But could be wise for other "SWATers" and "Crossers" to go there from time to time. ATM the freelancer related boards get a bit conquered by "Discos". Seems they try to lay out a picture, as if Discovery is THE one and only trueongoing, surviving Freelancer game community and Freelancer mod at all. (Or am I just a bit too suspicous ????)

@ Huor I mean the FL related board ON the site of Chris Roberts.

@ OP I would second, that this reapearing of Chris Roberts bears the danger, that further developing of Freelancer (mods) might dropdown to a trickle - for some time. Especially if they don't "deliver" something more substantial, what most likely will take A LOT OF TIME,more than " just a years work, as announced. Nonetheless, almost everybody on this planet interested in Freelancer WILL go there. And this Disco thread there gives me quite an itch, I don't know how to reach.

Well, doesn't really help me with that itch, but I think I have to live with it. Best way to tackle this (Chris Roberts's stuff): KEEP ON GOING WITH CROSSFIRE and make it better before he can come up with anything.

@ MISTER(robert)BROT Mr. Roberts doesn't have ANY rights on Freelancer. He sold them to microsoft to fund his plans of making his (mediocre at best) films. Due to this "rights"-stuff there will never be a "Freelancer 2" if not microsoft decides to make one. (beside the MUCH BETTER STUFF made already by lots of modders, built on Freelancer, even though microsoft never opended the source code up to the public. OHHHH ! What that could have made possible, can be seen by the Freespace 2 Open, now a …

@ Hour A so-called "FREE2PLAY"-game (HAHH). As it looks like you have already to buy a "standard".Most likely you won't go anywy far without. But I have to admit it LOOKS very good.

Squadron 42 and Star Citizen fits the same as being 12 years a roman legionaire, then getting a pice of land and get the roman citizen rights. Worked for the roman empire from approx. 250 bc until 300 ad. Then the germans WANTED ALL !!

Unfortunatly a lot of money doesn't guarantee a good game. ..and in this "special" case, even doesn't give a guarantee of a timey or even final release. His last "work" had to (and still IS) to be finished, finallized and PEFECTED elsehwere. ...HERE

(Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R)Why not ?? It's a SPACEship, so form 'n shape actually isn't of any interest (no "air"-drag ).What matters is mass distribution, power, positioning and "turn-rate" of thrusters. ... and the capability of the "supporting" steering software, that handles them.... in a newtonian flightmodel (as told by the spacesim-game-genre savior).

I totally agree with you on your point 1., this thingi would be nightmarish in an atmosphere. On your point 2. :I would like to note, that Chris Roberts seems to be a fan of anything moving :wacko: on his ships for StarCitizen/Squadron42.Perhaps the four semi-main thrusters in the 2 side nacelles are also movable, witch would give an "interesting" upwards thrust on the x-axis.... perhaps even the two main thrusters at the aft.On the 1st pic, 2ng row there are two structures at the lower side of…

Thanks, Snake As I said, the thrusters are in themself moveable in 2 axis.Even on that ship above : enough to get it moved in all 3 spacial dimensions and axis'.

Let's wait how much of which game will be part of it (he forgot Homeworld ), when it will be released (if ever),and what parts of it YOU can actually play without buying additional feature (ofc ONLY with in-game creds ).
