SAVE FL - Collecting ideas

For starters I think one of the best ideas is to make the game more realistic in several ways.

Such as a cockpit that can be viewed internally 360 degrees with a targeting system that follows the pilots head movement, which enables a continuous visual.

Endo/exo docking ( without cut scenes) that allows the player to enter a docking ring manually and actually pilot to the landing pad or even explore the surface via flight, even combat.

360 degree area of play with stations and planets at all points of the sphere.

Dynamic NPC interaction in the bars etc, where you can have a choice of several " offers" at one time consisting from legal to illegal and based upon those choices it starts to mold what your character will become, police, smuggler, criminal etc.

Ships and weapons specific to your choice of RP and you can only purchase those that are for your choice of faction.

Docked missions: Your char can actually be involved in missions etc that require him/her to dock and engage in whatever fits his char. Including assassinations or melee with other players.

Fuel: Actual fuel consumption and "fuel depots" in each system. yes you have to pay for the fuel.

Of course the graphics to really enhance the play.

I have more, but lets see what others offer.

BIG BYTES $9.95RRP:D

Still working at it. But it should be use able by now. BTW, do any one know a FL-search link at international/english amazon page, but with the currency being uro?

Also; I will create such a thread for freelancer soon (I hope so):

Na, I want the prices in uro, but the language in english

Well, as heard, the banners with sound of warning,well a warning its that's clan territory is great, but, there could be a group of systems that be the Home of ASF, and CSF (each one on the opposite sides of the map, sure), where each clan based on one side (like police ones on ASF, and pirates on CSF) have a planet for their own in the center of the main system of each side, filled with many bases, planets (for each clan and more) and 3D trade lanes... meaning some go obligue half to up, or to down, and so on... like a multi leveled subway, and more... I know this is easyer and take less time than many other graphich and sound things, that also gives a better reality to the game.

I think, there could be as the title says "New Worlds", and also remake of the old ones, new bases and civilization (habitable-dockable planets on some systems now are empty, with tradelanes) showing a pass of time, that changes and upgrades the whole universe

Also, it could be nice and usseful there were more ships with exactly the same statistics, armor, shield, agility, firepower etc, but with little diferent models, skins and colours, so people don't start getting uglyer, rare or worse ship just to be different by the others.

Eventually, an pretty fast thing to do, makeing a "Road to Glory" section as the road to Hyperspace, but makeing it way harder, makeing it imposible for one fighter, where just a big nice group of good fighters and BSes survive.

I have another idea, but think it would be hard... but damn Great, that fighters can dock with battleships, I saw its possible.

Well this is idea post, so, here are few ideas =)

Get a huge donation going and buy the source code off of microsoft and then go mod crazy.

well a crazy idea is to ask Microsoft to make the game free to download.

but that probably wont happen:)

EDIT: another one is to advertise the game itself as the best
SI FI space sim on gaming websites. (a bonus if they sell it)

if they see the game it wont leave there mind right!

EDIT: another one is to get the support of game
development company's willing to develop Freelancer 2
and take the rights of the old FL source code in the process
to make better mods?

microsoft will probly give in to a game development company
about the source code thing

Continuing you:

[..] so they hit google. SWAT should be in 1-10 results for anything FL-related, and also should have a static page (or stickied forum thread/post) explaining everything

Translation of these threads would surely help a lot players who aren't good with english (ppl from Germany, South America, Italy, France, Asia, whatever). For example, FL was EXTREMELY popular here on 2k3, but it ended as the websites' online servers deactivated FL servers to put BF, COD, NFS, OMGWTFBBQ servers.

download MS C# express and XNA, which comes with a template game which has the beginning of a spaceship game which can be used to build the next freelancer.

This is indeed the starting problem for getting or holding players on or to Freelancer MP - cause we are interested to get ppl online, no matter to which mod.

Probably there would be a chance to get the GLS Workaround as inofficial patch to the official MS FL page.

Afaik you had a solution for holding the LS of MS for longer before they cancled it, so probably you still have the contacts and could make this happen.
