SAY WHAT??????

Someone please.. PLEASE tell me there is more to the main story line........!!!!
I recently bought the game and played it non-stop... but after 15 hours of game play I had completed the storyline?? (13 missions i think) IS THIS REALLY ALL THERE IS TO THE MAIN STORYLINE??? Someone please tell me otherwise

I have since progressed to level 30 with new ship and I'm really looking for some more challenging "storyline" missions...? Think I'm at about 20 hours of game time now and am looking for ....something new? something challenging? something ??? SOMETHING!!!!

Grand I activated the alien artifact and ... thats IT?

Last I heard was something about go take a vacation. but comeon after a while the same old same old same old same old same old missions with different names get a bit old. Is there more to the game?

someone tell me

Hawk out.

wow, I never seen any other post about this. Yes thats it. get over it. there are more things to do but there arn't any more storyline missions.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

If you hurry through the story missions, you are "quickly" done. I would suggest going for the multiplayer or trying out some of the MODs.

Remember that the time-counter just increases along the time you are successfull. If you redid any missions because you died, that is not included in the timer. So you propably have spent longer than the 15 hours...

Otherwise send a wish to MS at this link requesting an expansion!

This must be one of the most posted thing on this Forum..
Yes, the game is at its end now, u have beaten it ! *Congrats*

Go out to the MP, play on the Elites servers and see that there are more then just a SP. Playing fair and helping other players will increase the life of the game alot !!

Yup that's it.

Now you can go out to the MP, play on the Elites servers and see that there isn't much more then just a SP. Playing fair and helping other players will increase the life of the game for a few further minutes until the novelty factor wears off. Then once you've gotten to level 38 online, you can come back and ask the same question.

There are many more things better to do than playing free lancer (like wash your car, mow the lawn and stuff like that..)

Maybe you're in my situation, no DSL out here in the sticks. Since I'm limited to 56K, MP isn't an option for me, but I've racked up about 100 hours and still enjoy the game. Have you found all the jump holes and hidden bases? How about your factions, can you safely travel the Border Worlds? Do you even know where they are? Can you cruise the Badlands and never crack a shield? Can you make the killing shot with a single twitch of your lightest gun in the heat of combat so as to save cargo and dropped weapons? For me, the game just started with the end of of SP. This isn't a flame, but rather a suggestion that there is much more to see and do that perhaps you haven't considered. Level 38 Eagle driver.

I don't really run this house, but I have an understanding with the woman who does.

well... sheeeucks! I guess I'm just in denial. seems like such a great game but... while there is soo much to it (size) there is also so little to it! MP is where im headed, but i cant get that to work either..? (check Lock up post in MP forum) <-- and that REALLY fries me goat!


and yeah I've been to all the border worlds, found countless jump holes, wrecks and have done the same mission (with diff names) about 100 times!

sigh.. if only i could get MP 2 work. (is a patch needed?)

Done with the game? Try to mod it! Or try mods that have been created by others.

{ shameless pimp } I'm adding 2 new factions to the game in our mod, lots new ships and weapons! { /shameless pimp }

The FL campaign may not have as many missions, but you can actually finish the SL campaign faster. The thing is that FL doesn't let you fail a mission and move on, while SL does. So in SL you can just launch, eject , and move on immediately for a good number of the missions(all you have to do is know what missions aren't critical). FL requires you to spend time in between many of the missions to build up your level, and your travel time between two points in space is MUCH longer.


In other words, the FL campaign is still a decent length, you're just not noticing it because there are fewer total missions.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless
