Does Anybody Know If there''s a chance for FL2?

This game really requires a sequel , or an expansion pack!

Post Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:16 pm

Agreed. That's why there are mods. But don't hold your breath for a sequel. Maybe someday ... I hope.


p.s. Is this thread deja vu all over again???

Agreed, but it's newbies who are talking about it.

The story is very open but think WHERE do you take it from there??

What sort of game should (XLancer) be? I use X to say it could be FL2 SL2 or a new Lancer.

Should it be like FL? SL? Something new? Trade orientated?

What sort of story should it have? etc

I think a FL2 will come out when a MW5 comes out. Sorry ,but I don't think it is going to happen unless people keep buying the game.

@Heltak

I think the Nomads come back. This time, they bring friends.... but not the
DKV.

TL - Trade Lancer

No, they have to an expansion. But give it time. The game has only been out for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... 8 Months. Maybe in 2 - 4 more months.

as I understand it, FL is the sequel to SL, and thus another sequel is not required by the storyline, even though they left it open to possibility

Yah I guess.
Thats the bad thing about modding, the game makers think that they can make you wait longer since you seem to be busy with modding.

i hope that the shield have a new type off protection...

it wouldn't stop all damage, but a protection off a percentage... shield will fall after a lot off shots, but hull damage will also be their when shield is up...

so if u shoot a missile, the explosion wouldn'be blocked all by the shield but maybe at max 50% off the blast, the other 50% off the blast will reach the hull of ur ship, u can say; it would be make the game a lot harder , and i would agree, but it would make also a lot off fun with it... shooting a person down wen his shield is still up, co'z the protection off that shield isn't good against ur type off weaps..

off co'z their must be a lot off new type off shields in the game, but the search off a great fighter will be harder and can be ruined by entering a new system...

missiles would be more used by "elite" forces, co'z shields have lesser protection against them (blast will take also a lot off hull away, by lower protection off shield, but shield stays up, but looses some power).

u can fly all type off ships;
- light fighters (max 1 shield and 3 guns and 1 turret and no torps)
- medium fighters (max 1 shield and 5 guns and 1 turret and no torps)
- heavy fighters (max 2 shields (2nd max lev 2) and 7 guns and 1 turret and 1 torp)
- gunboats (max 2 shields (2nd max lev 5) 1 gun and 7 turrets and 1 torp)
- cruisers (max 2 shields and 2 main turrets and 10 turrets and 2 torps)
- battleships (max 3 shields (3th max lev 5) and 3 main turrets and 13 turrets and 2 torps)
- dreadnoughts (max 3 shields and 4 main turrets and 15 turrets and 3 torps)

u can say, every1 would fly in the dreadnought, but if u put also a new type off ship in it, the torpedo bomber...the torpedo bomber is the heaviest fighter and only made for mass destruction off heavy armor... the heaviest torpedo bomber can rip a cruiser away in a moment...

- torpedo bomber (max 2 shields (2nd max lev5) and 5 guns and no turret and 6 torp)

but be prepaired that it can easiely can take out by almost all fighters... and can also be shot down by the same cruiser what it can rip away in a shot... so being a torp bomber would be hard and fun

i fly now by TNG 1.6 in the liberty dreadnought and only the shield can be massive to take out and i mostly use it in turret mode... i must say that i miss a torpedo bomber in the game... the bestest i saw till now had max 2 torps...

If u c some1 in a dagger make fireballs from hunters it can be me
