I purchased Tabula Rasa becuase I thought it would be the seamless space sim/fps that Freelancer was meant to be.
I can't wait for that kind of a game. My imagination would have a seizure with the awesomeness of such a thing!
Imagine climbing out of your ship, hopping onto a hoverbus or your own hover vehicle, heading somewhere to either hang out with other players in the bar or do some trading...
FPS encounters, special abilities (like Jedi etc.) Real scale ships and planets...
