I'd much, much rather have the source code than FL2, sorry.

If you give them the money so they can produce freelancer 2 then they proberly will happily do it. But a petition won't get there wallets open.

Has anyone actualy contacted MS Games (Or whatever they are now) and asked them directly if they can Maintain Freelancer for them? Companies are more likley to release the source code to one person so he can maintain the game(Where u sign a NDA Agreement) then give the source out to the world. I currently maintain a game called Original War, when i asked Altar Games if they could release the source to the community they kept saying no (Year after year), it was only when i asked if i could maintain it for them that they let me. It may not work with M$, but its got alot more chance than any other way.

This is old, I signed that petition like 3 times, first time being like a year ago.

FL2 won't happen.


but please, prove me wrong...:)

If i got a euro for every time i saw a thread like this. I could take Patrick out for dinner.

There won't be an FL2. Not now anyway. Maybe in a few years. MAYBE.

Anyone remember freespace?



When the source code came out it was a total shocker.. however it summed up basicly the end of the franchise.... For the foreseeable future.



Though freespace 2 is still kicking with modification projects and the Source code projects adding shadors and optimaisers to a vary old game...



That still uses a joystick.





So.. in this year of sequils.. Fallout 3... a new 8 bit megaman game.. etc. Im sure someone with a glimmer in there eye will dust off freelancer however it may develop from now into the unknown.





But.. personally im waiting for the Xcom sequil... well the next xcom sequil.. ....





Oh and if they do release the source.. heres a little hope of what a teenie bit of procedural coding can do.

Working on it. I'm planning on doing something similar for the source code for Freelancer 1.
