not far off to 100,000?! umm... it sorta is, maybe you mean 10,000, no, somehow i doubt it

it was a joke!!!

lol...

Listen. I am not a computer nerd, no offence but we all know what kind of people those are and they're awesome... but I'm not one. I do play a lot though. I played Freelancer about 2 years ago and played it straight through until the second I beat it (only stopping for food, toilet, and sleep). Now I'm at University and was thinking about the game... wow... that really was an incredible game and I loved it. Why isnt' there a Freelancer 2??? Well, I just signed the petition and really want to see a new Freelancer game, because Freelancer was honestly the best short game ever. It was WAY too short, I wanted TONS more options for my ship, TONS more TANGENT missions, and quite frankly, I want the game to be able to last forever and play it constantly without becoming bored or disappointed as I have with other games... Freelancer ROCKS and I really want to see another.

I think there are tons more fans that just those who have signed the petition, the petition is simply not know well enough.

Count me in, #8620 on the petition as well as my first post on this board.
Cool to find other freelancer fanatics as myself.

if only we could get even 1% of these people working on Openlancer

Indeed, if 80+ people were working on the main campaign, tangent campaign missions, sub-plots, mini-campaigns, side quests, more detailed dynamically generated missions, unique NPC's, local lore, news stories, etc. then the community as a whole would get a far better game. Far better than FL and far better than just about any other game on the market in terms of game play content. I've read most of the fan fiction forum so the excuse people don't know how ranges from weak to flat wrong. Most people can write a simple story, those who can't write can certainly brainstorm story ideas. I hope everyone knows how to use a word processor.

At this point the question is whether or not people are willing to work on a FL sequel themselves. If people are worried about the copyright issues then create a new fictional canon thats similar to FL but 100% original.

I'm starting to sound like a broken record here...

Okay, surely, surely there are more freelancer fansites than just the Lancers Reactor.

Soooo....

Here's the deal:

1.Get on a search engine

2.Search for "Freelancer websites"

3.Find a forum or webmasters email

4.And grovel and cry and scream until they all sign the petition!


See, simple isn't it?
Let's get cracking and get this thing going!!
