Well the one thing I have not seen as a new ideal is this......random character generator for FLII or a set number of start characters to start from. Some players may be women and would want to play as a woman. Maybe a random generator for how Trent looks (ie: hair color (style, etc), beard, moustage, tattoos, clothes, size (height, weight,etc), ethinc bacground. Perhaps a different starting background, for instance...ex-military, farmer, student, ex-rouge, miner, con-man, ex-con, on the wanted list, you know whatever. A bit more character developement and more interaction with NPC's.

When I was playing the first mission, I wanted to tell King that my ship was out of ammo and needed major repairs, and that I needed to return to Pittsburg for ammo and repairs. A set of commands would be nice.

Also the ability to write in the nerual log.

New places to interact in....hotel, restruant, park, etc.

Well I guess that's about it.

All ready being planned I hope to have it like EVE did, but we shall see.

Good idea, i suggest that we base it off starlancer, and when you hail someone they don't just tell you what they're doing, you can choose from a series of event-based commands to tell them to do something or request something. Depending on the situation, they might give you the ok. Of course, you could just ignore them if you wanted

Also already planned. I always wanted to do that myself

Entire planets are going to be fully explorable. You will be able to walk around bases. You will be able to explore EVERYTHING (eventually, at least )

I want all of you to keep in mind that i am 1. Waiting on the graphics engine designed by Orillion.net and 2. very very busy with other projects as well. I doubt i would be able to do this by myself, and if there are other VB.net programmers out there, help would be greatly appreciated

hiya ppl i love freelancer and im guessin u lot do too, i know its bin out for over 2 years and i play it every day but i wanna know if microsoft is goin to release a second, theres so much that can be improved upon, the idea of power plants and engines that u can buy and replace into your ships that are in several mods is brillent also the fact u can buy cruisers, gunboats and battleships in other mods though there is problems with the dockin of them in the new freelancer u should b able to buy them and dock them realistical. dont get me wrong freelancer is one of a kind and is sumit truely original and one hell of a brillent game. there needs to b more ships alot more for that fact and loads of new weapons and planets, ne enemies and allies, maybe a conection with earth is made and a war between sirus and the colonies of earth with massive armada's, mobile space stations and grand dog fights between the two groups. or even the return of the aliens how originaly inhabited the sirus sector and believe the colonies to b invaders maybe even both of these could b involed with 2 storylines one for each side, it could also b online the war between earth and the sirus sector with missions depending on which side u aline with. these are but my ideas for a the second game which i have been thinkin of for the passed several months. i believe microsoft should read this site and gather ideas for it as i no for sure that many people will buy the sequal and that microsoft would make a load more money from it but more inportantle we'd get our sequal and our new awsome game to play.

That is a good idea, and Microsoft should know that Freelancer 2 would be a HUGE sellout but they probably never will (refrain from crying guys) thats why the modders and fans hope to create a whole new game, "By the fans, for the fans". And blackhole are you really serious about this? Because I must say it is awesome.

Just to let you know there was a post on the lancers news a few days ago about a different freelancer 2 forum. Someone is thinking the same thing - here's the link (i thought it should be on this post)
http://s13.invisionfree.com/Freelancer2/index.php?


"I've got a bad feeling about this..."

Yes, they are working on a mod for freelancer called "Freelancer 2", although i heard the maker was planning on renaming it... but that may be a rumor.

I will not say whether i am serious or not, because last time i did, i was shot down and called insane. So like i said before, i will not speak of my plans on TLR until i have completed them.

Hi all,I have been reading some of the surgestions,alot I agree with,some seem to be "pie in the sky"stuff.Above all FL2 would be so good but if you are wanting to put it on a disk or two wo'nt Microsoft/Anvil get upset with COPYRIGHT?.Even if they ar'nt botherd with making another game,please tell me and others if this is so.
jeff123.

ok, thankyou Mr Blackhole2001.[page 13 Your explnation sould be on page one.I'm still thinking this FL2 should be a server game because the games basic format is there to work on and improve,just look at the other multiplayer games.I think that copyright is such a sticky subject that if you use any part of the FL game someone at microsoft/anvil will throw his teddy out of his pram and kick up a stink,[if it gose on a disk and you try to sell it ?.Maybe to help you get a basis for the task ahead,go through all that has been sugested and put them into "yes and no" questions......ie
yes no

..Free or pay....
..Disk or server game.....

thats only a 2 of many,mustang has done some which is great but to get the format clear then the others may come up with better solutions?.I have my ideas on the game whatever format it comes out as so until a few things are set it is "pie in the sky".Sorry if this blunt and I have upset someone,but i'm on the outside looking in.I do'nt know anything about modding,scripting etc I just enjoy the game so much .Heres a thought why not put a few of the big multiplayer games together on one server,Monkey,void,discovery,radomisied commodities mod,etc,[get their permition pull them all together shouting and screaming,pull a few short and curlies to get it to work and ther you will have very good baseline.I will stop I think and see if anybody would like to comment.......be gentle with me.

Again, i'm not discussing my game plans. Period.

is there a mod that has all the ships in freelancer pilotable?

that is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off topic.

blackhole best keep ya plans to yaself so others cant steal em. btw wot did u think of mi ideas on the story of FL2 i had been thinkin bout it for sum time and i bet every one has afew gd ideas its sad that not all of them can b used.
smokey

They can't be used. Copyright issues.

I dont know if this would work or not, but would it be possible to use real photos from NASA and the Hubble telescope for backgrounds? Also I was wondering if Trent could be wearing a side arm like Han Solo's. And by the way, if I am not mistaken, Trent is not ex-military and I dont think his clothes should look like a uniform, he is after all a Freelancer from hicksville.

Your not actuly bribing that faction, insted you are paying a hacker to crack their friend/foe system so you don't set off the red light. such is the weakness of a highly automated system, hack the computer control the system!
