The Republic Mod poll

We at the Republic Mod would like to know: would the players of Freelancer like The Republic Mod to be a Total Conversion? We would like it to link on to Sirius. But we are interested in your views.

You mean a TC to Star Wars? I'd certainly like that. It would have all the fun of Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed but without the monthly subscription fee. I imagine it would take a lot of work though. You'd need to re-skin all the characters, add alien meshes and have new NPC dialog for it to really work. Also you'd need to consider how hyperspace would work. Maybe instead of jumpgates and jump holes you could have hyperspace entry points or somethiong of that nature. If you feel that you could pull off all of that (and more, there's probably a buch of other stuff that I haven't mentioned) then go for it. Otherwise don't bother. You might as well just make another ship pack.

You obviously haven't heard of us: we've been in production for a few months now. We want to know if you would like a TC, or a mod that keeps the Sirius systems, and adds EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT of systems, factions, ships, etc. as there would be in the TC

If you don't want too many ignorami (like me) posting nonsense here then describe the Mod in more detail (waaaay more detail) and/or put a link to your main site where we can find the relevant information. Thanks.

The basic question for you though, is how much work do you want to put into it. A total conversion is a massive amount of work, where as, adding a system or bases and some ships is easyer and quicker for experiance sake. Hostile universe is not a total conversion, but it does have a lot of new systems and ships and is a lot of fun playing, and while I would like to play a total conversion, agian, the work will take a few months of swapping, creating, and testing to root out any and all bugs.

Site is under construction. Detail is something difficult to write about in great detail at 1:50am so I'll skip that as well

Well, FinalDay, the thing is the TC is exactly the same on it's own as we would add to the Sirius systems. Let's say we add 15-16 new systems, 15 factions, and about 15-20 new ships in the planned addon. If we were to create a TC, we would have almost EXACTLY the same amount of those just on their own.

So either way it's almost the same amount of work. The question is: what do YOU want? We will guarantee that we will make new things that will make you glad you chose our mod. However, do you want it in TC form, or addon form? Considering you don't even have to go through Sirius if you want, I think addon is worth you thinking about
