Hello Everyone!
I played Freelancer for a while, off and on since about 2005. I found it a little late. A friend and I played Age of Empires II: Conquerers to death, and went to find a new game. I started looking around to see if I could find what happened to a game I loved to play in the early 90's called Fed Space. I looked and looked and couldn't find mention of it anyw...
oops... Well, I couldn't find any mention of it over the years until: just now. I figured I'd better check my facts before blathering along to obvious space sim fans and did a quick search. *sigh* Why is it showing up now?
OK, so, it looks like it was called "Federation", not Fed Space like I thought. I think we played it through AOL, and I just found a page that says Federation was on AOL in the early 90's, PLUS there is Federation II since 2003. You all probably know all about that so I'll hush.
Soooo aaanyway.... Loved that game and was looking for it when I found Freelancer. I was a little bummed when I tried to connect to online servers and found the global server missing. Eventually found my way here and was excited to see such die-hard fans keeping Freelancer alive. Thank you.
This has probably already been discussed in the forums, but, I am curious how many of you are waiting for Chris Roberts' new StarCitizen sim. Will you defect? Play both? Ignore it?
My experience with Age of Empires steers me towards a hopeful NO on SC killing FL. For me, no game has topped AOE:C or FL for re-playability and just plain fun (I thought AOE III was $^#&*(@ #$@ *#$& bad. Bought it. Shelved it forever.)
Thanks for keeping FL alive! I gotta go find Juni. She's been AWOL for a week.
