is this a good idea?

I've been thinking for a while, how 'bout having a new Freelancer, like an expansion, but not really, what it would do was this:
There is only 1 server, where nobody else could make there own, and on that server, there are no bots (ships flying around that arent players)
So that only players would be with, meaning lots of people would play.
how about it?
of course this version of freelancer that is out now would be left, just an addon would do this.

Please answer

I'd hate it - it would probably become pay-to-play, with the cash required to maintain such a server.

which i think they can

Bad idea....

With out NPC's, it would be pure PvP. Not a good idea. One server only is not a good idea as others may like using mods.

you need to get alot more poeple on, anyhoo it would be better to get more players or cut douwn on npc's but not get rid of them

you can only hav 128 ppl on a server anyway... the most number of people on at one time is about 60 on acouple of servers, and 50 on a few otheres, so you'd get too many peeps.

Well your suggestion is basically to make Freelancer into a "Massively-Multiplayer Online" game, which isn't exactly a new idea. Then as good as it seems to have all players on one server, there's one problem. I mean lets say this server is American-based, but what about the players in Asia and Europe? You see, unless they have a fast connection, it means a lot of potential lag for them.

Anyway, just because this idea was no good, I hope you aren't discouraged. Speaking of FL-based ideas, I've written down a whole bunch of stuff in a word document. One day when I get around to completing it, I might put it online and provide a link on this board.
