FL is phantastik

High All

This is wicked Kykeon, transmitting his message from Athens, Greece.

As an old pervert who used to tire his eyes playing Elite on Commodore and Amiga machines back in the old ages, i finally saw FreeLancer as the game
where i could AGAIN glue playing myself to the ****in pc. lol.

So, okee, FL has fantastic graphics [compared to geometric ships of Elite
and cool music [compared to 'blue danube' of Elite and so on.

But some things must be said, thats what I think.

What i do dislike in the game?
...its american label on the forehead. Please, give me a break. The game is
supposed to be FREE-lancer, not Prejudiced. How does it come that german
mother ship was named "Rheinland" and british was named "Britonia" but the
ship from the states is ****in called "Liberty" !
as if the guyz from the states invented freedom...
and i dont ****in get it why Corsairs have Greek names. Really.

Secondly, it is supposed in SP mode that you are a FREE-lancer, not an
American Pilot who fights for Liberty and Freedom. When i installed the game
i thought i could be anything i wished; Rogue, Merchant, Corsair, Libertian,
Britonian, Outcast etc. But hell no, i have to be with the Liberty. And following the story-line, it MAKES me enemy with some of them, although i dont want to!
For example, after the succesful fight of me and Juni protecting two big
ships, there was a ****in cinematic where... the Rheinland ships had entered
the territory and they already opened fire. So, now i have the germans as
enemies which means i have to try to change this; although noone told me
that accepting the mission to protect the big ships from outcasts will lead
in making me an enemy of a third party.

So, SP really sucks. so...
I am making my machine a loooooone server of "me, myself and I" so that
i can re-live the glorious past of my favourite game, Elite.

Also, two significant points:

a) the ESC button should be usable for avoiding cinematics you already have seen.
b) there should be SUBTITLES for all those poor guys [luckily not me who happened to be so unlucky not to speak English fluently.

come'on, there is a planet here called earth; we are not all the same.
a game that tries to be shown as "do what you wish" should be really free
and not guided.

because, after all, no God has signed that America has to rule everything.

anyway, the LANCERS REACTOR site is so cool, perhaps more cool than the
actual game rofl just kiddin

Keep up the good work guyz, some MODS are really cool.

Have a nice summer to all of you

Glad you like it

Scroll through te numurous posts in the spoiler- and discussion forums, you'll find some good discussions in some of them regarding the subjects you yoursellf post about.
Topics about wich is the best ship are being locked though, due to repetitiveness.

Have a good time

oups i forgot to mention that the game is not well balanced between
Merchants and Fighters.

Accepting a mission [kinda easy job in the beginning, you can gain 2000 credits and more, while being a merchant you can gain tops 500 credits...

btw, what does the DOLLAR sign do in the game?

i suppose the US dollar is so cool as a currency that the whole Universe
work with it. Shouldnt be more cool if they invented a non-existing currency?
Shouldnt be more cool if they didnt use such names for planets etc?

Ah... it seems that the creator's team fantasy ended while finishing with
graphics and soundz... too bad.

**** lol four stars for the forbidden word. why is that, btw? we all say f u c k but we arent suppose to write it down? thats pure 'showing' lol

i hope the mods of this place are open minded enough to understand my posts.

if u wanna start flaming, i dont give a beam lol

First, technically you are not an American pilot who flies for freedom- Not at first, anyways. Edison Trent is of BRETONIAN origin who is flown to Liberty from Freeport 7 (obviously to start the plot). Secondly, you have a choice of going with the storyline or not. That way you can make your own path. Thirdly, some of the groups become friendly with you after the campaign automatically. And fourthly, after the storyline is finished, you CAN be anything you want to be. You can break off from the storyline anytime you please and become a merchant, fighter, whatever. There are bribes to make one faction like you more. And much more to discover in the world of freelancer.
