A question about a future Freelancer

I was just wondering if anyone had heard about a new Freelancer game coming some time in the future. Either a completly new Freelancer 2 or some type of expansion.

but it aint an official one is it? that usualy means bugs, (not sayin it has) but i dont like games that crash, or freeze, or any other things like that... i have played some good 3rd party expansion "mods" hostile universe and rebalance being just 2 of them,. while i enjoyed them a lot,,. they wernt perfect,. and could be flakey at times, so now i play on the bog standard game,. maybe now as many ships n stuff,.. but at least its stable

TNG is stable, it's just a bit over the top I think.

Freelancer with no support ? Why?
A game only logicaly "disapears" when there is no community....
But the Freelancer problem is not the lack of a community. It is rather, the lack of support to the community.
The truth is even in the most popular genre at the moment (FPS), games that lack good community support do not expand much...Freelancer developers must realize that today community require some attention...The attention they give will turn into revenue...

There is plenty of room for expansions, updates, and many other stuff. There are lots of people playing this game...
An example....Visit the official game page from games that are known to "invest" in multiplayer support...Ull see that most pages try to grab attention from "modders" , clan support, etc etc....And in the Space Sim genre, this is also the way to go....
And one more thing. The problem is not the Space Sim genre... It is indeed the "shy" support most companies give to this genre...Actually today, most companies give shy support to other genres other than FPS...

EVE, and X-Tension, have show that there is plenty of people interested in this genre. And if you notice , the developers of this game try to support their community.

To answer this question, there is a trade journal that ranks game sales. If someone can get ahold of this journal and look at the number of units shipped (from company to wholesale I believe) that gives you a good idea of the number that are planned on being sold since most logical businesses do not like to tie up money on items that gather dust.

I do not remember the name of the journal, but if you find the 'Game Over' column I think in Money or Forbes or Business 2.0 it will tell you the journal.

About a future Freelancer, I would love to see it. This game is HUGE. In fact if it was additional systems, bases, ships, weapons, missions, etc. and nothign more that would kick some major booty on it's own.. Could even entitle it "Freelancer: Colonist Expansion Pack" or something....

Just my thoughts
