satan- you can mod torpedos to go faster you know.......we should keep torpedos because they are awesome.



DO NOT DISS THE ALMIGHTY TORPEDO GOD!

Right i dont mean to offend anyone here but all the things you ask for are avalible in other games, in particular the game that lured me away from freelancer -- EvE online -- its like a giant online mmopg version of freelancer. its amazing. (www.eve-online.com)

@Maverickdan, a lot of things can be found in anything. Feel and gameplay, however, are unique to all games. And some people prefer the feel and gameplay of Freelancer over anything else. I so far still prefer Privateer over anything else, but that's me.

Sir S

how bout, missiles that actually follow a target.The missiles in FL were cr@p,missiles should go 10-20 times faster than ships and be more manuverable than any of them.

Also the whole "ships need different speeds" thing is a load of horse$hit, in space,nothing limits speed.Rather have ships with different accellerations,
EG all ships with max speed 250
LF top speed in 9 secs
HF top speed in 15 secs
VHF top speed in 20 secs
Freighters top speed in 40 secs
Cargo ships/gunboats top speed in 60 secs
Capital ships top speed in 100 secs

Time is a waste of life, life is a waste of time, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life.

I didn't see these in the above posts but I am old and may have overlooked it so forgive me.

1) Used ships. When people trade in there ships, why couldn't they be available if someone else wanted them? Like that Dromedary traded up for a Sabre or a Barracuda traded up for the Drom.

2) Real life expenses.....I mean, we fly around all game long but do you ever have to pay for your fuel, food, water, etc? It might sound silly but life isn't free. With working for a living comes operating expenses.

3) New jump holes or even bases from factions just "popping up" as space changes.

I'm sure I could think of more.



There is no honor in killing the weak-Klingon Proverb

I would like to see a taxation for trade lanes.
Parts of your ship were out .
a casino,for gods sakes iv got up to 7.5 mil and what can i do with it.
I would love to have an arena in sp where you go and place a bet, say agaist an outcast where you could win a lot or lose everything, maybe even a pink slip race.
would be kind of kewl to build ya own freeport or somthing.
and a easy to use system editer, my god that would be awsome.

KILRATHI!!!!!!!



I'd love to fight some more Gothri heavy fighters
and some Kamekh Cruisers, any Kilrathi ships would be sweeeeeet

who wants Kilrathi??

and the Chruch of Man would be cool too

Im an X2 defector and that game apart from the fact that its pretty to look at is a pile of alien organism poontang.

I recently pickked up a copy of freelancer and cant put it down!

Anyway to the topic at large my requests for F2:

a) Chance to own more than one ship say a max of 2 fighters and a freighter to do your trading for you as you battle away on combat missions and have AI wingmen to hire to guard em.

b) Better communications between ships with say a drop down menu of choices. IE: Help me im under attack/ which is the way to.../ you smell get off my six....
Plus wingman communications.

c) More systems/secrets/ more varied missions an obvious point really. Cutscenes should be more varied too plus lots of secret cut-scene based missions.

d) A chance to own bigger ships but not capital class, id like one of those Brit Bird-of-Prey style gunboats to ferry my stuff about!

e) Like to see bigger tradelanes and see big cruisers/battleships use em.

f.) Battle ships should move a bout a system at random, so if you want to dock with one you will have to find it.

g) Cut scenes and radio chatter, should have more 'region specific accents' Ie Bretonians sound like Brits, Kusari sound like Japs, Reinlanders sound like Germans and so on. Being a Brit myself having to land on Battleship Hood with an American waving me in grated a little (not attacking US here just a touch to add authenticity). (Especially when my Great Uncle served on the real Hood in WW2 and went down with it when Bismark blew it away.)

cant think of more at the moment.

Krazy your forgetting the laws of phsycics and stuff.


In space its not that the ships are slow, they all go the same speed, they are just hard to turn because their weight is still going the other way.

oh and missles DO follow their target, you just need to learn how to use them properly.

What also is a thing to be added is well maybe a bit big but its an idee an new sector like the sirrius sector but i think that one is very full already.

and wat happend with the other allied forces hwo where left behind i mean that other group would going to look for them right so they could kill them to... anyway i think its better that the makers of FL make a patch and not a Freelancer 2 cuzz dont think an hole new game is needed

know what would be cool. like if we could build battleships and like put them on a route path so they keep on going to differnt systems and trading and selling to other people (makeing you a profit) and then we could build stations here and there so we could be a part of the "ever-changing" universe while makeing a nice buck for ourselves but i dont think it would be implemented into multiplayer and nor do i know how it would but it be cool especially if you have to hire ships and guards to protect the stations and battleships because they would be destructable.

also the ability to create plans for a custom ship so we could make our own flying machine to our specs.

o yeah and the ability to fly on planets like if i want to go to mahathan but i want to go to a specific planet, that sort of thing.

there once was a group of heros.
they were off to save the day.
then i ran them over.
with my car, o yay!

I have been recently really getting into the Multiplayer side. Here are some things that would make multiplayer more interesting:
- linked Nav Maps
- groups share all information purchased by other members of the group.
- waypoints set by one group member are visible to other group members.
- shared commodity prices
- only one group member need dock to get prices.

One thing I thought of was salvageable PIECES of destroyed ships. Things like wings, cockpits, engines, etc etc. Heck, people would be making their own mini-dreadnaughts, but you have to admit, things would be pretty interesting, putting your own ships together, or physically upgrading a starflier.

hey spectre....can you start a list of what wolfy wants?


some of what i think would be cool might be on spectres thing

ok here goes

-upgrade related things
--being able to do special tasks with differents factions to get special privliges (nobots/shield batteries that repair/recharge more damage, buying differents ships) and...its time 4 dinner so i will post later
