Wouldn't it be cool if you mixed SFC and Freelancer?
« on: April 20, 2003, 12:59:48 pm »
You could fly a capital ship and your UI would work like SFC, or a fighter that would work like Freelancer. And an open-ended Dynaverse, ideally like Ultima Online. I know there were some thoughts here earlier about an open-ended dyna, but I also love the idea of being able to take on capital ships in a fighter, or "freelance" my way up to a CA....

Drool....Sigh...

Or just be a Romulan who raids a Federation commercial convoy transporting rare chemicals. A shame that these crossbreeds likely won't be made.

MOO3 blows

Freelancer is a bit strange to control with only the mouse.  It is a fighter style sim.  Kinda aggravated my tennis elbow playing it.

  Freelancer was fun, if you remember Wing Commander Privateer you will have a feeling on how it is.

  MOO3 was a disapointment.

Well, gee, SghnDubh, that's been what I've been preaching about for months.  Question is will it happen?  




Sorry, RB. Full credit to you. I got Freelancer this weekend & it just sorta occured to me. Were you subliminally influencing me? Get...out...of...my...mind!

My advise is to buy Galactic Civilizations. It is like MOO but WAY better. And the company that made GC guarantees FREE updates for at least one year.

It's like Homeworld with less ships but a better research/developement aspect.

It's pretty good, but kind of being in the middle of nowhere... Not fully a space strategy game (like MOO etc.), nor is it a exceptional RTS.
It's good in both, not don't excel in either.

What it does excel is its graphics. Oh dear do they look GOOOD!!!!! It's so good that their in game shots are CGI quality. (too bad my video card sucks, I can't play at high quality.)
