And I doubt it will come out either.
Though I don't really believe in rumors.

If I hear anything about freelancer 2 in development, then I hope the controls are more like flying a ship with a joystick than using a mouse.

I dunno ive gotten used to this mouse and keybord thingy

If they do do it with Joy support, it should definetly be like privateer,
Joystick + Keyboard for space + mouse if you want to use it (or freelancer mousw + key control system)
Mouse + Keyboard for planets (using a joy on navigating menus and junk is hell, but its possible)

that way, i think nobody could complain

privateer was a pinnacle in gaming

why would you want FL2 for everything you want is on FL just play on the servers on the internet if a FL2 came out what would you want different.

There are several good mods in production wich realy re-create the game.
I'm tlaking about Frost-Works New Universe mod and Ioncross mod, Total War (I think).
They are both realy promising.

If you can't wait for that, try Free-Worlds mod, wich is a star wars conversion.

That's the closest you get to FL2 I'm afraid.

Edit: Damn spelling.

- I'm not crazy, I'm a car. And if you don't believe me, you can get out and walk home. -

there is allready a bunch of great moders out there that have created a bunch of rippin mods.
It would b great if they worked together more and made there mods compatable with each other would like 2 see more Mp mods .

How about taking it into your trusty hands? How about moving things and not just talking about it?

owee I guess its not that simple. Ther are few problems: Knowlegde, oragnization, availability and most importent - time.


Can Freelancer:Mod be that great as HL:CounterStrike is?

Money is important too

time is money

Making a community addon for FL would be cool, but I don't think we can edit all the aspects of the game. For example does anyone know how to make cutscnes, either the in-space ones or the planet ones? We'd also need some voices (So we'd probably need some new characters, unless anyone is good at impressions.)

I mean yeah, we can add ships and extend the universe, but really, to make a "Freelancer 2" we need to be able to do so much more.

Man, it hasn't even been a year since freelancers release. Don't count out a sequel just yet, it is WAY to early in the piece. If DA are putting FL2 together, I wouldn't even expect an announcement about it's development until late 2004.

Freelancer could of gained a lot more popularity if it had a 3D radar, joystick flight, and a dynamic economic.

@Moby: I'd love to, if I was still in my early teens and had nothing to worry about life. I'd be happy to help if anyone got a team together though.

"Freelancer could of gained a lot more popularity if it had a 3D radar, joystick flight, and a dynamic economic."

You sound like an X2 fan. BTW, X2 is having the same release issues FL did (imagine that.) Patch No. 1 already out. Also, X2 has zero MP playability.

Freelancer could of gained a lot more populairty if it wiped my backside too.

Freelancer is what it is. The fact it doens't have everything everyone wanted proves it is it exactly like 100% of the software created before and after this post.

I'd be happy with Freelancer OnLine myself.

Well,

I know it is called Freelancer, but it would have been cool if you could have accually joined the Liberty Police or the Liberty Navy and if you did missions for them, you get a 50% bonus for being a member of them.

Now that would have been more fun, then when you are trying to be a Outcast and the Bounty Hunters are still calling you "Freelancer Alpha 1 #1" or something like that.
