Anyone remember this petition?

I never said an entire game from scratch.
I simply said a more advanced mod.
I’ve worked with C# I know that there is no way people who can manipulate .ini’s and people who can manipulate .dll’s can make a game from scratch. No offence guys, what you do is simply amazing, but there is nowayrealistic chance that a new game can be made from scratch with only part-timers to boot, it’s a fair bet that the engine would be the cause of the roadblock, unless those Part-Timers are fanatical to the cause. -
<===Is fanatical enough!!In all seriousness, ya, I agree. But we can still try to push the game the game boundaries

^ Who’s that?? ;D ;D ;D

He’s a fanatic

@Oma:
He’s a fanatic
He lies! That is Sushi after we give him yet another headache from our often zany ideas that we throw at him on Freeworlds! He used to look young, unwrinkled with coloured hair before he had to put up with us!
I have now successful de-railed the thread…WOOOO!!!
Anywho, ya, sadly, I don’t think anything will be done in terms of Freelancer - ie. source code/Freelancer 2. It’s a shame, really

The guy who runs Stardock wants to go back and update some older games – I always thought that the Modders of freelancer should explore this route See link below for ars technica article

A Freelancer 2 as a separate game would be insanely hard, but I’m merely talking about a mod where everyone in our community collaborated.
And OP, you said it was possible to create another singleplayer campaign for FL.
I had saved a big long post made by someone on a different board who had some ideas for a Freelancer 2 mod thing, if only I can find it… -

Uberlancer is suposed to be doing what you’re talking about. The problem you will always have in a large collaboration is simply agreeiing on anything. Someone wants a yellow coloured tractor beam, someone wants a blue one and so on. I prefer well written mods from smaller teams simply because it’s easier to reach the goals of the team or mod maker.
And i agree with the above statement, that petition was nothing to do with the development of FL2 or Project Lonestar. Microsoft will NEVER make FL2, it really is as simple as that. And to all the people who cry “well if you don’t try then it really won’t happen”, all i can say is GROW UP!!!. Microsoft only do games for the Xbox, period. They are not interested in making games themselves, especially not for the PC. If they can cancel a franchise that’s been going successfully for over 25 years , i’m talking Flight Simulator here, which was also highly profitable, then what chance has a little space sim called Freelancer 2 got? Hmm?
