Just a guess ... but if you recall ... Microsoft (as usual) released Freelancer before it was completed. In true Microsoft fashion they set a release date and go to sell the product ... complete or not. That's why you have all these updates that Windows wants to phone home and update.
Freelancer was supposed to have more than what was actually provided ... more missions and more SP story. But thanks to Igiss and others ... we have created our own completion to Freelancer.
But then the best things in life change ... which is why I'm glad we have folks like Igiss to fill in the blanks and take Freelancer beyond the original artists conception.
3 cheers for Igiss ... hip hip ... hoorah ... hip hip ... hoorah ... hip hip ... HOORAH!
The manual is rather .... "Basic Doctrine of the Liberty Security Force"
Then It goes on to saying how play.
Been here since Discovery 4.77 (lurk mode engaged)

He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.
He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.
now - there is a VERY easy solution for that problem!
change ownership of Gran Canaria ( closest thing we have to new florida ) from zoners to gaians.- it ll make all the gaians happy ( yea - the ... um... 5 gaians we have ) and zoners shouldn t have a planet that doesn t turn them into apes anyway... .
but then again - if gaians had a planet with beaches, palmtrees and cold drinks, they d become lazy and wouldn t care much for their eco-terrorism anymore.. maybe not a good idea after all
- new florida - a whole planet for old people...... great.

I'll also not be the one to hijack this thread. I'd like to see the back also.
