A real "Expansion" addon

Something is really is missing from the freelancer mods, a good mod without all the Star Wars/Star Trek/B5 Stuff

I admit it's every geeks wet dream to be able to fly ships from those universes in a game like FL, but eventually the novelty wears off and one can find himself wanting to see more Freelancer stuff.

FL Rebalance Mod is a great example of a mod that is really good, but suffers from tons and tons of Crossover stuff that just doesn't fit in to the styling of the FL universe.

Making a full on Star Wars mod would be one thing, with Star Wars Systems and such, but come on, they don't use Jumpgates in SW.....

I'd love to see just one mod that expands cleanly on the Freelancer Universe without trying to force every universe into it at once, how about making a Corsair freighter? Or giving the outcasts their own ships instead of just having to use Borderworlds ones? Or adding new systems, commoditys, ect (Maybe being able to Haul Synth Paste or something, I dunno if that's even doable?)

Maybe even giving the houses their own VHF's or something, who knows?

Having a good mod all within the FL universe would just rock.

Funny. I always thought that the Outcasts WERE the Borderworlds power. It's their ships that get sold, not vice versa. Likewise with Corsairs.

I don't think there are any Outcast or Corsair freighters because none of their pilots would want to pilot such a flying target. By the same token, they don't have the money to spend on Gunboats and Capital ships because a) they're too expensive and b) they're too fragile for their price as demonstrated numerous times in the game.

Well i might be able to help you with your little wish......
me and a team of modders are working on a mod which steps a bit in to the future of the freelnacer universe and trys as hard as we could to stay true to the way fl should be, its taking time but should be ready sometime this year, probably end of the summer i think....
