Spam them...yea that sounds like a great idea!!!!! *rolleyes*

You all go on talking like MS/DA isn't going to release any patches for the the few bugs, you also go on talking like MS/DA isn't going to release a sequal. They havn't said anything either way...give it time, and they might...FL 1 took 6yrs to develope, and I am sure they didn't say anything much there first year.

Patients, and find some other activity to enjoy while you wait.

yeah! lets spam them to death so they disrespect/ignore TLR even more!!! great plan mates!

of course, if this were a paper i would have already signed it, but petitions in forums dont work with microsoft - they suck too badly to pay attention to what their customers think . if only it were someone cool like blizzard...

but lets take a look at what their missing (its not just a few bugs that we're looking at)...this is a list of what a legit (non-modding) player doesnt have:

- class 10 graviton shields
- freighter class 10 shields
- a reason to use the liberty ships after lvl 5
- a way to upgrade those ships
- thrusters that dont max at 100 (why even have the label otherwise?)
- mercs
- faction tags (you start with [Navy but you can't get most tags)
- missions at primus and gammu
- an inter-system chat to all players
- an interactive console (besides "/invite PlayerName"
- a chat for players browsing the server list
- a favorites list for servers
- use of the extra hardpoints that MOST SHIPS have and NEVER use.
- ability to buy ships like a "large transport"
- more balance among class 10 guns
- character skin selection (besides trent)
- different role packages (trader, fighter) that have special stats*

*i am guessing they wanted to do this but couldnt, as evidenced by the way there are "Starting Ship" and "Starting Credits" stats when you make a new character. if you dont mod, how else can you change that number? answer is, you cant. so the only explanation is that they put it there, intending it to do something if you click a different character type...but they never got around to character types.

yeah, as you said, theres only a couple minor bugs in freelancer, and everything else is fine .

Hey again. The main problem we have is that Microsoft wont listen! Microsoft are just the publishers, so in essence, Microsoft did nothing but really hurry the game along, SO what we would have to do (and what is nearly impssible) is find another publisher! And probably one who listens to our demands.
But were are we gonna find a publisher who wants to finance DA? No were.

Oh and the big guy over at DA, uhh Chris something, left when Microsoft came in and told him all the extras he wanted to put in Freelancer would take far to long and they would have to be cut out. So there you go, Microsoft wont listen, DA is powerless without publshers and we cant even get our mitts on the source code.
Bleak, yes but we gotta keep trying, no matter what you cant loose hope, cause when you do Microsoft has won, permantly.
(Oh yeah, lets spam Microsoft into next tuesday! Thatd be fun...)

I allready sent them a Email concerning the lame MP cheating. Got a standard form Email back saying thanks and all that stuff. I read somewhere that the reason so much was left out is cuz Microsoft wanted FL to be on just one cd.

ok ive been reading most of the replys in this thread and i think im gonna throw in my 2 cents :O)

i think MS should consider a FL2
cause u gotta look at the amount of attention its getting in the forums and byt the fact that theres sites all over the web for freelancer.... plus thwres countless servers on the global server...
so when u think about it theres a damn lot of people who love this game (some like me have lost social lifes because of it)
so if they bring out a sequal or an exspansion disk then they are gonna make a profit outrite.. even the smallest exspansion disk will sell like hot cakes ...
MS should seriously consider making something like that or atleast give the rites to another company that will make one...
lol thats all i wanted to say

Why don't space shuttles puncture heaven?

Blade chaser, your 2 cents is nearly 2 months after the fact. There have been a lot of digging up old threads recently. Myself included.

what better way to remeber the past than digging up old threads
and i wasnt on forums 2 months ago so there !!!

Why don't space shuttles puncture heaven?

This is pointless, sorry. M$ don't care what customers think, here's their MO:

BECOME A MONOPOLY AND PEOPLE HAVE TO SWALLOW WHATEVER YOU DO!

Works with OS, right? RIGHT? Sheesh. I just hope other game companies are
noticing, and we see a return of the space genre. NOT pay-per-month-online-only
either. I hope they see the strengths & weaknesses of FL, and learn.

Someday, there will be a FL2 but I'm not holding my breath. I will buy it tho.

More MS bashing? seriously guys you sound more and more like the hippies of the 21st century.

It's the cardamine

EDIT: Ya ya, I get a point...anyhoo, screw FL2, I just want FL source code...thatd be all we need...

Bakedpotato convinced me that the thread could still be productive. Don't prove us wrong, Killzone A simple aye or nay to FL2 is enough (duh, like anybody's gonna vote nay )
