It is writing a lot of cheques, and it wouldn't be the first to promise the moon and deliver a meteor.

But with X3: Rebirth and this in the pipeline, hopefully we're going to get something good in the space flight genre, something to scratch that Freelancer itch...which I am going to have to reinstall at some point.

What are the top mods for Freelancer these days?

Well this game have more community involvement than what I have seen before and its headed up by a great guy, so Im hopefull.

If it's going to fall down anywhere I suspect it will be the Multiplayer, that's a lot of server work that they're promising there, but I expect that the singleplayer experience will be fairly solid, like McBeck said, it's a good team.

Became a bit of a Mr. Roberts fanboi to be honest. The man has literally not said a single thing I disagree with. Even on controversial topics like atmospheric flight, full Newtonian physics and instancing in MP.

The man seems keenly aware of the limits of what's doable in the given time, with the given budget and with the current technology. Not to mention finding that balance between a fun game and "realism".

That's what I am worried about. It's everything I've dreamed, excluding
whole planets to explore on foot.

TNG 2.7 is what I'm using for my current FL SP play. Used that one on the Aurora
server which was popular back then. New systems, new races, new ships,
new equipment and new items. And it's also made so it works for SP.

This is exactly why I am apprehensive regarding excitement over this title. Frankly, this all seems too good to be true, and we all know what they say about things that seem so.
