[size=14] BIG NEWS

FRONTIER DEVELOPMENTS ARE NOW BEGINNING WORK FINALLY ON FRONTIER 4

I emailed these guys the other day and actually got a email reply they abandoned its development in 2001 because the internet infrusturcture was not up to scratch (multiplayer universe anyone !!!!) but have just started development work on frontier 4 - will be about 6 months i think before demos are forthcoming but more news will be posted there in coming months

This is great news yay :Brain:

As I said, Borodin, you can play it plotless.

Make a LAN server with the server making thing and then open up Freelancer, go on 'Multiplayer' and select your own server.

Et voila. No plot to ruin the fun of what is undoubtedly a great game.

is steering your ship always have to be with the up and down keys and left and right are just for rolling your ship? is theer a way to change this?

:eeeeeh:

I remember playing this game almost religiously back in the day on my Amiga A501. A friend and i (over a few beers) decided we should revamp it for a multiplayer audience, sadly to find that someone had already decided to do it. So it looks like i'm gonna have to jump onto Elite Tournament and check it out. Hopefully you'll be able to play a normal trading game with the pirates being other on-line users as opposed to bots as in the original. Happy Gaming and BTW when is Soul Calibur gonna be a Martial Arts fest on-line on the PS2? Coz i reckon i'll slaughter all comers...LOL Lata Gata's

That isn't my point, though, at all. You can do all of the above, essentially playing a freeform game in X2, then return to the main plot at anytime, as well armed and funded as you wish. It waits for you, as it does in Morrowind. In Freelancer, you have two choices:

Allow the plot, and deal with not advancing your equipment beyond certain points until you do important plot missions; or

Remove the plot using the method you suggest. In which case, you can advance your equipment and vehicle all you won't, but you can't return to the plot, later.

How do you dock to a space station without wasting 50 credits?

Can you land on planets?

[Danny252]

to dock match the turn of the station with your ship and go in slow
and I dont think you can land on planets. thats elite: Frontier and above

I played it a long time ago. Not bad, but too easy. Extra missions were the best part of the game. I remember that i had to save some guy from a supernova, and destroy a spacestation(I got some archangel title for that), and i had to steal a cloaking device. I had anti-ECM system on board which i got for succesfulu finishing some mission, and a cloaking device. Does anybody know were there anyting else of special equipment? And that cloaking device didn't work good, it drained energy of my ship in 1 or 2 seconds.

If you want the ulitmate Elite game AND it is an online MMORG then check out JumpGate at www.jossh.com
