and the final pic

I hope this makes you realise, like i did, why Freelancer took 5 years of development, and you can see how much visually the final version of freelancer is great.

though there are definetly some things that could have been kept in the final version.

lmao, i havent finished yet cardamine

im still fixing it up

Dude, you couldn't have made all these clikcable, could ya?

Well, looks like we missed out more then we realised. Oh well, never mind. Although the first pic (not linked) Looks like a location from a mod. I think it reminds me of Hostile Universe...

Edit: Damn spelling.

Is the picture not the battleship at Planet Manhattan after the Donau gets blown up?

Thu Jan 15, 2004 3:16 pm by cowami

what battleship? i don't remember any battleship at Manhattan

Gimme that, you petty excuse of an officer!

Ludicrous speed...GO!!!

In the storyline, the very beginning after the Donau gets it, there is a battle ship in front of newark station, you have to keep the fighters off while the rest take on the battleship?

Correct me if I'm wrong!!!!!!!

there are 3 battle ships in the picture above. I don't recalled any conflict with a battleship at the time of the donau

Keep in mind that freelancer was designed and redesigned about about 4 times. A lot of those screenshots are probably from Alpha versions of Freelancer, the guys at DA also scraped a LOT of content due to playability problems or time constraints. I believe the first beta was shipped to the testers in late 2001, so anything prior to that is probably from an Alpha version.

I wonder how much of that content lays dorment in the code? If MS was smart they could just finish some of those things and with a slight new storyline and new random missions they could get a pretty cost effective expansion pack.

Way to go, nice work! Ive been dying to get my hands on images of early versions.. excellent.

This game would have had a much grander feel with the different engine, different HUD, the solars in space (I like that huge jUmp station picture!) Why the hell did they change it from such coolness to this? NO SENSE AT ALL
