This game totally rocks, but demo issues, and questions..

Ive been playing the demo nonstop since its come out, and cant get enough of it. This is sort of the problem though, I cant get enough of it. I cant help but think, why did they have the game cut off? You have one system, 5 ships (one you cant use), why the cutoff? (I figure it has something to do with the continuance of the SP story) Its cool, but with the game a week away im dying here...

Then there are crazy questions...

Will I be able to fly pretty much any ship seen in the game? What about those long cargo ships that you have to escort so I can ship drugs bulk? Can I join the police? (Patrol and scan craft for contraband around specific bases)

This game abosolutely rocks, and I cannot wait for it.

Yah, it is a tiny bit too short, but it did its job to entice you into getting the game.

You can fly the majority if ships you see. Not the large capital ships tho, only the single fighter/freighter ships. So even tho you cant fly those really long cargo ships, you can still purchase some freighters which have cargo hold sizes of around 80 units, enuff to make a couple ten thousand bucks in a run.

You can't truely "join" a faction but you can align your reputation so taht they like you the most. And in multiplayer, your name will sport a tag showing other ppl which faction you are liked by most. The more a faction likes you, the more equipment you can buy and the more higher paying missions you can get.

I can't speak for other people here but the Freelancer demo is the biggest frickin' demo i've ever seen! It's almost a full game for itself.

I've been playing for 2.5 hours and i'm no where near level 2. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff there is to see, etc.
