Why are u saying no cargo missions?

"The part of Freelancer that is not related to the story - we call it the "random game" - has made some great strides. Several of the random mission templates came online recently. The "delivery cargo" and the "destroy" templates are ready and in test. These templates will eventually support many different varieties of missions. For example, the "destroy" template is used for missions with goals such as "patrol for enemies", "collect bounty on a target", "defend station from attack", etc. The game gains a lot of depth and replayability through these templates, which is something we're very excited about. "

Thats from a January Update from the Developers.

So basically all this crap about no delivery missions is based on the people who have a warez copy or a PR copy or have only played the demo?

please STFU until release thanks

It might be good to note the date on that journal:

"Freelancer Development Update: January 2002"

Back then a whole lot of things were mentioned but got scrapped...

1. doh didnt see the date.

2. I really doubt if they have the template that they would leave it scrapped, if anything they would add the feature in an initial patch. Does anyone know if there is a LiveTeam for FL?

Yes, I sincerely hope you are right.

Although it has been confirmed by a moderator here that the state of missions is currently so. Perhaps, as you say, in a future patch of sorts. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

Yeah Iam sure that in the future their will be add on's or patche's that will add more thing's!

I also think they will add cool missions and other nice things in patch releases. If they have any sence they will...

Man, I would really like to see some " Cargo " or " Bounty Hunting " missions in there :-)

Really think the game is great, but we REALLY need some other mission types in my opinion to extend the game play :-)

To be honest, I was half-expecting to see a menu option for "load plugin" much like in Morrowind (no i am not plugging the game - just giving an example). But, once more, you just never know what the future has in store...

I think you will see some additions to the game in the future. Ether a patch or expansion pack. What is really important right now is for this game to sell well. If it does not...the DA team will be assigned to another game ..or company. Thats is what really pisses me off about these illegal copiers of the game. They download a game for free and then have the nerve to cut it down. If I was the Moderator of this forum..those guys would have thier posts deleted.

There ARE "Bounty Hunting" missions. Capture and Assasinate missions are 2 of the types present. The 2 types that are needed are ESCORT and DELIVERY missions. Now that I think about it, both of those types MIGHT need to be between systems. Could that be why they weren't included?

Inter-System missions would have much higher wage values (like in Privateer).

I wouldn't hold your breath on a patch that contains new content. Bill didn't get rich by giving stuff away.

IF I have to pay for I it thay would be fine with me. I'll help to bring this genre back to life.

Thu Feb 27, 2003 10:38 pm by Killjoy

now that u mention it that may be a reason for scrapping it.. how do you offer missions for places the player either A cannot get to for SP plot reasons or B doesnt know where it is?

Little more complicated than it looks i guess. I'm still toying with the idea of trying to mod it in once i see some of the code,

Thu Feb 27, 2003 11:06 pm by 666heretic

there are bounty hunting missions. like if the liberty police watn a certain guy dead then all you have to do is kill that one rouge, and bam u get ur 2k +

-I trade for a living, rouges piss me off, come get me, catch me if you can, i will leave you in the dust, or you'll die trying, take your pick.-

@Heretic Inc. We trade because we own.@

I believe I have seen some inter-system missions. They're very rare, and I haven't seen them in awhile, but I know they have been on the job boards in some places. So inter-system missions are possible.
