They (I) did test for playability, but you know what... They are hostile to you, and I didn't mind them going after me, since I'm better at avoiding their fire and killing them than the "others".

They might be hostile to Trent, but I'm pretty sure they a damn side more hostile to the Navy or Police. It seems that trent seems to be on the top of everybody's list.

Privateer was fun, but it was too limited in ships and guns. 4 ships? About 15 guns? I liked enhanced thrusters and shiled regenerators and gun coolers and stuff like that, but Freelancer is SOOOOOO much more fun, and much easier. I used to get wasted by SINGLE PIRATES in Privateer when I was first starting out. The dynamic friendliness thingy is cool too; do missions for a particular faction, and chances are someone will despise you for it.

No escort missions...ups...Im beginning to wonder what this game DOES have.

But whats really important to me, because I experienced the rogues, xenos, junkers, outcasts, and what not always attacking ME too... are these ships on a schedule or are they spawned?

Npw if they were just randomly spawned to attack you, like when marching through a dungeon in diablo...where is the dynamic universe then? It wouldnt be more than hack`n`slash with the pirates just coming after you because of the faction rating ... all the talk about the factions and their interests would be mere windowdressing with absolutely zero relevance to the universe.
The fact that they always attack you although they pretend in being on the way to attack a freighter strongly hints at this.

And White Tigers escort idea would be worthless too, because if you werent there, the transport probably wouldnt even be attacked ! lol

Well, how dos it work?

No no no no .... Privateer & Privateer 2 was awesome and IWar 2 ... Freelancer is just ... yes easy .. no fun,(ok a little) no joystick, no cargo ship hiring, no wingmen hiring, same old dialog everywhere, same missions and same payments, no puzzles, ship customizing is so low ... and so on so on!!

give Privateer 2 good graphics and it is far more fun than Freelancer!!

Bull! Privateer2 was misnamed. You are just another of the overly critical doomsayers who do not know what they are talking about. For one..they do not "allways" say the same thing even in the demo. Go play Privy2 and leave us alone.
