I've played the demo, enjoyed it, but the X games are so much deeper.

schlurbi · Sat Mar 14, 2009 1:10 am

ive never tried the X games, i thought about it many times, but i always read that the tutorial isnt that good

Skillers · Sat Mar 14, 2009 1:11 am

They are hard, but they are so deep and so awesome. Not very good story, but the sandbox is incredible.

schlurbi · Sat Mar 14, 2009 1:20 am

but no online mode, and maybe a too good graphic for my pc again

Skillers · Sat Mar 14, 2009 1:22 am

Oh yes, X3 rapes computers quite hard!

schlurbi · Sat Mar 14, 2009 1:26 am

Freelancer online>EVE.

I'm gonna get flamed so bad for this. Freelancer is a godly game.

i dont like Eve aswell, its more stats based, its like a WoW in Space....
can you fly through the whole Universe in Freelancer Online? or is it just a big battle?
i'd really like to try it, but i dont know if i have to start again for it, etc and i dont want to fly alone, just think on a communist Friday, about 12 people flying in a formation ^^ getting attacked by pirates or we are pirates :p would be so awesome

Skillers · Mon Mar 16, 2009 2:01 pm

Hmm, it's only £3 from Play, I may have to get it.

schlurbi · Mon Mar 16, 2009 2:03 pm

yay!

i talked to a mate, he is playing with a mod that you have Ships from Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, etc. also planets :O

and online, you can really fly with mates through the universe.

Ogris · Mon Mar 16, 2009 2:06 pm

Depends, servers at 200 people max so that's a bummer. But with mods you got so much content it's insane(triple, quadraple the original systems) And yes you can fly through the entire universe, some story-only systems are locked out however which sucks.

schlurbi · Mon Mar 16, 2009 2:17 pm

what? only 200 people in the whole universe? with or without bots?
i mean, even the normal universe is really huge xD you'll never met someone

Ogris · Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:09 pm

Without.

Don't worry, you find 5-6 people in the most populated system usually along trade lanes, and the odd 30-man raid, but what you have to understand is that while systems are big, it's quite easy to find someone if you want to do it

.

And yeah, there's still AI online, they LOVE scanning your cargo

Skillers · Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:17 pm

Is FL online part of the actual game or a mod or something?

It might be worth getting so we can fly around together for a bit.

Ogris · Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:36 pm

Part of the actual game, and it's great.

Mods just make it godly.

schlurbi · Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:00 pm

do you have to start at the beginning again? with history? or do you have to work with making missions, etc for money? then you can buy a better ship?

Ogris · Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:09 pm

You start from the beginning, but making money is very easy.

Well unless you want to buy big ships, then it's difficult.

schlurbi · Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:10 pm

why? they're very expensive?

Skillers · Mon Mar 16, 2009 9:02 pm

Big ships are always expensive

schlurbi · Mon Mar 16, 2009 9:52 pm

well, when you play solo, you mostly have no problem with buying a new ship

Ogris · Mon Mar 16, 2009 10:14 pm

Battleships cost a billion

The equipment comes up to about a further 300 million. Then is the repairing, the fact you cannot dock, and lots of other issues. The game max is 1000 billion FYI. top end missions top out at 250k per mission(which is about 5 minutes) and trade runs top out at about 50 million credits and takes 20 minutes per round trip.

ITS NOT VERY CHEAP YOU SEE.
