Some people have reported (sound?) problems that break one of the story mission regarding some Valkyries. That would probably be good to fix.

And I think others have managed to "break" the story by delaying missions a long time or amassning wealth, I'm not sure.

One "solution" to the getting stuck in docking bay problems would be to make it possible to fly through the doors from the inside.

I noticed one of the first cutscenes where it didn't show the extra gun I had installed on my Starflier. Does that count as a critical fix?

Swapped Mouse to PS2 port, fixed problem, thanks mate

The game has been out now for about 3 weeks and there still hasn't even been a single post from any developer that I have seen . (And I go to the FreeLancer main site daily, and visit here several times a day.)
We just keep hearing from this sites Admins that "they are talking with them".
In my opinion there is just no excuse for such lousy customer support....especially when you consider the game was released by what is probably the largest software company in the entire world.

So, I am starting to get the feeling in my gut that the game was released "As Is", and will never get patched...much like many/most other M$ games.
And, I doubt they will ever even have the intestinal fortitude to make any comment about it either.

So, there you have it "Devs"...prove me wrong! (PLEASE!!! )

And to those that are having problems with USB/Optical mice.

I am using a USB Optical Logitech Trackball...and have ZERO problems....I REALLY hate to say this.....but are you sure you have the latest drivers for your USB Ports/Mice?

Only problem I have had with USB, is USB 2.0...and that's a hardware problem...The USB2.0 controller is shot...Had to get a USB1.1 card...lol

However...Patching would be nice...But for some reason....MS is more interested in patching thier swiss cheese operating systems then games.....Game updates are few and far between, while Windows gets patched almost every day.

It would be nice to see some other Freelancers in the game. What, you're the only Freelancer in Freelancer?

One thing I'm hoping for in a patch is a re-balancing of all ships and weapons.

WHY? The universe is filling fast with Class 10 ships and Nomad cannons. No variety in gameplay when everyone is flying the same thing and space combat consists of "shoot, shoot, kill" with no strategy involved = bored. You will all eventually come to this point and return back to whichever other online game you play due to lack of variety in freelancer.

If every ship had its own advantages and disadvantages, perhaps there would be more variety in ships (and equipment) people fly as well as interesting battles involving varying tactics.

i would like to see more mission types

freighter escorts
search and rescue
goods transportation

and a ramming spike for the rhino

but thats just my opinion

Umm, I'm wondering if there's a bug with "Planet of the monkees" and "Planet of the robots" since their info bubble displays "Planet Junyo" info.
And they had nothing to trade either and no missions were available, but that could perhaps be a consequence of me not being to popular with the Samura Corp. at the time, although they weren't in the red.?

I had all the latest Mouse & Motherboard drivers for my USB. Didnt seem to matter which version of the 4 in 1 I used. Works ok plugged into PS2 port so I can only assume it was the polling speed (Which I changed...No effect) of the USB 2.0 port not the game at all.

Why not to make user stats (ship money and so on) client side. I want to play single player then go to some server and have my ship, my money, my level and so on... its not fun to jump from one server to other and start all over again...

in reply to tachyon:

why not look at OFP (operation flashpoint) some patches were filled with missions weapons and vehicles

For anyone that gets trapped in a docking bay: simply click on the port to target it, and hit F3 (dock.) The bay doors will open and you'll automatically exit. As soon as you're free, hit "Esc" to cancel the docking action. This does not work with hostile bases.

yup... i'd like to see all the ships rebalanced and what not...

even like "models" of the same ship really... with different max levels and armor and what not... maybe different mounts... like a couple levels of the banshee and what not... maybe make some of the non-flyable ships flyable in MP mode... give each side their own LF, HF, VHF, FR... or at least the main sides... and have different levels... so if you wanna be loyal to the liberty peeps, you can actually fly a level 10 lib ship without having to grab a titan or something like that... its just silly...

eh... whatever... guess one could Mod this for a server...

I like this game very much (becose there is no other (xbtf was fun 2years ago))

but i will never forgive DA two things:
- missing COMM ( with premaded orders , raports and TAUNTS!!!( i mean u press a key .. and ur m8 will hear it .... like in CS etc.. )
- 3 mission types ( i think no 1 got fun with doing same things all over&..... after couple times u can even predict how many enemies will be & when they come!! )

Now in MP ... with buddy in group .... i cant feel he's there ( alpha 2 .... do u read? respond!!!! ...... shhhhhhhhhh ) - MADE COMM FOR ME OR I WILL HIDE HUSAIN IN MY BASEMENT ( for some fun with making him scream 24/7 )


there is so many posiblities ( only with resources allready in game ( we got nice radio samples etc...)

i think DA end up game in " the middle " of work ...... thx to Bill ( or his stupid workers)
But DA arent "sinless" - 4years of work , but looks like half of this they spend on playng q3 and diablo2 .... and at thinking how to make some mod-posible things in to mod-nonposible.......(its joke...)
Shame DA!!!! - u screwed it up!!!

its good to now we got 2 titles at horizon ( x2 & elite4 )
thx to any 1 who read my poor english ( im games-learned )
and sorry for this political spam.... with spam

ARGHHHH... I WANT COMM
