freelancer comparisons...

i find that there r some SERIOUSLY annoying things about freelancer:
1/ the HUD display soo gets in my way.. if i close it, i dunno how to open it again...
2/ the top speed is only 80. 80!! come on... at least some 340.. ??
3/ i thought the scenes were gonna be movie-liike (if u kno wat i mean) like the one in starlancer.
4/ the enemies seem to be capable of backfiring, whereas i cant seem to...
5/ my friggin ship stoped ****ing now, and i got the hang of the mouse, but it seems to be prone to getting back en route to the way point, even though i havent got the 'go-to' on.
well, thats for the disappoints for now... and here's wat i LOVE about freelancer:
1/ storyline Rocks!
2/ i LOOVE how other units go into fights of their own and start chewing up difficult targets...
3/ i LOVE the gunboats, they get busted easily by me !!

4/ i LOVE the intellegience of the AI, they chase me behind battle ships...

5/ I LOVE the graphics, the explosions r cool, out does my expectations...
6/ i LOVE the ship that shoots rings of somehting to blow up the lonely scientists' base.
7/ i LOVE . . . i ran out of lovely things..

presently, my world is upside down, so if u do not mind, u'll have to tok to my a$$

Most of your "disappointments" seem to stem from you not knowing how to play the game very well rather than actual problems with the game (and it does have some). Read the manual and/or the control settings in the options.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world:
those who understand binary, and those who don't.

"Back firing" ships I assume you're talking about the bloodhound, those have turrets that can fire aft.

backspace to close, click on corner of minimized hud to open.

2/ the top speed is only 80. 80!! come on... at least some 340.. ??

This one got me laughing. Anyone watch the movie "This Is Spinal Tap"? They bought amplifiers that had volume knobs that go to 11. They claimed they were better than all other amps that went to 10, because it was "one louder".

3/ i thought the scenes were gonna be movie-liike (if u kno wat i mean) like the one in starlancer.

The movies and the like are styled to look a certain way.

4/ the enemies seem to be capable of backfiring, whereas i cant seem to...

Z key

5/ my friggin ship stoped ****ing now, and i got the hang of the mouse, but it seems to be prone to getting back en route to the way point, even though i havent got the 'go-to' on.

Goto or Dock point you to the targeted waypoint, free flight doesn't

Kim, read the manual. It's that paper booklet that comes with the game. If there's no manual, then it's a warez/pirated copy. Go buy a legal copy.
