In 2018 Freelancer itself will turn 15 years old. That is an remarkable age and even more impressive is that players still enjoy this game. Help us to promote this incredible game.

The summer update focuses providing some updates to the owners of battleships. There are special depots spread around in the Canis and Inner Core sectors, once you loot them you will have to gain one of tree update parts, which will boost your battleship performance for either weapons, shields or engines.

Just about a week ago I announced another update that I want to release end of December 2016 or beginning Janurary 2017 (depending on how fast I can finish the development and how much extra content I decide to put in). This new update will introduce the "Dynamic Universe" feature to Crossfire 2.0. Some people might remember that we had a similar feature in Crossfire 1.83, long time ago. Due to the complexity of such a feature and due to other priorities, the "Dyniamic Universe" didn't make it

The thing I dislike about Freelancer is the combat. It feels more like a arcade tunnel driven shooter than a space dogfight. Combat becomes just an overly obnoxious, repetitive question of, "Do you have enough shield and repair bots in your cargo hold?" And it really kills much of the fun, as enemies become more of an annoyance than any challenge. There aren't a lot of tactics to minimize getting hit. It's almost always a 3 vs 1 or worse. Which guarantees you will be flanked at all times during your dogfight, taking damage. Thus requiring you to just carry max repair and shield bots. And at later stages of game, that is all you are really needing money for. However, everything else about freelancer is pretty fantastic. Sometimes it doesn't always give the best - I am an explorer kind of feel. Unless you stick to the painful and slow to get to jumpholes. Which is another drawback for me. The speed of the ships just doesn't feel right either. And travel outside of designated space lanes can make the game drag. And just get you repeatedly jumped by annoying enemies. (The best space combat sim and mechanics, of all time, were contained in Tachyon: the Fringe by NovaLogic.)

2015 was truely was a year of detail improvements in Crossfire. After the release of the first beta version at the end of 2014 we got lots of player feedbacks and could observe how the Mod performs in our online environment. The step... or probably we should say the huge jump from Crossfire 1.9 to version 2.0 adressed many wishes and suggestions of our community at the SWAT Portal. Next to that we also wanted to redesign the complete Mod in order to look stunning and feel amazing.

It has to be my favorite game from all time. I've been playing Freelancer since 2005 (when you could find servers on 1.0 version--those who are playing or played this knows what I'm talking about). Besides of the ambient music and experience.

10 outta 10 - Best game If you're looking for a game that you'll play for years, Freelancer is the one. I started playing Freelancer when it was released and I play it now... I would recommend this game to everyone.

i play Freelancer from 2004 and i still play it. no 1 other game is so long played from players and it still the best Sci-Fi game for me. thanks for work on it. i realy cant wait for this storyline.

The single player campaign in the original game is one of the better written stories in any game I've played. That, combined with intuitive controls and loads of options in terms of ships, weapons and, once the story is done, play styles, leaves this as THE open space sim. The mods make this, like M&B, not one but many games. Each one is lovingly crafted; some are better than others, but each is unique, and gives much replayability to this classic game.

I was asked what my process for creating a normal map from a simple diffuse texture was, so in response I created the following image. Now I decided to post it up here so everyone can check it out and hopefully someone can learn from it.
