Freelancer 2 what do you think the chances of it Happening are?

Shroud.....maybe you should read my post again, yes it is understandable english ty very much. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> But it won´t happen.....go ahead and waste time trying to get 3000 people to sign something. Out of all the pentions I´ve seen, most had less then 3000 sigs. BH is right they aren´t going to do it for 5000 people, good luck trying to find........alot of people. lol Like I said in my LAST post. It´s a great dream to think about new things to the&quot;second FL&quot;, but it´s not going to happen in this time, that is why there is mods. There are dumb ideas that you could do and if it would make you feel better I´ll list some of them. You can: 1. ASk Microsoft nicey to make a new FL. 2. Try to bribe Microsoft with money. lol 3. Get another pention going for people to sign again. There you happy?

I still think we should try and pry the file specs out of microsoft... <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

@ Morgan Starr- No, I havent been invited, mostly because I never bothered to fill out the little form for such. Maybe I should do that sometime. Anyways, my sister´s fiance does some contract work for M$, maybe I can put some feelers out for this.

In the modern commercial world, if it ain´t popular enough, it won´t happen. The only reason Star Trek went on so long is because it got huge ratings (and the only reason Enterprise was not as popular is because it tended to ignore what history the previous series had created - and got obsessed with time travel.) My point is, is that Star Trek was (and to a certain extent, still is) considered cult - which unfortunately for sequel hunters, Freelancer is. Therefore the only way for a sequel to be made is for: a) Every copy of Freelancer available MUST BE BOUGHT! Which will show Microsoft that it is popular enough for a sequel, or b) J Dawg to go round to Mr. Gates house and physically watch him code the new game himself. Petitions and marches don´t tend to work (mores the pity) and unless enough people on this server are capable programmers (of which I am not) we are going to have cope MOD´s.

Why must there even be a Freelancer sequel? Most of what I´ve heard about FL 2 is not story based at all. Why not make a completely new game with all of the features you guys have suggested. I don´t think FL2 will ever be a reality. Edited by - rower_of_death on 9/30/2005 12:55:48 PM

(Not sure if this is appropriate). Steve Ballmer Killed Freelancer 2 &quot;I’m going to f**king bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to f**king kill Freelancer 2&quot;- Steve Ballmer (Joke) I got the idea from Uncyclopedia &amp; Steve Ballmer´s original quote where he said he would &quot;Kill&quot; Google.

how about all the major mod creators get together and make a big mod. call it freelancer 2...of course ive never made a mod before, i dont think i ave the ability to make one so i dont know how long/how hard it is to make a bigger mod than evolutions and the like.

Becuase alot of people have differnt ideas of what FL2 should be, alot of problems within the group would happen for something this big and would need FREE TIME, not getting payed, not to talk about Microsoft yelling or even sueing if they found out we were using a new engine, using FL ideas. Mods are ok, as long as you keep in the bounds. But if the company smells something big cooking.....they´ll make life bad. I´ve seen post about Microsoft and how they look at this site all the time and how they don´t enjoy mods that mess with EXE files.

HEY microsoft, if you can see this then reply... make fl2 or we might mess around with EXE files!!!

[uWhy Micro$oft won´t make Freelancer 2 OR a Freelancer Expansion Pack[/u 1. Ain´t profitable enough! Think. Freelancer didn´t turn out the best game ever. Unless everyone here goes and buys the game about 9 times, we aren´t going to get anywhere. 2. Other Projects From Fable to anything else under the sun MS right now is pumping out new games. I think the last thing they´ll do is listen to us. We´re lucky this website got in the game credits. 3. Why bother? Have you ever gone in the downloads section? There are so many Freelancer mods and expansions, that who needs it? People can make their OWN Freelancer 2 <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> --------------------------------------- If I had a dollar for every idiot on the Earth... <img src=´http://i6.photobucket.com/albu…hrisbossi/Allyourbase.jpg ´> Like anime? Go <A href=´http://www.db-unlimited.net/smf´ Target=_Blank>here</a>

well i got an idea. what if evryone on this site went out and got a new copy of freelancer. imagen the shock that places like bestbuy are asking for more copys and all the sudden the sales were huge. u can find it in the bargen bin now so go out and buy freelancer people. (not used) if this message was interpreted maby just maby FL2 might come about being. o i had one more idea. what if we asked microsoft for the right to freelancer and tryed to make FL2 owerselfs. its a long shot but some of the mods ive seen are better then the game. get the talent we have to make a game. prolly a stupid idea but hay it might work.

