Freelancer

This game is too awesome to not have its own thread here. Anything FL related gets posted here.

 

Right now we dig the Star Wars mod, tho it can be buggy at times.

The YT-1300, while looking cool, sucks ass.

Maybe you just haven't installed enough guns on it.

It's a millineum falcon type ship, so you only get 2 turrets. It can hold 50 units of cargo however, so it's not entirely useless.

I know what ship it is. I just didn't know how many guns you could put on it. What size cargo can a smaller ship carry? Like a regular fighter?

The YT-1300 can hold 5-6 times the cargo of a fighter, depending on the fighter.

I used to love this game but I haven't played it in at least two years...

 

The combat was kind of spastic, though. Never got into it.

No, the combat never got into you. For it was you that was spastic! :D

More importantly, does the YT move like a brick though, Alan?

The YT-1300 is not the most agile ship I have flown. I actually opted for doing flybys and shooting in turret mode some of the time.

Freelancer is a cool game, although I don't like these random quests to collect your money together just to advance to the story missions.

It would be cool if there was a way to "combine" one player's fighter with another's cap ship so that one player can fly and shoot the forward guns, whilst the other mans the turrets.

 

Kinda like you holding the flashlight while I shoot. :D

That would be totally sweet.

I wonder if that is mod-able ...

Fellow OEs!

 

The word on the street is that we're playing tonight. So GET READY!

Let's have tonight's session be about the search for the ellusive Star Destroyer. Man I want that ship.

In that case, it looks like we have a lot of mining to do...

I'm thinking of getting this. If you wanted to sell the game to me what would you say?

You think we have easy access to Naboo if we have IMP rep?

Singleplayer...a little meh. But online ... (w00t) (w00t)

Meh? What kind of sales pitch is that?

Wait for Jags' description. He'll give it life. And if the testimonials of your fellow board members isn't enough, I don't know what to tell you.

Well, there's access and then there's "aggressively negotiated access."

Can't make it tonight. I have a wedding tomorrow that i have to get ready for.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

 

Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters, devoid of any Freelancer.

 

God said, "Let us make a game in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the shooters of the first perspective, and over the flight sims of the sky, and over EA Sports, and over all the RTS titles, and over every creeping Square Enix thing that creeps out the RPG genre."

 

In God's image he created Freelancer; SP campaign and MP modules he created them.

What about mods?

 

And I've heard the combat is Diablo in space.
