little-green-man Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Yes Yes Yes..... What is this freelancer the wild ewok speaks of Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted May 18, 2005 Author Posted May 18, 2005 Sorry, here's some background information. in the future (not sure when, but man kind has cities all over the solar system) the war betweent he aliance and the coalition is coming to an end, and the evil coalition is winning, the alliance sends 5(maybe 6) "sleeper ships" to a far away galaxy so they can start anew. the game is a mix of space flight combat simulator (if there is such a category) and RPG. you can go pretty much anywhere int he galazy, there are tons of quests to do, and tons of npc's to blow up. multiplayer is especially fun Quote
mega-robo-dude Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Do you get it on the internet or do you have to buy it? :D Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted May 18, 2005 Author Posted May 18, 2005 You buy it but can play on the internet for free Quote
TheQ Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Yeah, I play it. I usually play it in the mods, which are: Tides or War (Star Wars mod which is decided to time between two death stars) and Evolutions. In ToW, I am Rebel flying a B-wing and in Evo.. civilian still. Quote
little-green-man Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Interesting, how much does it cost to buy? Quote
TheQ Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Well, after googling around I found a link for you (very suprising that I found it ;) ) Here you go: Freelancer at Ebay. I bought my copy many years ago and still play it. There is many interesting mods for that (no, none LEGO related. Yet) so it is really nice game. Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted May 20, 2005 Author Posted May 20, 2005 I actually have an extra copy at my house in a closet somewhere. don't know why ;) Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 20, 2005 Governor Posted May 20, 2005 Some background information? Yes links... Links external sites loaded with pictures and infomation would be great... Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted May 23, 2005 Author Posted May 23, 2005 here is the official site: http://www.microsoft.com/games/freelancer/ Quote
TheQ Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 and here is the main fan-baed website. Full of info, faqs, mods and newbies. Link: Lancers Reactor There is also Starlancers and Dungeon Siege (I and II) community, but those are small. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 24, 2005 Governor Posted May 24, 2005 Now this does seem interesting... If only there were a Pirates of the Caribbean equivalent. Actually I think that's what Sid Meier's Pirates is trying to achieve, but as its only a single player game its somewhat limited. Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Is anyone else really looking forward to version 1.66 of Freeworld? Does anyone know what Freeworlds is? Freeworlds is a Freelancer total conversion, in which you cruise around the galaxy, while alligned to the New Republic, Empire, or any other amount of factions. I achieved the rank of second in command of the 181st Tie Interceptor Squadron, but I may not have the title any more. I sort of got bored. Anyone else play on Freeworlds? Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 1, 2005 Governor Posted June 1, 2005 Nope, that's the first I've heard of Freeworks! Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted June 5, 2005 Author Posted June 5, 2005 I've never heard of it either, i've only just started playing... Quote
