. If it doesn't have the features you want, that's fine. Can you move on now?

Oh and pikey, we have a nice feature on this forum..it's called an edit button. 3 of your posts in a row is enough. Start utilizing the edit button so as not to give the impression you're bumping your own topic.

I agree with Stinger. The game went out, this is what it is, let us all deal with it and enjoy it for what it is.

I also agree with Stinger re: Pikey. Learn to use the edit button and also - heaven forbid - learn basic punctuation and spelling.

It doesn't have to mean their aren't several of us out here hoping the mod community will give it some love and replayability.

sorry my spelling isnt up to ur standards but wot the fcuk has spelling got to do with this game?

fcuk all thought so

back to the pile of crap that is freelancer
i got bored of the game just playing the demo im fcuked if im gunna pay good money on a game that bores me after a few hours
yes i could start a new char but why would i want to if the 1st one bored my tits off

i read some posts of people defending the game saying things like why not race each other go one on one etc ROFL how bored are these people

if the game had any decent content u wouldnt need to race each other or do mindless crap like that
yes i could also spend hours exploring a universe that just looks pretty
id have more fun scouring my cock

to me this game seems to be a kiddie shoot em up
and stinger yes i know this is my opinion
i know i can piss off if i dont like it
and to the other chap that slags off peoples spelling even tho they may not be english

KISS MY ARSE

yeesh!
i'm all for constructive criticism, but thats not what that is.

how in the hell did you start off making a good point and end up ranting like a loony.

you hurt the effort to make freelancer better when you obscure good point with mindless vulgarity.

btw dont bash what you havent bought.
as much as i generally disagree with stinger (oh don't get me started)
at least he makes reasonably informed opinions.(with no backing whatsoever)

if you have ideas to make it a better game fine tell us! i for one wanna hear anything that can over all make a better freelancer for all, but don't just come in here to start a flame war for god sakes we have had more than enuf of that.

god i'm so self-richeous

I am the Kwisatz Haderach[![![!

sorry stinger,
but i still disagree with you as well. How thoughtful of you to ask me to move on, it makes me feel very special. I mean, i wouldnt even bother to ask you to move on becuase i dont really care if you do or dont.

and no, i wont move on till i feel like it. Whether you like me or not the fact that i dropped 50 bucks on this POS game makes me a part of the "community"- such that it is. And now, this site must endure my presence every once in awhile while i check for a patch or a mod or something else that gets my money worth out of the game.

and for pikey,
ya go check out EVE ( www.eve-online.com) ive been watching that game be developed over the past two years, and today i recieved an account for the closed beta test. Just the character creation screen incredible (havent had time to play beyond that yet)...on another note though the release date for it has just been pushed back to April--still crunchin bugs. But, it is what Freelancer shouldve or couldve been. Total player based dynamic economy, player owned stations, corporations (read guilds) implemented into the game structure in a way no game has ever done before, players can research and produce thier own unique products (including ships, weapons, electronics), mining, pirates..//