Exactly. Has Halo 2 been released on the PC? NO. (forgive me if im wrong) And the only PC thing Microsoft are interested in is the new Windows - Windows Vista.

One thing I have no seen mentioned is this. If DA have indeed been Run Out of MS, and IF MS think Freelancer is a Waste Of Resources, perhaps a Group of Fans/Modders could make MS an offer for the Copyright on FL &amp; possably even try to Coax the main dev, (cant remember the name) who quit when MS decided to demand a sooner release date, into working with the team on a Re-Release/Expansion, then work on a Sequel. basically forming a New DA (probably under a new name) from the ashes of the old one, DA´s Downfall was MS taking them over if you ask me, if we get together enough Hardcore Freelancer Fans in on that and all pooling there spare cash into development we could make it work. Anyone for the Idea of Resurecting DA &amp; Freelancer? <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Edited by - Zedicus on 10/3/2005 3:31:17 PM

How the hell would you manage to restart DA? How the heck would you even convince MS to even listen to you? Thats just insane. I say, we keep hacking freelancer and/or make freelancer 2 ourselves. Its what i´ve always said and what i continue to believe in. <A href=´http://raflce.proboards49.com´ Target=_Blank><img src=´http://x2.putfile.com/8/23412562373.png ´></a> <A href=´http://s12.invisionfree.com/FLCE´ Target=_Blank>FL:CE Mod Team Leader</a>

...I totally agree. Which brings us the topic of &quot;What about the storyline for FreeLancer II?&quot; What I think might be good: ...So the Kusari, Bretonia, Rheinland, Hispania and Liberty headed for the Sirius sector, right?(Althought the Hispania got destroyed on the way) So it´s not like the Coalition isnt gone. They might still be living in some other galaxy or whatever. So it could be like Trent (If we stick with him, we need to change his attitude to people! He has too much self esteem...I would never talk the way Trent does to someone I´ve never met before.) notices people with a Chinese accent/Russian accent, or maybe flying a ship that is similar to those in Starlancer (Basilisk, or something). Or maybe a Kurgen look-alike. Trent, being the &quot;Eyes and Ears of the Order in Liberty&quot; informs Orellian, and then I´m out of ideas. ...Please feel free to call me a retard, any other insults, to swear at me, criticize me, shoot my cheap Patriot Light Fighter down, or do anything else to me.

That does get annoying when people do that, doesn´t it? Sure didn´t like it when people called me insane, wacko, etc. when i talked about FL2.... Which is of course why i refuse to talk about it anymore. Course, being a mod team leader, i´m used to that. Espiecally one who is insane and tries things that no one has ever done before. Like MAKING A .064 METER LONG SHIP! Stupid freaking camera -_- Storyline is ok. A little extension: Orillion gets suspicious. &quot;Russian people never got here! That was the coalition. Well, according to the official archives at least.&quot; Trent nodded &quot;Well yes, it <i>IS </i> suspiecious. But what am i supposed to do? Stalk them?&quot;. Orillion laughed. &quot;Are you a telepath? thats precisely what i want you to d-&quot; he is cut off by trent. &quot;WHAT?! Stalk someone? Are you crazy?&quot; Orillion looks around and nods. &quot;We need to know what their connections are, Trent. This is no laughing matter. If the coalition is active and operating in liberty...&quot; Both shake heads &quot;God knows what will happen.&quot; Then you stalk them. Its an interesting espianoge mission that gives several storyline hints. Including something about a black hole. Finally he leaves through an uncharted jumphole. After requesting reinforcements, you go in. Who knows what happens then <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

I just wanted to put in my 2 cent. I have recently bought Freelancer for like 20$ in the form of a best buy game. Im a sucker for space games etc. and I must admit I love this game. I have been glued to the computer the last 4 days. Im still playing the SP missions and im still only lvl 15…. Well doesn’t matter anyway. Have you guys considered trying to contact some of the other game producing companies and asked them politely if they would have an interest in developing a sequel? I mean, the game got potential to become HUGE. Companies that made games like, eve-online, jumpgate (old game) etc. should be able to see the potential in this. What I don’t understand is why they didn’t promote it a bit more. I have never heard of the game until I bought it. Maybe that’s why it don’t have enough players. I say screw MS. Your mails will get lost in the millions of mails they receive all the time. I think the best option would be to try and ask MS what the rights etc. would cost to be able to make a sequel or simply get the code so some of you skilled programmers are able to make even better mods. I am looking forward to be playing some of the mods you guys have made after I have completet the SP part. Cheers Edited by - seldum on 10/5/2005 11:54:48 PM
